I get it, and in some ways, tempered like you. Preseason has seen a number of one sided beatdowns, and ours came against two bad teams. I'm so curious to see how we look in the regular season - obviously we are justifiably thinking about ourselves as contenders, but in terms of individual player development.

That would not result in a suspension in the regular season. You can see Smith bending his head away from Fields' helmet, yet it's not enough and he makes helmet to facemask contact. According to modern rules he was appropriately flagged for it, but that would not get a suspension. Also, I don't know if I've seen a helmet that loose since...who was it? McNabb?

I'm not advocating for it, and wouldn't have guessed it before the off-season, but I don't think he's a "lock." I still think he'll make the 53, but I'm less certain than a month ago.

I don't think he has those, with or without the environment. That said he looks good in early action and there's no reason to believe he doesn't have a high ceiling.

Butler only makes it if Phillips is IR'd, imo. (To be fair you point out such a scenario).

Just praying Brown and Phillips have mild injuries. From what I saw of Brown on the sidelines and the initial designation of Phillips as "questionable" to return, I'm holding out hope.

I'm in favor of trading Addison. I don't think we lose much if any production, and we get to hang on to future potential, as well.

Sounds like we had a couple offensive tackles and a DT tweak their knees.

Early signs are definitely positive for Wilson in New Jersey. Hate it.

Curious about his trade value.

I had also heard Brown was injured, and I thought it was a knee but I'm not positive.

Boogie almost looks like he'd make a more immediate impact at 3 tech DT. Knee injury I believe.

Phillips was originally listed as questionable to return after his knee injury, and was eventually declared out. Hopefully the initial designation means his injury is not long-term. Fingers crossed

What's the injury list? Phillips, Stevenson, Brown?

Nice hit Andre. Screw the refs.

Woohoo Zimmer!

🤬

What happened to Phillips?

Pray for a stinger.

I admittedly haven't focused on Hollister's blocking ability. Has anyone else? If he's capable he might legitimately be pushing Knox by simply being a reliable pass catcher.

And especially no high-end TEs.

I actually disagree. I think this narrative that Bills fans who were "wrong joshers" were actively rooting against Allen and wouldn't let go of their pre-draft guesses is overblown. How it got to be taken as gospel I don't know. Probably something about our general inferiority complex as a fan base. During that offseason I had times where I wanted the Bills to draft each of the top 4 prospects (I didn't want Lamar and I thought Rudolph would turn into what he has). By the time the draft rolled around I was in "play it safe" mode and wanted Rosen at that spot. I got over it very quickly because I'm a Bills fan and happily admitted my error in short order. I think this experience is pretty typical from what I've experienced on this board.

One of my least favorite parts of modern life. It's an unquestionably normative behavior for gen z, at a minimum.

Fascinating Dawkins presser.

But of course. I'm only saying I would have preferred tripping over his own shoelaces and some ghastly interceptions. It was clear on a number of throws he was locked onto predetermined targets.
