A post I can get behind. It's about injury luck and depth on the bench. I would add game day coaching decisions as well.

Yep. 93 days. I made a spreadsheet with some date math to keep track. ..I'm OCD regarding this upcoming season.

I remember from TV coverage last season: they flashed Knox on the sidelines warming up by juggling balls in the air while someone threw him additional balls. He caught them and kept juggling. He's gonna make big bucks somewhere when his contract is up.

All true. And let's not overlook the elephant in the room: we have a new inexperienced OC. Can the former QB coach call a running game?

I don't like all these optimistic forecasts. They give me a hinky feeling. I remind myself of the Pitt and Jax games from last year.

I attribute Knox's success more to that "hands coach" that he hired. When Knox strikes the big pay day, which he will, he will really appreciate that decision.

Thanks. I was not aware that Marv had USFL experience. Marv was a learned and well rounded man for certain.

I googled George. An impressive record. He coached college, NFL, USFL and CFL. I think he stands unique in that achievement alone.

Who is Paul Allen? Co-founder of Microsoft fame, or of American Psycho fame?

The gals (and guys) in Buffalo tend to be a bit porky. It's a combination of a long winter and great food options. Compare to the svelte men and women of Miami or Los Angeles where they have no winter.

Offensive Coordinator concerns me the most.

You may have a point on "the locker room" ...I was thinking about the fan base being divided. Seems half the fan base is OK with Kape, and the other half is repulsed. Likewise, fans seem to have a love him or hate him relationship with Flutie.

LOLZ. Kape = Doug Flutie on the divisiveness-meter.

Poyer signed a contract which he hasn't completed. I'm not going to demean someone who thinks not fulfilling a contract is crying or pouting. Poyer signed a contract which he hasn't completed. I'm not going to demean someone who thinks not fulfilling a contract is crying or pouting.

Those apologizing for Poyer's absence won't be so happy when he holds out all of training camp. He hired a cut throat agent. Who lines up against no fool, In Beane We Trust. Beane isn't going to break the bank for a 31 y/o Safety. Besides, the till is empty. Poyer is traded or cut.

You're never a former Marine.

Very patient I hope.

Glad to see that is by far, the fans choice. It's time to stop knee-jerk firing people. Follow the Steelers model and have the same head coach for 15 years and counting. Fantasy team owners forget it's a two-step process. It's always fun for them to fire someone. But if you fire him, then step 2: who you gonna hire who will be an improvement? I see no one out there who can be an improvement over McDermott.

Yeah rookie signing these days are pretty automatic. There isn't much to negotiate over. Thank you God. It's a big change from the old days where agents haggled like a Turkish bazaar, or where your first pick overall, Tom Cousineau, diss the Bills for the CFL. Or Jim Kelly spurning the Bills for the USFL. Regardless, Beane did sign this class in seemingly record time. I guess that's what happens when you're relevant.

Wow. Do I read 3 Monday night games the last 4 Mondays of the season? Just wow.

..and the answer is: the college system can barely grow the talent to sustain a 32 team league. 2/3rd's of NFL QB's are not worthy. Imagine the disaster when Roger Goodell tries to expand the league even further.

..and as a worker, I'm very pleased that backups can stick around.They're making a solid living, earning millions, for only knowing the playbook and being a training camp arm and an ancillary contributor in the QB room. Good for them!
