The DL rotates. The DBs dont. Rousseau wasnt close to starting over Hughes and Addison.

Agreed Hurts will get MVP. But that team is going to the Super Bowl. Especially in the NFC. Maybe the 9ers have a shot, but that will be tough with Purdy.

He was an unquestioned starter while competing with the likes of EJ Gaines, Leonard Johnson, and Lafayette Pitts for playing time. We started Nathan Peterman as a rookie that year too. Heck, all the rookies started considering the lack of talent on the team, Beane wanting to see what he had as he took over, and the Bills' sights set on drafting a QB as high as possible the next year. Tre was great right out of the blocks, I wont deny that. But the situation, and talent levels, were completely different. He wasnt coming to an established team with talented vets in an established system. Elam mostly got playing time early this year for the same reason Benford and JaMarcus Ingram got playing time. Injuries forced the rookies in. We'll see how he develops.

Folks are fliping out, but yall need to realize that if everyone (Tre) had been healthy from the start of the season then this is exactly what we would have been seeing all along. With no big worry as to when the kid would develop. Tre obviously has the #1 spot down. And even with the 1st round pedigree, the 3 year vet has the edge over Elam. We'll see if/when the kid can develop and beat out the vet but I'd be surprised if it happened this year. I'll start to get concerned if he is still sitting next year.

One is for her family's costs, the other is specifically a fund to get her a handicapped van. They should be titled at the top. Donating to both made sense to me. Good question tho. I wondered the same thing.

Surprising no one with their corruption and incompetency, the NCAA screwed up the "pay the players" issue resolution by taking the easiest way out. The NIL idea is the worst possible solution to that issue. But it's the quickest and easiest one for them. The NCAA is such a joke.

If I'm a student studying Chemistry on an academic scholarship, I can transfer schools anytime I want. If I'm the Head Coach of the Football team, I can leave anytime I want for any better offer from any school. Often with a simple text message to the children who I recruited and promised their parents I would look after them and help them become men. Bye! The portal is just. And it is fine.

Well I'm glad HE is in a good headspace. He has 2 Super Bowl rings and is still making millions of dollars. I, on the other hand... NOT DOING SO WELL HERE! Which is what makes this story even more crazy. His ENTIRE PRO CAREER! https://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/2018/07/buffalo_bills_hof_rb_thurman_thomas_played_entire_career_with_partially_torn_acl.html

Russell Wilson still exists.

And all next year too like Tre?

It's the only way we can get him to the PS, as risky as it may be.

This is great. But to be clear, Allen is NOT writing a check for $10M. He is signing on a s spokesperson to help legitimize a new (but established) charity venture. And he is kicking in some cash to help buy $10M worth of debt for far lower cost. Debts usually sell at a percentage of their value. This charity already does this with medical debt, where they buy a bunch at a small price and then forgive it. Good on Josh no matter what. This is a great organization doing good things. But it's not simply writing a check.

Yep, just like Josh's elbow injury. Tua's concussions. Heck, Jimmy G's injury came while scrambling barely out of the pocket on a pass play. The pocket is the most dangerous place for a QB to be. MORE designed runs to keep Josh healthy please!

And in that time across 3-4 weeks, only about 4 real days of practice with weather, illness, travel, and injuries.

It's a nice story for the Bengals, and good for them and their fans after being bad for so long. I know we can all relate. But gtfo of here with bringing the Bills into it and comparing them at all. As if this isnt something our boys would ever do, or havent done already.

Congrats, you invented the basic running play.

It doesnt really go in order. Like Houston doesnt have to say "no" before they ask the 2nd team. There is a waiver window where anyone/everyone can put in a claim, and then at the end of that window, he goes to the lowest team that said "yes". They all have the same 24 hours.

But a maul is a maul. It's a slow, hard, straight push. Not a high-speed hit to the head or knee. Not a twist or juke with their foot stuck in astro turf. The amount of padding doesnt matter when you are in a simple sledding drill.

If someone picks him up off waivers, they are on the hook for $1.3M remaining for this year. That's it.

Jackson to Atlanta sure feels right.

Far less injuries in Rugby where this is far more common. Straight line pushing is usually pretty safe. It's the open field jukes and cuts, the open field tackles, and the big hits in the passing game, where most injuries happen. Heck, more QBs are injured taking hits while standing in the pocket (Josh's elbow) than in one of these mauls.

Yes! Some guys just need time to develop. Some guys that's a full decade. 🤣 Maybe a team who needs a vet QB, like the Jets, can get on the phone and trade a couple of 1sts for him!

It's blowing my mind that anyone who knows football beyond the 2000s would say it isnt in the spirit of the game. It IS the original spirit of the game!

How is that a bad thing over trickeration that subverts a more talented team's athletic and physical abilities?
