I’d note that the depth chart is unofficial. Not saying it isn’t accurate, but it’s not from someone who would have access to the team’s official depth chart.

I saw a study on on-line dating. They found that people who do not hide their perceived flaws on their dating profile ultimately are more successful. The conclusion was that if people see those flaws up front and they aren’t dealbreakers, then the relationship has a chance. Hiding flaws only expands your dating pool by adding people that will reject you when they see them. Plus there’s the possibility of looking dishonest. Seems to make sense.

Are you on Team Jake or Team Duke?

Totally agree. One win against a team that finished with a winning record. That was the 9-7 Titans while Mariota was still the QB. The 8-8 Cowboys was the best win (and it was impressive). Partial credit for win against the Duck led 8-8 Steelers.

Health will be a big factor. The Bills were pretty lucky in that regard last season. Let’s see if it holds this year.

32 year old KR André Roberts, end of bench WR Robert Foster and depth DT Vince Taylor might be the most notable. Devastating to be sure.

That is correct. All 53 active, all PS and all IRed players count as of 4 pm today.

That rule really hurts guys like Smith.

If Rosen has any potential at all I expect him to be a Steeler or Patriot before week 2 of the season. If not, then close the book on him.

Or he’ll find his way to the booth and we’ll get to watch him all the time

I can only sit here and imagine him having the game of his life against us.

Thank you for all you do here!

Gunner said it well here. It was not a slight toward Tyrod and I’m not sure how anyone took it that way.

Marshawn Lynch. It would either be hilarious and I’d have the best time of my life, I’d wind up in jail or it’d be a nothingburger.

Some weren’t even good enough to be bridge QBs.

You don’t think that NFL broadcasting contracts actually require that games be played? I do not think that I’m going out on a limb when I say that there’s a clause to that effect. Also do you think that networks pay up front for all of the games in a season? No games, no payment to the NFL from DirectTV. They’d have no reason not to provide a refund to customers (less a modest transaction fee maybe).

Really? I’m pretty sure he’s figured it out by now.

I’m guessing that people who paid for NFL Sunday Ticket would get a full or pro-rated refund probably without a lawsuit.

Guess it depends on Singletary’s health and how Moss comes along. I’d think that the rookie would have to earn his playing time. That said, if Moss shows well then I can see him taking touches away from Singletary. Devin is a very good, tough runner, but I don’t love what he brings to the passing game or pass pro. That leaves the door open for Moss.

That’s Taylor’s niche. He’s a modestly compensated (by NFL standards), bridge QB. I tip my hat to him for making a fine living by doing that. The only issue with him here was that most Bills fans convinced themselves that he was more than that when the team ignored the need at QB and kept trotting him out as the starter. Then they got pissy when he didn’t live up to that hype.

My argument is much more about the RB position and specifically RBs who aren’t big receiving threats. Financially the big premium paid for RBs like Mixon just isn’t close to worth it IMO. Teams would be better served spending that money elsewhere.

I am almost never a fan of paying RBs. Mixon is a good back, but I’m with you on this. I don’t see him as close to the 5th (total contract value) or 6th (AAV) best back in the league though. Bengals gotta Bengal I guess.

Truth. If there are also NFL games on Saturday my NFL consumption will actually increase. It’s really the only sport I watch and there won’t be any/as much college to watch.

That’s correct. The Jags have little chance to win though. Their claim is that his one game suspension from his fight with Shaq Lawson voided the guarantees in his contract. That isn’t likely to fly. Notably when Fournette won a previous grievance stemming from a fine by the Jags the NFL offices noted that over 25% of league grievances were filed against the Jags. They don’t have a good track record there.

That’s gotta hurt (the Jags). Fully guaranteed contract and no offset language so the Jags cut him, but still have to pay him his $4.1M salary AND he gets to double dip with a new contract with a team that isn’t the Jags. Really couldn’t have worked out much better for Fournette.
