It's a conundrum. With the CBA limiting practices and those with pads, the players aren't getting enough hitting in before these preseason games. Then you have the injury concerns so coaches aren't playing starters enough. The last couple years this has resulted, in my opinion, in a lot of sloppy play in the 1st couple weeks of the season. Starters rarely play in the 4th preseason game but I bet if they reduced to 3 preseason games, the coaches would treat the 3rd one the same.

Doesn't fit the culture and do you really want our young QBs to be yelled at to "Throw Me the Ball!"?

They also seem to have done away with Chris Brown’s Fan Friday.

Maybe they could talk Matt Leinart into leaving his cushy studio job.

Do they deduct the cost of the helmet from McCarron's paycheck?

As long as Allen can stay healthy. He was last year but has a spotty history.

I recently saw a photo of the top QBs of the draft sitting in chairs in a half circle for some show. They were in t-shirts and shorts. Rosen and Darnold both have skinny legs while Allen and L. Jackson looked solid. Rosen also has narrow shoulders while Allen was the thickest. In the photo, Darnold looks puny compared to the others.

No, last year was a cut to I believe 70 or 75 after the 3rd preseason game.

I remember playing a pickup game a while back with a guy who was a high school starting QB. When he threw it deep, all of us tended to slow down or stop and try and jump for the ball. He kept telling us to keep running. I got another shot and kept running and he laid it in their perfectly. Tasker was right that Foster slowed down because he was looking back. He probably would've got to it if he kept running hard.

Yep, I don't how many years the Bills looked like crap in the 1st preseason game.

Yeah, he looks much better than Cadet.

Yeah, even the stuff they show on Hard Knocks is amazing. I was just watching an episode from the 2014 Atlanta Falcons camp when Brian Cox was the DE coach. He was having a couple of young players running to get into shape. He was yelling at them to move and they were just standing there ignoring him and when they did run they were dogging it.

Wait a minute! I thought Gerhard de Beer was brought in to "guard the beer"?

Never look at the cheerleaders?! I don't believe you! At the Bills/Chargers game this past season, we were definitely checking out the Chargers cheerleaders when they were in front of our section.

Yeah, I was going to say that poor passes by the QBs count as targets. I still wouldn't mind the Bills bringing in LaFell, especially since it would cost them nothing but a salary.

I bought a book thru Amazon about the longtime Bay Area broadcaster and I could have sworn I selected New. The book comes in and it's in perfect condition so no reason to think it wasn't new. Inside the cover was written "To Jose, the greatest Raiders fan!"

On probation after 18 posts? What a tool!

I find a lot of errors in online articles. Our local paper was getting pretty bad. It wasn’t spelling errors so much as missing and extra words. It’s like they used spellcheck but didn’t run a grammar check. Today’s rush to get news out really has done a job on quality. Seems to be little pride in quality. (We recently cancelled paper delivery for multiple reasons.)

This is very true and may have contributed to Chad NOT ending up with the Bills. Uncle Jim may have been around for advice but there may have been too much pressure playing for the same team.

And that's one of the reasons why he doesn't work for an NFL team and just writes about them. The Bills QB position right now is a competition. Counting today they've only had 5 practices. They need to see how these 3 guys perform in a couple preseason games before making a sound decision.

Caps for the little man. It's not a new market though of team logos on condoms.

No kidding? I was at a resort in the Himalayas for a high level business meeting with Savior Peterman. We watched the game using one of those big satellite dishes.

So much for Buffalo public schools.

Yeah, if you watch a rugby match, they aren't wearing helmets and tackle without using their heads. The game is different though as you don't have a safety or linebacker coming at full speed from several yards behind the line. Still, the NFL players just have to adjust. I think, while helmets and shoulder pads have provided more protection, they have also provided weapons. A defender without a helmet isn't likely to use his head to tackle.
