Quoting myself here. But I should add, not just from a location perspective, but a security and legal perspective, anytime you are torrenting or using an unapproved feed for anything you should most certainly be using a VPN. A VPN will help protect any private information you are either sharing, transmitting or storing on your computer AND it will keep your ISP and/or authorities away (however unlikely).

I always think it is weird that so many marginal players end up in SoCal like Barkley. I mean he is from there. Went to college there. His wife the same. So this one makes more sense. Also it is a great place to live. But also, the guys income will be pretty severely depleted from here on out. Median home cost is like $2M plus. it seems like an expensive place for a guy with a family and not much income moving forward. I don't know. I am 34 and my student loans won't go away, so maybe I am jaded. Haha.

Barkley has made ~$12M over his career. He can afford something nice anywhere.

Changing your location on Google works for local broadcasts. I have a ExpressVPN as well. Some apps are getting smart to that though and won’t work right if you’re running it, which I find VERY annoying just from a general security and privacy perspective. The “danger” of “sketchy” feeds above is way overblown. You don’t need a special computer or to go to Starbucks. A VPN will do you just fine. Scoping out some of the more “reputable” feeds is worth while though. If you can find soccer, tennis, cricket, F1, etc. to test them out before kick off, it relieves a lot of frustration. Back before there was a streaming option and I lived in OKC I used to have a good rolodex of sources that were quality. I can try and dig them up and PM you. Reddit is always a good source for sites are that regularly streaming in HD. I coached for a while so one of my former athletes are in med school so they help me out with DTV.

Maybe at 26 years old Webb wants to actually keep playing football and not coach. Wild, I know. I think he looked like a better than competent QB3 this year in P3. (As far as 3rd stringers go) He’s also athletic enough to be a good role player on the PS prepping for more mobile QB’s. I would suspect as injuries come down, other players get cut, etc. that we don’t finish the year with 2 PS QB’s. At the very least only one of those guys will probably be on the Bills roster/PS in 2022z

I agree to an extent. But I’d add there are different levels. At least more than Tyreek and everybody else. It seems like Brown doesn’t have a ton of juice left in the tank. We do have a bunch of guys in the mid to low 4.4 range. So I don’t think speed is an issue. If I had to guess, Stevenson will fit the JB mold as he progresses and/or gets healthy. Very similar size and speedy. McKenzie is a tough sub because he’s so short. Gabe Davis is a quality receiver, but too slow to put in the “take the top off the defense” bucket in the mid 4.5’s compared to JB’s mid 4.3’s at the combine. Bills are fine with speed, hands, and route running over all. I’d like to see them add a dynamic guy or two with some more size to play on the outside next year.

This is my thought as well. As posted earlier, I do think Kumerow is the one who beat out Hollister as a receiving threat. McD just does not want to make that public before the start of the season. We have not seen anything good or bad from Sweeney it feels. I think he would have cleared waivers and made it to the PS without issue. In that scenario why not keep Knox, Hollister, and Gilliam with Sweeney on the PS? I do think Quinton Morris is an interesting TE PS prospect.

2 things. 1. The Jets have been dysfunctional. As far as I am considered, they still are until they prove they aren't. I am not sure that is a great spot. 2. I actually liked Kroft. I thought he did well in his spot duty. Was he great? No. But he was a reliable target when given the chance. Sort of like a Scott Chandler.

This is my guess. I don't know the TE situation around the league, but I would assume that there are few better places to get the opportunity to shine outside of Buffalo right now. I don't see how being TE 2 or 3 for a team like the Raiders is a better fit for him in the long term.

Dude I am not turning this into a Hollister vs. the World thread. My point was that McD bringing up Knox in regards to people asking about Hollister seems disingenuous. I think most people can wrap their head around the fact that Knox is the starter and this staff is committed to him as a player at the moment. I think what people are questioning is the fact that he didn't make the roster at all despite having a good preseason, some prior NFL production, and familiarity with our starting QB, on a team needing more production from the TE position that keeps dragging on a year long rumor about Zach Ertz. Which is fair. I am saying Kumerow beat him out for that role, bringing Knox into the conversation by McD just creates a conversation that isn't relevant to why Hollister is not on the roster. Go crusade against Kumerow or for Sweeney/Knox in the other 5 threads about the issue.

Am I the only one who does not get the hype. I was at lunch the other day, and the bartender was talking about how he looked like Brady....WHAT? I think he has a good arm and is an accurate passer, but he seems to stare down receivers for eternity. Unless he fixes that, I just see him getting worked by starting defenses who are game planning against him. The Phins defense was solid last year. Unless they get a little surprised because he is a rook, and play on their heels a bit, I suspect 2 picks from Jones.

So I don't think he is addressing the issue some are scratching their heads about re: the tight end room. Knox is the starter, OK. But what has Sweeney shown to keep him and not Hollister? This sort of feels like not bringing in a quality vet to challenge your young QB so that you can show faith in him. Except you don't put two QB's on the field at the same time. I have had a suspicion that Hollister didn't lose his job to Sweeney, he lost it to Kumerow. If they want two receiving TE's on the field, I suspect the staff thinks Kumerow can fill that role. They are the same height, Hollister has 30 lbs, but Kumerow is quicker. I suspect Kumerow is a better ST player as well. They view Kumerow as a better big bodied receiving threat and provides more utility at ST.

I thought Kroft was a nice option. A steady hand if you will. He stepped in well when Knox went down. Could he be replaced? Sure. The TE room is weird at the moment. Optics can be as important as results. We don’t know how much input has in offensive personnel. He may whine like Rogers behind closed doors or you might be right. But the way guys like Rogers have handled their situations is bad at every level.

I am just busting balls. You didn’t break any etiquette. No worries. Keep doing you.

Found a keeper guys! But seriously, I can get behind the City of Buffalo Flag design once in a blue moon. https://www.trainwrecksports.com/5-concept-helmets-the-buffalo-bills-need-to-wear/

I like that you responded to somebody. Then quoted that response in the same post, responding to yourself. Your life seems fun.

Like going deep with a playoff game on the line kinda interesting?

Yeah, it seems like OP is the real driver of this thread otherwise it would have petered out. A lot of "well what would you like to see?" or "what designs do you like?". I wouldn't be shocked if OP is actually Dylan Young, the original designer , or if he works for TSE. Regardless, this thing is a swing and a miss. The Bills currently have one of the best uniforms in the league, helmet included. I like the white way more than the red and I have since day one. Blue could work, but not this one.

Wait, we cut Reid Ferguson? His back must not be doing well at all. Time for AJE to shine!

His Chicago contract was only about $1M. Doubt we even need to go that high for a one year deal.

I am curious of Desmond Trufant still. It has been quietly nagging at me all day. I don't know how much he has left in the tank, but he is at least "young enough" to help fill out our depth better than Norman or Vontae did. Not sure he would upset Levi, but we have depth issues as a whole. I would kick the tires and see what it would cost.

If I had to guess, Bojo came in high, the Bills declined, and found another solution while Bojo tested the market. He overvalued himself and lost out. It happens sometimes. I think if CB came to Beane at $1M he would be a Bill right now. I was a Bojo fan, I felt he took some time to reign in himself in in the NFL, but he was a good punter for us last year.

The Bills have had a tough time selling out late season and or bad weather games even when they were good. We just forget because of the black out rules. 60k is probably a projection on historical capacity for the Ralph in inclement weather and what they anticipate ticket value being with lesser supply during the early parts of the season. I dislike it as a fan but probably a good business decision.

Lets get one thing out of the way, Beasley is a better WR at this stage of his career than Cam is a QB. BUT...they have very similar cap hits if they were to be cut. Maybe don't be shocked if Beasley is cut given McKenzies new vaccination and Stevenson in pre-season? (although I would not put money on it)

Yeah, that is my thought. For those saying "YuO cAn'T bE cUt FoR nOt BeInG vAcCiNaTed". Cam may not have been good last year, but he is better than Hoyer and Stidham, They are rolling with a rookie and Brian Hoyer to start the season.
