Just a thought: Maybe we should wait for Moss to play a game before crowning him the next coming of Barry Sanders?

So, they'd all just be sitting there, unblinking, and soulless, and it would look like a Pats* game. I guess just make sure they're made from a nonflammable material. If they spontaneously combusted, it'd look like a Jets game.

Imagine how embarrassing it would be if it rained really hard, they got all mushy, and sunk into the seats. It would look like a Dolphins game.

Do we really need a dozen, or so dump trucks full of trash? (Not Kay Adams, but the cardboard)

I know he's a ST staple, but I think we're going to see Siran Neal on D a lot this season.

The Jets are banged up, also. CBS Sports has their depth chart listed with all but one of the wideouts (Barrios) dealing with some injury, as well as their starting TE, Herndon. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/NYJ/new-york-jets/depth-chart/ This is going to be a weird game to watch.

Bet they start the first half of the reg season 3-5.

McKensie can probably punt.

Really speaks a lot to the culture in Buffalo.

Judging by most of the score predictions, it appears that Jets fans are assuming Gase is going to play their second string offense, and defense.

Interesting that Vegas has already released odds for week two, with the Bills favored over Miami by 3.5.

I was just referencing what Ryan Talbot had tweeted: No Kumerow and Slayton on the initial PS list. Could both be added after going through the COVID-19 onboarding process with two of the names below being released.

This is pretty much what I'm saying. But, I would think he still would have considered turning down the designation in hopes of landing somewhere down the line-- even with the Bills. If there is as much attrition as some suspect there will be, there will be regular spots on PSs in the weeks to come.

Well, the Pats* have now signed three WRs to their PS. It's weird how incomplete that team is a week from the opener.

I have to believe that as he was weighing his options, he saw remaining in the special designation, and getting a chance to play next year as his best chance of remaining in the NFL. I would think that how tenuous the entire season is, as a result of the pandemic, was also a consideration.

I would imagine that Beane/McD also told him that if he didn't accept the designation, he was done in Buffalo.

I suspect that given the abbreviated offseason, and training camps, the entire league will be seeing more injuries than usual.

I can imagine what the Packers see in Foster. With the decline of Allen's deep ball last season, he was almost a no-show on our offense. They could still see potential in him as a deep threat for Rodgers. He still has the speed. Passing Covid-19 protocols?

He was a star rugby player. He has four preseason games, and a year on the PS. He's also 29. If his dream is to play in the NFL, that window is certainly closing. By accepting the special designation, he commits to not playing in a real game for another year. I would imagine he at least considered turning down that designation.

Glad to see Trey Adams, Cox Jr., Dane Jackson, Duke Williams (yeah, I admit I'm a fan), and Zimmer on the PS. Kinda feel bad for Christian Wade, as once again, he won't be allowed a chance to play in a real game. I wonder how seriously he considered turning down the special designation?

Well, they just signed WR Devin Ross to their PS. So, that six WRs currently employed by the Pats*. Two kickers on the PS, and one punter on their 53. Will Miami beat them in the opener?

I wonder if the toxic relationship Rodgers had with McCarthy isn't viewed as a cautionary tale by LaFleur?

They also have yet to sign a WR to their PS (with ten signings) last I looked. And only five WRs on their current 53, with Edelman, and Harry as #1, and #2 respectively. 4D chess, according to their fanbase.

Nice one, Shaw-- one of my favorites. It was reported recently that the Bills will have the most continuity of any team in the league heading into the season. Considering how well they had gelled in 2019, that should really give them an enormous leg up for at least the first few weeks, if not the entire season. And, on offense at least, the two additions to the starting lineup-- Diggs, and (I assume) Daryl Williams are immediate upgrades. My only concerns are on defense. I've watched quite a few plays with AJ Klein from his last season with the Saints, and I'm not sold. Compared to Edmunds, and Milano, he just looks like a "low-motor" guy. I'm also concerned that our rotation at DT is a downgrade from last season. Having Oliver, and J. Phillips splitting reps was pretty awesome, and I wonder how much of an affect having the D-line so fresh in the fourth quarter had on our fourth quarter comebacks? I think the opt-out of Star hurts us more than people realize, also. Not that I have any concerns with Horrible Harry, but I don't have as much faith in Butler, or Jefferson as most. All that being said, I believe we have upgraded at DE with Mario Addison, and while it will take some time, I believe Epenesa is going to develop into something special.

Last season they had Neal listed as a safety, but he played nickel CB quite a bit. I wonder if it really makes much of a difference how they have him listed? Obviously, they were happy with his backup abilities at nickel and safety, and of course he was one of our best STers.
