The safest place is on the O coaching staff of an Allen quarterbacked team

That will be one of his most enduring images. In 0F weather, against the hated Pats**!!

Agreed. She has maximized her potential.

Winning the first would be fantastic. As with the Bills. The probability of those occuring in the near future is much higher than the Sabers lifting the Stanley 🙂

I follow tennis but havent seen the rules of such schedule conflicts. My best guess is that Singles take precedence and they have a minimum time between matches for players. As for stamina, these top players practice for hours before their actual matches so it shouldnt be an issue with back to back matches. As long as JP gets time for a change, comfort break and nutrition+hydration, she should be fine to play back to back matches. Plus a doubles game doesnt sap the energy as much as a singles game. On a related note, it was another fantastic match between Nadal and Djokovic today. I just am in awe of these guys who play so hard for 4+ hours and can still sprint about the court.

Thanks to all that served and serve. We mere mortals can never live up to what you do.

Can listen to that any time

Yes, I really hope Miami gives him another 4 years and see if he blossoms. Meanwhile, we will continue to kick their collective rears in an effort to notch up the largest average points of victory over a 6 year period. 😁

To keep the tradition going, why don't you consider starting the weekly thread but just posting "Wow" or "Dang"?

If there is little statistical evidence of results being affected due to teams overlooking their next opponent, then it is a theoretical concept only. Which means that trap games dont exist, just the concept does. I look to the KC loss against the Bengals. It meets all the definitions of trap game yet I dont believe they overlooked the Bengals. They had dug deep into their reserves to beat the Bills and were unable to replenish in time for their next game.

I thought it ended in "bored of scr**ing her"

At the risk of sounding like a broken record in multiple threads, the next assets we spend should go towards the OL and maybe a speedy WR (if one becomes available). Enough with the spending on D!

Hence my disappointment. There is no other position group on this team which has such uncertainties. Cant expect Allen to always mask the deficiencies. I realize the "value" may not have been there but I would have preferred an OL pick instead of Cook. I dont have anything against Cook, but protection is relatively more important. I still hope Beane can swing a trade or some aging vet comes free.

The way I see it, the lack of a speedster limits the advantage we have in Allen's arm. But that is not a fatal flaw to the receiving game as a whole. John Brown is the one who gave Allen a consistent deep threat. Sanders was almost washed up and was no good. So we will be no worse than the 2021 season in that regard. Stevenson is just a hope so we can't base the strategy on him suddenly performing well. But overall, we should have a more balanced passing game with lot of step ups in the short to medium passing game. Perhaps the long yards are going to come from medium completions + YAC

Coach can only do so much . But if the line indeed takes a step up, it will point to Bobby Johnson as having been a problem

This is my single biggest concern about this roster, and also a source of frustration about the relative lack of attention to an area which is critical to protecting Allen. Beane did say after the season ended, that we need to protect Allen more. This is the single area where I don't see his words followed by adequate action. ' Besides OL, I dont see any position as short staffed.

You mean that in TC, the DB that doesn't intercept Peterman is cut? 😁

Good story! You have to go with your feelings when selecting a job. Trust it worked out for you.

Packers @ Bills has long been my other wet dream

I should have seen this before I typed in every Bills game into my calendar. My annual routine, a particularly satisfying one today

My annual calendar is now updated.

Comedies do indeed have broader appeal

From a football perspective, Rams-Bills would be a compelling match up. Any opening day match up that includes Cowboys, Giants, 49ers is not due to football reasons.
