He's QUIRKY! Shut up & get on board now! Without shoes of course...

So Andreessen didn't get cut? The season is saved!

But that's because they had a hidden extra LB stashed away on the couch - AJ Klein. Now the secret's out, so they may have to change that strategy.

Ah gotcha. I thought he was trying out for OL, but I have only watched preseason highlights so far & haven't ever seen his name brought up. Thanks!

How'd Gable Steveson do? I kind of forgot about him, but saw he got 2 tackles. Are they trying him out on defense too now?

Josh Allen must be my spirit animal! This same question popped up on Twitter asking people to name random old NBA players, and my pick was DJ Mbenga!

I dunno, why is your mom so late with my dinner?! Sorry, got a little heated for a moment. But for real, why are the Bills so good at breaking our hearts? Perhaps that could be the reason for negativity... Reality sets in, and you spend another post-season watching the Chiefs march to the Super Bowl (and after having spent 2 decades watching the Patriots do the same), and eventually you start to think "are curses real?" I can honestly say I've never seen a post like this in my entire life... Neither here or on the old BBMB. Can you provide any example of someone rooting for failure to prove a point, or is this just you assuming that's how people feel when they're negative about something?

Exactly. Lets not forget that the 49ers also were smart enough to trade for CMC, even with their existing weapons. The Bills seemed fine just passing up on elite offensive talent after acquiring Diggs.

This was really good, but 100% disagree about Coleman not being able to catch the ball because it was SO bad & our other receivers wouldn't have a chance. Also, for those who try to say "of course he wasn't willimg to sacrifice himself in a preseason game, he was going to get killed!" - that ball was entirely catchable & whether he caught it or not made no difference to any potential danger. The ball had already hit his hands and fallen before any contact was imminent with a defender... which he managed to avoid AFTER already dropping it. Nothing would change regarding his safety had he caught it. He'd have the exact same amount of time to avoid contact as he did in reality. No need to lay himself out or get killed. Whether or not your hands grip the ball vs dropping the ball isn't the life & death difference some people made it out to be. "But he'd have to pull it in!" Uh huh, and watch the play again... He was already in position to do just that without taking a huge shot, only he did it without catching the pass.

Do documentaries often hit movie theaters? I would love to watch this, but I'm not sure I'll ever get a chance to see it on the big screen 🙁

There should just be 1 roll of TP in the middle... How are we supposed to accidentally touch a stranger's hand across from us, apologizing at the same time, get all flustered, then fall in love? ❤️ Where's the potential for romance?!

Doesn't mean the other option would work though. They could go for it on 4th & 7 and just get shut down anyway, so then what? Obviously McDermott would get crucified for not kicking the FG & everyone would riot saying he cost is the SB. But in the Chiefs game, kicking a FG there was dumb anyway given the circumstances. We like to pretend we "lost by a FG" to make ourselves feel better, but in reality, the Chiefs had a ton of left to score! And given how easily they moved the ball ALL GAME, combined with what they proved in the "13 seconds" game, kicking a FG there was playing for the lowest chance of survival. Hoping for a miracle stop & hoping for OT - not good odds given the situation.

It's just sad that compared to the Chiefs, we are getting further from where we want to be. The Chiefs invested heavily in OL a while back, now they've got a great group locked down protecting Mahomes. And despite being known for offense, they then built up a defense that ended up 2nd in the league while also being the 2nd YOUNGEST. Yet our defensive-minded HC, who's invested many early round picks & a ton of money in defense, is looking at rebuilding a gutted, often-injured unit that achieved nothing in the post-season for years. So they already out-scored us, then they surpassed us in D, all while getting younger, protecting their QB, keeping elite players, and having a better cap situation than us? And I'm supposed to be believe we "quietly got better?" Surely these WRs - a couple mid-level guys, under-achievers & one 2nd rd rookie, our "next-man-up" D, and the same HC will do better this year, right? Sure, the cap situation will be improved NEXT year, and we will have NEXT draft to acquire more young guys, but it's not like other teams stay frozen in time. During our transitional year, the Chiefs will be contending for a SB threepeat. It bums me out, but there's still hope for the future. We just have to find a way to leap-frog the Chiefs, not just keep pace behind them. Oh, and also hold back other ascending/contending teams like the Ravens, Texans, Dolphins, Bengals, Jags, etc.

Cool post, very interesting! I think you're right on a lot of them, but on the 2ne one, did Keon stop there or did he keep running inside? I think Josh hits him if that's where he stopped on the comeback, but if he kept running inside, think there's a decent chance of being picked off even if Josh was in. Then again, I'm just being nitpicky, but I hope he gets more opportunities in the future!

Yeah, this is about where I am with it. This roster isn't like the 49ers or something. Our QB going down is the end of the line. Doesn't matter who we put back there, unless they're a top NFL QB, there's no chance this team makes the playoffs if Josh is out.

Well, we can only go up from here I hope. D looked better than last week, so that's nice. Bummed we can't see any Cole Bishop this preseason. Really wanted to know what kind of player he'd be in the NFL. Even though Mitch wasn't good, Coleman definitely has to come down with passes like the one he dropped in the endzone. Not worried about it, just hope his chemistry with Josh is better. Aside from that, looks like we have some nice RBs this year. If Cook can't hold onto the ball or be a consistent runner, give Davis or Gore Jr. a shot.

I really hope we don't go the whole preseason without the offense scoring a TD... Yeah, yeah, it's just preseason, but it shouldn't be THAT hard over 3 games

Until he did... and he dropped a TD 😅

I don't think ANY of those things are "really likely." Even as someone who's more realistic & tries to avoid making homer predictions/comments, here's how I see those all playing out: - Worthy develops into a #1 or #2 AND Keon Coleman develops into a #1 or #2 (this year) - Diggs doesn't get 1,000 yards or just barely scratches it, but he'll still likely throw shade in the same way Tyreek Hill did with Mahomes (trying to prop up Tua) - Josh Allen has a down year statistically but plays better overall (with less turnovers). I think this will be a transition year, so I'm not expecting Super Bowl anymore. But I also don't think the sky is falling.

Yeah... I'm definitely impressed. Who cares if it was pre-season, that was hilarious 😂

Don't stress, this probably isn't going to be our year. Just enjoy what you can & hope Allen balls out. At least that way we'll have some hope for the future!

Considering how dangerous this game is, it's a miracle when any non-QB can make it through a season without a significant injury. There are multiple injuries every game, so you just have to hope after 17 games, you have less major injuries than the other guys. Does anyone think Douglas, Benford, Oliver, Bernard, etc. will all avoid injuries for 17 games? Unfortunately, I expect that won't be the case. I hope Milano can come back, but we've heard things like that before. Just hope Josh, Keon, Kincaid & the OL stay mostly healthy, as they're our only shot this year.

Don't worry, I'm sure the group we have at the end of the year will be completely unrecognizable! No need to get attached 😅

Anyone who says our WR corps is GOOD is being dishonest, or they're so optimistic they've convinced themselves of something silly. Pre-deadt, people were begging for a WR2 upgrade over Gabe when we still had Diggs. We lost both, then scoured low cost, low ego guys from other teams hoping to scrape something together. Claypool & MVS were rolling the dice, no real expectations. Coleman is our only true investment in the future. If your own GM is admitting publicly they took a step back (and taking a step back from a position most fans already thought wasn't good enough), that tells me we are anything but "better."

What a silly thing to say... It's a clear problem, not just some throwaway stat you can shrug off. Dead last, and you say "who gives a ****?" Points matter, right? Just because you're successful at other parts of the field, doesn't mean you can ignore one of the most important parts. You know these embarrassing upsets we have year after year? Losing to the Urban Meyer Jags, blown out at home against the Colts, losing to the Jets without Rodgers, beaten by Mac Jones, etc. etc. etc... Maybe not being dead last in a very important area of the field would help get us some extra points? Then again, so would not committing so many turnovers, but apparently Josh can't be blamed for that either because "who gives a ****? He's great all the other times!" But isn't the goal to IMPROVE & win a SB? The Chiefs being the #1 offense over that period & Bills being #2 means we're neck & neck, but they've made 4 SBs & we've made zero. Is it all for that reason? Obviously not. But aside from last year, we've had a higher ranked D & been right there offensively, so... So is it ST? Coaching? Obviously it can't be Josh Allen, so maybe we SHOULD care about "cherry picked" things like this if we're DEAD LAST & see if they can be improved...
