As a 1st grader experimenting with new sandwich creations, I came up with butter, peanut butter and honey, in that order. It’s been a few years but I’m reasonably sure I couldn’t handle that today, no matter how great that was at the time .

Thanks OP, keep up the good work! “Thoughts” (along with Shaw) are a must-read for me after each game. Can’t remember which week last year it was that you were a tad “late” in posting, and the meltdowns (myself included) were palpable here!

Given what a scrub he apparently is with zero natural aptitude or athleticism, it’s amazing he was even such a success at the college level.

It’s the droopy shoulders Donuts—why didn’t any of the scouts pick up on the fact that men will never follow droopy shoulders into brick walls?

To be a fly on the wall if he and Johnny Football ever reminisce over some drinks about their NFL experiences. Or not—on 2nd thought, let’s see what’s on Hallmark channel instead. 🧐

Or whatever this is!

Pretty crazy to ponder!

Just remember as you’re readying your slings and arrows for dancing on Tebow’s vacated roster spot, one Kelvin Benjamin was also on an NFL roster to start this TC year, and was let go for allegedly non-football related reasons. Bonus: isn’t Nate Peterman still in the NFL too? I for one applaud Tebow’s effort, he’s a good dude on and off the field.

So nice to see you back at it OP! Very much have enjoyed your write-ups and look forward to many more! My 2 cents for #4 would be sports movie quotes… “Skip: What's our record Larry? Larry: Eight and 16. Skip: Eight and 16...how'd we ever win eight?” (Bull Durham)

In! Doing my part. Are there any ration books or war bonds up for purchase to help us subsidize Beane’s tire kicking getting r dunn on Dunn tires, “it’s a dunn deal?” for this?

Very happy for you, congrats!!

Not to fret, I’m quite sure Jimmy Spags will figure out a way to tell us such news is a Jets win-win!

I definitely agree it wasn’t ideal. And the Bills were right not to just hand him the job out of the gate (say what you will, NP was always a preseason/TC beast) But I’d bet for as much as there were negatives, he also has taken some positives away from the experiences had in 2018.

I think you have to, a ring’s a ring, just like other coaches have benefited from their predecessors, see e.g., Seifert got one on Walsh’s coattails in SFO.

Even Josh for all intents and purposes was forced into a starting role much earlier than expected in his rookie year, basically from game 1, still have shudders from that Baltimore game—anyway, it didn’t destroy him, he’s flourished.

Also liked how Beane described his mindset of never resting on the roster, saying to the effect that when people tune out of preseason games in the 3rd-4th quarters, he’s tuning in to see how their 5th or 6th option at linebacker for example stacks up to our own 5th or 6th deep, and would they be better or not, or a ST ace, etc., so constantly looking for even incremental improvement anywhere possible.

“No one talks about how cold it is to play in Green Bay, and they didn’t say it about Buffalo when Jim Kelly was here—having a franchise QB makes your team attractive to FA’s…” Bingo.

Clearly!

I say give me all the Bills propaganda and banter you got! As an out of towner constantly jonesing for my Bills audio fixes whilst sitting in Atlanta traffic, you can do a lot worse than streaming OBL, imho. And how soon so many of you apparently forgot one John Murphy who was constantly berated on these boards as a terrible radio guy, and CB when guesting usually got better reviews than Murph. I know what I’m getting when I listen, and am perfectly content with it, as it’s nonstop positive Bills talk!

Link is worth another look!

Apologies if posted upthread, but it looks like Rosen is well on his way to washing out of yet another opportunity… https://www.49erswebzone.com/articles/148828-49ers-rosen-taken-couple-steps-practice-according-shanahan/

Say what you will, CB 2 was never a glaring weakness on this team since Levi’s been here, imho.

Thanks OP, this should be required reading for all of the national media types you referenced—it would be a helpful cheat sheet for their hot takes!

When Allen’s grandma passed away who he was very close with, I remember Daboll & Allen sharing a very genuine moment after he went off against the Seahawks…here’s an article with this along with some other nuggets: https://www.sportscasting.com/brian-daboll-had-a-touching-embrace-with-josh-allen-after-the-tragic-death-of-his-grandmother/ “Yes, he wants his players to be tough out on the field, but he also wants them to know that it’s OK to be a human being with real emotions. When Josh Allen lost his grandmother, he credited Daboll with giving him a safe space to let out his feelings in an embrace after his first game since her death.”
