Yes. I like going there on occasion. Food can be decent but not always and it’s a bit on the fun side. I guess that’s why they’ve got north of 650 outlets. What do you buy yourself by sh*tting on it?

Don’t you know the legacy of Beane? They will all be in the NFL longer than anyone signed/drafted by any other GM.

I’m convinced Cracker Barrell is - like every rug store in the country - a money laundering front. Has anyone ever gone into, or seen anyone else go into, either one of those establishments? Oh, and the faux outrage on this one is - like all the rest - silly and weak. ❄️

The list of old vets and new vets are basically the same caliber of player outside of Bosa. Which is the whole point. Do I expect a wildly upgraded CB pairing if Tre White starts in Rasul Douglas’ position? I don’t. Ditto for basically everyone on that list. which is why the improvement is going to have to come from the rookies.

And I'll say the same thing I say every season. Without McBeane the Buffalo Bills run the very real risk of becoming the Buffalo Sabres under Terry Pegula.

If Samuel was a FA, nobody would offer him close to his current contract. He literally has negative trade value. Packaging him with a 26 year old 3rd string RB is straight out of Madden.

There's been anonymous source scuttlebutt that he's "done". Implications that he's checked out. Which would explain why we didn't look to bring him back and why he's still on the street.

It’s won’t be much better

I think you're arguing something different than what I mean. I'm not saying that we shouldn't get or target better wide receivers. Nor am I saying that Beane has done enough there. I'm saying there's a lot of moving parts and part of what holds us back against KC/making it to the SB is that we keep having to go back to the well. I will say, that for me, our constant misses/redrafts are a bigger concern for me than myopically looking at the offense or defense. But missing on defense seems to be enemy number one. We've devoted a lot more resources there to make up for it. But because we have the QB, we can help cover that up. I think that's similar to KC in that they've hit on defense much better than we have but been abysmal at drafting for offensive skill positions high. Mahomes gas covered that up. Yes the have taken more swings and that's ok. I would probably advicate for Beane to do the same...but alas he botches the defensive picks and leans into Allen to close the gap. I don't love our defensive drafts/FA as of late. I wish we spent more draft capital on offense. But imagine this team if they didn't redraft some of those defensive players? Defense is already holding this team back. We'd have lost to Baltimore on the road in the WC,rather than KC in the AFCCG. Regarding Allen's deal, he's played 7 seasons. 4 of which were a rookie deal and one is his 5th year option. He's had a couple seasons as a top 5/10 cap hit QB. And those are the years we should be spending less on WR. That doesn't mean we've done enough each and every year either. I don't disagree with this at all. I will say that I get what this regime is trying to do. But they've failed in execution. All these resources for TE's and we don't really utilize them at a high level. Constantly chasing receiving backs but we almost never throw the ball to them with frequency. Or dress them in TJ Yeldons case. It is very strange.

I said the same thing I will say every season McDermott is coach - this team will never win the Super Bowl with him in charge.

I have this sneaky feeling Josh will play one series with the starters We shall see

He had a 5-6 game stretch there where he was absolutely lights out. I would have to play with the way back machine but I believe he had a fairly average targets per game but like a top (bottom?) 5 Passer Rating when targeted. Ie. He wasn't being carried by a low number of targets that were unfairling weighing his production.

I’m not a huge Ray Davis guy. He has slow feet IMO. He looks like Zack Moss to me. Also, he has roughly the same amount of touches as Cook through college and the NFL (which is wild). He seems like a great dude but I’m certainly not upset hearing his name in trade rumors. Samuel, Davis and a 2nd for McLaurin will be my prediction. It could just be something like Davis for a late round pick but him being traded is my bold prediction.

Damn this would be the 2nd year in a row they lost their 1st rounder to a knee injury, if it's as serious as it looked.

I watch a lot of UB football. I went there for grad school and my dad has always been a big booster (love coming home to free, close parking and box seats haha). I digress. Dolan is a better LB than Buffalo Joe but not by much. He’s better in coverage, where I think Buffalo Joe is a little more instinctive in run fits. Buffalo Joe, Dolan, and Jimmy Cialo (?) are the same type of player. You can only have so many of these guys on your team. There’s a reason he went undrafted just like Joe and Jimmy. I hope he does great in Dallas. I wouldn’t have had a problem throwing a 7th round pick on him but the only reason you are hearing so much about it is the content bros are all up in arms because they wanted the story and narrative. I love Pat Moran but that guy has his head so far up Dolacs ass when Dolac burps it sounds like Pat’s voice. Nate Geary has also been on that rant but no one takes that clown seriously. Maybe he sticks, maybe he doesn’t, but back up linebackers who play special teams are a dime a dozen.

Our defense definitely won’t be worse than last season so I don’t know what the hell you are talking about.

They are just making sure every existing season ticket holder gets called before they start on the waiting list. Now you can't say they didn't ask you.

Sounds like a character from an Adam Sandler movie.

Sorry, but this was clever 🤣

Florida Department of Transportation enrages liberals.

Redhawk’s wife?

So what did you say before last season? And how did that turn out? Chill brother, we haven't seen the starting defense more than 1-2 series this preseason. Tre is hurt, Max is hurt... nothing official on Tre but Max will be back early in season. Hoecht and Oji suspended, doesnt change the fact that we need Ed, Groot, Bosa and rooks to generate pressure and keep Milano/TB/Taron healthy. Nothing about this screams "rude awakening" - your post screams panic, for the sake of worrying over preseason and a couple injuries. I cant see how we can be any worse on 3rd down, than last season on defense. and while I expect a regression on turnovers/redzone efficiency, if we can stay top 5 in both (after finishing top 1-2), we will be winning alot more than we lose.

Totally bizarre that they gave up a 3rd round pick and didn’t even entertain keeping him beyond last season. I mean NO team wants to give him a chance this year. Did he just hit the wall or what ?

My mother inlaw was born in Mt.Morris and moved to Olean as a baby... She always talks about "Rock City." Here's a day trip we did in early 1970s after Kinzua Dam (mentioned) opened. The fish hatchery there: https://www.fws.gov/fish-hatchery/allegheny https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegheny_National_Fish_Hatchery SideNote: On a Sunday with my father's 1973 Chevy Impala wagon... It was 1975 and it dropped it's gas tank losing a tank band... Brother sitting in back: "Hey Dad! There's sparks flying behind car!" Dad: "Shut up, there's no sparks!" LoL... Anyway... Back in day, not even gas stations were open on Sunday in Northwestern PA... We found rope somewhere and got home... Still remember eating cold "city chicken" on side of road as he rigged tank up.

Ok so to summarize the events of the day: -Tre gets "carted off" except he walked part way and it doesn't sound serious. -stark reminder that even if White heals up and starts week one, CB2 is shaky until one of the young guys steps up and solidifies it. -something, something Asante Samuel and Rasual Douglas. whatever.
