Hope springs eternal. Meanwhile, I have some waterfront property on the slope of an Icelandic volcano for sale. Watching the quality of the play for the good teams this playoff and the even mediocre teams, the young’ens have a long way to go. But hey, hold on to your hope. I might buy in if they had a had a goalie. Last time I checked, you kinda needed one of those.

So the field trip took them to the bowels of hockey sustained ineptitude where hockey careers and dreams go to die.

I don't agree the league has figured him out. He was rolling along last year and the Ravens were in first place in the AFC (with a completely decimated RB room). Then he got sick week 10 and missed the game. A return bout of COVID was speculated but I don't think ever confirmed. He was hurt in week 13 against Cleveland, I think, and was never seen in a live game since. They tried to bring him back and video surfaced of him limping badly on the practice field. That was the effective end of his season. My speculation is that COVID walloped him twice. And then he got dinged. He very well might be in a long rehab and is still not up to snuff, hence the absence from public view.

The whole wall filled with Denver's stadium would have to go before I could even consider placing a bid.

Stories in the local papers here point the finger at LJ not the Ravens. The Ravens have reportedly tried to sign him, but it is LJ acting as his own agent and operating in his own timeline that is holding things up. The interesting part of the story for me is he has a limited supply of receivers. So missing OTA time means he is not building chemistry with the FNGs. Chemistry and timing are some of the key outcomes of OTAs.

Turn it in to a dodgeball match.

I've stopped listening to McDemott press conferences. I learn more from reading milk cartons that I learn from him. He has mastered the art of talking for 10 minutes and saying nothing for 10 minutes.

I actually caught part of the show, quite accidentally. I found their analysis was thorough for every team I heard. They didn't just ole the Texans because, well they're the Texans. Their stats struck me as uniform and detailed. My belief was it took Dion nearly the whole season to return to form after covid. We quickly forget that he was hospitalized and in serious condition for a while there. When he did finally regain his footing, weight and stamina, things got better for the whole offense. Moving Williams to guard was a curious move when it was made. After all, he was the hero of the season before. But it seemed to work. And now he is gone. We hardly knew ya. Brown was a turnstile at tackle and got routinely beat. If the line is moving forward this year, the RT spot must be improved upon. Whether Brown is the answer or not will be interesting to see. Saffold was hurt quite a bit last season for Tennessee. I thought it was a curious signing given that. If he can hold down a guard spot, that might solve one of the guard positions. Not sure what to make of the other guard spot. Lots of camp bodies in there for that spot. Is it Boettger, Bates, Q, The irreparable Cody Ford, other? Morse survived last year relatively ding free. Still makes me nervous about his concussion history. Especially being in the middle where the big boys play. With the recently benched, bitter and butt-hurt Feliciano departure, seems like the cupboard is thin in the middle.

Clearly its the Rams and Chiefs

I think the whole OBJ saga paints a completely different picture. Same with Landry too. There had to be locker room issues for the team to walk away from him. Guys couldn't wait to get out of the mistake by the lake. While we always talk about toxic locker rooms with out proof, and I am again here, I strongly suspect that this was the case. For the organization to dump their #1 pick, go after a replacement QB with all the negative baggage in the world, accept they would be pilloried by their fellow owners and fan base, and do it anyway, says to me that Baker walked and talked his way out of the franchise. They were past done with him.

Usually the penultimate act before the NFL announces (ultimate act) his future game availability.

Punt god has a computer science, economics and stats degree. Color me more than impressed. The Bills definitely have a type when it comes to players. They not only draft athletes but they draft articulate young men. Everyone that appears in front of a microphone seems to be thoughtful, driven, articulate and oozes character.

Benford looks small next to Elam.

meh.. she's on the payroll...

A couple of reactions: 1. The CBA makes this a bit of a cookie cutter process 2. Our early picks were late round picks making their holdouts less likely 3. Bills don't draft divas 4. These guys probably know they are potentially playing in a SB early in their career 5. Reputation of organization, team mates and fans But yeah I agree. I don't think I can remember a team having their entire team sign two weeks after the draft.

Mid way up, upper deck, closest to midfield you can afford. Cheapest seats are upper deck on the ends and tend to be infested with opposing fans. Night game doesn't matter which side. A day game in September you don't want to be on Sun side. A day game afterwards you always want to be on the Sun side.

If true, this would be most acceptable. Things I like: 1. Get LA game out of the way early. And only long road trip of season, 2. Nice time to be playing in Miami avoiding early season steam bath 3. Get @NE done early season. 4. Love facing Miami in Buffalo to end their season hopes. 5. Mid season bye with @NYJ coming out of bye Things I don't like: 1. GB, @KC, @BAL is a gauntlet 2. CLE week 11 all but assures Buffalo sees Watson

Kind of like listening to the elementary school orchestra play... You just have smile your way through it.

So much for Bills v Ravens on Thanksgiving. Personally happy if true since we would be heading to Buffalo for the weekend. I would enjoy watching the Patriots get pasted on SNF after the Bills beat the Lions.

Bills at LA and then a mini bye for Titans v Bills would be ideal I think. Get that long roadie out of the way and then have a nice September night game to launch the home schedule.

I think I would rather play in the dome on Thanksgiving than a night game in Baltimore. Lions are 37-42-2 on Thanksgiving.

It's relatively safe.. Relative to the east side and west side issues. Baltimore is a very dangerous city at night. Day time is fine. Use my rule, don't venture down any street that has no cars on it. We go in the city a lot. Never ever let your guard down. Also be aware that Baltimore folks jaywalk all the time. Watch for people between cars just walking into the road. It's crazy..

There would be no greater cathartic moment in Buffalo Bills history than to rout Tom in the last game of his career, on national television, with a world-wide audience. Football gods. Make it so...

I like the idea of putting Josh there as a decoy. Do it when you want them to burn a timeout. 10 times out of 10 if done sparingly, the defense would call a timeout. And then have him jog off the field laughing.
