How do we have 8 pages when there hasn't been a game played yet? lol

Draft, develop, and retain. A strategy most/no teams focus on and we do it as brand. it often time feels like our leadership is a little “too” invested in branding and public image. What we are doing sounds good for the cameras, but most teams are focused talent above all else. Buffalo “processes” themselves out of talented players to stick to whatever the slogan is. I think history has shown pretty conclusively teams that try and kumbaya vs pursue the best talent, lose. Patriots, Chiefs, Eagles, Cowboys. All of those runs, multiple Super Bowls. Multiple problem players at the least at the draft pick level. Where is the example of what we label as our identity taking home the Lombardi? Great coaches harness difficult personalities and players to the betterment of the team.

Did he just say the Bears won back to back PRACTICES? im reading and it sounds like a interception called back and a TD on white. Keon was ballin and yet the Bears COOKED the Bills. Ok. It's practice dude calm down.

Still don't get it

Oh I got you. Yes I’m all for it

Bills vs Eagles in Super Bowl LX, obviously they are picking the Bills to win it all as lightning strikes. New Era 2025 NFL Sidelines.

I think your point about Shanahan is actually the one a lot of us are making: You don't have to have a great coach to win with a SB with an elite QB...you just have to have one that's not a total liability. Unfortunately we do have a HC who has been a total liability as evidenced by how awful his side of the ball and management has been in these big postseason games and how we consistently lose playoff games that our elite QB plays very well in, which is historically just not normal.

No I didn’t. I just gave a snarky reply because people love to hate on Hamlin.

This is funny to the old timers, but it's been so long it isn't surprising that people never learned the historic terminology, or forget. FL is for flanker. The history helps make it clear. In the 30s, I believe, most teams ran a single wing offense, with seven men lined up tight - essentially two tight ends. Those guys on the outside of the tackle were called ends. In the backfield there were four backs in some formation, and the guy who received the snap was in a short shot-gun formation. It was a running offense, with the ball carry following a convoy of three backs blocking ahead of him. Both ends were what we would call tight ends. They never were wide. Then in the 40s, somebody invented the T formation, with the QB under center and three running backs, a fullback and two half backs. They began throwing more regularly to the ends out of that formation. Eventually, someone figured out that it would be easier for the end to get open if he split away from the tackle - that is, to get wider but still on the line. Initially, both ends were still called ends on the roster, but if one split wide, then in that formation he was called a split end. They never split two ends, just one, I think because they always wanted the sixth man blocking on the line. Then someone realized that if one guy could open by being out wide, another guy out wide on the other side would be that much better. But they wanted to keep one end in, so they took one of the halfbacks and split him wide. He couldn't line up on the line because that would cover the end and make him ineligible. So, they said the halfback was "on the flank," meaning he was at the outside of the formation. Hence, a "flanker." A lot of times, the flanker was just one of the two halfbacks lined up wide. You had guys like Lenny Moore, who was a devastating ball carrier, and he was probably better when he lined up as the flanker. That is, you had more guys like Deebo Samuel and Christian McCaffrey. But eventually, the flankers became more specialized as just receivers, and they were generally a speedster. Why? Because coaches still wanted the end to line up tight sometimes to support the run. So, split ends generally were bigger and tougher and slower than flankers. So, the routes they ran were different. Over time, of course, the split ends and flankers became interchangeable in the offense, sometimes even lining up with the split end wide and the flanker in the slot. That was revolutionary. But as they became interchangeable, they dropped their historic titles of end and flanker and both became simply wideouts. WR is a position like Edge. After a while, nobody cared whether a guy was technically a flanker or a split end, just like nobody cares much now whether in the guy is a defensive end or a linebacker. When Lionel Taylor was playing, it was unusual that he played both split end and flanker. That alone denotes that he was an exceptional player. In the fifties, most every team was splitting an end to one side and flanker to the other, so that end changed on the roster to a "split end." In those days, the split end would line up on the same side every play, and flanker would line up every time on the other side.

Hockey Hotline was life in the 90!

Did you see the play? Others are saying it was Rapp who got beat, but in any case both starting safeties were there for practice today.

Rapp might be the slowest starting safety in the league but generally takes good angles. It’s good for these things to happen in practice, would be less beneficial for the defense if the Bears offense didn’t make any plays.

Exactly where was the safety help on the long TD given up by Tre? Oh yeah… Hamlin was letting Bishop get some first team reps.

Did you type that while hiding under your bed lol?

That's funny. Other media that I have heard from that were there said that outside of a couple big plays, the Bills had a lot more wins overall. But this dude looks like a fan, so I would expect him to have a Bears bias.

yea it wasn't cover zero or anything complex or risky from what I have heard/read. Apparently white was just beat badly and then Taylor Rapp took a bad angle and let him by him and he was gone. no big deal its just a practice. If they hit it again in the game sunday that will stink though.

I disagree. Sure it's bittersweet but it's a unique piece of NFL folklore and certainly of Buffalo Bills history. It's very cool when we are the only franchise in NFL history that can claim four straight Super Bowl appearances. Until we go all the the way that 4 year period will always be looked at as the best era of Buffalo Bills football. The problem is if the Chiefs match the feat with having Super Bowl wins along with it, then yeah this becomes pretty much obsolete for the Bills. Best case scenario Bills knock the Chiefs out of the AFC and go on to win one of own this season!

Weak and lame attempt to discredit. He made him walk through F-22’s and flew a B-2 over his dome. Even his haters are acknowledging that move.

Is that Rosie or Keith Olberman? They are both psycho and I can't tell the difference.
