May I suggest we do NOT follow Matt Milano in any way, shape or form when it comes to injuries and healing?

If we had two Eds, it would still be cheaper and maybe one of them would be healthy each week.

This method doesn’t work for Jerry. We haven’t been talking about the overdue contract or Jerry and the Cowboys, all while watching the price go up and up as he basks in the attention surrounding his stupidity.

Now that is an actual thought that I appreciate. I’m glad you didn’t tell us who we could have had in the 3rd round. The drafting seems to be hit or miss. We’ve had some good drafts and some serious meh. I’m always hopeful about a draft class, but I’m more than average about the current class. If Max and Hancock can become plus starters we can get faster back there, especially if Bishop learns to play without having to think too much. We need more speed. That plus the new DL guys this year (especially Hoecht as a versatile piece) and I’m optimistic. It doesn’t hurt my feelings if the best DL comes in the 4th and not the 2nd or 3rd. It doesn’t matter WHERE you got a stud, it matters THAT you got a stud. Duds are sad, but we are far from alone there. We have a talented team and don’t have to throw guys in there before their time. There is not necessarily a chasm at all. Some of these guys are replacements for guys already on the roster. It’s personnel management that is forward looking, and I appreciate that. I wish it was better, but I doubt that will ever change. EDIT: As I said after the 40-9 win, I still have concerns about the offense and the defense. I’m worried about our defense’s ability to stop a good playoff quality offense, but I see some parts I hope will come together. And I’ll pray that Ed can come back before we are done, Willis Reed style if need be. .

This is a bit like the Yankees facing Richard Prior on the mound.

Did the TV scream back at you? Personally? (Not ESPN, they scream at everyone.) That could be an indication…..of something.

Draft hindsight is always so helpful and productive. Everybody gets to pretend they are smart. It’s right up there with proposed trades for the greatest waste of time. .

Better to be a buyer in a tough year than a seller. Nobody wants to be a seller. You’re only selling if you suck. .

It seems BTJ has something new going on between his ears. That’s what I’ve been asking about, but I still don’t get it. What’s up with this guy? What changed? I need to know that before I have any idea what I’d give up for him. Does he just need a change of scenery? Why? Or is he just another prima Dona WR?

Well, yes, some of them certainly are.

I’m not disagreeing at all, I was just trying to point out that we can be a very good football team with Josh playing pedestrian football.

I saw they list him at 310lbs, but I’ve also seen interviews with him saying his weight has had huge swings going back to college depending upon what he’s being asked to do. I bet he’s playing closer to 275lbs now the way he moves. ….and yes, that does sound interesting for a guy just coming off of suspension. Just keep playing the way you did! I remember watching him in preseason because I had no clue about him or his game, and he made me want to see more. He lived up to it!

Is that just this year? What about last year? What is going on with this guy? It’s too soon to be angry about money. What’s up with him?

But Josh is the only reason the Bills ever win anything. He is the savior, and everyone else just keeps their job because of Josh. I’ve read that repeatedly. People who swing too far one way or the other are missing the obvious stuff in the middle. Josh isn’t perfect, and the HC and GM are not as atrocious as some would lead you to believe.

I can’t ever remember leaving a 40-9 win with so much concern about both the offense and the defense, but I see some cause for hope with some fresh blood on defense. It’s great to be able to run the ball, but we didn’t throw downfield much beyond about 5 yards. Nor did it look like we could. Oh, and get well, Ed.

Seen any Wild Turkey lately?

Maybe that’s why they found him to be a bargain on the discount shelf? The Bengals probably shop for coaches using coupons.

Sybil? Is that you???

At the very least, multiple options may soften the market and reduce some leverage for the sellers. 🤷‍♂️

I can lo longer take the NFL seriously when they try to take the high ground.

You don’t play or coach in the NBA, do you?

Let us not forget the age old tradition of kicking off the NFL season from Sao Paulo, Brazil! My sister lives in Wisconsin and they regularly attend basketball games at a small college most of us have never heard of. These are young people who are truly playing for the love of the sport. It may not be the best basketball you can see, but it is pure and genuine, and that matters to me. . .

Hmmm, was his buddy a thief, or a friend who took the fall? It could be a slam dunk, hard cold fact that Ohtani did nothing wrong, but it does come to mind, doesn’t it? The more this happens, and it will continue (whether we see it or not), the more we will wonder and question our trust. .

Pete Rose wasn’t available?

These guys have already made tens of millions of dollars, if not hundreds of millions. Did they piss all that away already, or are they just so arrogant that they think they are above consequences? Either way, they have to be complete idiots. They deserve what they get, and I hope it’s a heavy price. I haven’t watched the NBA in more than a decade, and I don’t feel I’ve missed anything. The NFL is not far behind the NBA in my book.
