  1. First day on the internet?
  2. DH Makes it: OL Tylan Grable - Athletic Freak, won't risk losing DH Cut: S Mike Edwards - Bishop wins the job, Hamlin shows enough to be backup, Cam Lewis is 4th...Hyde is around for break glass in emergency
  3. I'm not certain it was clearly getting out of a $30m WR contract versus getting value before you cut a 30yr old WR about to need a 3rd contract 25yr old getting 2nd contract at 25-30m isn't the same risk/issue
  4. 1. Doug Flutie - the love affair people had for him because he was short, will never make sense to me 2. Sammy Watkins - single handedly has ruined this fanbases appetite for trading up (good and bad really) 3. Vontae Davis - have some damn respect for the team and quit on Monday 4. Kyle Orton - sliding on 4th down behind the stick...are you kidding me right now
  5. I think for them to get up into the top-10. they would need to make two trades First into the teens and then up to the top-10 If that was going to be the case, I don't think it's happening at the draft table We'll know of the first move before then and they'd still need to be okay drafting someone in the teens at the cost they gave up, if the other deal fell through which is most likely draft day dependent on the board
  6. absolutely not along with world cup, two most dreaded time of the sports calendar absolutely no interest
  7. Etienne fantasy value going up
  8. I'm not sure this applies in 2024 that LT is most important OL position, it used to be for sure when QB's where far less mobile and stayed in pocket. The game has evolved quite a bit, evading a quick beat off the edge is far easier than one up the middle With how much shotgun Allen prefers to be in, his blind side isn't as open as a straight drop back. Elite offenses/QB's seem to have a high level center was more often than not as well over the past 20 years
  9. "We need to get younger" Beane trades a 27yr old career back-up for a 5th round pick "No, Not that way"
  10. You must be fun at parties
  11. T.O.? Does he still have the key?
  12. Oliver, Rousseau - snap counts need to go up I know this is a Mcdermott thing, but you have to let our best players play Absolutely, no reason these guys can't be getting 75-80% of the snap count
  13. I think it's a safe bet when looking at other teams "breakout" players little limited historical data to support this at any level is to remember our own guys like this. Just always remember Robert Foster All teams have these guys in flashes
  14. Wouldn't yards allowed after contact add a lot of context to this number?
  15. Iasaih Hodgins, I've been told on this board many times that he's amazing and we shouldn't have let him go
  16. You think those stats look good?
  17. Lamar the passer is clearly in my eyes, why he's not getting a big deal done. For comparison sake, take a look at these two 3 yr stretches QB1 - 39 GP, 691-1084 (att/cmp), 7881 yds, 59TD(5%) , 29 INT (3%), 7.3 Y/A, 7.2 AY/A, 202.1 Yards per game QB2 - 43 GP, 774-1236 (att/cmp), 8857 yds, 51TD(4%) , 16 INT (1%), 7.2 Y/A, 7.4 AY/A, 206.0 Yards per game QB1 is last Lamar - post MVP seasons QB2 is Tyrod - Bills years That's eye opening to me!
  18. Morse isn't being cut, zero chance We've seen the offense without him under center, it's ugly He's probably in that top-10 center area, not far out of it if he isn't top-10 in your eyes I can see him being extended to reduce the cap hit Hynes, the cap hit it fairly high for the role he's played, he won't get that on open market, not with this class of FA RB's...extending and reducing cap hits is probably going to be on the table, kick/punt returner are priorities for this staff, paid Andre Roberts $3m per just to do it...Hynes is more dynamic at it and more likely to add to the offense Oliver trade is possible, but not likely, he's more apt to be extended and cap hit reduced - he may not be playing to his draft status, but he's still a starting caliber DT in this league, he's not going to be given away for pennies on the dollar when you would just need to replace him with equal or higher priced player McKenzie should get cut based on usage and performance this past year Siran Neal - he's not getting cut, team values special teams players, with Kumerow and Matkevich already most likely gone and possibly Jones, not removing another key piece from this units
  19. I can't see NFL declaring the game a tie or no contest and potentially giving the Bills game zero meaning on Sunday I can see following scenario's Bengals-Ravens - Your game is for the division (destiny in both hands this Sunday) Bills-Patriots - Bills win and you get #1 Seed Chiefs-Raiders - Chiefs win and Bills lose, you get #1 seed Bengals get #1 seed if both Chiefs and Bills lose Bengals get #2 seed if Chiefs lose and they win (Chiefs may argue, we are getting short end of the stick, easily can be answered with you went 0-2 against them) It's creates a bunch of must win type scenarios for these teams and extra scenarios to be discussed as TV fodder WIN-WIN for NFL Brand
  20. I can't see anything but a 3-year deal Deal for next season would be very incentive based, with contract rules for incentives and how and when the cap hits take place with "likely" and "unlikely" incentives, the cap hits wouldn't strike until 3-4 years down the line This is the type of deal/player you hope for in a Super Bowl window
  21. I have a feeling, his contract is going to be very complex with all kids of incentive bonus being abused from the likely and unlikely categories shifting cap hits and holds all over the place and possibly 3-years down the road before you are actually using it as written I don't see a 1-year deal being signed anywhere, 3-years, lots of incentives (not just because of his knee, but the CBA language and rules for the "likely" and "unlikely" incentives. A sizable chunk of the cap hit could be thrown 3 years down the road during a Super Bowl window
  22. Going to be a lot of people on these boards losing their minds when Edmonds is re-signed with the money created by trading/releasing Milano
  23. 17 years ago, I attended a friends wedding 5 hour drive from home After leaving the day after, I got back into the town I lived in, about two lights from my exit, my girlfriends was with me in my car (now my wife), we had been travelling with a few of my other friends in another car, we had lost them on the highway at some point through some traffic. As I was sitting at the red light, I looked up in the mirror and saw a car weaving in traffic, I thought it was them trying to catch up before we got home. This was my last memory of that evening, everything else from that night is from what others have told me happened. My car was struck in the left rear by that weaving car, it was a drunk driving in the middle of a street race, the impact sent me forward, crushed my right shoulder on the steering wheel, my head ricochet off the windshield and through the driver side window, my car spun through the intersection. My friends who had been following behind, came onto the scene, saw the car that struck mine on fire in the center median, they pulled the driver from his burning car, after getting him out. They noticed a man stumbling in the street, face covered in blood. They immediately realized it was me. Tried to get me taken care of, I was unaware of whom they where and was very agitated and tried to fight them off me. Fire/Ambulance/Police arrived on the scene, paramedics concerned about my well being. could not get me into the ambulance as I tried to fight anyone who came near me. They asked my girlfriend if she could try, this worked and I hoped onto the gurney and was sent to the hospital (Thankfully my wife did not suffer any injuries) At the hospital, I remained an unruly fellow, trying to fight Doctors and Nurses all the same, I was restrained and cuffed to the gurney at the hospital. Doctor recounted telling my wife, that he had never wanted to punch anyone before but was an inch from doing it to me (holding his fingers apart in the air) I awoke from this monster I had become around 3 in the morning, lucid, calm and back to my normal self. I was immediately released from the hospital. This became an issue later on as I probably should not have released at this time, but they also didn't want me around anymore. This person I was during this is someone I don't recognize or proud of. Thankful I don't have actual memories of being like this in any way. I remember little of the next few days, I remember going to my car to get personal belongings and not much else. I spent the next 3-4 months in a constant battle of being tired, dizzy, nauseous. Was unable to work, play the sports I had always loved (hockey/baseball) Living on the 6th floor of my building, I would try and go down and get the mail during the day, was unable to walk the 6 flights of stairs down or up without a break halfway, I slowly got better, stayed with symptoms for years. Even to this day, 17 years later, things that never used to bother me cause me to get dizzy and nauseous (strobe lights, anything that spins quickly) I've had other setbacks through the years, bump my head a little too firmly and I can easily be dizzy and it'll take me a day or two to feel better
