Will we see Trubisky playing for a half, and White playing for a half. Or will it be one of them for the whole game?

Remember Daboll publicly reaming Tyrod Taylor when the Giants visited here. I remember him doing that to Allen. That Allen improved when Daboll moved to the booth is no coincidence.

Wow, that is the Mother Lode of draft picks. I'm looking forward to the draft. Every GM has their Kaiir Elam moment. In my opinion, looking at the total record, Beane is a Top-10 drafter.

Some Patriots fans/media are suggesting that they tank and lose Sunday. Maybe their second string against our second string, that would barely be NFL football. It would be like a preseason game. I'd recommend against the tank. Tanking lets a funk into the locker room that is hard to get rid of, e.g. the Sabres.

When Gore Jr. does his Shavers imitation and runs it in for a touchdown, it will be even more fun.

It's been years since I made out. Thanks for the memory jogger...making out is now on Boater's list of things to do in 2025. Oh.... TMI, TMI.

Does anyone feel there is an organized hype-machine pushing Lamar Jackson as MVP? A systematic propaganda campaign? It started after the Houston game. My FB feed and Twitter are bombarded with content comparing Allen and Jackson, and declaring Jackson the winner. It's like the NFL-Media establishment wants Jackson and are lobbying for him. Unless Josh does something spectacular the next two games--it will be Jackson.

Years ago, I read that the Bengals front office was a skeleton crew, Brown was very cheap in that department. The article insinuated that they took things like Mel Kiper's reports seriously as a tool in their drafting process. Maybe even PFF. Anyway.. it's just what I read years ago. That may not be true today.

Also, Rocky's truck was cool. I couldn't find a better picture:

Life tip: be more positive with your children. (if you have any)

Mack Hollins makes me chuckle. Something about him... He also seems to make 1 big play a game. I wonder what it will be this week.

D stands for done. It counts toward the degree, though you can't survive too many of them. I got one in Corporate Finance.

In a online class.... I had one rip my writing apart. But what made it different was he got personal in the attack. Red Flags went up... luckily it was during the Drop/Add period and I dropped him like a hot rock. He sent me a scathing email after I dropped. In hindsight, his behavior was totally psychotic and I should have reported him. At a well known university... I took a graduate level class on how to conduct surveys. I had high hopes for it. All the adjunct professor talked about was LGBT. She covered very little of the material. She deliberately skipped the mandatory professor feedback survey at the end of the semester. I wrote to the Dean since she didn't do the feedback survey and gave him my opinion. The professor quietly disappeared.

I see lots of memes comparing statistics of Allen and Jackson. They are off the mark. That is not the criteria of the MVP award. The criteria is what player is "most valuable" to their team. Allen took the no-name roster of the Bills to 12-3, he elevated people around him. Jackson took a stout Ravens roster to 10-5 (before yesterday's game). Tyrod Taylor would look good in Baltimore. Allen is more to Bills, than Jackson is to Ravens.

I can't believe he will be an FA already, I remember the day he was drafted. They grow up so fast. I'd give him a two year contract, but he will find better on the open market. He's as good as gone.

Vanilla is OK with me. Keep those cards close to the chest and not let opponents see what we'll do in the playoffs.

Maye is pretty good, he has great potential. No one tell him about how Jordan Palmer transformed Josh Alllen. Shush.

When Damar Hamlin is a starter, you know you're scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Babich is a Grade B coordinator with a Grade B roster, and it shows. The D would probably rank #16 of the 32 teams. The smashing success of Allen obscures the fact that the Bills are rebuilding this year, rebuilding the D at least.

I'm questioning my memory, did he even play last night (New England)? The box score has nothing on him, it doesn't even list him. I thought he played but I can't remember him doing anything. FWIW.. he got 3 tackles the prior week against Detroit.

Nice guys. Good choices by Pegula. I expect nada impact from them football wise (as it should be), but at least Pegula didn't bring any jerks into the fold. Pegula: I try to get not too high, and not too low. Good for him. That's why McDermott hasn't been fired--Pegula doesn't succumb to lows. Pegula's office looked chintzy for a billionaire. Saving money for the important stuff--I guess that's how you get rich.

It's not a bad omen, it's a good omen. It didn't hit their house

Thoughtful, intelligent, and nice.... I agree. There are some posters here who downplay those qualities, they are cynical about them. They come out during the draft "Oh great, another team Captain" or "Another process pick." They are on the wrong side of history.

Poor Cooper. I'd like him to produce on the field commensurate with his contract, but it is what it is. Maybe his presence allows other receivers to elevate their game. Maybe. The passing game has been lit when he plays.

Dome or No Dome, it is a moot point now. People act as if a dome was a real option. It was never on the table, people weren't willing to spend the extra billion. We're lucky we got what we did.
