I understand your point but I think the coaching staff wanted to look at other gunners. They already have an idea what Jones can do. it’s a cruel world. But how many 34 yo gunners - or other speed positions- like CB- are in the league?

I don’t know. Everyone is saying that Jones is a lock. and I realize that McD said he was an elite gunner. Was. Guy is 34 years old and has averaged 5 tackles per year the past 4 seasons with the Bills. And yes, I realize that you can’t assess his real worth just by tackles on ST. But I watched all22 of his games last year and wasn’t impressed. And he took a really dumb penalty in an important game last year It wouldn’t surprise me if he gets cut in favor of younger blood.

I don’t know. Tasker is wrong about obvious facts. 1). He said Bills run game improved in the last 5 games when Boetger started playing full time. Really? 2). He was suggesting Colts scored a TD on an illegal pick play. Replay showed that receiver wasn’t involved in the “pick”. And the pick was really Bills DB and LB playing keystone kops. sorry, he’s just not good.

Penn state has Joey Porter Jr (potential 1st rnd CB) wear boxing gloves at practice.

Pretty sure Beane was tipped off.

I was at the gym last night and saw that on ESPN. I have no idea what they were saying. But here is the surprising think. With Bills at -1, 95% of bets and 99% of money were on Bills. this is either going to be a great season, or a huge letdown.

??? that’s a pretty disingenuous statement. Recovery time is much more complex than pain tolerance. Severity of the injury is probably the most important, but other considerations would include which ribs, how many ribs, the location of the fx, the age of the individual etc.

About a week ago I simply clicked cancel and then got an offer for $19.99 for the year.

Actually I saw this idea floated a year or two ago. An argument against this idea is what happens when you bench a healthy dion Dawkins and put in some scrub. And then Josh Allen gets hammered. Wasn’t such a good idea for player safety then right?

Am I the only one wondering why Robb has pics of Ken on his computer?

Forgot that Carolina still had Sideshow Bob

Difference is that Sjady never fumbled. I was always amazed how he didn’t lead the league in fumbles carrying the ball like that.

Glad to hear Kim is doing better. As regards stroke. And Im not suggesting that she had a stroke. But a major cause of stroke in young (ie, <60) people is atrial fibrillation. Instead of beating like a pump, your hearts upper chambers vibrate incoherently. Sort of like the ingame thread. The blood becomes stagnant, and clots. And then these small clots go into the circulation and lodge in the brain, causing a stroke. This is exactly what happened to John Fetterman, Democrat candidate for senate in PA. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/pennsylvania-senate-candidate-john-fetterman-released-from-hospital-after-stroke He is 52, and recovering nicely.

I’m curious as to your definition of inclusive. And exactly which societies are more inclusive than ours. Your example of Japan is a joke. It’s next to impossible for a non-native Japanese to become a citizen of Japan. I have a friend whose mom is Japanese, and has worked in Japan for >30 years. He cannot become a Japanese citizen. Japan is one of the most homogeneous societies on earth. Tell me, which countries on earth today are more diverse than the US?

That Rams game had possibly Josh best play ever. He grabbed one Rams DL and tosse him into the other Rams DL. What QB has EVER done that. yeah he might have deserved a face mask penalty on that play. But how demoralizing is it for a DL to be beat up on by a QB? And I’m pretty sure one of those rams DL was Aaron Donald.

Investing in a basket of stocks (ie S&P500) is always a wise idea, providing you dont need the money for 10 years. Look at any 10 year time-frame in 1900-2000. Over 10 years, stocks ALWAYS had a positive return, with an average of 8+%. But crypto is a new animal. Stocks in IBM, Amazon, and yes,even Blockbuster, had tangible assets backing them. Crypto has a bunch of electrons backing it. I read a fascinating article a year ago stating that the author didnt know which Crypto (Bitcoin Etherium, etc) would gain dominance in years to come, but he was confident it wasnt Bitcoin. Had to do with the expense of mining and/or maintaining the crypto. That newer cryptos were somehow more efficient. Bottom line; having a high risk/high reward asset such as crypto isnt a bad idea. To have 50+% of your assets in crypto is..????

Agree mostly. But not with Marino. There is no way Marino is in the same tier as Brady/Montana/Peyton/Elway/Brees. All those guys were winners. They all had numerous conference championships and at least one superbowl. Marino, not so much. Marino was a bit like James Lauranitis, the LB commonly known as "pile jumper". Great stats, but in the end, not a true difference maker.

Let me make sure I have this straight. Dude hasnt played a down in the NFL in 5 yrs, and he'd be one of the best backup QBs in the league?

Gotta say, I think this is a truly terrible idea. FG are not typical football plays. They are "special" plays. I'd like to eliminate XP and FG completely. They arent American football. These plays are closer to futbol than football. Think it through. A typical football play involves some combination of blocking, tackling, running, passing, and receiving. AFG involves blocking and kicking. And not even true football blocking. More like just standing in front of the defense. No athleticism involved, as opposed to reach blocks, pulls, pins, combo blocks that you see in a typical football play. Why anyone would take a "non-football" part of football and try to decide a football game on futbol kicks is beyond me. Here is my idea. Eliminate place kicks completely. As above, they are "special" plays, not real football plays. Have all PATs be 2 pt conversions. Under current rules, FG are basically "partial credit", for coming close, but not quite scoring a TD. I think this partial credit remains a good idea. But change the rules. Instead of a guy kicking a ball from 40 yds out to determine the partial credit, make it a football play. Give the offense an advantage. Go 11 on 9, or 11 on 7, for one play, all or nothing. Imagine the creative offense you could see. Far more exciting to have a game won or lost on a real football play, rather than our current system of having a guy "I keek a touchdown" to decide a game.... But yeah, lets instead fill a stadium to watch guys kick FG. SMH

Seriously dude, this thread is nuts. After years of jauron, Rex, and the rest of the stooges, you want to roll the dice on a new coach? I hear Hank Bullough might be available.

Mental illness can take many forms. I have little doubt that this was a hate crime I also think it’s unlikely that this kid is “normal”. my best guess is he was “a bit off” for a long time. Then accessed neo fascist web pages and thought that he could be a hero for his right wing internet buddies.

Hi south, I'm out of town as well. My son and I and a coupel friends have gone to Bills games the past few years. We stay downtown. Close to a bunch of brewpubs, restaurants and Sabres game if that works out. Not expensive. Have stayed at airbnb, Hyatt, and Hampton Inn. Its a pretty easy drive to OP. We've parked in Hammer Lot and the really large lot across from Hammer Lot, maybe a bit further from the stadium. Both were fun. Friendly people, interesting antics. Seats in the lower bowl corners 30 rows up are a really good price point. Think maybe we'll try to hit up an early season game that isnt freezing this year.

Are you sure about that? I’m pretty sure that Ruben Brown was the holder back in the 1990s. I know that I heard he led the NFL in holding.

On the podcast Joe Buscaglia suggested “hold god” But that name is already taken by Ruben Brown. I’ll be here every night till Thursday…
