Beck Water

Anyone know? I woulda thought that 3 days off would be about enough to get some PT/heal up a bit, get a massage and start to feel better, maybe have a "date night" with your partner and do something special with your kids, but not to fly out of town and fly back, especially commercial. OTOH, for players with family out of town, especially elders, it's a chance to catch up on the missed Thanksgiving visits.

Since it's a Slow Bills Discussion Week lol Of course, they're highly sanitized and we get a lot of "Don't Blink!" and "LetsGoooooo" and "Good *****" But one of the things that surprises me is how talkative guys are. In coverage, not this most recent segment but a previous segment, Poyer is yapping constantly at the guy he's covering - not trash talk, just "I'm here. I'm right here. I'm still here. I'm right on your ass." There's clearly a mind-game saying to the receiver "you didn't shake me, if you're targeted expect to get nailed" Uses the guy's number so he doesn't mistake Po for trash-talking someone else. Then how talkative the offensive players are in defense of one another. Again, not trash talk, but Davis running full speed up to Diggs who was just tackled in the midst of a cloud of defenders saying as he arrives "Hey! Hey hey hey hey hey I'm here, I'm right here, I'm here" then "I gotcha" to Diggs. Again, a mind game saying to the DBs "if you want to start something with my man I'm right here to finish it" Wonder what the language would be if they weren't miked up LOL

"We caught him running one time, and he lowered his shoulder pads, and I say "oh, it's the QB, you think you want to lower your pads, like Get Going!" BAM! I woke up, you see them little blinks, you're like hey wait a minute now" Von Miller said it before the rest of the league, "he's got a stiff arm like Deion Sanders and you better have a plan when you go to tackle him". The reporters were all like "you're kidding" and Von was "No, I'm serious!"

TBH, I think the Dolphins offense is kind of built on the same model: Put top-notch talent around the QB, and have a QB who can do just enough with it to win. If the guy can make the reads and distribute the ball, he can win. Bill Belicheck seems to be trying for the same model with Mac Jones, only it works better when you have an actual NFL level OC and offensive coaching talent driving the bus, plus, IMHO Jones needs an Attitude Adjustment

I think it's called "going to the Well once too often". Elway brought in Manning on a RentATitle move, and he's been trying to reprise ever since. Keenum? Miracle in Minneapolis, he can play now, bring him in! Flacco? He won a SB on a perennially competitive Ravens team, Bring Him In! Wilson? Best QB in the league, he told us so himself, buy him that professional range to Let Russ Cook! At some point, a team has to draft and develop talent

to @PatsFanNH , don't know how long you've been around but when the Pats were the Beasts in the East behind Brady and we were perennially looking up to them, the Pats getting unfair numbers of comp picks (or being awarded a comp pick for other teams miscues) was a running gag here.

Welp, This Aged Well (Edit: not that I didn't agree with you when you posted it)

Only a few tid-bits https://buffalonews.com/sports/bills/odell-beckham-jr-to-von-miller-on-trip-to-bills-it-was-a-good-visit/article_8541d2b2-7405-11ed-9d38-9bf9224f2ceb.html but then there's this Opinion piece from TBN new reporter Ryan O'Halloran: We all see Tre White, he's only just now getting back into it. There's real question about how much and when Beckham will be able to contribute, if he's not working out while on these visits. There's no question the Beckham the Rams had for their playoff push would be a huge add. A Beckham not up to full go, who has to be kept on the roster and worked into the offense while Beane juggles personnel at other positions on and off the PS, could be a distraction. O'Halloran ends with this: Really? Which is it? The Bills NEED Beckham as the final piece of the Superbowl puzzle, OR they have the goods without him? Because I don't think both can be true.

To quote McD, nothing is given, everything is earned. But that goes for the Chiefs too. Raiders play them tough, 1 point loss. Seahawks can be a good team.

Colts Oh man, you gotta catch those Taylor 👑

On the one hand, I do feel that Greg Cosell had a point that the Bills don’t have a huge amount of talent on offense, and maybe we need a star to push us over the top. I feel like when the Bills win a Superbowl none of us will really care who the national press spotlights. The Lombardi cures all. On the other hand, I sort of feel as though while it’s true the Bills have Diggs, and no one else as their stars, we’re kind of parallel to the Bills defense in that without big stars, we kind of formed a whole that was greater than the sum of its parts. And now we do have a star in Diggs. And hired guns are always risky. They can shake things up in a positive way, or in a negative way. The only thing would be fully negative is if the Bills sign someone and do Tre White Part Deux where a guy is on the roster taking up a slot but not ready to play..

Thank you for a note of sanity. In Beane We Trust

Personally I think Gilmore got away with DH there, but Edit: if not DPI

Finally funny graphics from NBC: Colts have had an unSTABLE situation at QB.

I’m worried about losing Von

Jeesh, no one can tackle that beanpole Lamb I’m a little concerned this is going to become a route of the Ponies now

I missed the helmet slam. Anyone tweet it out or something? Would love to see Kelce is beautiful when he looks so sad. I bet he’d look even more beautiful after a game if he looked even more sad

Any updates on Tua’s ankle?

Didn’t see a thread, mods please lock or move if I missed it Currently Indianapolis 10 - Dallas 7 Colts aren’t playing like a joke so far.

Exactly right! Drive fast, drive carefully, Boys!

My goodness what an ending

“Big Throw Joe”

Kelce looks as though he is going to cry

My heart, My heart

C’Mon Bengals don’t Bungle this!
