Cut the foot.  He has two.  No more excuses. 

 

Would the foot be subject to waivers, or would it immediately become a free agent?

 

[PSL Pricing/Seat Selection Discussion]

Just now, CA OC Bills Fan said:

Just got texted yesterday that I'll get the email in the morning to schedule my appointment. Since I'm in CA and I'm not going to the Titans game, I won't be in Buffalo until the Fish game. I was planning on scheduling for the day after the game. My agent said I shouldn't wait and should do a remote appointment as they have 30 appointments per day. Any opinions from those that have had either? I'm leaning towards waiting for the in person experience. I kind of doubt I'll end up getting seats in the new stadium anyway.  I have great seats now,  section 132 row 35. From what I've been reading here those will be club seats in the new stadium, if I were to keep seasons, I probably would move back to maybe the 300 level.

Having been through it, I’ll just say it was nice walking through the experience but it would be totally fine to do it remotely. I don’t think there’s really any specific advantage to physically being at the experience. It’s was cool to see the large stadium model, but it’s not like that really helped much. I’d do it remotely and not wait all that time if you don’t have to.

Keep the Shout! song. Never even heard of that song (Mr. Brightside) or the band. Give me hard rock from the 70s. Of course I'm 67 now. Do they still play the 'Migh-ty Ta-Co" jingle on the stadium scoreboard. That is from the radio in the mid 70s.

Pretty cool to see. My old work colleague is now the guitarist for The Killers, pretty crazy to see the guy from the cubicle at work now rocking out in front of thousands (and now entertaining my team).

I fell in love w/ Utah a few years ago when we spent several weeks traveling and camping/hiking/biking around Zion, Bryce, Canyonlands, etc. (Unfortunately his highness wants somewhere with "water"). Didn't realize just how pretty it was around there. You're a lucky (or wise) man to have settled in that state.

A couple summers from now I'm eyeballing 2-3 weeks or so over by Uinta/Wasatch and Ashley. I'll be hitting you up for free advice. 

 

You got it, bud. Just went camping up in the Uintas a couple weeks ago, it was amazing.

Oh really?  How many DTs league wide are winning more and how many of them are getting double teamed more?

 

Sure, you do you.

Taking on 600lbs of OL blockers compared to Ed only taking on 300lbs percentage wise and still applying more pressure is absolutely killing it. Having that much beef to contend with regularly is no small feat.

 

He's taking on a lot more, but it's not like he's got a great win percentage, so I'm not sure how you conclude that's "killing it."

 

He's doing his job, basically, which is to occupy blockers. He's not necessarily beating them.

 

Like I said, he's doing better than Ed, but that's not the same as killing it.

Daquan Jones, on the other hand, is killing it.

 

Not sure I'd say exactly that. DaQuon is clearly getting more double teams, but his win rate is only slightly higher than Ed's.

 

Now, that does imply that DaQuon is doing better than Ed because he's winning a bit more often against more guys, but I don't think I'd look at that graph and think DaQuon is "killing it."

 

All that said, I'm very happy how DaQuon has been playing. Pretty happy with Ed, too, if I'm being honest.

I mean, Salt Lake is a pretty awesome place to live. It does get below 45 in the winter, but usually not that much below it. Good golfing, great healthcare (natch), SLC is an excellent airport hub, Park City is a 25 minute drive away, amazing skiing/hiking/camping options in short driving distance, 5 national parks in the state, 2 more across the borders (NV and WY), something like 300 days of sun per year, fiber internet everywhere, and so on.

 

And no, you don't have to be a Mormon to enjoy it here.

 

And yes, you can also ski and golf in the same day. Some have even gone skiing in July some years.

Very sad. My favorite line of hers from Downton Abbey.

 

[Matt who? - Dorian Williams - What will the Bills do when Milano can return?]

It's promising, but I'd like to see how he does against an offense with a good running game and a strong TE before I anoint him as the new starter over Milano.

 

[Is it time to think massive long term extension for Christian Benford?]

Would be really nice.

 

I've read that CB and Douglas have become close friends. It would be great if we could somehow keep both, but I doubt we have the cap space.

But we have injuries now, and the team is playing through them. There was a 180-degree attitude shift after that London game. Remember all the "players-only meetings?"

 

Just addressing why there was such a shift last year. This year we probably just have better depth to deal with injuries at key positions.

I remember when we were the "best team in the NFL" when we beat Miami last year in week 4. I just don't understand what happened when they came back from London last year. Losing that single game should not have derailed things so badly. 

 

Uh, injuries?

Let's see how Brady performs against the Chiefs this year—in the regular season and, hopefully, in the playoffs.

 

If he gets us past them, then I'll worry.

 

[10 Things I loved seeing on Monday]

1. All three of our running backs getting TDs
2. Damar (someone was cutting onions in my house)
3. Shakir getting up from that TD play (thought he was injured for sure)
4. Ingram...making yet another play? Uncanny.
5. Solomon and Toohill grabbing the stat sheet
6. Von still on track for 17 sacks this season
7. Countless passes defensed in spectacular fashion
8. Both starting QBs in ballcaps on the sidelines
9. McCorkle doing McCorkle things
10. Mitch and Andreessen on the field for cleanup duty

 

What a night.

Once in a lifetime QB...enjoy the ride
Victories are total team efforts this season and a testament to the coaching staff
Everyone Eats has resulted in Josh Allens best stretch of football maybe ever
Rasul and Benford are playing like the best corner duo in the league right now
Reviewing Beane's draft history looks a whole lot different right now
Are you not entertained?
Total domination since the first half of the Cardinals game on both sides of the ball
Easily the best moment of the young season was seeing Hamlin get his first career INT
Defense will still get Taron and Bernard back soon and Milano later 🤯

 

Mack Hollins > Gabe Davis in this offense...and its not close.

You win in the trenches 

 

Allen is going to be the MVP

$hakir is an absolute BEAST and caught 34 straight targets
$ee you in Las Vegas in February 😎

Outstanding work.

Brady and Babich for president/vice president 

 

We're all loving them right now, but I imagine we also were pretty high on Dorsey about this time last year when we were sitting at 3-1 after three straight demolitions of the Raiders, Commanders, and Dolphins. Who knows what will happen when adversity comes knocking?

You ain’t lying-  but I do believe that the league will uncover a thing or two that will slow us down some.  The adapting to that will decide our season……along with some luck.

 

Very true. It also remains to be seen how the coaches will adapt once their tendencies are better known, but also when they go up against a really good defense as well.

 

[Someone has to say it so I will, we will lose a game or 2 at some point.]

We'll definitely lose at some point, but as you say, that's okay. We may even put up a stinker, like last year's Jags game. But that's okay too.

 

Love the way this team has come together. I'd like to see how they do when they're really put to the test, like on the road against a team with a strong defense.
