I wasn't sure if they would. I thought they should. Watson is a scum bag and 6 games is a terrible look. But I wasn't sure Goodell wanted this incident to be the first time he pulls this tool out of his tool box. I think they might now... Some of the criticism has been that the league protects their own and is lenient on owners. A full year suspension and losing a first is a lot.

That is my thought. Granted he didn't sign. But there seems to be "numerous" conversations between the parties spanning a couple of years. At what point is he culpable.

I don't think it was a huge over reaction. You can't touch the QB. Josh spoke to him earlier in practice that he needs to pull back. Then JP gives him a little pop after the whistle. It is not particularly egregious but it certainly disrespectful and subversive. You don't touch the QB in the red jersey in practice. Before the whistle. Touching him after the whistle is sacrilege. You become hyper protective if he is a top 5 QB. When said top 5 QB pulls you aside to tell you you need to pull back a bit. You stay away and mouth off about how you coulda gotten him if it weren't for the jersey. The fact that JP did that post whistle after Josh had already talked to him is absolutely wild to me.

I am being a bit more critical because he left the board in a bit of a huff. Not that I am taking sides. I miss the guy. But when you leave a Bills message board over content, at least get the names right. Somebody pointed out that he is probably using voice to text, which makes a ton of sense. Total oversight on my part.

Jesus Astro. At least spell the dudes name correctly. And again….

I was in Cleveland a few weeks ago and am back today. I always get comments on my Bills hat re:Watson. I don’t know if everybody feels that way. But somebody last night mentioned my hat and hating the Browns at the moment and again this AM at my appointment.

This gets parroted a lot and I don't get it. You don't need to be charged with a crime for your employer to fire or suspend you.

I’m so glad I you quoted this. OP deleted it. Easily one of the dumbest posts ever on TSW. Players staging a scuffle on the 5th day of camp is right up there with “ground up and in the freezer”, “high level business meetings”, and the guy who gambled his savings away. If only the post lasted long enough to catch fire.

I think he’s probably right. But also, it seems like Josh may have been less upset about a little shoulder pop, and more upset that it came just after the whistle. It looked bang bang. But I thought it was a touch late, especially for training camp and your QB.

As somebody who competed on stress stress fracture in my ribs until one actually outright broke, stress fractures are a couple weeks off then work back. Not a huge deal. A full on break is like 8 months to heal. At a certain point it is about pain management while it is healing. I don't think he has a full on break, and I would assume he is back practicing in relatively short order. The issue is that blood flow sucks around your ribs.

I didn't realize anybody asked....

PK looks swoon over QB1 this entire interview.

This was my guess for the alternate. But since the Giants went back to their matching 90's Bills uniform I doubt it. I am guessing Buffalo goes with the red/white with red helmet or the 90's away, white jersey/blue pants, red helmet. This Bills era have had an affinity to go all white. Maybe all white 90's throw back with the red helmet?

Feels like the league is just floating the ~8 games out there to desensitize everybody to it.

They could. But also, compared to other restructures, there isn't any incentive for Watson to do so. The whole thing is guaranteed. So why would he sign anything? A dead year or two makes the most sense.

Josh entering the 2024 season looking like DK Metcalf confirmed! Right, I am not sure how big of a deal this is. Probably not huge, but 260 is a lot of human. It is worth noting that there was an interview at the facilities last year where Josh said he was something like 7 lbs over weight at 149lbs. Or along those lines. So the staff have an idea of where they think Josh should be and it is a good amount less than 260.

There was nothing between their uniforms in the 90's either. I don't get the royal blue jersey and navy blue helmet. Pick a lane. Similar tanget. National teams should have to wear the same colors as their flags and/or their flags represent their colors. NZ wears black, no black in their flag. Italy wears blue, no blue in their flag. Australia/green, the Dutch/orange. Etc. I actually don't want all of them in red, white, and blue. I want the NZ flag to be black, Australia's to be green...Drives me bonkers.

In an interview last year he mentioned that the team wanted him in the low 240's but he was over that because wings or whatever. He looks much bigger this year. 260 feels right. Josh has said he doesn't pay any attention to his diet. I wish he would. Body maintenance is important. It is a huge part of what makes TB TB. He doesn't need to go full Brady, but if he could not go full Roethlisberger that would be great. Also, Allen is sponsored by Corona these days.

I don't think the Browns trade for him. I would have to refer to one of our capologists, but I believe his 2023 contract make him an easy cut, but difficult trade unless the 49'ers give up an additional pick to take his salary. But cutting him only costs the team $1.4M so why give up an additional pick. You would basically be giving up a pick for a $25M one year rental. I think they roll with Jacoby. ....If he plays well, you have an issue with Watson coming back after two years off and possibly being worse for nearly double the price in 2024. But if I am JG, I might run from the Browns at the moment, so maybe they would have to trade for his rights just to get him in the building?

I like my partners fit, but my hookers phat.

Oh I really liked the blue cheese. (As far as generic blue cheeses go)

The Diggs hot sauce is better than Allen's if you plan on consuming. I haven't had the BBQ but the Allen hot sauce is "meh".

I wasn't talking about total W-L. I was talking winning season v. losing season. I was also lazy and just reciting info from the last time I had this discussion which was probably around 2018 when Payton/Brees had something like 7 winning seasons 5 losing and a .500 year. They are 9-5-1, which is honestly not hugely impressive for a HC/QB Combo. Having a quality defense is part of being a HC. I understand that Bounty gate and said punishments were a thing. Participating in and/or getting busted for Bountygate is also part of being a HC.

I have a spicy take on this. Since Brees/Payton only reached one SB, and the Saints were garbage during the Payton suspension, both cannot be HOF. I will concede either one, doesn't matter to me. Brees has prolific numbers, but also, the team was trash with Brees and without Payton. But you absolutely cannot be a HOF QB/HC pairing and reach one Super Bowl AND have a .500 or worse record together. If one gets in, the other absolutely cannot.

I would like the 78 from Bruce's wall of fame. I have a bunch of coozies made from the old turf when they replaced it. I love them.
