Rubes

Something made me think it was Miami, and the answer is no. But I could totally be making that up.

I would guess Beane is waiting to see what falls in the draft before signing him.

Sounds like Beane kicking the tires on a potential 4th back in case someone they like fails to fall to them in the draft.

I like Keenum and I think they'll bring him back, as they seem to prefer guys who already know the system. That said, I never felt very confident that Keenum could come in and get the job done. I don't know if Mariota could, but it will be interesting to see if they look at anyone else out there. Many options.

Interestingly, no. I had been a customer since 2005, and the person remarked several times about that, so I was expecting some kind of push to keep me. But they never offered anything, which is fine, since I had no intention of staying with them and didn't want to stay on the phone very long.

I actually came here to say exactly the same thing.

Same here. I haven't had any real problems with DTV and I've had it for many years. Pretty satisfied customer overall, though if there was one thing I didn't like it was the cost and all of the extra crap channels I was paying for. This past week I decided to cut ties and make the move to YouTube TV. Basically getting everything I had before for about 1/3 to 1/2 the cost. The flexibility is great, and although there are still a number of channels I think are ridiculous to have to pay for, overall I'm pretty happy with it and it's a smooth step up from satellite. Just a couple of thoughts from a guy who's rapidly becoming a dinosaur, in case there are others who are hesitant about the switch.

Man, recency bias is a real b!tch.

Often thought about which was worse...Troup over Gronk, or Whitner over Ngata. Whitner at least had a few decent years, but while Ngata was awesome Gronk is probably the best all-time at the position. 😢

It would be more impressive if it was outdoors, but since this is a Bills game I'll allow it.

Hell, if there's room, might as well italicize it too.

Whew, got mine. There were 2000+ people in the queue when I signed in right at the start (!), but it went really fast. Plenty of great seats were still available.

Seems like our guards are very susceptible to stunts, and our RT is repeatedly susceptible to outside rushes. Those seem like things that could be corrected, but aren't, for whatever reason.

I was watching that part of the game without sound, and it didn't look like an in-bounds catch to me (spectacular, but not in bounds)...but they kept replaying it over and over, like there was a chance it was...? Can someone explain that? It didn't look close to me.

I guess I'm pretty much the only person who didn't have a huge problem with that block. I rewatched it and it looked to me like the guy initiated the block as Andrews was running alongside him. It looks like a block in the back because Andrews is running past him, so as he initiates contact, his hand is on his back right shoulder and it appears like he pushes into his back. But to me, it was contact initiated when they were side-by-side as Andrews was speeding past him. Close enough to me, I guess.

Our offensive line is a huge liability, much greater than it seems because of Josh's ability to escape from trouble. But obviously (as yesterday) he's not always able to do so. Right now, we could use upgrades at three positions—both G and RT. Either that, or get them to figure things out. Right now, they are just killing us.

Seems to me that dedicating a man to spy on Josh should either (1) reduce the pass rush pressure on him, or (2) leave someone open downfield. Feels like we should be able to take greater advantage of it than we are.

True, but as I recall, we were saying the same thing about Zach Wilson and his offensive line right before our first meeting this year…

I mean, we *did* lose to freaking Zach Wilson this year, so isn't anything possible? Especially when you're playing a team with a pretty strong defense, given the way we seem to be willing to give the ball away in droves this year.

Nothing about Settle, either. That's good.

I would like to see it only to be able to witness the collective implosion of the entire New England coast.

Skylar isn’t anything special but he doesn’t have to be. All he needs to do is to get the ball in the hands of their playmakers, and let them do the rest. We don’t have a great cover scheme, and Hill kills us with slants and crosses. I can see them running the ball mixed with short routes that get their receivers in space.

All I know is that I’m so damn tired of seeing our two Guards get manhandled repeatedly.

A lot of people are going to lose their minds when the rookie QB starts lighting up our defense like Mac Jones in the first half last week. *runs away* 😜

Possibly. He's an excellent RB and the kind of player that has done well against us in a way that could take a lot of pressure off their rookie QB. But yeah, doesn't matter much.
