I, for one, welcome our virtual overlords.

I would, too. But, I think there is a very slim chance they keep seven WRs.

I'm trying to get myself on track to be able to get myself ready to make a sandwich.

We should all pitch in and get him something special. Do they make Depends with the Bills logo? (you know, so he won't have to miss any plays...)

I'm going to disagree with you here. Not about the "yips," or whatever. But, about everything else. Peterman wasn't "thrown into the fire." At all. He started nine weeks into the season. He was game-planned to be the starter in that game. Nine weeks into the season, as the designated starter, there can be no excuse. And, he crapped the bed spectacularly. Allen, on the other hand, was thrown into the fire, in the first week of the regular season, after Peterman, again the designated starter, once again crapped the bed vs. the Ravens. If you want to call nine weeks into the season as the designated starter being "thrown into the fire," there's certainly no excuse a year, and two training camps into the system. If I was Gruden, I wouldn't waste my time holding this guy's hand to "take pressure off him," or "get him in slowly" three years into his NFL career.

The ball he will throw The cornerback he'll find Does he have a weak arm? Or just color blind? Peterman

These childish jokes Are heartless and cruel But the guy’s even worse Than Brian Brohm or Jeff Tuel Peterman

Actually, all you have to do is watch the second half of that game and you can see Tyrod Taylor (who ain't no Tom Brady!) lead the offense, and look like an actual NFL QB. It was night and day. Tyrod certainly wasn't great. But, Peterman absolutely crapped the bed.

Throughout training camp He’s Mr. “Can-Do” A preseason champ Wow… de ja vu… Peterman

Will this be Knox’s first touchdown?

Almost all of the above? But, my first choice would be Knox. I’d like to see Duke also, because I’m a fan of the signing, and I’d like to think he still has a chance at the roster. That may be dreaming, though... And, of course, Christian Wade. Who doesn’t want to see him? I hope he gets a few snaps early with the ones.

Los Angeles Wildcats. Finally, an LA team I can get behind.

I think Duke would fit nicely in Pittsburg.

Maybe it's just me, but I've noticed that in these preseason games, the starters (which is only for the first quarter, anyway), on both sides of the ball, and on both teams, move at about 3/4 speed. The starters are installing schemes, and working out kinks as a unit. That's why Jerry needs to be there. But, none of the starters, on either team, want to risk their season. It's after the depth players start playing that the game speeds up, and players really start hitting, and taking hits. These are guys that are fighting for a roster spot, and want to show the coaches everything they've got. I'm not sure if there is a stat for this, but I would suspect that the majority of injuries that happen in preseason games happen in the latter quarters.

I’m not sure if the well had been poisoned by not picking up Shaq’s fifth year option or not, but I see Shaq having his best year, and looking like someone who was worthy of a first round pick.

Well, we have Brown who is potentially a legit #1, and we have Beasley who is definitely a legit slot receiver. Then we have Roberts who is a legit kick/punt returner. After that we are deep in average WRs. What good does that really do us to keep so many? I keep reading about how deep we are at RB. But, in all honesty, Shady is a legitimate concern coming off his worst season, and showing less speed, and agility. Gore is 36, and Singletary is a rookie. I would be surprised if we didn't keep four RBs. And, we'll have a minimum of three TEs. Four would not surprise me there, either. Either way, seven WRs seems highly unlikely to me.

I think a lot of folks here consider it a given that there will be six WRs. I don't believe this is the case. Beane had mentioned on more than one occasion the possibility of only carrying five. I also think that we could carry four TEs, and four RBs, which would make a five WR scenario almost certain. And, at that point, I think the competition if far less settled. Brown, Beasley, Roberts, Jones, Foster would be the conventional wisdom, but I could certainly see Jones, or Foster losing out to some of the other guys fighting for a spot.

Looking at how well our O-line did, along with keeping Allen upright, and safe in the pocket (did he have to break from the pocket more than once?), they ran some absolutely textbook-perfect screens. And, not just the starters. The second string O-line ran a couple beauties, as well. Great to see them coming together, and working as a unit. I do too. That PI was heartbreaking!

Gruden just loves him At least that’s the rumor This guy grows on you Like a cancerous tumor Peterman

I keep forming these "Burma Shave" style rhymes in my head. I can't stop. Preseason was great In regular he stank So the boy cried All the way to the bank Peterman

The context of the quote was a SD player talking about how bad the O-line was playing, not how they were "abandoning their QB."

Oh, I don't know. I think arguing that the entire O-line would be willing to risk their own careers based on a defender's comment taken out of context is at least as idiotic as some racial/political connection. Hey, maybe Peterman's a Trump supporter?

I keep catching myself making up little rhymes in the style of the old Burma Shave signs. Like: I'm a big time quarterback In the NFL Here comes my pass TOUCH D - Oh hell.. PETERMAN

I'm not talking about suing him! Jesus, everyone needs to calm down...
