Red Zone Channel finally started showing the Bills after the FG. Once I was able to watch, the tides turned.

Imagine the backlash if Mayock had said anything even insinuating it was about race, let alone a racial slur. He'd never work again, and would probably have to leave the country. Why is "cracker" ok? That word doesn't affend me or anybody I know, but we all know what happens when a white person says anything regarding race in today's society.

My guess regarding Alberts' reaction, Bruce was obviously intoxicated & acting annoying when he walked in, so Trev was probably unsurprised when he passed out.

Youth Football numbers are way down from even 5 years ago. Way less kids come out each year. I live in a town of 160,000, and our football program also includes kids of a neighboring town about the same size. We have 4 teams for 8th grade, and 2 teams each for 6th & 7th. For 4th & 5th grade, they had to combine both age groups to even field 1 team. When my 8th grader started playing back in 1st grade, we had 13 in-house teams alone, only 7 years ago. Football is unique from other team sports. No other sport provides the life lessons of teamwork, camaraderie, hard work, and discipline in the same way. This will stay with the kids long after their football days are over.

Tucker knows his stuff. He was fantastic on Sirius NFL radio, my favorite analyst ever on there, though I haven't listened in years. He's extremely knowledgable & well-prepared.

Bills players with any realistic shot at All Pro this year: Hyde Poyer Edmunds White Milano Hughes Morse Dark Horse: Nsekhe Let's also note that it'd take a better than all-pro level season for any Bills player to get that recognition due to media. If we win 10-11 games, we should have at least 1.

I've coached youth football for the past 8 years. Those kids are about 6 years old, and that was a clean tackle. Hard hits are very rare at that young age due to their speed & size, but there's always a savage like that in the league who hits hard from day 1. Those type of kids can be hard to reign in & teach proper technique, or they're dangerous, but it looks like the coaches did a good job in that. When you know you're facing a kid like that on Defense, you have to be careful of who you let run the ball for safety reasons. It has to be your faster, more aggressive kids who will be able to avoid the big hit. That RB was basically a tackling dummy on that play, but still was probably ok after the hit.

Anybody know Oliver's PFF grade for the preseason?

Good list, but I think keeping McKenzie over Darryl Johnson or Bates would be a huge mistake. McKenzie is a nice piece, but a gadget player. You can't keep a guy who basically only runs the Jet 2-3x/game over a potential future starter at DE or OL, those are much harder to find.

I have an NES classic mini & found instructions online to hack it & add more games. I recently got a 2019 version of Tecmo Super Bowl on it. It's awesome playing my favorite game from my youth as Josh Allen. Oliver is a stud too.

The AFL had 8 teams, making the Pro Bowl back then was much easier than today based on # of players competing for those spots. Can't really count Pro Bowl appearances when comparing 1965 players to 2019 players.

My kids are 11 & 13, they're both NFL fanatics. They're in multiple fantasy football leagues with kids their own age who are into it. There are plenty of today's youth who will be NFL fans for life.

Hughes is a top-10 Edge Rusher in the NFL. Sure he's toward the bottom of that list, but led the league in % of snaps he pressured the QB. If we get even league average from the opposite DE spot & from Oliver, Hughes' sack #s will improve.

I really hope Bell still does the backfield hesitation crap he got away with behind Pittsburgh's elite line. Space will collapse behind the Jet's subpar line, and we'll get a lot of solid hits on him.

My 11yr old son wears a new style Thurman Thomas. It looks cooler than my Mitchell & Ness throwback Thurman jersey. The new Nike style looks great & is much lighter material, makes it easier to wear.

The one in my avatar is the only one I had.

With him being young & not being into football yet, preseason is ideal for when he inevitably wants to leave shortly after halftime. Who cares if you miss the 2nd half of preseason game 1, I'd do it. Hopefully he loves it & wants to go again for a regular season game, & stay for the whole thing.

I forgot all about LT dropping 2 INTs, that luck saved the game for us. The first one where Kelly floated a throw-away to the middle of the field was one of the worst QB decisions I've ever seen, Peterman-esque. Couldn't believe he did that.

Brady's season is just like Favre's final season. He'll be banged up & have a poor statistical year while the Pats try to become a runninng team. In Week 16, Brady gets knocked out of the game by a hit from unsung Bills LB, Vosean Joseph, making it his final NFL game.

Yep, Carl Mauck. Second-best facial expressions in NFL coaching history, behind Gruden of course.

I think it'll come down to Duke vs Sills, loser to the practice squad.

. I also have a Champion Moulds screened, Reebok 2-tone Bledsoe navy, and newer Nike Stevie & Watkins. I don't live in WNY, and wouldn't dream of ever wearing them again. Thurman throwback by Mitchell & Ness & the only one I wear anymore.

I think we all know Milano is a budding star, but 90% of fans of other teams have probably never heard of him. If he had his 2018 season for a big market team, he'd be on every "breakout player" list.
