Low Positive

I just went there and i see that. I have no idea, but AFAIK there are no take backs from those official inactive lists.

They are on the inactives list that the Bills released.

Teams could still sign players from other teams’ practice squads.

How about no in-season trading at all? The teams and the NFL media would never go for that, but I think teams should have to dance with what they came with.

Being British you may not know this, but you just described Major League Baseball. The season is 6 months long and the deadline is at the end of the fourth month. Every year there is a lot of discussion of which teams are buyers and which are sellers. Teams with strong financial situations can use the first four months as an evaluation period and fix it all at the deadline. The Atlanta Braves were one game under .500 in 2021 at the deadline. They revamped their team at the deadline by trading for 5 players and went on to win the World Series. A whole bunch of franchises serve as de facto development teams for the big market teams. It’s the same dynamic that saw Everton sell a peak Wayne Rooney to Manchester United. I want to avoid that for the NFL in any way possible. The fact that I’m saying all this as a bitter Reds fan doesn’t make it any less true.

He posted in the game week thread.

I don’t know about the Bills, but the Jets need to draft Kool-Aid McKinstry. A Sauce/Kool-Aid cornerback combo is just too good to pass up.

Yes. It’s open right now. Win it this year.

Josh does that all the time.

I hate how the Texans have the huge gap between the goal line and the painted area in the end zone.

You have to hand the ball off more to get the production.

The Texans can't stop the run, so the Eagles attempt a pass on third and short.

Just imagine this place if the Bills were tied with the Texans at HT.

Because they are ranked above the Bills in the various power rankings? That's all I can think of. IMO, they are a fun team to watch.

Imagine how irate you would be as an Eagles fan about getting run on like this by the Texans.

The Eagles run D will get tested. They play the Giants twice and the Titans. They also still have to play the Cowboys in Dallas. They'll lose a game or two.

The Eagles scored a TD without throwing the ball past the line of scrimmage.

Eagles almost lost to an awful Cards team and only beat the Jags at home by 8. Do they need to learn to dominate inferior competition? We get tricked into seeing them as perfect because we are only seeing highlights.

In the NBA a player's current team get what's called "Bird Rights," in that they can offer more money and an additional year. But as you point out, it doesn't work because players have every incentive to team up to form super teams in big/warm-weather markets. This doesn't apply to the NFL because there are no max contracts and there is a hard salary cap. If there was a soft cap (that teams can exceed by paying fines) in the NFL, the Dolphins would be a super team due to the weather and the sheer amount of NFL players that are from South Florida. The NBA makes NFL finances look sane. I just looked this up. The 2022-2023 salary cap in the NBA is $123.7 million. The Warriors payroll is $188.7 million. On top of that, they pay a luxury tax of $164.9 million. THEIR LUXURY TAX PAYMENT EXCEEDS THE SALARY CAP by $42 MILLION.

I would worry about Milano being out because he’s important in the run game. The only way the Jets win this is if they run it all over us. Or if Zach Wilson suddenly figures it all out. I think the running thing is much more likely.

You’re happy about this? The Pats had 20 + years to not worry about the division and as soon as we get good the Fins and Jets get good too? Seems to me that any Bills fan would be pissed about this.

This started with Shady in his rookie year.

The Raiders got so many firsts trading Mack and Cooper and they all busted

Remember, they traded their first for Russ. The first they just got is the 49ers 1st, which will be pretty late. So them sucking this year only gets the Seahawks a better pick.

Because Tua underthrows him, so he has to stop to catch the ball. Waddle and Geseki get the resulting TDs.
