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...

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!!

And I don't understand the people who have come to conclusions like he's done, or won't play in many games based on almost no information... Much like everything with the Bills, we'll know more, when we know more!

The correct response is "Allen is too short!!" ?

The first WYTS thread succumbed to the pressure of political nonsense and was put out of it's misery, soooo here we are again. Let's don't mess this one up... Felt like we *needed* it since it's Jags week! https://deadspin.com/why-your-team-sucks-2019-jacksonville-jaguars-1836813580 Some classics in there, but I'll let the board discover the Marrone lines yourselves ?
