Re: Bills-Bengals game “no contest”

One of Hamlin’s first questions for doctors: “Did we win?”

I rest my case. The Bills should be embarrassed. The only champion on that team is Hamlin.

Re: Bills-Bengals game “no contest”

I guess the NFL can't cancel games every time someone is carted off and having some questions about that. NFL probably can't leave it up to the players if they want to keep playing every time that happens ^^^this. As much as I believe cancelling was the right thing to do. I worry about the preceden...

Bills-Bengals game “no contest”

I’m going to express an unpopular opinion about all of this: The rest of the Bills players were being selfish for not finishing that game. They made the incident about themselves by deciding it was too much for them to proceed. At that point, Hamlin didn’t care if they played or not but uncounted th...

Re: The Legend of Brett Favre

I think "legend" is a tricky word to use because a "legend" is not verifiable, but we have gobs of film and statistics to back up what Favre could and could not do. Another meaning of legend, however, is "a person or thing that inspires legends," and I think that's what...

Is it time to make a major change to QB play?

The whole Tua situation has got me thinking: How could the NFL change the game any further to better protect the quarterback? And I think the answer is only a major change related to what the quarterback is allowed to do would make any difference. -The quarterback would no longer be allowed to run w...

Re: COFFIN CORNER VOLUME 44 NUMBER 3

I noticed this issue only has illustrations and no photographs. Is that a new design choice going forward? Or were photographs hard to find for the subject matter?

Re: Shorter pre-season?

You can't continue to have preseason games if you don't offer some value for the fan. If the starters aren't playing and the games don't matter, then so what? You get better value paying to watch the teams practice and scrimmage (sometimes against other NFL teams) at training camp with the possibili...
