Even in the far fetched scenario that he's back for the playoffs it would be incredibly dumb for them to play him. First off, you're saying that Zach Wilson, who at least publicly they have thrown support behind isn't going to be able to get it done. I personally don't think he can...but hypothetically, if the Jets ride him to the playoffs he would have earned the right to start. Aaron can assist him from the sideline and be part of it. But if you take Wilson out at that point you're admitting that he cannot be the QB of the future...which is still how they are painting it. Second, dude is 39. The risk of him rushing back too fast getting reinjured and missing next season has to be pretty high IMO. My hunch is they do in fact rush him back too soon. There really isn't anyone on the Jet coaching staff that will save Aaron from himself the way Beane has with Von. The man crushes that Saleh and Douglas have on Aaron may very well be what does them in at the end.

I've seen this before, but Scott Bakula was the QB and Kathy Ireland was the kicker.

A meltdown. Anyone else remember before last season when a LOT of people here were screaming about us needing to sign Jones....then we ended up with Von? Could you imagine this meltdown hitting right now had the Bills gone the Jones route instead?

Seems like a move the Dolphins would make to me. But anyway good to know other teams are seeing some dysfunctional days early in the season as well😂😂

Potential Distraction Alert: Chandler Jones is going "AB" on Twitter today:

This is my worry with the defense, more than even MLB. Hyde seemed ok. Didn't notice him a ton good or bad which isn't always a bad thing. But Poyer was not at his best Monday. The lack of speed on our back end is really going to present an issue against Miami IMO. Overall, I thought the defense was solid. Milano was his normal self...plus some personality. The DL got a lot of pressure. And Benford held his own on the outside. Looking forward to seeing what McDermott has dialed up to stop a Raider team with lower speed but a lot of physical players on offense.

Spoiler Alert for tomorrow: They made it personal. Josh has has enough of the bullstuff. Bills by 30.

Yes, in this case it was quite literally about him.

Well, Mangini is a noted moron. So let's add that to the equation.

I'm going into this knowing I'm about to get grilled. But my choice is: Gabe Davis. Yeah yeah yeah, I get it. The Official forum whipping boy 2023-2024 season. But here's a game where I think Davis can get some work. First off I see a lot of opportunities in the pass game. I see the Bills wanting to push it up the field and get Josh back on track. This is also the type of random early season game (like last years Steelers game) that Davis will tease us with his potential before disappearing again in the near future. My projected stat line is in the 6/115/1TD range.

2 big parts of the Raider team will not suit up Sunday.

According to everything he's posted: Stef should let it go, yet he's been using it as nonstop Twitter content for 2 days. Timmy says He's perfectly fine to say what he wants about it even though it doesn't involve him in the least, but the person the joke was aimed at should have been silent. What a self entitled hypocrite. Sorry, but Stef has been trying to fix his narrative for what seem like years. If there is even a CHANCE that people will get the opinion he's not a pleasant person or he's rude or obnoxious he has every damn right to speak out on his own behalf. Her comment was public. Accidentally public or not. He has the right to defend himself in the same space. My choice still fit the same genre.

Not sure, though she strikes me as having more of a WR skill set.

Weird thing today. Routinely the video feed comes up and then you start to see tweets from the reporters quoting the PC, which is what I look for to quote tweet and share the info here. Today...nothing. Could not find one tweet. Not even from Sal. Maybe I missed some? But it seems like Buffalo sports media was radio silent for this morning on team coverage 🤔🤔🤔

Impactful.

This is part of the social media problem as well. These are just 2 examples I grabbed but there are many more right now. If you don't understand why we are talking about it....it's because those that have the reach decide they want the clicks and interaction despite acting like it's not something we should care about. Here is Bradley. Bradley posted this minutes AFTER retweeting all of the Tweets Diggs sent out. But then he just wants to focus on the Bills on the field? Right after he amplified the issue further. Seems rather disingenuous. Then you have Tim here. Tim thinks the story is ridiculous. So instead of bypassing it he sends this...and then follows it up with no less than 7 follow up interaction tweets. It's a ridiculous story that he's using as the day's Twitter content. In one he even makes it a point to say Diggs could have "let it go" when he himself cannot. Hypocritical? From here there will be stories written about the whole thing and when the reporters are asked why they keep talking about it they will go on to say it's only because that's what the fans want to talk about so they are addressing it. They lay the framework of what we talk about. Meanwhile Glab is going to likely be given some form of punishment, perhaps even lose her job. Diggs, who spends a lot of time in "image reconstruction mode" is going to be facing a new batch of narratives. And the Grahams and Gelbers of the world that help push the issue further and make a very small interaction that could have been forgotten about in a few days into a drug out spectacle. Rather that report on this news, how about asking if there's been any progress on a Gabe Davis extension? How about digging more into why our 1st rounder from last year can't get a jersey on GameDay? How about a million other football related things that actual fans a curious about instead of the easy clicks and interaction?

I'm not sure how it all works but I think if we get this thread to 50 pages the Bills will sign Maddy Glab.

Since this is a Vikings game thread I had to share this. Stats that shouldn't be true but are:

Kirk isn't going to LIKE THAT for long...

Which is why I specified "on the field".

At least on the field Jalen Carter looks like he's going to be everything I was assured Ed Oliver was.

He had a LOT to say about it....

I agree with the bolded. However, until Allen can do what even he admits he needs to do to protect himself physically, they need to pump the breaks on him running by design. And it's not just for the physical well being. How many times in the last few years have we seen him try and absorb a shot to fight for an extra yard or two and lose the ball? Turnovers have and will cost this team. I get it. It's awesome to sit home and watch our actual buffalo of a QB plow guys over. Win Angry Runs awards. The media hype and pleasure many get from the media types replaying the "ohhhhhhh" moments he provides. But it all comes at a cost because his situational awareness is sometimes paused and it hurts the team.

Raiders injury update.
