Agreed. If you do an international trip requirement we need to find a way to give a bye after that as well. If you need to extend the season then do it

The CBA allows for 20 games, which is why it was 4+16 games, and now 3+17, and soon it will be 2+18. That is not breaking news. It will not be happening next season though. It will be the next big negotiating point though, and most people expect players to ask for some big concessions for going along with an additional game. No longer drug testing for marijuana is my guess.

One of these days this league will oversaturate the market

Two byes, expanded roster size or some adjustments on practice squad size and requirements is a must. I'd prefer 8 home, 8 away, 1 other (international or a college town with no pro team) but I think we are closer to a 20 game season than we are to staying at 17.

There were existing pieces to build with including Olsen, Smitty, Dangelo, Stewart, Defense. 2010 was just a historically bad offense due to QB.

Oh, sure. Take away one preseason game where starters may be on the field for one quarter and add a regular season game where you go all out for sixty minutes. They're exactly the same thing. If anything, this only means even more injuries, worse quality of product on the field and more meaningless late season football. But at least they get to charge you full price for it! Hooray for unrestrained capitalism!

What Beane has done to Allen has similarities to what we did with Cam. It’s interesting no doubt.

Beane's roster is being carried by his quaterback. Buffalo with an average QB isn't that great of a roster IMO. He also got very lucky that Allen developed the way he did. He is a unicorn when you look at his college tape vs his NFL. It's way too early to tell on Morgan IMO.

This is the only correct response.

The two tenets for people who have a lot of money is to 1) keep it and 2) get more.

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised by that bit about Shane. He was one of the players that went out partying a lot when he was playing.

Pretty sure the Patriots game will be in place with lots of massage parlors.

they want more money? Godalmighty

Ouch. Maybe we can do a XL/Keon swap since they both need a change of scenery lol.

Really looks like Brandon Beane was littlefingering his way to more power. Appears he got a promotion, with somehow less responsibility of the personnel. His last few drafts are lacking at best. I was really upset when we lost him. I am really surprised about this, as all accounts were that Sean McDermott put his neck on the line to get Brandon Beane to Buffalo. That owner is something. Destroyed a really good Sabres franchise in the NHL, and then was blessed with one of the best QBs of a generation, and it sure looks like he's wasting it with the bills. Rumor is they want Brian Daboll, but there's a 0.0% shot I give that job to somebody that already has a less than stellar track record. I still have a lot of respect for Mcdermott. But he doesn't really come out of this looking great either. The leaks from the building are, in my opinion, clearly from Mcdermott's camp. I think the bills had to move on, but I'd have moved on from both. Mcdermott is still one of the best DC's in the game, and a really good defense first head coach.

80% of these free agents are better than him plus whatever is available in the draft.

I think shortening preseason is inevitable with an 18 game schedule. I suspect there will be much more emphasis on joint practices among teams.

I think 18 is inevitable as well, but why can't we just do two byes for every team then? I think that's more than deserved for these guys.

A'Shawn Robinson is a valuable depth piece. He isn't some world beater, but he's a leader in the locker room and commands respect. I think we should pay him to stick around.

19. Lomu OT 51. Golday LB 83. Wheatley S 119. Allar QB 156. Fisher LB This is the way.

It's still CJ by a wide margin. BY has closed the gap, but the gap is still considerably large. Let's not forget CJ was without basically ALL of his weapons in this last game against the Patriots, and I'm pretty sure he had an injury. BY lost to that same Pats team by like 40 points. In fairness, a good bit of that was due to the defense. That said, BY was completely incapable of keeping us in the game. Mistake free football does not always equal good football. He still had a bad game.

Playing QB in this league is tough. I can't hate on a man's work ethic without knowing exactly what it is. From everything I've read about him, I seriously doubt his work ethic has dropped. He had 2 concussions in 2 years, has his OL downgraded, got a different OC, and lost his best weapons due to injury in these short 2 years after his rookie year. Throw that in with teams having more film on him and the drop-off makes sense. Maybe he needs to change what he does in the offseason to adapt better, but I doubt he has an issues with work ethic.

18 is inevitable, not sure about the international requirement quite yet until the NFL breaks into asian markets. Get rid of preseason completely

I agree…Defense and running the football….old Foxy had it right. Unfortunately the new NFL often negates great defense with questionable rules and subjective officiating. Player safety important but you have to let them play.

Yeah you have teams that turn around quickly with players like Burrow (when healthy) and Allen. The Bears and Pats just took top QBs 2 years ago. Yeah it’s easier for the QB when they go to better rosters later, but the QB needy teams are typically at the top of the draft.
