imagine if they found you in the shower...

I’m not. You come off as the sort that would say things like “nobody saw this coming” and “the motive is unclear”.

Any concern about the visor causing some glare and vision differences for Josh? Simply, he's not use to it and IMO it has to cause some differences for him.

Who he is is this: Goff with Rams (5 years): 42-27, 18171 yards, 107 TD, 55 INT, 63.4%, rating 91.5 Stafford with Rams (5 years): 36-23, 15243 yards, 98 TD, 45 INT, 65.9% rating 95.6 Goff with Detroit: (5 years): 40-26, 17446, 121 TDs, 40 INT, 68.3%, rating 101.2.

This is exactly the sort of word salad you'd expect from a very intelligent person who can't figure out why they suck.

We wore leather helmets back when I played football (or something like that) - a great thing because, as a receiver and safety, I hated anything obscuring my vision even in the smallest way. Weirdly, I had poor eyesight and wore glasses yet I didn't like wearing glasses in games because I didn't like the rims obstructing my sight. A visor would have driven me crazy with the hint of glare. So I'm glad for #1 because Josh has already adjusted to the way the visor affects his vision. #2 and #3 remain problems. But I don't think heat or reverberation will bother him when he's in the pocket, scanning the field, in the flow, and entirely focused on the play.

This, more than anything, tells you what Lions players think of Ben Johnson

BullBuchanan: "There is zero and I mean zero evidence that anything related to LGBTQ in this killing. They were just roommates. I don't care about your feelings."

We have a mini bye coming up and then another in a few weeks. Perhaps everything works out for the stretch after that. So far, nothing looks long term.

Might not mean much. The Cowboys held them to 24 and Barkley to 60 yards.

Kirby, respect your ball knowledge, but Williams had an 11 game chance last season and he didn't "take off" as far as I can tell. Bills were still adjusting their D to cover for him. He's athletic and he can *thump*, but as someone said upthread: "when he can play a downfield, attacking style he's a playmaker. But when he has to read and react, he's illiterate." Bernard had a much better year in 2023. Why? Well, in 2023, Bernard started next to Milano and looked great for 4 games. After a 2 game Dorian Williams experiment, the Bills started Dodson platooned with Poyer on passing downs. Dodson not nearly as athletic as Williams, but could read and react. That's one difference. Last year IMO, Bernard spent 12 games thinking for 2 people, himself and Dorian Williams. He's a quiet guy who takes responsibility on himself, but when Milano came back he said something that I thought spoke volumes. It was something like "it's nice to play next to someone who sees the game the same way I do." But then Milano was rusty AF and many thought Williams had been playing better, so there was that. I think Williams has improved, but curious how many games we need to see this "taking off" phenomenon? He looked fine against the Jets, but their QB didn't seem to make us have to think too much.

@BullBuchanan just waiting for that updated article pinning the death of Charlie on all those pesky right wingers?

That run against SF in the snow last year is up there.

Yep, I posted this in the Tyler Dunne/Caleb thread. Waldron refusing to coach the kid last year really sandbagged him. Great clip by Brady.

It's been 2 games

I'm more concerned that a subset of the TQ (not so much LGB) community, previously on board with the don't be intolerant and only judge us by our sexuality mantra, that now seems to be increasingly obsessed with militancy, violence and crime in general. Is it worth asking questions as to what has happened over the past 15 years or so or to just shrug it off?

WHEN we were all starving for ANY semblance of order, quality, professionalism, intelligence, capability, etc.during the entire, endless lost years of this Millenium, I was with you. But NOW, the Bills are not, no almost never, inflicted with that stumbling, bumbling, fumbling idiocy! And they are led by a freak player- should be not be injured, will likely get to the point of being in the GOAT conversation of not just QBs… but players in NFL history! Given the prior substandard playoff performances by the D, it is normally ALL about him! Therefore, I do not want, for the sake of 2 who cares yards, taking a game/season or career ending stupid hit! Play smart 17! The Lombardi is just over the curve of the road. It is no time for a FUBAR!

Annoying to be down Oliver & Milano, but the Dolphins just put 2/5ths of their OL on IR, so I’m not going to complain too much. Re: Milano, it just makes me worried long term. This Defense has a ton of potential, but alot of relies on certain guys… Rapp, Milano, Taron, Bernard, Benford, Bosa staying healthy. Two games in and we’re already having to deal with missed games from Taron Johnson and Matt Milano. That being said.. very quickly it seems clear that the key to this defense is making sure Bosa and Benford are healthy in the Playoffs. We’ve never had a Bosa type power player at this level for the playoffs and Benford hasn’t be available in our Chiefs losses.

You pretty much nailed it. Bollox 🤣

Thanks! We were looking for a good beef on Weck place! we got in last night and plan on eating all day today!!

Cook to me is Kamara light. Not as physical a build as Kamara but a tougher runner than you'd expect. He has the gliding acceleration that I think is hard for defenders to key on, has the lateral escapability, has the receiving skills (when there's no lapses in concentration). I'm not a fan of paying big money for RBs, but I have no problem with the Bills paying what they're paying for Cook's skill set.

On Cook's run he has a clean cutback lane to to the right and the blocker come in the clean up the defender. On Davis's run, the defender is unblocked and there is no cutback lane because the right side of the line has collapsed. Cook made an incredible move on the second level that isn't in Davis' arsenal, but the difference between getting stopped at the line there is more of a story of offensive line play than anything. Torrence failed to get to the second level to take on the blocker on Davis' run, so he's virtually out of the play. On Cook's run, he makes it to the second level to wall off the defender. That's the difference.

Josh isn’t going to play his game in bubble wrap. He’s from a family of farmers, and those are tough people. They just get things done. They don’t make excuses. I love that about him. It took McD years just to get him to slide sometimes. Josh isn’t stubborn, just a sincere desire to win. Last time I checked, he has mom than double the consecutive starts as the next QB down the level. I know that’s a concern as you get to feel invincible, but he’s delivered so far.

I thinks it's somewhere around 80/20 or 70/30 the player, then the coaching. Tom Brady was on a podcast recently and talked about this. Mostly because they were talking about Caleb but he was talking about coaching and how much it helped him. He was saying to think of it like this, we rank players on teams but do we ranking OCs or DCs on teams? Or QB coaches? Do we think the 32nd best QB coach is as good as the first? No, probably not. So, I think he believes it has some affect on your development. He then gave a good example of his career. During his rookie year, the Pats QB coach passed away, so Billy B took the job over in the interim. He said he would come into the QB room, show them next weeks opponent. Tell them about what they do in Cover 3 or how they play man or this is what they do in this situation, etc. So Brady was getting a lot of deep insight into the defensive side of the ball. He said it helped his growth, a lot. Now, saying all that Brady still had the desire to get better. To prove people/teams/scouts wrong. He was open to learning and engaging with the coaches. He had the desire to get better and sought it out. If a player doesn't pay attention or doesn't practice or doesn't want or feel the need to learn more. No amount of coaching is going to make them any better.

They will most likely wear blue over white for the NO game especially since they are wearing the white rivalry jerseys for NE. Blue over white is the primary home look so it should be worn the most at home.
