Maybe he needs a little time away from the "fiery competitor" who was screaming at him while he was trying to figure out the defense on a Surface and the OL who left him with 0 time to throw and a good covering of bruises. If I were Diggs or Allen, though, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for Eli Apple to cover that couples counseling.

Our ESPN reporter Alaina Getzenberg may have been chided for being negative in reporting JA wouldn't participate. Note the two exclamation points after promoting ESPN+ and the positive wording about the Pro-Am

He's playing in the Pebble Beach Pro-Am So for whatever it's worth, I'm told that is not the case. The thing that gets strained in golfing, "Golfers Elbow", is a tendon on the inside of the arm.

I want to give the Chiefs props for drafting well. You're also absolutely correct, that the Chiefs are still winning despite paying Mahomes because they have found rookie production. They are following a "Stars and Guys" model. A couple points though - how do you define "starter"? Some of those guys you have as starters, like J. Williams, only started a handful of games and overall played about 1/3 of the defensive snaps. Others like Karlaftis, started and saw the majority of the the snaps early in the season but then fell to 40%-50% 2nd half - which may be injury limitations, or may not be a good sign. When something like that happened with our 1st round pick Ed Oliver, we were pretty negative about it. 6 sacks and 11 QB hits though, very good. We would also be very negative if we drafted a WR in the 2nd round as the Chiefs drafted Sky Moore, and he wound up with 22 receptions for 250 yds. It's not that far off from 5th round WR Khalil Shakir 10 receptions on 161 yds. 14 PR for 6.1 y/r and 3 kick returns for 16.7 y/r also not Pacheco looks like a total late round gem though, and looks like from their 11 draft picks the Chiefs got at least 4 guys who can play well in the league, so that's good. Anyway just a counterpoint that labeling so many of these guys "starters" may be a bit off, depending on how "starter" is defined, and that if the Bills got comparable production from a couple of high round draftees, there would be a lot of carping and criticism from Bills fans I wanted Tyler Linderbaum, myself. He can play guard, and my idea would be start him at guard for a year then move him over when we move on from Morse. Went two picks later, at the Bills original #25 pick. He looks great so far. At our original 2nd round pick #57 Cam Taylor Britt would have been available to fill the CB need. What do you think of Skyy Moore?

If it's 6 months vs 3-6 weeks, could be a more serious tear or, a complete tear Will be interesting if they decide to do surgery vs. letting it heal and seeing if scar tissue forms - that worked for Carson Palmer

I didn't hear that, do you know where and when? I know some people here misinterpreted Allen saying (going into OTAs) that last off-season he took the most time off and did the least training he's done, but came in beating all his metrics. I don't think Allen meant "he didn't train". Again, I think people are misinterpreting what Allen said. I don't think he said he "didn't think about football at all" Either way, I don't think Allen feels comfortable with where he is football-wise at this point.

I know that the Bills value versatility. Maybe they value versatility a little bit too much. I don't get the analogy to Cole Beasley. No one reported that the Bills had asked Beasley to adjust his salary. He went in and asked for a trade because he didn't want to be in Buffalo any more, when the Bills couldn't trade him they cut him (and no one picked him up until what, October?) Morse does not miss games every year. He played a 16 games (full season) in 2019 and 17 games in 2021.

I don't feel confident in Bates as a long-term answer at C. My ideal would be to draft the biggest, brawliest C/G we can this season, let him play G and learn this year, and move him to C next year. You aren't going to free up much cap space by releasing Morse. Spotrac is usually accurate, but I think they're inaccurate here, Morse carries $6M dead cap (by their own accounting). We save $5M on the cap, which is chump change for opening a hole "Very good NFL quality center" which we then may have to fill.

I'm not a golfer, but I do know that there are different elbow injuries, and that the common "golfer's elbow" involves inflammation of tendons, not the UCL. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golfer's_elbow But, if you're concerned, why not reach out to Banged Up Bills one way or another and ask if he has any input on the stress a golf swing might put on an injured UCL?

Why do you believe Josh didn't work with Jordan Palmer last off-season?

I think Diggs may have someone in mind

1. What examples do you have of instances where a HC is fired and one of his coordinators gets the HC gig? I can't think of any, but maybe I'm missing something 2. Just what do you mean by "threat to his job"? Daboll took a HC gig and took the Giants to the Divisional round in a year most people thought was slated for "rebuilding". Wouldn't that show he was a "threat to McDermott's job"?

Why? OC for 4 years Offensive rank those 4 years 6, 17, 1 and 4 Rush yards 5, 17, 9, and 9 Very different offensive structure, based on running the ball and getting lots of YAC. I dunno about those 9 out of 10 teams, but we'll never know because we'll never have a situation where Dorsey vs. Moore is the choice

Fair point My point was that those throwing stones at the 49ers for "selling out" to get CMC and not getting a SB for it, should look in a Bills framed mirror because one can look at the Bills moves from the same perspective - "selling out" to get Von Miller only to have him lost

I can't love it when the zebras and their laundry take an unfair toll But if the penalties impacted the Bengals more than the Chiefs, the Bengals have no one to blame but their own selves. I had a look at the penalties in the Gamebook Bengals 9 penalties for 71 yds Chiefs 4 penalties for 55 yds But The Chiefs were called for a 20 yd DPI while the Bengals only an 8 yd DPI Both teams were called for 2 OH (the Chiefs for a 3rd that was decline), but the Chiefs actually had a TD called back on an OH penalty and settled for a FG in the 1Q I think the difference was in what I would call "player controlled" penalties The Bengals had 4 -Illegal touching for 5, delay of game 5, intentional grounding for 9 yds, and of course the "unnecessary roughness" penalty for 15, entirely legit The Chiefs had 1 - taunting for 15 yds, which arguably gave the Bengals better field position and helped Cincy to a TD when Mahomes fumbled 3 plays later. Basically, if the Bengals had cut their stupid penalties even in half with the illegal touching and UR, which they controlled and which were avoidable and dumb, the officiating would have been pretty equitable If anything, KC had bigger penalty impacts because they had a TD called back and a 20 yd DPI against them.

https://www.nfl.com/news/chargers-expected-to-hire-ex-cowboys-oc-kellen-moore-as-new-offensive-coordinato I kind of feel sorry for Justin Herbert TBH. I don't think Moore is the man to craft a great offense from what the Chargers have.

The 49ers have no QB to pay though. 2 rookies. They have an interesting roster situation. They have $13M in cap Christian McCaffrey is signed through 2025 They can actually save money on Bosa's $17.86M cap hit by signing him to a long term contract.

I'm not sure of your point? Sure, they came up short having to play a 4th string QB then a 3rd string QB with an injured arm. One could say the Bills came up short(er) playing whoever in place of Von Miller, our 2nd and 3rd string NT, and playing 3rd and 4th string safeties They still came up short, meaning the throw of resources into this year didn't work out for them. And so did we, meaning the same.

I had the same reaction "Saffold? WTF?"

I think the amount of resources invested in DL (not just draft but FA $$) absolutely has hurt other aspects of the team. And yes, other teams do rotate on DL and need to have decent depth, but the starters may take more like 70% -80% of the snaps The problem, though, hasn't been the resources per se but that so many of them have not worked out - Star Lotulelei signed for the big bucks, maybe gave the Bills a single? strong year, Vernon Butler zero good year, Harrison Phillips 3rd round pick, Ed Oliver 1st round. So we had to move on and overpay for different FA. Then the draft picks. Overall, we had 3-1st round picks (Oliver, Shaq, Rousseau) and 3 2nd round picks (Epenesa, Basham, Jordan Phillips) in that game, and couldn't get there. Zay Jones was 100% a McDermott pick. At the time our WR coach had been Zay Jones college coach and that was His Guy.

The latter. The players learn to play the sideline starting in PeeWee The players who play in good college programs and the pros absolutely are the ones who can perform full go athletically while being aware of where they are on the field, where other players are on the field etc. He was an idiot and you could tell after the game he knew it

He did say "who do you believe the Bills have drafted"? 2017 Milano Tre White 2018 Josh Allen Tremaine Edmunds - if he repeats this year and improves a bit, like Milano, people will start to notice Wyatt Teller 😈 2019 Dawson Knox - I think on a team that used him properly, he will get there 2020 and on - May be too soon to tell, but I'm leaning towards "no one" Question: What is the answer if you ask this question of the Eagles, 49ers, Chiefs, and Bengals?

Didn’t even have to pull up but he reached out and shoved him, well after both of them crossed the sideline. Clear and stupid foul

There are ticky-tack roughing or personal fouls called at times but this wasn’t one of them.

LOL if that was Josh Allen we’d be outraged. Football players learn to play the sidelines from flag and from peewee Don’t shove the player after he’s clear out of bounds This one wasn’t even close
