  1. Never read anything into the PFF scores. 

     

    I'm not saying Dawkins should have gotten a perfect 100, I get they're basically doing Olympic scoring where tiny mistakes ding the score. But zero pressures and you don't even him an 80? Idk, doesn't add up.

  2. Between Settle being banged up and knowing they kept 5 DT's on the 53 last year, I thought sure they'd keep a 5th DT.

     

    I know Rousseau and Basham to an extent can come inside at times, but they feel slim at the position now.

     

    I assume they'll try and bring a guy or two back to the PS, but it seems a hair risky with Settle not practicing much. If he was missing games, but still participating in team work, it would be one thing, but I don't think he's practiced since the first pre-season game.

    You can just argue that it's good the QB is questioning the HC so that they can work together and create the best product, but I don't think that's what's happening here.

    On Saturday, before Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray had to isolate after testing positive for COVID-19, he took a rest day from practicing. But Murray had plenty of work to do: Kliff Kingsbury made Murray the offensive playcaller.

     

    Kyler is taking vet rest days? 

     

    Okay...

     

  4. No doubt in my mind he is re-signed and stays here a long time.

     

    It'll be one of those deals that looks like we paid a ton, maybe even top 5 for TE's when he signs. In actuality, it's a fair deal for both sides that gets Knox paid well and still gives the team flexibility down the road. He's going to get better and better, fits in perfectly with the team/community, plays a key position, and appears to be very close with Allen. He's not going anywhere.

  5. Oh man, what a game to go to for your first time. The atmosphere is going to be insane.

     

     

    I find the wings at Jimmy's in VA to be amazing when they're on point. Although one time they weren't amazing it was 2am and the other time my friend asked for his to be extra crispy and I'm pretty sure they did everyone's that way because they were kinda dry. He's ruined my wings a number of times asking for extra crispy, drives me crazy.

     

    I can only imagine what Bar Bill wings are like.

     

    Great, now I'm starving.

    Levi talking about the Kelce play.

     

    "Usually he's (Poyer) near me... He was that far back, If I would have just looked back, I would have scooted him or I would have pressed."

     

    "In four years we never took communication for granted and in the 13 seconds we let ourselves down."

     

     

    Yes, I'm still pissed about that play. How the F do you just relax on that play? Right after Hill gashed you for 20 yards to get into much better position. How the F^(# are you relaxing at this time and not going over every detail???

     

     

    Is it a coincidence he wasn't re-signed? 

     

  7. Elam's ceiling is a bigger and faster Tre White. Having a great and willing leader in White is a perfect situation for Elam. 

     

    Shakir makes me think of Robert Woods with some Beasley mixed it. There's a glaring hole at slot receiver, if he can take that over, that's a huge win. They don't need him to be amazing, just get open when you have the advantage and keep teams honest.

     

    By all accounts Elam, Cook, and Shakir are all high quality guys in almost ever sense. They all work hard, have the ability, and could fill huge holes. Very exciting.

  8. I don't think I've ever been more convinced a draft pick will pan out. He might not end up at Tre's level, but I have almost no doubt that he's going to be a strong #2 at the least.

    I mean, look at this kid. I've only ever dreamt of being that cool. It's not the over the top, look at my necklace, cool/confidence. He just is.

     

    Plus he's got the athletic ability, notebooks, and work ethic to back it up. Kid is going to be good.

  9. At some point, maybe during the press conference or another interview, Von mentions that he was very anxious during the process until he signed the contract. He said it was a really tough day. He just left a great situation where they won the Super Bowl and he's on the cusp of leaving that for something mostly unknown. 

     

    Once he signed the contract his friends started talking about, "oh you're smiling again" or something like that.

     

    The way he was acting made total sense if you think about what was going on in his head the whole time.

  10. Levi deserves a lot of blame. With 7 seconds to go, he was one on one with Kelce. He bit on a quick out fake by Kelce and let him get way too far up field. Maybe he was expecting someone to come down hard, idk, but a quick out doesn't help them. The only thing on both plays that ***** helps is getting up field as fast as possible. ***** ***** *****

     

    Epic failure from everyone on that drive. 

     

    McD talks so much about situational football. I have a hard time believing they didn't practice this situation at some point and they looked like they had no idea what to do. *****&#&***#($)@(&*#@*$#)$(#*(@(*

  11. I saw the date and was like, no way that's the Tuel game. Eight freaking years ago, where does the time go?

     

     

    I watch Bills games via streaming so am ~20 seconds behind TV. I had two TV's going, one with the local game and one streaming the Bills. Right before the pick I saw TD on the other screen on the bottom bar and was like, ***** I ruined a TD (thinking the Bills scored) and then that happened. It was quite the rollercoaster of emotions. I now cover the bottom of the second TV when watching two games.

    McDermott was very resistant to the praise of Rousseau by reporters

     

    That's just McD, he never wants anyone to get too high, especially a rookie.

    In addition to his athleticism and size, Rousseau plays incredibly smart football. He displays fantastic vision, both on the edge and when he drops into short zone coverage. What a great draft pick. ... And for my fellow old-timers here, I was surprised that Joe Cribbs wasn't among the former Bills rookies who won a POW award. I can't recall a first-year Bills player with a bigger impact than Cribbs -- 12 TDs his rookie year.  

     

     

    His instincts are very impressive for a rookie, especially a DE. You could see it in college and it's fantastic to see that the NFL isn't too big or too fast for him. He got dinged by some scouts/pundits/teams for his "clean up" sacks in college, but really that was him playing smart football. He doesn't fly up field and take himself out of the plays. He goes outside shoulder and reads the QB, he's a great compliment to Hughes on the other side.. He'll never have the bend like Von Miller or Reggie White, but he doesn't need it to have a huge impact.

     

    His run D is super impressive as well. He can play any down and you aren't worried that he'll be exploited. I saw a clip from @yardsperpass where he sniffed out a screen pass and forced an incompletion. The kid is playing at a level I would have been thrilled with at this time next year. Great work by the Bills scouts and front office.

    How is she worse than any of the others that call games? They all use the same cliches and generally say nothing

     

    Exactly. These crews do college football and NFL if not other sports as well. 


    For the money that is made by the NFL, they really should have NFL only announcers that bring more to the table. Otherwise we get decent play by play, some basic info (College, former teams, etc) and not much else. 

     

  14. My only issue with Beth, and a lot of other announcers, is they don't bring a whole lot extra to the game. There isn't a ton of, "I watched some film and saw this from the defense, let's see if they can slow down the pass game with it." or whatever else, ala Romo. Granted Romo is top tier, so that's a high bar, but it would be nice if more announcers could do that. Beth and most announcers are just, this happened, that happened, good play, some excitement, but not much in depth stuff. That's probably good for a lot of fans, but for people with more knowledge of the game, they aren't adding a lot to the broadcast.

     

     

    At least she isn't either of the Sunday night guys. They are both ***** terrible. Al Michaels is like a ***** old Madden, half his comments are super vague and 2 minutes late. Collinsworth is just a knob slobber with almost no objectify. Everything is great or grand for one guy and he makes excuses for everything. He is terrible. 

     

     

    The state of NFL announcing is pretty blah.
