Would You Rather
Summary
Host Bruce Nolan analyzes the Buffalo Bills' 53-man roster, arguing the team prioritized perceived talent over traditional positional quotas. He highlights unorthodox decisions, such as keeping a tenth offensive lineman, six edge rushers, and no fullback, to maximize overall roster quality. Nolan connects this strategy to the film *Would You Rather*, illustrating that actions define principles more than stated intentions.
