This 100%. McD is smart to go with Crowder on PR and Slot in such a game over a rookie. Shakir will get his opportunities this season, but last night it wasnt in the cards. I think we kept all 3 RBs active because they didnt fully trust Cook yet either and he proved that right. Hence the healthy dose of Moss. Agreed the DBs are playing because they have no other choice, and our Safeties can help them out.

Harrison and Simms commented on it in the pregame. They said they spent time at the Bills camp, and the team looked and felt just like they did in camp during warm-ups. That they were loose, having fun, yet laser focused. Couldnt ask for a better way to play the game.

Yes, because I love touchdowns.

Yes. That sounds about right because I remember mentioning to my wife at about 11:10pm that it was nice the game didnt run too late, as it was already over

He was laughing and smiling through the whole game, after every run. He was loose and having fun. All there is to it.

I too was baiting while watching our offense last night

No.

Probably not, but could see it. Living and recruiting in Atlanta. Low expectations at GT, and a built in excuse due to academic standards. And if he has a few successful years here and lifts the program up a couple rungs, then could position himself for the Florida State job. (Assuming he'd go back to FSU, I've heard rumors that's not a great relationship)

I wont knock hype posts -4 hours from kickoff of the season opener. Bring em on. LFG!!!!!!!

Same. I'm confident we'll be making a run at the Super Bowl, one way or another. I'm confident we are the better team on paper tonight. But opening night... Hyped up in LA... And we dont have the best opening track record... Plus, anything can happen with these weird games. My heart says Bills by a Billion. But my brain says 50/50.

Are we being productive here? I use this place as an excuse to be UNproductive at work. Or rather INproductive!

Most players and their agents dont want to sign deals that long. And neither do teams. Things happen. Injuries, etc. Plus players want to cash in on the ever inflating cap. 4-5 years is the sweet spot for contracts. Especially for extensions which are technically a year longer considering the existing deal.

I'm excited to see what Dorsey dials up coming from the background of being a fairly successful QB. I think he could elevate Josh's game to a whole new level. Let's ***** go.

He'll be gone next year when they hire Sean Payton.

You feel bad for a guy who has lived a very charmed life, is married to an IG model, has already earned $36M by 32 years old, is lined up to win a Super Bowl, and will likely make another $20M+ in free agency with another team before retiring at 35?

huh? WE(?) arent basing anything off anything since this is just a discussion and does not apply to what actually happens.

Google the articles of how Uber went after last year's prime time games. Folks stranded at the stadium until 2am and beyond. I'd have everyone chip in for a cheap rental. Totally worth it.

No love for Manny?!?

Exactly. For the players that want a new deal but arent getting one (Poyer, Edmunds), they should be even more motivated to ball out for us this year to maximize their value in FA. Love it.

Technically true, but when we win the SB this year and Gabe has a breakout year, he will want a new contract this offseason. And he isnt wrong to do so. Better to plan on it and be ready. (But I dont have the same amount of worry about any of it that the poster you were responding to does. Beane will get if done)

$13-14M is totally affordable. Amazon and Apple money hasnt even kicked in yet.

Yep, $13M-14M/yr is perfect. MAGIC BEANES!

LETS GOOOOOOOO!!!!!

I need to go back and watch the entire 30min but I believe Josh specifically mentioned this in his chat with Chris Simms. IIRC, he didnt say he purposely overthrows them but more along the lines of, if he is going to err, it is going to be an overthrow so it doesnt get picked off.

That was one (really the only name I noticed), and I dont love him that much. He certainly doesnt jump off the page as "oh man we really missed out on a future HoFer". Especially compared to what Beane did with the WR group anyways. If there is any criticism it is the 2nd round Cody Ford pick over the plethora of Pro-Bowl WRs that were picked in the 2nd round.
