Link to video showing all of the new modified kickoffs from yesterday's game.
I was not up for watching the game last night, but I was definitely interested in the new kickoffs. Fortunately, Chicago made a compilation of all of the kickoffs from the game last night. Here it is for those interested...

The camp battle nobody saw coming...
They both have advantages and disadvantages, and both seem to have some decent upside. Not sure how they're gonna make that decision, especially since Davidson has already been on the PS twice before.

It was always cheating. Good for them for clarifying it, but I don't see how it needed to be clarified. This isn't the CFL.
I know, right? I don't understand this at all.

Ho ho ho. It's not like the Pats going with a 6th rounder as their QB1 has ever hurt us before.... 🙄
Seriously. How soon we forget.

As an update, I got my appointment email today. It was a link to a web site where you can pick your day/time from the options available.
As mentioned before, it's only M-F, 9 to 5. It had options for the entire month of August, so it wasn't like I only had a single week to choose from. That said, as I was looking over the options, the available openings were disappearing right before my eyes. Seems like a group of people probably all got emails today, and they were snatching up openings.
I'll be going on Monday, August 12th. We'll see, I'm skeptical of the whole thing.

Good speed (4.46), was drafted in the 3rd round (2020). Has started 4/43 games and is already on his 4th team. The health at the safety position is officially a worry.
I mean, it's a worry, but the truth is that Rapp was always going to be one starter, and the other was to be a battle between Edwards, Hamlin, and Bishop. Hamlin's still available, and it sounds like he's been doing well, so my sense is that these latest signings are to make sure we have sufficient depth at the start of the season, allowing Bishop the time he needs to recover and catch up on the position.

Pretty interesting to see, thanks…

You said the seasons were over by November.
During the drought, often they were. We yearned for meaningful games in December (much less January). -

I'm pretty sure all the games they have played in December and January have been significant. What is significant about November?
What?

Bills have not lost by more than 6 points in their past 40 games, which is now an NFL record and counting. I just thought that was pretty impressive as I wouldn't have thought that.
For as much flak as Allen and especially McD can get sometimes, they both win a lot of games and when they don't they are still right there in the game.
But I didn't post this to debate the merits of Allen or McD (as I am sure this will trigger some McD people lol) or anything...when I saw it made me just appreciate more what a difference it is now compared to the dark years where games were often looking bleak or out of reach by halftime. And think some of that just gets lost in all the bickering and arguing over trivial things around here sometimes. And it is yet another reason that despite a lot of changes on both sides of the ball, there is still reason for us to be the favorites in the East and room for optimism around here.

This seems like a good place to mention that today was the 5th practice of training camp.
There will be 7 more practices at St. John Fisher before they break camp on August 8th.
They move to Orchard Park where there will be 3 preseason games and approximately 12 more practices before the final cutdown date of August 27th. This is the date that all teams must go from 90 to 53 players.
In other words, today was the 5th of about 24 practices before the final cutdown.
Sure, but should we be worried????

Unless he has a hereditary predisposition to clotting abnormally, his treatment is a few months of blood thinner and that’s it.
Minimal recovery if any is needed.
Plenty of non-hereditary reasons for clots that are of enough concern that continuing this type of massive contact sport might not be such a good idea.

I don’t disagree. I’m worried about it as well 💯. Until I see him play in a game, I’ll be a little worried. Seemed as if we was made of glass early in his career.
My point was that Nogoodposts was taking is usual extreme negative approach
Perhaps early, though in the two seasons prior to this last injury he had missed only two games. Mid-career, he had been pretty reliable.
Nevertheless, as others have pointed out, nobody should expect that he is back to his old self at this point, or even close to it. The knee will give him problems in his first action back, there's no question it will. He hasn't done a lot of the physical things he's needed to do in a long time, no matter how much rehab he has been doing. He's testing it now in ways that he couldn't do otherwise. It will take time.
The hope is that he continues to improve with time, as his body adjusts. By the end of camp, if he is still having trouble (or has a setback), then that would be cause for concern.

Well said. I found it tough to watch.

Anyone done both the virtual and in person presentations? I still can't make an in person (who decided M-F, 9-5 only is an idiot) so I'm set up for a virtual next week. Just wondering if I should still try to go to the in-person later. Right now I'm 95% certain I'm not going to renew, so going to the site is not a priority, just wondering if it's cool enough to check out anyways.
I haven't done either, but I'm weighing the option of doing it virtually. My appointment will be coming up in the next couple of weeks (supposedly), and it would be much easier for me to do virtual, but I'd really like to see it in person...

If he is on the team ? I hope they find some weekend matchups with him to exploit
Not sure why, but I'd love seeing Gilliam get some snaps on offense.

I read somewhere that it was the same as last year: she watched from the privacy of a dark SUV on the side.

So, even though you're not club currently, since your seats will be club in the new stadium, that's what they'll be offering you? I'm just a section over from you, section 132, row 35, 14-17. With having to travel from CA for games, I can't imagine I'll be willing to pay for clubs, not so sure I will be willing to pay any PSL but still excited to have the presentation and to be at the decision point. Very interested in hearing how your meeting goes!
Yeah, the idea is that they want to offer you seats that are as close to what you currently have as possible. So for me, that would be club seats. If I don't want to pay for clubs, then I'll have to get back in line for when they start offering non-club seats, wherever those are (that are left).

Where are your seats?
Love my seats, I'll miss them. Bills side, section 133, row 35, seats 18-19, so about the 47-yard line. Seniority since 1977.
Sounds like they will offer me a chance at similar seats in what is now the Club section, and if I don't want those, I'll have to come back at a later date to pick something that is non-Club.

Had a voicemail from my rep today, since I still have not had my appointment yet. They say, "I do wanna note that we are moving on here from clubs here shortly and projected to be sold out here within the next month or two".
Finally heard from my rep last week, told me I’d be getting an email next week with my appointment date. Should be the week of August 5th, he said. I’ll know more next week. -

I will say this, both as a WR group and overall set of weapons for the offense (WR, TE, and RB) I think we are better in these areas this year than last year: Route Running, overall Route Tree, better hands, more cerebral, and overall tougher.
What we are not is say "top heavy" with that proven upper tier type player that Diggs was, but we are deeper with guys who can all run good routes or better, can run a more expansive route tree, are more physical, and just play with a higher IQ and awareness on the field.
And that is why I am in the optimistic camp of this group because I have confidence that the guys on the field can make the play where I didn't share that confidence with as many of the players last year. And if they can do their job, Allen is going to elevate their games.
I agree with this. My take: one of the benefits that it seems Diggs afforded us was that Dorsey didn't always have to successfully scheme guys open; Diggs was so good at getting open that it covered up when the schemes weren't great or didn't work. Now we're going to have to rely on Brady to put together some really sound schemes for these guys to execute. I've always believed good schemes with technicallly sound WRs will consistently get guys open, even those who aren't superstars. We seem to have that now. Will Brady get the job done? I think the second half of last year was promising in that regard.

It definitely changes as you get older.
The stadium experience is completely awesome...but it's also easy to complain about. It takes up most of a day, there's all the prep for tailgating, the walking to and from the stadium, the traffic, and on top of all of that, the weather. Once you reach a certain age, the weather makes a huge difference. I can deal with all of that a couple of times in a season, max.
I also tend to freak out too much during close or tense games, so it's easier to watch on TV, where I can switch off of it if I have to. I never used to do that. When I was younger, my dad eventually could no longer watch tense games, it was too much for him. I thought that was crazy. Now here I am, older than he ever was, and I get the same way sometimes.

All of the new kickoffs from yesterday's HOF game
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
I think the point is that you have to return it if the kick falls within the 25 yard line.
