You know the rule changed, right? You don’t want to “boom” kickoffs now.

Matt Prater has a booming leg. And, ya know - is an actual Kicker. Even at 40 last season, he was still making 50+ yard kicks. Ray Davis kicked a couple extra points. Didn't get a lot of air on those XP's either. There's a reason he didn't Kick Off - they used Caden Davis for those. He's not booming Kickoffs.

Strange Brew is a stolen riff from Buddy Guy and Junior Wells song Hey Lawdy Mama. Jim Gordon wrote Layla, Rita Coolidge wrote the Piano part. Clapton stole Patti Boyd from George Harrison. Clapton a slippery thief.

The Harris contract was the most baffling deal in free agency to me.

Sure. I just don't think he was interested in speaking to anyone who disagrees with his narrative. And when you think about the number of people let go from the Bears over the past 12 months: from coaches, to support staff, to players, to personnel guys... it wouldn't be difficult to find 32 people with axes to grind. Again I am not doubting that his sources are honestly sharing their truth of what happened and what it felt like. I am doubting that is a fully rounded view of what went on in Chicago last year.

He has a ton a sources he is relying on. I am not doubting any of those sources are genuine. I am doubting that he was ever looking for dissenting voices though. I agree with @FireChans he starts with his story then works to find the sources who will back that up.

Absolutely not. Why is it not a viable plan?

You're joking, right? This has to be a joke.

Seems kinda shaky having a 41-year old kicking off under the new rules. I wonder if they would consider having Ray Davis practice kicking off…if he could do it well enough, then you’d have another big, fast player on the field instead of an old, slow guy who would not want to even try to tackle anyone.

There was never a single moment where Worthy was the correct pick for the Bills and their needs. Still true now, just as it was true on draft night. It’s wild this is even still discussed. PS - Keon was on pace for a better season than Worthy and on pace for 1,000 yards before he got hurt as a rookie. And that was on a spread the ball around offense where he was not a primary target as a rookie. Worthy was a starter the whole season and essentially the 2nd option on that team with Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes. The Bills are a better football team with Keon on it today than if Worthy was on it instead.

It's Kicker. They line up and they kick. Your Kicker's hurt? You bring in a new Kicker. Bass got hurt, we signed Prater. Why do you need to plan ahead beyond that? It's not like he needs to learn a playbook or develop chemistry with other positions. As for why they didn't sign Prater until now, it's pretty obvious that there was either a reaggravation and/or they thought the injury wasn't as bad as it was. The plan was for him to be ready to roll Week 1. They even had him kick in the last Pre-Season game. Obviously, something changed and their plans changed and they decided to shut it down. Point remains the same though. What's it matter if Prater was here earlier or when we got him? The job remains the same. He kicks off a tee on Kickoffs, he lines up and kicks field goals and extra points. I don't see his performance being better or worse coming in now vs. then.

I love you Josh Allen x

I want to win this one. I will be sad if we don't. I'm not going to take any stock into a week 1 game against a team that is on our level though. I just hope we don't get blown out again like the last regular season against them.

Here’s my defense of this from a few days ago:

What is it like to go to FOUR Super Bowls and lose them back to back to back to back!

Is this the best thread ever? I think it’s close. I never read 4 pages straight like it’s a novel.

It's our year.

Joe Marino’s take on the game -not very positive..

O's get no hit for 8.2 innings then get 6 guys in a row on base and come back from 3-0 down to a 4-3 win against the Dodgers

That would be wins against three ranked opponents , your right tip the world upside down. Boy Stanford sure has fallen off a cliff.

Hate to say it, but it sounds like you’re living in the past.

TIME TO LET A BUNCH OF MILLIONAIRES THAT DON’T KNOW I EXIST AFFECT MY DAILY MOOD FOR THE NEXT 4-5 MONTHS LET’S EFFING GOOOO!!!!
