I believe he’s almost certain to make the 53 for all these reasons you’ve already stated. As far as fans not being enthused enough by his signing, did you really expect a different reaction? There’s nothing about his career up to this point that would generate any sort of excitement from the average fan.

Tickets used to be 6-8-10 bucks back in the 70's... and 25 or so in the 80's for big names. The math doesn't add up to what they are charging nowadays. Before Harvey was known to be a "fill in the blank", Harvey & Corky Burger put out a ton of shows in Buffalo with quality bands for a good price. It's a money grab now... just like the price of a beer at a concert or a game. I'm sure others here have some stubs from these days: https://www.setlist.fm/venue/century-theatre-buffalo-ny-usa-73d73619.html?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR2AHLd_JL2Ql400IL-NiMdz7K8BpCh9sOwEn71RkMnzGeHizOojOxM_bQ8_aem_AWrGgAde0Tf-MULU-jZBAPhjjXwNdmlok-dtjvQL4uYtfYBY7gr88D94JqJjlJugCIS_yrlK1pKqPps4vyDjfMdA

Now you're just making sh1t up! 😄

That wasn't bird *****, it was battery acid

Doesn't alter the fact that talk is cheap though.

That's just silly. With where things are in the off-season, or really ever, expecting/needing the QB to share some kind of revelatory observations about a specific passing target is folly. Allen's holistic and enthusiastic comments about Hollins (a big, gritty pro who is seeking to fill a prominent leadership, depth, and special teams role) are somehow a bad sign?! That's confirmation bias gymnastics. You don't definitively know most of what you think you know. None of us do.

Imagine an ambitious and somewhat unscrupulous businessman. He decides to compete with Ticketmaster head-on. He creates two companies. He names the real company World Ticket. He runs that company himself. There is also a second company, headed by one of the businessman's associates. The goal of this second company isn't to gain sales. Its mission is to achieve name recognition. That, and literally nothing else. What is the name of this second company? Ticket African Slave. The more people hear the name Ticket African Slave, the less they're going to like the name Ticketmaster. What our ambitious and unscrupulous businessman really wants is protests. Protests directed against the ugly racial implications of a name like Ticketmaster. The name Ticketmaster doesn't currently have racial implications, but our ambitious businessman is determined to change that. So he sits down with some kind of community leader. He says, "Listen. You have a thousand followers. I wouldn't mind at all, if you got a bunch of those followers together to protest the ugly racial implications of a name like Ticketmaster. I'm guessing you wouldn't mind if an extra ten grand appeared in your bank account. What do you say we work together?" He'd create an initial wave of protests by using that tactic. Once the initial wave got extensive media coverage, a follow-on wave will occur on its own, without the businessman having to pay for it. Event planners wouldn't want to deal with this stuff, so they'd switch to World Ticket instead. Okay, so the events I've described above are more likely not to happen, than they are to happen. That said, I wouldn't shed a tear if they did happen, because I hate Ticketmaster!

Allen has not been adequately celebrated for his ability to avoid pressure (early penetration especially) that would result in sacks for the majority of NFL QBs. Why an otherwise ultra efficient Marino or Cousins or Goff or Tagovailoa tends to fall short in the playoffs: they don't often transcend/overcome early defensive pressure and extend otherwise negative/dead plays. A talent like Allen can cover up or compensate for so many protection breakdowns that would immediately scuttle the same plays for so many other offenses. Yes. Re-watching even the 13 seconds game recently, I was struck by how efficient Allen was early in drives, targeting Beasley especially to move the chains and get within striking distance (for those legendary deep/intermediate TD strikes to Davis). QB17 has ALREADY shown us he is willing to be the trigger man of an efficient, diverse attack. But Beasley and Brown went away, and Diggs and Davis plateaued, and Mckenzie and Harty failed to fill in. Hopefully Kincaid and Samuel and Shakir and the RBs shine as featured targets in a diverse passing attack, with some combination of Coleman, MVS, and/or Claypool and Shorter/Shavers doing the boundary work to keep defenses honest enough. I do think Samuel and Shakir and Kincaid (and maybe Knox and Cook and Davis) could all be trustworthy targets encouraging Allen to take what the defense gives him.

They need a new head coach. Desperately.

No pics unfortunately, but, I got a bunny murdering Grey Heron in my yard. It happened about 250 ft. from the back of the house. I didn’t see if it landed or walked up, but, it had it pinned and was stabbing it repeatedly. Then swallowed it whole and flew away.

I wouldn't necessarily read too much into it. Among the WRs, it's entirely possible Hollins has the biggest personality. That could easily explain why he's the one Josh happened to mention first.

Let’s all take a deep breath here. Statistically, Hollins is JAG in a WR room loaded with JAGs.

You know, but I hear ya.

We were told when he signed about his leadership. I hate that our QB is mentioning Hollins 1st when discussing WRs though. That’s not a good sign.

I think there is some conspiracy group that believes birds are mechanical spies invading our privacy, watching us like big brother, or something. I wonder if that is it.

I guess you never heard of the Declaration of Independence or the Monroe Doctrine. But, hey, keep doing your best to sling the word "Nazi" around. It's clearly your last resort after calling everyone a "racist". Your garbage isn't working anymore. If you want to talk about history, yes, there was a Nazi influence in this country as well as a communist influence in this country (which I believe still persists). If you don't want to make America great or put America first then maybe YOU are the Nazi.

You don't need to be able to declassify documents by thinking about it, because you could just pardon yourself before stealing them. Who am I kidding he has total immunity from everything anyways. That my friends is called the triple twisting of fallacies, that maga is too dumb to figure out. What will him and his lawyers claim next? That he can suspend the Constitution? That he can serve more terms, because he was treated unfairly??? Oh nm, they already claimed that. Imagine how dumb you'd have to be to........ and they keep surprising us.

Too much risk of injury, but as pointed out upthread it made the career of Deacon Jones: https://clutchpoints.com/why-was-the-deacon-jones-head-slap-banned-from-the-nfl

Maybe he's cultivating a little bit of a barbarian persona. I'm guessing that he'll mellow after he retires. There was this hotel I once stayed at. I parked underneath a billboard. It was late at night, and I wasn't paying attention to whether there was or wasn't a billboard above my parking space. The next morning, my vehicle was covered in bird poop. It turns out that billboard was a nesting site for birds. I'm fascinated to learn that the creatures which produced that poop were purely imaginary.

You need a better link than their top spokesman Lindbergh? A guy who literally was given The Commander Cross of the Order of the German Eagle by Hilter, personally pinned by Goring a few weeks before Kristallnacht. Do you think it's any surprise that after CL gave the speech I quoted before, that it's when AF was the most popular it ever was? If there were any non-Nazis in that group, they CERTAINLY would have left it after hearing that, and seeing what was happening to Jews in Germany. Some of those "good people" were AT BEST Nazi simps. So we have 850k in America First, 25k in the Bund, which is $875k ACTUAL MEMBERS of Nazi movements. I imagine they had a few friends, who weren't actual card-carrying members, which would take us easily over 1M.

Of course, all he needs to do is think in his head' "declassified", and then it is so (actual argument from republicans because they are smart). He would sandwich that thought between, witchhunt, witchhunt, mcdonalds, golf, mcdonalds, nice rack, mcdonalds, diet coke, witchhunt.

Isn’t he the guy who doesn’t believe in birds? EDIT: Just found it. He’s the guy who doesn’t believe in wearing shoes - except on the football field - and doesn’t believe in using utensils “just eat with your hands.” One of the draft prospects this year doesn’t believe in birds. How or why, I don’t know.

This guy:

Why do they even give them the option to shut off camera. We're in tech era... Can't that thing run a whole 8 hour shift. Okay... Gross, I get the Dunkin' Donuts bathroom thing. But really. Then the lighter punishment (reprimand in service jacket) by not turning it on? You gotta be kidding!

Or maybe you're in the minority and you just haven't come to terms with that yet. Evolve or wither away.
