Or, you could see it as a guy who has been stuck trying to catch passes from DeShaun Watson the past two seasons and would like to be on a winning team A 3rd round pick is just about right when you don't have to pay the guy this year, and he's not under contract for next year either

ease up champ, I was only talking about the defensive similarities

This team reminds me a bit of the 1991 Bills Our best defender, Bruce Smith was out for most of the season with an injury Safeties - Leonard Smith was in his last year and had little left in the tank from an athletic perspective. Mark Kelso = Damar Hamlin, always playing super deep and getting trucked in run support Defensive tackle, Jeff Wright was undersized and more penetrator than run plugger We played a ton of bend-don't-break, hoping for turnovers, and just trying to make the opponents sustain long drives It didn't help back then that our offense, no matter how much they scored, were last in time of possession We even had a kicker that had missed a big one the year before and you knew couldn't be trusted any longer

His voice itself is cringe-worthy. Doesn't have that "announcer" type sound and cadence that a fan would be looking for On top of that, he just doesn't shut up. Take a breath and come up for air once in awhile. Let the play-by-play guy have some space to frame out the events and status of what's going on And lastly, he's Tom Freaking Brady. He can eat a bag of d*cks for all eternity

I predict that we still have 13 games left to play in the regular season

I felt like going into the game that we should have tried some 5 man fronts with 2 LB's instead of expecting Cam Lewis and the safeties to do all the heavy lifting I think that would have forced the Ravens to approach their blocking for the run game differently as well as have bigger bodies on the field for early downs I was in the upper upper deck of the stadium so it was difficult to see all the details, but it seemed like we continually fell right into their game plan and by the time we adjusted in the 2nd half, it was far too late

Much of our success right now is due to the fact that all of our WR's are willing and capable blockers You can see the huge difference vs past seasons just in these last 3 games Is DeAndre Hopkins gonna give us that unselfish play? Highly unlikely

I think that we're probably going to pay Benford vs paying for a top $$ WR Shakir is going to get his 2nd contract too - but just not for the crazy top of market $$ that these #1 WR's are getting these days

It's an absolute given that he gets a new contract this off-season This is EXACTLY the kind of player that you should give a second contract to And if it's top of market based on performance, then you deal with it

This growing trend probably explains why Denver drafted a noodle arm like Bo Nix. The catch is - the guy actually needs to be able to throw downfield successfully in order to keep defenses honest

Wow - this guy's career is going downhill fast He's already in JaMarcus Russell territory even without the purple drank

I'm confident that things will work themselves out naturally. You can't judge Bishop's readiness after a few minutes of garbage time play Taron will still be out for a few more weeks There will be more injuries

It depends how long your tolerance is for sitting in traffic or how far you're willing to walk to and from the stadium. We usually park at the corner of California & Southwestern. Usually, it's critical to get there before 8:30 since the lines to get into the stadium lots are already backed up a long way and it's difficult to get to the lot. This week, we got to the area around 8:15, and still sat in traffic on California for about 15 minutes. But any later and it would have been a whole ton worse I think that everyone is agreeing that you need to plan 30-45 minutes earlier than what you were previously accustomed to. That's just the reality of what we're facing the next several years until the old stadium is torn down and parking spaces are back to pre-2023 levels

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

You're definitely going to hear a wide range of opinions on this topic - in previous posts, people have been very loud, and often defensive on both sides of the issue. I'm 50 years old and love to be in the fun sections where everyone stands for most of the game and enjoys the rowdiness and camaraderie Will I still feel that way when I'm 65? Who knows Will it be very different at the new stadium? Almost certainly

I get the criticism here, but I think that the benefits outweigh the potential negatives Too many OC's (and head coaches) fail because their egos make them behave like they have to be the smartest guys in the room Their schemes are always right - it's the players fault that they don't execute properly Players buy in more when they're engaged and feel like they are part of the process It's the same in sports as it is in business Personally, I've always hated working for a VP or Director that never listens to my ideas. When that happens, I just pull back, cash my paycheck and wait for them to get promoted or leave the organization. NFL players behave the same way

Bruce Smith sure as s*** wasn't in a rotation

2008 - we were 4-0 with the greatest QB/coach combo in NFL history! What could go wrong???

whatever the answer is, I don't think that our #2 QB is currently on the roster

Many years at cutdown time, Beane has been able to trade players that might not make the team for late round draft picks, instead of losing them for nothing The recent rash of Injuries notwithstanding, it's always an interesting exercise to think about who might be candidates for outbound trades before Tuesday's cutdown At least going into training camp, the feeling was that this was a deep talented team, with a ton of rookies that we want to keep and develop, and decent vendor depth to also battle for spots. As I mentioned, injuries have certainly impacted this discussion, but I still think there's a good amount of candidates, especially in the position groups that haven't been hit has hard so far Will Clapp - he's probably the 10th OL, so it largely depends on if the staff decides that they need a seasoned vet in a backup role, as our 6th-9th lineman currently are likely all rookies or unseasoned players (Vandemark, SVPG, Anderson, Grable) La'el Collins - similar to Clapp, but probably less likely that we could get a draft pick for a guy who's probably washed up DeShawn Williams - personally I want to keep 5 DT's, but there might not be room if other position groups need more depth Casey Toohill - has really not had a chance to show much, but even then, he really has zero chance to make the team with what Solomon has showed so far Ty Johnson - definitely a longshot, but RB's are a dime a dozen and I'd be willing to see what Evans or Gore Jr could bring. But who actually trades for RB's? Joe Andreessen - the board would likely implode, but it would be something to see...

I think that it's very possible that both sides are at fault here: Flores clearly, especially in his first head coaching opportunity, tried to be too much of the tough guy, and utilized mostly old-school methods which have become less and less effective in guiding today's athletes. Also, having a defensive background, didn't have the skill set or experiences to help a rookie QB develop Tua for his part, has not proven to be the toughest or most resilient athlete. Of course he's going to flourish much more under a guy like McDaniel with his offensive coaching background who has done a good job of building a system around Tua's skills, while mitigating his weaknesses as much as possible. However, it doesn't fix those deficiencies, and coaching and schemes can only help so much. We've probably already seen Tua's ceiling as a player - he's not going to put his body on the line, and he isn't capable of high-level improvisation or throwing off schedule like the truly great QB's need to be in today's game

Tin foil hats are apparently popular head gear all year round...

I'll be watching on the NFL Network but curious if they'll be using the Bills home feed or the Bears away feed. One of those options is not like the other

We will see what flavor of bust he turns out to be starting Saturday
