Captain Caveman

If this weren't such a Mickey Mouse organization they would have settled this by arm wrestling to the death.

JW, I'm assuming if you had more info on this it would have already been printed (or else there's a reason it hasn't been printed) but do you think this was likely tied to the backup QB situation? Seems like Marrone would have had a right to be pissed that they wasted everyone's time bringing in Palmer as opposed to giving Orton whatever he wanted a week earlier.

There's also this:

If you read the article, it sounds like it was an argument from practice, not inside offices.

One of us is misreading the article. I'm pretty sure it's you. He's saying it was not in a back room, but "within the vicinity of players at practice."

I would cook some Sahlens over that.

Why do you think it is not the same argument? Seems to me this was also on the practice field in front of players.

Bickering Bills.

FJ run for 4 yards. Is there a tiebreaker?

Football Football-o Oh I love some Football-o Ready for wings now

I am 100% behind this thread if it means that any new threads about how stupid we were for not drafting russell wilson / tim tebow / blake bortles / johnny manziel / etc.... get moved here. Please? Can those threads be funneled here, and this will be the thread we come to when we're in the dark place?

I imagine he'd be singing this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtW8RkI3-c4 The fish would be singing this, not Les Claypool. Although...

Can we turn Johnny Dumb Bass into a singing fish kinda deal? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WC6EbRQmJ0

Johnny Five Alive?

What I wrote was from the NFL Network at around 2:40 this afternoon (EST)

Yeah, I just went back and watched it, he didn't say any of this, and barely anything about the BIlls at all. on a Schwartz led defense: really good d line, minimal extra pressure but difficult to stop, expecting different looks, will not be easy on first game: excitement for home opener, but need to treat it like any other game i didn't hear him say anything negative about the Bills

Maybe he just decided to fly cross country to get a meal at Lance Briggs' new restaurant.

I always think of them as more of the under the bridge type of troll

Tom Brady missed practice today, no reason given.

I really can't wait to yell FUMBLE at the top of my aching lungs

I thought he's advocating for using former QBs at all skill positions a la Michael Robinson.

Assuming he his healthy enough to play. http://bills.buffalonews.com/2014/09/03/lee-smith-bill-practicing-today/

No that's people with small feet.

Yeah, it not happening often is why I'm guessing Trestman didn't ask. He probably figured that Briggs wouldn't ask unless it was really important. I'm guessing he regrets his decision now, but even if he'd asked, is it worth pissing off Briggs to say no? Briggs has a history of being a malcontent, and that team needs some leadership on defense this year.

The timing is definitely bad, but I can understand a coach not asking a team captain why he needs a personal day.
