Well-placed source: Polian's decision on Bills shifted in past day. Major factor in change of heart was talking to Marrone, who ripped org.

Marrone and Whaley need a steel cage grudge match!

It's now undeniable that Bills ownership was negotiating with Bill Polian and current CEO Russ Brandon had no idea it was happening.


Yeah. Should've sold to Bon Jovi!

Why not?

Jesus lord. the Panthers are up to 6.5 point favorites? Have any of these people watched our games against good teams? We'd be lucky to score 6 points.

PFT reports it was about the money:

Not mentioned by Mortensen is the reality that, per a league source, Polian ultimately decided he wanted more money than Pegula was willing to pay. It’s also possible that Polian leveraged the interest into a sweetened deal with ESPN, to remain there “for 2015 and beyond.”

I'm more inclined to believe that being the deciding factor (I'm sure Marrone's assessment didn't help matters). Only reason for a guy who's been out of the game for years to leave a cushy ESPN gig for the rigors of trying to put together an NFL winner is cold hard cash.
 
So far this bowl season, we've learned that the SEC and B1G aren't all that hot.

Maybe TCU and Baylor should've been in the CFB playoffs.

To be absolutely fair, the Cardinals haven't looked all that hot with Lindley at QB.

You know shit's bad when you're praying for Drew Stanton to be healthy.
 
Winston was shit this year, no denying that. He mailed it the fuck in, pathetic.
He is just not smart. Would not trust him to run the franchise.

I hope the Bears draft him

I'm bitter about Wisconsin RBs breaking Barry Sanders '88 season records.

Watt sighting!!
I kinda feel the same way about Jordy Nelson breaking Robert Brooks' yardage record last week.

But I'm slowly learning to accept the passage of time... and just in time, since I'm beginning to see dubious signs from my hairline...

I'm glad I was aware enough to post in that thread last night but holy fuck... 0_0
 
Do defensive strategies in college football amount to little more than "Find whomever has the ball and pray you can catch up to him"?
It's basically "try to confuse opposing QB so he forgets that his 3rd WR has some scrub trying to cover him and is wide fucking open"

Basically, think the Packers' D circa 2009.

Yeah I know, but to be fair to the Cardinals, they were a legitimately good team before the QB trouble and stretch of games against tough teams. The only bad loss was @ATL.

They only got their asses kicked once, compared to a string of blowouts during our losing streak. This is a good team, and they'll come out with an inspired effort Saturday. I think QB play (ours as much as theirs) ultimately dooms them but they won't go down without a fight.
