  1. Got skrewball one time on vacation while looking for something new to try. I didn't realize it was peanut butter flavor until the guy at the register said he really likes the stuff and it's even better mixed with some other liquor to make PBJ shots. At that point I didn't want to be a dick and say peanut butter flavored whiskey sounds ***** terrible, so I got it. 

     

    I should have been a dick, stuff is not for me.

    So I'm curious: since the vaccine doesn't prevent infection and just reduces symptoms/makes it harder to contract, and since vaccinated players face fewer restrictions than unvaccinated players, AND since the NFL has stated that if an unvaccinated player causes an outbreak, it will cause his team to forfeit because the league isn't adding an extra week...what happens if a vaccinated player causes an outbreak? Seems like this could be an actual concern.

     

     

    Definitely a concern. I saw somewhere that the NFL was going to reevaluate how often they were going to test vaccinated players, it was once a week. They should probably just test everyone everyday to make it even and be extra cautious.

  3. You're privy to the conversations, or lack there of, that Star and the bills have had this off-season? 

     

    You're also familiar with Star's current physical condition? 

     

     

    Diggs skipped the first Ota and apparently was up until 3am on twitch, better cut him too.

  4. Five pages and not a single mention of the article a month ago about him working on his speed and quickness?

     has completely dominated the offseason,” Hicks says. “He’s so much faster, so much more explosive. He’s got all the shakes. He’s got all the agilities. He’s got all of the jukes. But he didn’t have the burst. He was lacking that.”

    Not anymore.

    Four days a week, two hours a day at PER4ORM, they hit the lab. On Mondays, they’ll drive the sled to feed explosion. Throughout the week, Singletary masters every type of cut imaginable: the sweep cut, jump cut, skinny cut and hesi-burst. The emphasis, always, is to get north and south so every drill is timed. On Thursdays, they’ll fine-tune “back-end speed.” That is, Hicks taught Singletary how to run because, frankly, Hicks says Singletary never was before. His mechanics were shot.

    If he's adding burst and strength, only poor blocking should hold him back. I think the RB room has a lot of potential, but it's hard to ignore the poor production last year.

  5. Awesome breakdown. Those guys do great work.

     

    You can see that there is a lot more (obviously) to the narrative that he had a bunch of coverage sacks. When I first heard that, I thought of a guy that maybe lucked into a number of sacks, but the breakdown shows he's got good awareness and he's doing a lot more than just picking up coverage/effort sacks. For arguments sake, you can label them that, but I think there's a lot more to what he's doing than just giving effort. He's doing a good job of playing the run, reading the QB's movement,  and overall doing his 1/11th, which you know this staff preaches.

     

     

    I wonder how much they talked to him about his poor pro day. How much was he training for those drills versus working on actual football drills? I remember one of the Embedded episodes, they showed Beane hoping Gabe Davis would run a slow 40 so his draft stock would drop, I wonder if they secretly hoped something similar would happen with Greg. He did have the number one 10 yard split of the draft class and on the team, so he's got burst.

  6. Not a full game, but I had the Jeff tuel int TD ruined by the scrolling bar. I stream so am a little bit behind during games. I usually have a smaller TV showing red zone or another game. I usually pause the second TV for a minute so it's not behind, but sometimes I flip around and don't do that.

     

    Bills were at the door step, I glance at the other TV, see TD, we'll that's disappointing but sweet, then chiefs TD, wtf... Oh mother f&$#. 

     

    Was quite the range of emotions. I use a cardboard box to cover the bottom part of the TV now.

    I saw the stat about their red zone efficiency earlier and it was about scoring, not TDs. 

     

    Just looked up their efficiency for TDs only. 

     

    71%  home

    47% away

     

    The away number is pretty bad. 

     

    https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/red-zone-scoring-pct

     

    Below average on the year and not much better the last 3.

     

    I think they'll get some yards but I don't think they'll score enough to keep up. 

     

  8. I didn't think I could be more amped about this weekend, but here we are. I can't think about work, I don't care about what I'm eating for dinner, I don't want to do anything besides read, listen, and watch Bills football until Saturday. Usually the end of the year is depressing, even if the playoffs are in the future, there's no way they could scrap together four wins. I know how it's going to end even if I don't know exactly how.

     

    This year though... I don't know. 

     

     

    Regardless of how it plays out, I freaking love this team.

    Come on... I am impressed too.  So raw at first. Running around,  etc... You Gotta admit.  Someone worked on his mechanics!

    20201209_160809.thumb.jpg.f606eb7cb8633e7079f5b25cb5b7ebb1.jpg

    That's the throw he threaded the needle with the outstretched hands of the SF back reaching in vain for the well-placed dart!

    Oops.  I hope that's the proper take.  I thought they were replying to the OP.  Not the list. ???

     

     

    The work he's done to improve his mechanics has been pretty amazing to watch. Last year he was better, but it didn't quite seem like the muscle memory was totally there yet and he'd get a little bit sloppy when things weren't perfect. This year, even in dirty pockets and with guys in his face, he's got much better mechanics. Even if it doesn't look like they're great, he's keeping his left arm closer to keep his body from flying open and he's keeping his shoulders square to the throw. 

     

    Awesome pic by the way.
