It's a 6th round pick dude.
Im not going to sit here and praise Beane for getting a 6th round pick for someone he thought could hold his own for the team a year ago.
Maybe he was more of "cream of the crap" than anything else.
not disagreeing with you but maybe we focus the praise on the fact he collected draft capital for someone they were going to cut, however minimal we make that it's still something for nothing.

8-8 to 9-7; 3-3 in the division(split with jets 2 on fins a 2 down to pats)
hope i’m pleasantly surprised; But I think next year is when we turn the corner to double digit wins.

Wonder why they wouldn’t want him to have to talk to the media though -
look at what i said above: i wasn't kidding
Mitch is a dude with values, lying, or even a 'truth avoidance' is a challenge, don't ask, don't tell.

Nothing (as usual) thus far on the Bills Twitter page
Quotebeing in protocol excuses him from media...
this is a strategy move, especially if they embellished any or all of it...

I didn't see dollars either but he had to tell someone...he hasn't practiced most of camp and was pretty much ruled out for opening day. Fans booing him was ridiculous....
agreed, but then i'd never boo a player regardless of how bad they are, that's just me. Maybe that was easier for him to walk away vs taking a year off, dunno.
regardless, if i'm Eli i'm saying "hey, you guys good with Daniel? i'll go help the Colts out, that team is stacked"

He offered to return some money and Colts declined....and Colts have known for a while...he didn't just tell them on Saturday
i had read that also but never saw the actual dollar amount; as to when they knew vs Saturday, that's speculation and even then i bet it wasn't months or even weeks; we're talking days tops.
how does that get kept a secret? especially with an owner like Irsay?

I don't blame the fans one bit.
Not one bit. Luck HAD to have known this back in the spring when the team could have made an adjustment.
Yes, it's his right to quit when he wants to. But that RIGHT doesn't insulate him from criticism.
#totallyAGREE
My buddy and I have been mulling this over and while i may not 100% side with come of the Colts fans' reactions i think they are viable. He DID quit, he had a good (in his mind) reason but when, how was very impactful to the team and the fanbase. Leaving the org was impactful enough but to do it after the 3rd preseason game when the team can't possible react appropriately and on the cusp of a potentially solid deep playoff run (their division is weak, AFC has just a couple of really strong teams) was crap, maybe it was strategic on his part, but it was a dick move.
things he knows:
- there's a potential to get hurt in football - high risk/reward
- playing through the pain is part of the game but you have a choice, no one physically forced him out on the field.
- even if he was getting internal pressure to play he still can sit, he has a contract to protect him and come back when he's ready
- in the pro's it's nearly a year around sport
- ~$97mm in his pocket
i'd have more respect for him if he gave back the $$ but it's a pretty easy choice when you look at what's in his wallet...
i cant imagine what this will do to contracts going forward.

Hopefully he's studying-up on HGH, er, the TB12 method, extra helmet radios and illegal videotaping.
agreed on the whole sentence but the highlighted is especially egregious IMO. I was watched "A football Life" of Belichick, they actually have a video example of 1 second before Brady snapped the ball you can see/hear BB shouting "pass, pass" in his mic and Brady pulls the ball away from the RB (wasn't a designed play-action move).
I don't think Brady was/is the defensive reader he appears to be or was in the beginning; it's possible he's learned listening to BB for 19 years, i think BB was giving him the breakdown right up to the snap.

I swear to god I’ll smash my remote if I see Allen get scared like a little girl when a d lineman breaks through and he just throws it on the ground and takes the penalty cause he’s scared to be hit. I know it’s a smart play in the grand scheme of things for him and his team but omg I scream every time I see Brady do it. Most gutless play in the whole league.
the thing that gets me about this is they know 90% of the time they can make up for it; penalty or incompletion (unless it's 3rd down) ; i'd LOVE for my team to be in that position.

house alarm going off giving police probable cause to enter the premises and the fresh lines/paranafialia from "pre-gaming" the club sitting on the coffee table - priceless

My Pats fan pal just responded to my text “buh bye Chung” by texting “He’ll get a 4 game suspension. He was never arrested...only received a summons.”
?
that was my thought also - i'm betting there's a suspension at the most and really nothing comes from this; teams carry an army of attorneys on retainer and i bet the Pats have the best in the biz.

I will tentatively agree with you on Daryl Johnson and Sweeney, as far as value, they may be our best picks. Daryk Johnson has a lot, lot of upside potnetial, deens to gain some weight and technique.
Singletray i think was ok and Knox we haven't really seen him do anything yet.
Oliver and Ford will be around for a while, more impressed with Ford sop far than Oliver.
Have not seen enough of Vosean or Jaquon Johnson to for an opinion yet. Vosean might be on his way to the practice squad, if he does he might not clear the waiver wire.
One person you didnt mention although we didn't draft him is Ryan Bates. It looks like he may develop into a real NFL center, we picked him up for next to nothing.
Obviously some incredibly "wise" poster is going to strongly admonish us for not waiting until after all these guys retire to really determine if they were any good.
that is nothing compared to the lectures about how it has only been two pre season games and you can only judge a draft after there years, blah blah blah.

Chiefs
Cowboys
Rams
Saints

Colts
Bears
Eagles
Texans (bit of a reach)
Browns (i said it; i think they bring it together this year taste winning and then implode next year)
i'm optimistic the Bills will be better but there it more 'unknown' than 'known' on their success and that will swing speculation substantially so i'm grounding myself.

Still in concussion protocol as of today (Sun 8/18).
He's finished.
Extremely unfortunate but when you have a gambler as General Manager this will happen.
Let's hope Feliciano steps in and can become the long-term solution we were hoping for with Morse.

Thank you. I’m not knocking Allen. I loved some of the throws he made. It’s just that everything in preseason should be taken with major grains of salt,
Totally agree with you so not knocking your statement but have you see the sticky, sweet love the Pats 3rd QB is getting from his performance last night? against the Titan's 'bagboys' no less?
i think we should all exercize measured excitement but it's everywhere...

It's somewhat of a concern and why the NFL continues to make offenses more prolific.
https://morningconsult.com/2018/10/15/past-time-for-the-pastimes-nfl-and-mlb-lose-ground-with-gen-z/
so we're calling them Gen Z now? ok, whatever.
can't speak for NBA but the MLS increase is due to the 'individuality desire' of the generation. with Social Media the way it is today they see just how 'alike' they are with others and strive to be 'different' and dare i say it? MLS is just that, a convenient sport; there when we want it and forgotten when we don't care.
Additionally, the NFL isn't just about a sport, they have the biggest loudmouths in sports regardless of the topic, it can be anything and while there's polarizing personalities in the NBA they aren't as outlandish nor plentiful; some may disagree but that's how i see it.
i don't follow NHL but in my perception is they just "shut up and play"; maybe someone can opine on that.

He was forced to be irrelevant. That is a problem.
he should have been exiled, the way he handled his cause is likened to the people that kill people going in/out of abortion clinics...
maybe that's a bit drastic but turning you back on your country and taking the easy way out instead of fighting the fight at the state/county level is chickensh*t.
plus, all this done AFTER he realises he's becoming average at best...
He misses the limelight, plain and simple and that's why we see a random occurrence every once in a while, he wants to be in people's minds regardless of positive or negative, just like a 6 year old child, anything for attention.

probably a real dumb question but does Goodell's hypocrisy know no bounds? (and i get the pun there)
Am i the only one that thinks "only the F%$&&%# Patriots" get this? and on the cusp of them fielding the worst WR lineup in years?
I'm sure he's half the man right now but with the TB12 roid program, he'll be the deep threat version of Edelman by week 3...

I got a little action on the Bills when I was in Vegas in June. Odds were only 3 at that point. Must be the Jets fans are drinking the kool aid and changing the odds with their betting behavior. Half a point isn't much, but, it is a move.
i'm not much of a bettor but isn't the 3.5 a demarcation of the home team? so if the home team is -3.5 it's essentially even and they are calling out the "home field advantage"
-
now i know this is a sensitive topic and it should be taken seriously but concussion protocol can be initiated regardless of it truly being a concussion or not, there's no irrefutable proof here and it's done as a safety measure and i'm sure quite conservative in nature. I think this is all talk and speculation and not lending to the actual reality of whats going on.
i sit here and read this and can't help but think "What about Keuchly?" that guy has his own personal Quasimodo; by all accounts he should be drooling down the front of himself by now and yet he keeps trotting himself out there; and i'm not sure his position isn't just as dangerous.

their current center went from UDFA rookie to starter in the same year and held it; i mean how do you get that lucky considering what other teams have to go through to find proper talent.
there's something in the scheme (i know i'm not shocking anyone with that statement); it operates at a high level and fits all talent levels.
