I was joking about this in another thread. But, I suppose if other teams are allowed to have fans present, we should be allowed to startle the crap out of them with a train horn.

NOW is anybody missing preseason games???

OMG, that thread almost deserves its own thread on TBD.

Maybe, maybe not... but maybe...

Seriously. F cats. EDIT: Oh, wait... maybe that wasn't your point...?

Edelman really is an ass. Someone with some better photoshop skills than me needs to retool this image to Cam dressed as Batman, and Jules dressed as Robin in the old 60's Adam West style.

Sure. But, let's not forget how badly McD managed the start of Allen's career. Although, McD, and Beane did pull it together the following season. The Jets seem to have Darnold on a downward trajectory.

It reminds me of an Onion headline I read once: "23 Hour Suicide Watch a Failure."

Sure would be a cool story if he did.

I'm not sure if this applies to this thread, or not, but Moss has been compared to Barry Sanders on this site, and from one comment made by Diggs, Hodgins is utterly NFL-ready. Maybe more to the point of this thread, I'll bet that if this were a normal year, Dane Jackson would be turning heads, and might be this year's David Sills.

My guess is he's a troll from New Jersey.

I had no idea. I used to have DirectTV, became disgusted with their customer service, took the dish down, and chucked it into my recycling. Did not have any problem signing up for it on Roku.

And Cam Newton.

Well, I used to have DirectTV, and then git rid of it. And now I have Roku, and get the Sunday Ticket on that.

I'm not really sure (my wife writes all the checks), but I believe it's the same price as it is on DirectTV. Not cheap, but reliable. I think there are also different options available.

I get the NFL Season Ticket on Roku.

I agree with this in theory, although I don't think they need to be all that "adamant." I think they're confident Ford will continue to develop. I also think Ford grew comfortable in his role as last season progressed. And, if Ford is a better G than T, the same might be said for Williams. I also suspect that the acquisitions for such a deep O-line unit may have more to do with the possibility for attrition due to Covid-19. Offensive, and defensive linemen are certainly the highest risk players on the team as they are in close, face-to-face contact with opposing players, and many of them are technically obese. I would not be surprised if, in practice, they were moving players around the line a lot for this reason. But, I still think, at least for the start of the season, they are going to place a higher value on continuity than they would for other, more typical seasons.

I haven't gone through this entire thread, but I think I may be the only one on this board that thinks Ford is going to stay at RT, and Williams will play RG.

I just wrote in my blog that every team in the league is going to go 0-0-16, a 32-way tie, and instead of the Lombardi Trophy, they're going to hand out participation ribbons. It's in my blog, so it's probably true.

It would be AI bots programmed to mimic Bills fans. Might even see a virtual ***** during the Pats* game.

Sure. But, the train horn going off in an empty stadium, and watching the opposing team jump out of their cleats would provide the country with an epic moment of comedy. It would be healing.

c'mon, now. That's like saying you don't care who the color commentator is. Would you really not care if you had to listen to Joe Theisman rather than Tony Romo?

Disagree with you on both counts. As @NoHuddleKelly12 said, having no crowd noise, and focusing on what's happening on the field, and sidelines would be both entertaining, and educational. I think we'd all come away having a greater understanding of football. And, having the train horn without crowds would be hilarious.

Low-hanging fruit.

I will be disappointed if this happens. I know teams often pump in crowd noise during practices to more closely replicate the game-day experience. But, this seems more like a creative decision on the part of NFL producers. Personally, I'm much more in favor of hearing more of what's happening on the field. Sans crowd noise, the logical creative decision for the directors, regarding the soundtrack, would be to play up all the hits, and banter on the field. Screw the canned crowd noise. Get a dozen more shotgun microphones, and a sound mixer who understands football.
