Keenum has really sucked so far today

Bernard has looked pretty darn good so far!

Oh, and Keenum sucks so far.

Ugly turnover by Kumerow.

Well I was going to say “at least we get to see Araiza punt”, then Haack trotted out 😂

Did anyone else catch the (very obvious) overdub around the 6:03 mark of that new embedded video? I’m not even sure the overdub is Kevyn Adams voice. It almost sounds like someone else. I wonder what their ideal scenario truly was?

I think Fant will be pissed if he’s taken out of the LT spot at all. He earned that starting LT spot last season. It’ll be interesting to see how the NYJ handle this.

Yep. I could actually see this signing causing potential issues. Fant sucked on the right and he’s in a contract year. I doubt he will be ok with switching to RT. He plays much better at LT and is in line for a bigger payday as a LT.

I enjoy Matt Parrino’s training camp reports. He does a good job.

Interview with Von Miller starts about 13 minutes in.

Damn, what brutal luck he has. 2nd season in a row he will miss to a knee injury. He played 1 game last year before going down with a knee injury, and now another this year in training camp. Its going to be tough to come back after so much time off.

It seems like they basically just monetized what they had previously been offering for free by throwing in a couple extra features. I guess they can’t offer a full streaming package though because of deals they already have in place with other networks and streaming services.

Wow, now that’s a blast from the past! Those were the days! I had hundreds of bands full discographies and well over 500 burned CDs for my car audio system. Any time I found a new band I liked I’d just download every album they ever made. Im guessing it’s still possible now but i’ve been out of the loop for a long time.

That was a Great interview! Thanks for sharing. Gets me even more hyped for the season to start.

Also, from yesterday:

I have no interest in getting into a vaccine debate so I’ll leave that comment alone. That’s not even what I was referring to though. I was referring to him blatantly disregarding all of the Covid protocols (the same protocols he followed the previous season) as well as his own rules about staying off of Twitter during the season (something he never did before last season), and not being a distraction during a season where the team had super bowl hopes. https://billswire.usatoday.com/2021/12/27/buffalo-bills-cole-beasley-fined-100k-covid-19-violations/ He didn’t have to get vaccinated but he did have to follow the NFL Covid protocols, which he refused to do. That’s putting himself above the team IMO. He missed time 2 seperate times during the season due to that. It also put him and his teammates at risk. He didn’t seem to care if he potentially exposed his teammates to Covid, which could’ve caused key players to miss important games and even put their health at risk. I mean, he had one teammate that missed the entire season due to Covid complications and another couple who spent time in the hospital due to Covid. https://www.buffalobills.com/news/complication-due-to-covid-19-ends-tommy-sweeney-s-2020-season https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/32039522/buffalo-bills-dion-dawkins-says-being-hospitalized-covid-19-one-lowest-points https://www.syracuse.com/buffalo-bills/2021/12/bills-jon-feliciano-spent-time-in-er-due-to-covid-19-received-monoclonal-antibodies.html He also didn’t have to crusade on Twitter spreading misinformation, arguing with fans + media, even taking shots at Bills fans. He could’ve just been like any number of other Bills players who didn’t get vaccinated but just kept it to themselves and followed the NFL protocols and were not a distraction about it in any way. But he was unable to do that.

I don’t see how things changed. Same regime. Same core group of players. Same team first attitudes. IMO the only thing that changed was Beasley going from team first to me first.

I think you’re being a bit unrealistic to expect anyone outside of Buffalo fans to care about the small market Bills during a 17 year playoff drought where they played a lot of crappy and sometimes boring football. Especially national reporters. Heck, I’m sure even some of us born & raised die hard fans lost interest. There was little interest in the Bills by outside fan bases so the national media isn’t going to care. And it’s not like we really had any big rivalries either like we do now with KC. A team like Buffalo is only going to matter when they’re winning. and I think bandwagon fans just come with the territory of being a great team. I actually take pride in the fact that the Bills are good enough to be trendy. I feel like it’s a compliment for people outside of Buffalo to care about the Bills. So as far as I’m concerned, the more (fans) the merrier! It can only be a good thing for a small market team like us. More prime time games. More media attention. More merchandise sales and money for a small market team. More advantage with away crowd numbers.

I’m glad the NFL is appealing and not at all surprised to see they are. I felt that ruling made an appeal pretty easy for the NFL. I almost felt like the NFL had to appeal the judges ruling with the way she worded certain things.

i feel the exact same way Mina Kimes does.

Was just reading up on NFL+ over on NFL.com. They confirm that the live regular season games will only be available on phones and tablets. https://www.nfl.com/plus/learn-more?icampaign=npl-edi-cpr-NFL+_Editorial_Launch_Promo I was assuming you could still at least cast it to your TV if you have a method for doing it (like chromecast for ex). I didn’t think that the app would offer a built in casting option but figured I could still do it with chromecast or Apple air play. But then I came across this: https://theathletic.com/3454558/2022/07/27/nfl-streaming-service-nfl-plus/ That makes this service much less appealing to me. I don’t really need it to watch games right now anyway but thought it might be a decent option if I ditch cable. But I’m not really interested in having to watch on my 11” tablet screen or 6” phone screen only. I guess we will have to wait and see if there’s a way around this… too bad it wasn’t available on PC. Then I’d just run an hdmi cable to my tv. But that’s not allowed either. https://support.nfl.com/hc/en-us/articles/5400888930076-I-subscribed-to-NFL-with-an-in-app-purchase-How-do-I-watch-games-on-my-computer- I was going to take advantage of the sale on a year subscription to NFL+ for $29.99 that’s running right now but I think I’ll wait. This really isn’t that appealing to me right now. The only thing I’d be buying it for would be the preseason game access that you can watch on your TV. Game replays for every game would be cool but that costs $79.99/yr for the premium option. I get a majority of games live and the NFL channel shows a bunch of game replays already so I get to see most of the games I want to see as it is. Disappointed with the initial launch of this service. It had the potential to be great but I guess they probably don’t want to deter people from using the other streaming services and networks the NFL has partnered with. Or maybe it was part of the new TV deal.

It’s crazy to read about some of the stuff he went through. But it never changed him. Never made him bitter/angry. There’s a link to the full story of you click on the tweet.
