  1. Past hour
  2. You admitting in the middle you would do things differently is a good sign that you are trying to to learn, which we should all do. As for the wedding it is for my wife's side of family and lots of commitments around it. My major annoyance is they waited until this week to let us know. The parents are mortified that they waited until now to tell people after all plans have been made. What I truly hope we learn is that government lies to us all the time and we need to be less trusting when they take away our freedoms
  3. idk ask kyle shanahan. he really seems to have the losing part down.
  4. Lambeau the stadium is nothing special, but I thought the area was pretty cool. You’re driving around in this residential neighborhood and all of a sudden there is a stadium surrounded by what could be Cheektowaga. It was a like a space ship had just landed there, looking out of place. It’s a little like what I remember about going to the Rockpile. Instead of leveling everything and creating huge parking lots like in OP, everybody parks and tailgates in people yards. People have signs in their yards saying “PARK & PEE $20”. The price goes up as you get closer to the stadium. They either bring in porta-potties or let you into the house to use the bathroom. I’ve never seen anything quite like it before, so I enjoyed a different experience. But again, nothing special about the stadium itself. BTW - I’d love to see Wrigley and Fenway once, and I don’t even like baseball. .
  5. Yeah, I agree with this and I think the issues between him and the staff came down to Diggs losing faith this group was gonna get it done before his career was over. And staring down the barrel of a bloated cap and big personnel changes certainly wasn't going to help ease those concerns and probably only further fueled them. I think Diggs biggest concern was being somewhere in the last years of his career that didn't legitimately give him a chance to win a ring. The one area I think Diggs is misunderstood is I don't at all think he was that "get me the ball over all else" WR Diva that guys like T.O. were that became locker room cancers. I think Diggs genuinely cared more about a Championship than personal stats. But being the competitor and talent that he was, that was easier to swallow when we were winning, but in losses where Josh missed him, or he wasn't as involved, etc I think then it became the mindset had he been more involved it might have changed the outcome and that was where he got frustrated and the most heated. But not over the ego of stats...over the belief he had in his ability to affect the game. I have no ill will towards Diggs...I am happy with the trade, never thought we would get a 2nd for a guy on the wrong side of 30 who didn't finish the season strong last year, so kudos to Beane for getting that kind of value. I think its addition by subtraction because that pressure and frustrated energy I think Diggs carries with him to get a championship became unhealthy for the locker room. With that gone, I think the fun comes back and Josh can play with not having things like that in the back of his mind of what kind of reaction or temperament Diggs is going to have when things aren't going right.
  6. Yeah if Damar somehow turns out to be a decent safety, that's like found money.
  7. Basically, the coach and GM observed diminished skills. They could’ve kept him another year but figured they could have a better WR corp with what they’ve eventually done. If Diggs was going to continue to perform at his level of second half of season, they made the right move. They concluded that keeping Diggs would not get them past KC, Cincy, and Baltimore.
  8. The first time I was back from Buffalo after being away for a few years, I was shocked to see how dirty it was.
  9. Agreed! Same with Jordan as a Knicks fan, even though I was a little kid in the 90s , same type of feeling
  10. Nice to see some positive things about Hamlin hopefully a year removed from the his injury scare he can focus solely on football.
  11. I think I’ll be watching all the pre-season games this year with more interest then I have since we drafted Josh
  12. Once he was out of NE he was a lot more likable. And like @H2o said, beating Mahomes made him more likable. And for me, watching him get hammered and throw the Lombardi tropy from a boat to another boat to Gronk made him a lot more fun, relatable, and likable than he had been in the past. While I enjoyed watching everyone slam him during the roast, I also thought he killed it too when he closed the Roast out. The bit about mocking Goodell for spending $20m on deflate gate where he said he should have just gave him the $20m and he would have just admitted he did it was legendary troll job. The Bills Mafia joke was savage yet hilarious..etc etc. I am a die hard NFL football fan too on top of being a die hard Bills fan. So I have always had a great deal of respect for the all time greats even when they played for hated rivals or were arch enemies.
  13. You'd be right, but imo Benford is going to be on the field whether it's cb1 or 2 , I don't see anyone taking his job. He's the real deal Could save a bunch on the cap by having Elam out there on a rookie deal . Ya we gave up a 3 for Douglas and he's awesome but we gave up a 1 for Elam and would save $ , improve elsewhere McD has been a secondary wizard
  14. This is the perfect thread to open if you wish to lose your appetite
  15. I don't think there was ever a problem between Josh and Diggs. It seems clear to me, at least. The problem was with Diggs and the coaching staff. Maybe it's McDermott, maybe it was Dorsey and Brady, maybe he just didn't fit the team-first mentality. You heard a lot about it, vaguely, by McDermott slipping and saying he's "very concerned" or Dorsey saying "no one player is bigger than the team" or Josh having to step up during the OTA fiasco and say "some players are special and should be treated that way." You could feel it. That's why he's gone. A million times over, I'm thrilled that we got a (probably) high 2nd round pick for him. I'm also thrilled we don't have to deal with this media fire that Diggs loved to throw gasoline on constantly. That was his choice, just like it was in Minnesota and I think culturally, the staff were happy to move on.
  16. Can't wait to see Ray Davis and Dewayne Carter this summer.
  17. Not sure I follow here...Elam will be competing to take Benfords job, not Rasul who is the best CB on the team. The tandem would be Rasul and Elam if in fact Elam came on and earned a starting spot.
  18. Man I wish Fanduel had a prop bet "Will the WNBA ruin its own momentum with racism." This was all pretty much expected no?
  19. What if Elam comes on though? That wouldn't be a wise extension
  20. I keep hearing good things about Claypool if he gets his s*it together add Coleman and Samuel to Kincaid and Shakir this group has potential to be more productive then last year
  21. How dare they not arrest Fauci instead for suggesting people wear masks. The HOROR.
  22. Douglas extension - probably 2 years, maybe 3 Reserved amount for Hyde or another S if Hyde doesn't come back Potential CB signing as we are pretty thin $3m-$4m held in reserve heading into the season
