the Jets have crashed & burned. Only thing i worry about now is getting out of this game healthy

Darnold seeing ghosts out there

Fwiw, Carbones has been in Buffalo for 40 years. From their website it said Buffalo was their 1st location here. The one in North Greece didnt open til 10 years later. https://www.carbones-pizzeria.com/about Regarding watching the games on Sunday. Plenty of people will be around come gametime. If people are unable to watch the game for whatever reason, BillsMafia will be there to help

Fair points i guess but Rex was obnoxious & his personality was all about himself. It was like he was a star of his own reality tv show. Whereas McD has class & is all about his players. Rex coached a team that felt disjointed, McD's teams play like 1 cohesive unit. And our trajection with McD is a team on the rise. The only thing rising with Rex was his weight.

Good eye man. I didn't even notice that while watching it. Detective Merle over here haha

Yeah someone in my league drafted Singletary in the 5th rd. I grabbed Moss in the 9th. Regardless i think Devin will be the main guy between the 20's & Moss factoring inside the red zone. But just like with a lot of position groups, i expect we'll see a lot of rotation. And both will have good seasons

yeah theres plenty of good free options out there for those that need them As far as planbeetv, idk about the legality around that one. It could be legal but theres not much info out there on it. When you pay money for something, you expect it to be legal (at least I do). Otherwise you can just get it all for free with just the firestick & save yourself the $12/per month. You'd have to configure it 1st & download the appropriate apps. Maybe the $12 a month is them doing that all for you? If they were licensed to broadcast those channels, you'd see some affiliations posted somewhere. Anyways it's probably not a good idea to post sites that skirt the "rules" on here. PM's are probably better for those who want to share. Don't mean to be a debbie downer, just don't want to subject this board to anything unnecessarily. (God can't believe I'm saying this) haha

Just so you know reddit doesn't share links to NFL streams anymore. They stopped this process last year. There are plenty of other sites that will link to live games, but if anyone is going to reddit for that, they're sol.

Cleveland offered him close to $20 Mill, depending on who's information you trust. But Clowney said money wasn't the only condition, term obviously was important to him, but he wanted to go to a contender. I'm not gonna believe anything about a signing until I see it confirmed.

Last offseason i was singing the same tune as you. Til other posters changed my mind a bit, as its not all about big yards & return td's. Having a guy back there that you can trust to be dependable & never cough up the rock is worth every penny & roster spot imo. Especially when you factor in how close our games are. 1 costly turnover on ST's can be the difference between winning & losing.

And now that you brought it up, if he's still here, half the board will be there too to tell ya you were wrong

Wonder if Feliciano's spot can be used for someone else if they IR him

Not all of us

i really dont know why theres such animosity around Duke. He was a long shot to make it here from the start. Didn't make the most of his opportunities but did show some skills. Josh obviously felt comfortable enough with him to target him so much. I think Isiah Hodgins & Gabriel Davis can fill that bigger bodied wr role this year. But if Duke can be kept on the PS, I wouldn't be against it.

Bills cut Vedvik on August 19th. Naturally Carolina picked him up & promptly cut him today as well

that settles that debate

I think we win of course but my biggest worry about this game is the impact of no crowd noise on the Jets offense. The NFL will be playing a tape of artificial noise in the 75-85 decibel range. Thats a big difference from where we've been recorded before, at around 125 dbs. Its gonna be a lot easier for Darnold & the Jets to communicate out there than in years past. And had this been a normal week 1 game vs the Jets, i'd expect Darnold & their Oline to crack & make a bunch of mistakes. I still think they make mistakes though & we win this one by at least 10 points.

As far as I understand it, a player claimed on waivers has to be on the active roster for only 3 weeks, before they can be moved back to the PS. So if another team wants to take a flier on a rookie QB like Fromm, they can simply make room for him for 3 weeks before moving him back to the PS, if thats what they chose to do. I think a team needing QB help for the future would be more likely to take a chance with Fromm than Webb. But of course it all depends on what our staff evaluations are on both of them.

yep, Herndon's gonna get a ton of targets this year. They'll try to get him involved early & get Darnold into a good rhythm.

I think its more likely we keep 3 & put Webb on the PS. Theres probably a greater chance that Fromm gets scooped up on waivers, given his recent draft status than Webb, who has been in this league for years & has been nothing more than a PS guy... more or less.

If anything I'm less invested in this season knowing we're keeping the train whistle. Picturing how it'll sound even louder without fans making noise to blunt its ghastliness makes me shudder at the thought. But I love our Bills. It'd be ridiculous to me hearing anyone choosing not to watch them because of that whistle, and in the whistles case you'd have more of a reason not to, since its wailing away over & over again thru out the game As an aside, It'll actually be a brand new game day experience being able to hear all the communication on the field since no fans will be there. Or perhaps it'll be just like your usual game in Miami

To some degree we're all less invested (quite literally) since none of us can pay to go to any games. But i've been waiting for this season to start as soon as that Houston game ended, & i'd think every die hard Bills fan feels the same.

If there had been a slate of preseason games this year, it'd be easier to trade some of these guys, with injuries & being able to showcase them more. Come final cut day, theres gonna be a lot of players released with limited film on. May the best GM win

Sucks to have injured his ankle so close to the start of the season. Sure we're all holding our collective breaths that he's okay. Glad Diggs wasn't hurt too.

yeah I'd like the idea if it was simply a matter of swapping him in there, like if you were playing Madden or something. If they could make it work, sure, but it'd be too difficult for him to learn a brand new position in time to make him a viable option. If we wanted help now (which i hope we do) it'd be better to just sign a legitimate TE instead, hopefully 1 without a history of injuries like Kroft. Kroft like Murphy are the 2 signings i didn't like from the start. But you win some & you lose some. If Kroft had stayed healthy we'd be singing a different tune. A GM can't hit on every acquisition. Beane has hit on more than he's missed on... I'm good with that.
