With the extra week off between preseason and regular season due to the new cutdown rules, teams want to get starters a handful for reps.

I won't be there. So I hope everyone drinks a beer for me. And I promise to drink a beer for each, and every one of you.

On the 29th Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport's phones will melt from all the "signing" tweets. The competition will be fierce.

One man's trash is another man's treasure.

"Next guy that jumps offside gets cut!" Sorry, not a series answer.

Yes Nurse Diesel.

To a certain degree, a "reflection of the self." I think to a larger degree it's a manifestation of history. From the futility of the 70s and 80s (with a couple of sparks in there), to the SB years of the 90s, dwindling into the drought. For all the folks that have lived through all that sh...shtuff, they know how fleeting these opportunities can be. And in the grand scheme, 8-10 years is somewhat fleeting. Yes, we have a franchise QB and stop staff that could continue for several years. But we've sensed it is our time for the past couple of years, and sh...shtuff keeps happening. Frustration is a real thing.

I'm getting really amped up for this season. If goaltending holds up, should be a playoff season.

I'd rather listen to the teacher from the Peanuts. Much more interesting and entertaining.

Have your puke buckets ready, it'll be an Aaron Rodgers love-fest!

Be careful.....

Bills fan =

I selected winning Super Bowl. I'll always be a fan, and it's about winning. But I'm having doubts it'll ever happen. Here's why.... I came up with these numbers several months ago, so If I'm off, please pass it on. Of the 57 Super Bowls 30 of them have been won by just 6 teams. So more than half of the Super Bowls have been won by less than 20% of the league. There are 12 teams that still have not won one. In the previous 10 years 2 teams came of that list starting at 14 dropping to the current 12. Philly and Seattle. You could say LA Rams, but LA got a win previously as the LA Raiders. In the next 10 years, how many of those winless teams will come off that list? My guess; probably 2 again, maybe 3. Might not mean much to some of you, but for the older folks, it's something to think about. It doesn't change me as a fan, but it certainly changes my expectations. So to the point of the OP, I haven't thought much about players not giving their all. I feel it's more like the Bills aren't winning one as a Cinderella team, or a team that catches just enough breaks to pull one out. They'll have to be so dominant to be able to overcome the breaks that go the other way just to eek one out.

A lot of folks talking about the penalties, and it's obviously a concern. But this is what the Bills have done in the preseason the last couple of years. Maybe not the 13 level, but there's usually 1 or 2 games that spike. Last year's penalties by game: 11 for 90 yds 8 for 68 yds 3 for 20 yds. 2021 first game was 9 for 112 yds. The last 2 games dropped significantly. It just seems they go through this in preseason and sometimes in to the regular season, then things tend to settle down. I'm hopeful. Or perhaps it's just something I'm using to feel better.

They're just going to download everything he knows about the Jets, play him in the last preseason game, then the proverbial axe.

I was hopefully for Dorsey early on, but now my concern factor is elevating. His play designs and the offense looking very unprepared are the 2 things that stick out to me. There was one particular play in the 1st series where Allen hands off to Cook to his left. He had to take 2 to 3 steps to get the ball to him. What the heck is that? Allen was in the shotgun, but it didn't look like a draw. Why are you taking an extra second or 2 to hand the ball off. It just gives the defense that much more time to get penetration. The regular seasons games are the real barometer, but the doubts are creeping in.

I've been plucking nose hairs out since yesterday. I'm preparing myself in the event I'm stuck watching the game again.

That's me hanging on the bumper. I'm just going to let go.....

I usually listen every day. I may take a pass. I have enough misery in my life.

Welcome to #2 K. Allen

What happens when it doesn't make it? And if he shows up to camp, does he just pocket what's in the account and throw a big party?

How the heck did I miss half the season?!

Stadium's in the NFL are like Logans Run. Except 50 is the new 30. Highmark is going to "Carousel".
