Hmmm... Isaiah Hodgins...? https://theathletic.com/2667530/2021/07/26/isaiah-hodgins-wants-to-show-the-bills-the-wait-was-worth-it-after-missing-his-first-year-to-injury?source=user-shared-article

Thank you for posting this! I don't have the 57 minutes to watch this now, but this is definitely one I will watch. It was honestly largely his unique personal story that I immersed myself in right after we drafted him that made me go from completely hating the pick to being on board. I'm genuinely curious about what new nuggets can be gleaned from this... I'm sure there are many.

What jerk bumped this?

Honestly Beasley's position has become even more selfish and ignorant over the last few weeks with the rise of the Delta variant, which has a significantly increased ability to infect even vaccinated people. People who are unvaccinated are much more likely to get infected and exponentially more likely to be hospitalized or die, but those things are still possible even among the vaccinated. The position of "no rules or restrictions for me if I'm unvaccinated because it's my body and my choice" is utterly ridiculous because you naturally become more of a risk to spread infection to your teammates who took it upon themselves to get the vaccine. Cole needs to do 1 of 3 things: 1) Shut the ***** up and get the vaccine 2) Shut the ***** up and abide by the rules for the unvaccinated 3) Retire and complain all he wants

I've been reading your posts in this thread and these 2 sentences capture the combination of ignorance and lunacy in every single one of them.

I love Beasley and prefer him on the team... but I also think our WR corps would still be very good without him if Diggs, Sanders and Davis were our top 3 WRs. Plus I think Allen is going to start becoming that QB who elevates another WR or 2 into surprise production territory. Beasley can simultaneously be a great slot WR and too much of a headache to keep on a team with some good talent in the WR room... and I think that is the case.

He changed and improved on stuff last offseason... who's to say he doesn't do something drastic this off-season? Allen is still a bit malleable... which is good. And he trusts Palmer, who seems to be a legit QB guru. Obviously my trepidation is based entirely on an article where I'm not being given access to the entire process, but basic logic tells me 2 feet fully planted and dug into the ground (essentially) would more likely lead to lower leg injuries than feet that aren't. Again... likely missing an important part of that process. It's just that worrisome bird in the back of my brain.

That Athletic article is pretty awesome. It's one of those worthy of subscription. I must say, though... it leaves me with one worry: Palmer is stressing the importance of "All 16 go into the ground" as an emphasis on using the ground as a way to take the load of your arm. Is it possible that this creates a higher likelihood of severe leg injuries? When you're on your toes, you're more nimble and loose. When your feet are planted flat and basically dug in, basic physics tell me bad things are a comin if someone attacks those legs...

It's just Beasely. And as much as I love him as a player, I'm reaching the point where I won't be upset if we cut him. I view Sanders as an upgrade over John Brown and I think Davis will be better than last year. Maybe our WR corps takes a step back without Beas, but I don't think it'll be a huge one. And maybe this is finally the year our TEs make up the difference.

Good. This is how it should be this year.

February 2022

Is there a list of percentage vaccinated for each team, other than the handful mentioned in that article?

Meet your next OC

Man... you guys are really bringing your A game... guess you're just still mad

Ya know what I thought when Trump was in office almost every single day? "Good God what's this #ucktard going to do or say to damage this Country and can we make it through to the election" (which luckily bounced his a$$ out of office by the will of the American people) Now I don't have to spend my days focused on how much our President is destroying our Country... which is one of the reasons I don't mosy on over here much. But when I do, some of you make me laugh. Are people really calling this some kind of joke or troll job? Sounds similar to years ago when someone started a thread (thread is buried... I'm sure someone could find it) that posed the question of whether Trump would concede if he lost the election... a lot of the responses had the same tone of disbelief at posited question. These same posters turned a complete 180 as we ended last year and became proponents of The Big Lie. Many of these posters are now gone, but I just checked their website for the first time in months... they've encrypted/hidden their politics page and they're taking donations on the main website 😆 so maybe you should head on over there... I'm sure some of these donations are going to the 7 point plan that isn't happening since we all know they're just 4chan under the guise of a Bills Website

Not premium because everyone has access to Peacock, but Mr. Mercedes with Brian Gleeson is fantastic 9 episodes into season 1.

That's the thing about Allen, he's a natural thrower of the football. You could see that even in college... and I wish I watched more of him play in college rather than looking at his completion percentage before being so anti Allen in the draft. But what did get me on board very quickly after the draft--along with his unique personal background and being a die-hard Bills fan who couldn't change the outcome--was actually watching him play in college. He just looks so natural as a passer... unlike someone like EJ Manuel who always looked like such a robot.

Paramount plus is premium. This is a show I've been meaning to get to... thanks! As for other shows... has anyone watched Sweet Tooth? Fantastic show! I also am 5 episodes in to Mr. Mercedes on Peacock and I'm hooked! Loki is awesome... although right now I'm wondering what's happened from the last huge cliffhanger episode and I've gotta wait to find out! I watched the 1st episode of The Wire because I've heard so much about it. Honestly... wasn't inspired to keep watching. And I do like crime stuff as I liked Bosch and LOVED Justified.

It was. Great Summer blockbuster in the Independence Day spirit. Looks too dark. I get what they're doing, but if I'm gonna watch a comedy, I want to laugh, not cringe.

Trade prospects must be slowing down. This thread has fallen to the middle of page one...

Discussed today on The Herd were Cossell's previous comments about Allen being the most talented NFL QB player in the last 2 or 3 decades:
