Me either! Unless, of course, they were charging $14 for beers and neither of my hands were currently holding a beer... ?

Do you guys not go to big events? Feel like $12 - $14 is where we're at with the 24oz beer these days... Yeah, it's too expensive, but 'tis what it 'tis...

Studs / Duds from the Jets game: https://www.ganggreennation.com/2019/8/9/20798358/studs-duds-from-new-york-jets-preseason-opener-michael-nania All of Darnold's completions (note, they don't show that first pass where he was almost picked)! https://www.newyorkjets.com/video/highlights-all-of-sam-darnold-s-completions-vs-the-giants

At least we're not the Lions: "By halftime, the Lions trailed 20-0, were outgained 262-28 and were booed off the Ford Field turf. The final yardage difference: 459-93. That’s preposterous in any circumstance, and if nothing else, raises alarms about the Lions’ depth. No sense overreacting to one exhibition, but as long as the NFL insists on the charade, it warrants some reaction, and for the Lions, this was a disaster. If you can dig up anything positive, you clearly were over-served." https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/columnists/bob-wojnowski/2019/08/09/detroit-lions-show-absolutely-nothing-31-3-loss-new-england-patriots/1953966001/ Oof. And the Pats only played ONE starter?? WTF...

How did our AFCE competition do - anyone catch much? I watched Darnold's TD drive and while it ended in a TD, I didn't think it was overly impressive. The first pass he threw should have been picked, but then he went on to hit a couple guys who got some YAC. It was a nice TD throw (to a receiver that was breaking pretty open). I also caught this, but haven't watched yet - all of Other Josh's throws: EDIT: Watched Josh - some good throws, some bad ones, but he was definitely helped out by some nice, contested grabs! Still, not scared! I also saw that the Pats won 31 - 3, but didn't see ANY highlights from this one. Did Brady make it out alive? EDIT: A bit on the Pats: https://www.boston.com/sports/new-england-patriots/2019/08/09/5-takeaways-from-the-patriots-preseason-opening-win-over-the-lions Anyone have any other impressions on the competition?

Yeah dude, but the great ones hit 14 passes out of 11. Don't ask me how, I just know they do... ?

Jonathan Williams with 1st down - waiting for a 70 page thread...

Darnold should have been picked on his first pass of the game. After that he hit a RB who made a nice move for a 1st, then someone wide open who made a move and got some nice YAC. To my eye Darnold looked a little nervous in the pocket. Regardless, first pre-season game, we'll see more from all these guys - I liked what I saw out of Josh...

Caught a knee to the head / neck area looked like. Could be collarbone or concussion...

Sun in the eyes maybe? Looked like he lost tracking at the end... Or, he sucks. ?

GAME ON BABY! Happy 2019 Everyone Go Bills!!!

/ thread.

Is Hammer smoking a brisket over there or something? :Beer:

Oh Doc, if only they could all be like you...

This sums it up pretty perfectly: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/hard-knocks-power-rankings-raiders-premiere-stars-ronald-ollie-johnathan-abram-and-bad-hair/

Of his spleen.

Bay Area native w enough celeb pull to get passes. Like G Eazy...

Once Morse is healthy, we're going to cut Josh - Obviously. #OfficialyConcerned (tm)

The Raiders need a few more conductors on their train ride to Flavortown - Guy seems like he'd be a perfect fit... ?

Gilly? GILLY!? SUPER BOWL! The Colts are geniuses, McBuddy is asleep at the wheel...

Texting with a Jets fan that seems to think our O line sucks, that Allen is struggling and that signing Kalil was the best thing to happen to Darnold, per this article: https://www.nj.com/jets/2019/08/ryan-kalil-comes-out-of-retirement-to-join-jets-why-this-is-the-perfect-development-for-sam-darnold.html Can the season just start already??

Um, he's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Mitch pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious...

#OfficiallyConcerned

Nope, the Bills are the only team that ever has injuries, because Buffalo / McBeane / "That guy is soft"...

Totally with this take. All I'm saying is don't overreact either way (He's done! He's fine!), because we just don't know right now. The good news is, eventually it's all going to play out before our eyes... Also, GO BILLS!!
