He was a FA and Texans could pay him more, better chance to play, and Texas is home.

There is a stark difference between what is morally correct and what is best for the NFL. Canceling games in a sport where every game counts so much will completely up-end the NFL. It almost did last year. Some (Cincy) could argue that it definitely did. If this were baseball or hockey, sure. But games are valuable and schedules are tight. I was there for Kevin Everrett being paralyzed on the opening kickoff. It was a life threatening situation. There wasn't even an inclination of canceling or postponing that game. Right or wrong, football has played through major life threatening injuries throughout its history. There is also a small part of me that wonders how much the canceling of the Cincy game contributed to our "zombie state" we saw the next 3 weeks. Morally the right thing to do. But was it the right Football thing to do? Tough one to hash out on a message board.

Dont care about the preseason games. Good for those coaches that called it after the injuries. Although I feel bad for the guys who may not have had a chance to play yet and needed the playing time to get on some film. It will be really interesting to see how the NFL plays out with regular season games. I'm pretty sure the league is ABSOLUTELY AGAINST canceling games like McD did. That may be the last time we see such a thing.

Anyone kicking the tires?

How is his spleen tho?

Or is he faking his own death?

This is all about "on paper". And on paper, it's tough to argue against their position. The main difference in the Bills favor is how much better Josh is than Tua.

He was dead the second he stopped. Once he started he had to go all the way. Stopping was just as good as killing himself.

The funniest part of this is that us old guys see this post and think he must have been a child model in like the early 80s. Turns out all his work was in the 2000s.

It's not a cynical take. It's the realistic take given who signs their paychecks. Your understanding and expectations of this specific person and situation are inaccurate. You are lumping all "broadcasters" together as equals. They are not.

Ok, you can "disagree" with it all you want. But short of writing a letter to Tasker and the Bills about his job description and duties, it is what it is whether you agree with it or not. Prepare to be disappointed. Those are YOUR expectations. Yes it is.

You seem to be spiraling on this, when it shouldnt be much of a shock to anyone who understands what Steve Tasker's job truly is. He is NOT an independent journalist trying to give us scoops. He is NOT an outside analyst trying to give objective breakdowns. He IS hired and paid BY THE BILLS to promote and market their team. He does his radio show from the Bills' offices. It's on you the listener to understand his motives and keep a proper frame of mind when listening to his entertainment show. Also, understand that ALL sports media at its very core is nothing more than marketing arms of the professional sports leagues.

Right, no one likes Jim Harbaugh. The rest of the family is cool tho.

"When did Van Miller become such a homer for the Bills?!?" @Mister Defense in 1990, probably

Jim is a goof, but John, their dad Jack, and mom Jacqueline, are all good peeps.

Then who plays RG? Bates? IMO, [Dawkins LT, Torrence RG] >>> [Torrence LT, Bates RG]

100% yes. Not going to be Torrence. We didnt draft him for LT.

Then go get a left tackle.

Classic Einstein. Doesnt understand what he is looking at. Just sees "guy on ground = bad". Brown made that block and sprung the runner. Nothing to complain about. Here is the screen shot taken merely half a second earlier that changes everything and shows the truth: Huge hole and free lane for Murray to run through untouched. He cant/shouldnt play anywhere but RG. He even has trouble at LG. Enough with all this shuffling the deck and making guys play out of position. If we need a RT, then get a true RT.

The folks in charge of the PAC-12 could not have messed this up any more than they did.

That wasnt bad. He gets off that quick, and often gets under the shoulder pads to get good control. They wont call any of that. Especially a OG on DT. They can get away with all that pretty easily. Kid looks solid. 👍

Grabbing the outside of the lower chest pad with your elbows in will totally fly. That's proper technique. It's when the hands go to the outside of the upper shoulder pads, and/or you get your elbows up/out and arms extended that they'll get you.

Those are actually all pretty sweet jerseys. No shame in any of them.

Wonder what he'd do for a Kiko Alonso jersey
