Well Marv is know 100. God bless you young man May the force be with us and no more injuries. Yikes 2 more practices after this and it's back to op

Literally... like holy crap...

Congrats Marv!

Montana had the greatest offensive mind maybe ever in football as his head coach. Walsh's schemes are still winning football games today in KC, SF and LAR. He also had the greatest WR of all time on his team. The guy that replaced Montana won a Super Bowl and went to the Hall of Fame. Brady had a defensive head coach who went 29-38 after Tom left. The guy who replaced Tom is 20-29 as a starter and is currently a backup on his third team in three years. As much as I cant stand the Patriots, Brady is the GOAT and its not really debatable.

The poll of 1,172 likely voters, conducted July 29-31, shows 54% believe Obama administration officials committed serious crimes in “manipulating intelligence,” with 37% saying it’s “very likely” and 17% saying it’s “somewhat likely.” A staggering 69% agree it is critical that the perpetrators be held accountable “for the survival of our country.”

Just saw Men At Work, Christopher Cross and Toto and Seneca Niagara … overall excellent show, didn’t feel like just an oldies “yacht rock” act

I would be thinking a mix of Kincaid and Moore, with a few for Coleman here and there

She had him arrested for stalking her residence?

I agree, I don't think its a sign a deal is close as I doubt Cook responds in a way that would cause so many questions. Hard Knocks has been filming there too, so wouldn't surprise me if this is a calculated move by him and his agent utilizing the bigger exposure of Hard Knocks now that the cameras are rolling there to try and create more buzz or leverage. So I don't think anything "happened" and this is just part of the plan - I think Cook did his part, came to camp, participated, showed his commitment to the team and goals of the season and hoped that it would generate enough good will there would be more movement on his deal or get closer. And the plan was, that if there wasn't by the time preseason started, then they would adjust and "sit in" and get more rigid with the situation. And quite honestly, its a fair approach IMHO - First, go show you are here, do the right things, out the good will out there and if that doesn't result in positive movement on the deal, you can then be more justified in taking a more stern stance. Personally, I think Cook has handled the situation up to this point pretty well. He has done and mostly said the right things. He has shown he wants to be here now and long term. That doesn't mean a deal will get done, end of the day it comes down to what he is asking for and where that aligns in the Bills cap plans and how they value him. But I don't have an issue with how he has handled himself regardless, and I think Beane and the FO have done a good job too in how they have been open about it, the challenges around it, and keeping an open dialogue with Cook and his agent through the process. It will be interesting to see more details and depth on this storyline through Hard Knocks too as its obviously going to be a prevalent one.

Forgive my obtuseness, but what am I missing? 🤔

In an era where these guys barely hit anyone in training camp, and the entire purpose of the preseason now seems to be to stay healthy, the number of injuries is really unbelievable. I doubt you could have this many injuries if guys were in pads, running suicide drills in two-a-day practices.

Yeah I think we are on the same page here more or less. I thought this might be that season after taking the Diggs medicine last year, but then they start filling up with mid level again - Palmer comes in on top of Samuel and the cap is full again. The effective result (imo anyway) is that our WR4, CB4, DT3 etc etc are better than league average. But we have no players who scare anyone apart from 17. I'd rather have seen (for example only) what Metcalf,Shakir, Coleman + random cheap guy + a 4ish round rookie can do Vs what Shakir, Coleman, Samuel, Moore, Palmer and Hamler and Shavers can do.

Ha! Cooperstown was our 1st summer vacation as a kid, Canandaigua the following. We didn't have much money for flying trips etc... However, i still have great memories from both places. Wife and I went back to Cooperstown 25 years later. I took pictures of where we ate and stayed with my family. The cheap motel was still there, just painted. The restaurant was there too, but closed. Roseland had the Skyline over the water, like ski lifts. Google the park and they show old photos. Very nostalgic!

To each their own but I think Buffalo Plus is pretty good.

I should have posted this yesterday... For any of you who haven't read this before, it's a classic about aging by George Carlin When asked how old you are? If you are less than 10 years old, you are so excited about aging you think in fractions. I am four and half going on five. You are never thirty-six and a half! When in your teens, you jump to the next number or even a few ahead. I am gonna be 16! You could be 13, but hey, you’re gonna be 16! And the greatest day of your life…..you become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony. You become 21. Yesssss! But then you turn 30. Ooooooh! What happened here? You become 21, turn 30, then you are pushing 40. Whoaaa! Put on the brakes! Before you know it, you reach 50! But wait!! You make it to 60. You weren’t sure you would! So, you become 21. Turn 30. Push 40. Reach 50 and make it to 60. You’ve built up so much speed that you hit 70! After that it is a day-by-day thing. You get into your 80’s and every day is a complete cycle; you hit lunch; you turn 4:30; you reach bedtime! And it doesn’t end there. Into your 90’s you start going backwards. I was just 92! Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. I’m 100 and a half. May all of us make it to 100!!

I am not asking this to be condescending as I'm genuinely curious- Do you watch a lot of Miami football? Their offence is completely lost without Tua. It's pretty black and white and I'm sure any advanced stat would back that up Of course every team will take a step back with their backup, but the drop off is next level in Miami with Tua hurt as McDaniel has a very complexed, timing based offence. He definitely has flaws. But one thing he does a really good job at is beat up on bad teams. Which goes back to my original point- If Tua is healthy, Miami is a playoff team last year as they lost multiple games against bad teams when he was injured.

I believe the Bills passed for less than 1000 yards that year. Incredible.

Interesting - Our season ended because no one on our offense knew where the Blitz was coming from on 4th down and was fooled by Spags on the final play. We had multiple guys running wide open on the play for easy first down but Josh had no time to even see them or attempt to get them the ball after we cheated coverage the wrong direction and gave their defense a free release on Josh. The result heaving a prayer ball instead. We literally had 3 players wide open for easy first or massive gains, including Shakir right off the snap and even Kincaid himself (who was running wide open for massive gain opportunity) if we could have better protected and let Josh throw a clean ball. It's an area we need to be better at in crunch time - on both sides of the ball.

I doubt anything “happened.” I think Cook is just using whatever leverage he has at this point to force the issue. He has been a “good soldier” all along, reporting to mandatory minicamp and practicing through the first two weeks of training camp. I’m on record that I believe Cook is extremely important to this offense. I trust that Beane will get something done, whether it is just sweetening the pot for this season or working out a 2-3 year extension.

What, did you go Back to the Future and watch the game or something?

What do you believe the collective cost of 100,000 government regulations is? Surely you have a number.
