  1. Past hour
  2. It appears that Josh’s golf mania is playing a large part with Brady. What in golf is “course management “ is now field management. Sometimes you take out the big stick and swing for green in one, and other times you lay it up, take the short chip and make a par. im all for that. Well placed big plays and then second and short all game. I. Relieve another Brady made a damn good career with that
  3. CB is our weakest spot right now…. Arguably no one on the outside after Elam. Benford is no solid oak there. Douglas is old and Elam is still a big question mark. We need a fourth outside corner and we need one bad.
  4. So you want to interpret some things literally and not others to fit your opinion. We’re done.
  5. Yes but have you considered he's gone Hollywood and golfs too much
  6. I think Hamler’s issue in injuries. But we’ll see. I think your list is pretty accurate. Should be an interesting camp.
  7. Yeah CC was a bit too “enthusiastic” If this was Mahomes CC would have stroked out.
  8. Yup! Can I marry Harrison? I will mother his children. 😆
  9. It doesn't surprise me, but it ..... disappoints me? I probably have an idealized or romanticized idea about the acceptance and tolerance levels of an NFL locker room. Say more, please? Presumably because they knew he would say things they wanted their student body to hear, based on last year's speech at Georgia Tech. Why Georgia Tech would pick a football kicker is a better question.
  10. When the dust settles and Josh's career is over, we will truly realize what a special human being that came to Buffalo.
  11. It's actually in the middle. I searched the original thread and it was closer to 50% outside with Brady in 2020.
  12. I’m saying get Clayton on the 53, play him in those dreadful Jumbo packages they’re addicted to, and have him declare as an eligible receiver. Let’s see how many defenders he can flatten.
  13. I'm all about giving people more agency to make their own choices, so I just leave it at a 45 degree angle. Sometimes I need to tighten the hinges, which is why I always have my Swiss Army knife with me.
  14. I just saw a story on WKBW Buffalo where our Josh sends a Signed jersey to a Texas family who's teen son died suddenly. The boy was a huge Josh fan. I hope everybody gets to read it. This is just another example the young man, (our guy) continuing to show genuine human decency and caring. We couldn't have a better "face of the franchise" Or ambassador for Buffalo and WNY. ..... Go Bills!!!
  15. How do you know that the WR is not what he planned for? It's just that you don't like it, and you think where the Bills are is inadequate. I get that. To be honest, I'm not thrilled with it either. I don't completely understand how they will make a productive passing attack out of that room (plus the TEs and RBs). But the fact that I don't understand doesn't really matter. I think Beane and McDermott and Brady talked extensively about what they needed in the receiver room, and I think the reasonable assumption is that they got what they wanted. That is, they came out of the draft in a way that followed the plan. I think the two trades back tell it all. If the McBeane and Brady were so desperate for receivers, they either would have taken one at 28, or they would have traded back to get additional picks so they could get two receivers. In fact, they traded back, but then they didn't take the second receiver. Why not? Because they didn't think a second receiver was necessary. The receiver room looks the way it did because of conscious, intentional choices made at OBD. How it looks is part of a carefully considered plan. Whether the plan works is a different question, and I can't argue with you if you conclude it isn't likely to work. I don't know if it'll work.
  16. In the end, everybody or every couple has to decide what is best for them, and going with Mr. Butker's suggestions is not always optimal. My wife and I both have a career in science and still managed to successfully raise two kids. On the other side, my sister had planned to return to teaching geography after her second child. Sadly, the child was severely handicapped, and she and her husband decided that he would continue working because he had a high-ranking position as a mathematician. On the other side, several years ago I was awarded a rather large research grant by the NIH (National Institutes of Health). Looking for a scientist to help me running the lab, I put an ad in Science, one of the leading journals. I got about 400 responses, but only two came close to what I expected. I hired one of them, a postdoc from Armenia, Nelli. We have published more than five papers based on her work. Her husband is a carpenter (an excellent one, judging by the work he did for us), and is supporting her for every step in her career, although, admittedly, initially it was not easy for him to give up the role as the major breadwinner. Nelli is now an associate professor at Penn State; her daughter graduated from college, her son is still in high school.
  17. Keep believing that. The NFL has profited off Taylor Swift and they want to keep doing it. It’s good business, just pissing a lot of fans off.
  18. I initially read that quote as "start her vacation as a wife and a mother" I know very well that raising children and keeping a home is challenging work, not a vacation. But when your husband makes millions of dollars and you can afford a home, as much help with housework, yardwork, cooking, and laundry as you choose, as much childcare as you choose - life is a little different than if you're trying to make ends meet on one income and worrying about what you'll do after your old, but totally functional car was totaled by a drunk driver and the insurance payout is much less than the cost to buy a comparably maintained and reliable car. Or how you'll afford a new furnace if yours can't be repaired again this winter.
  19. I think MVS at least replaces Davis, although I don't know how he measures up when asked to block. For me, they're both talented guys with good size who have demonstrated a level of inconsistency that means you can't make them the focus of your attack. (I also think Knox is one of those guys at his position, too.) However, both Davis and MSV have come through for their teams big-time from time to time, and for that reason they've been useful to their teams and worth keeping around. Once the price went up to keep Davis, he simply wasn't worth the money. So, the fact that MSV is at least in the same category and will play for less, it was a smart move. The problem is that demonstrated level of inconsistency makes neither of them is the guy you want on the field as a regular starter. Why? Because when you don't have stud #1, a guy who can give you something extra, when you've decided that receiver by committee is the best way to attack defenses, one of the basic requirements is that you execute at a high level. Over and over, you run the right route. Over and over, you catch the ball. Over and over, you make the block. This kind of passing attack is part of a philosophy that I believe strongly in: Get positive yardage on every play. Zero yardage on a play is a bad thing, and negative yardage is not even on the table. Throwing a 50-50 ball 30 yards downfield, is much worse than throwing an 80-20 ball 6 yards, even though over five plays the 50-50 ball gets you more yards. Inconsistency results in unnecessary zero-yardage plays, so this philosophy means that you don't want inconsistent receivers on the field. It's almost as though consistency is more important than greatness. I liked having Davis on the team, and I like having MSV for the same reasons, but I'm sure hoping Shakir, Samuel, and Coleman get the job done, because I don't want to have to depend on a steady diet of MSV.
  20. I've said this a few times already, but Hamler is an extreme long shot. I see him as a guy who either shows a little something and his ceiling is the Practice Squad or he shows poorly and is outright cut. He's this year's Andy Isabella. A 2nd Round bust who failed to impress in his 2nd chance in Indianapolis. He's on his 3rd team in less than a year. Regardless of how he looks playing with Trubisky and Buechele in the 3rd and 4th Quarters of Pre-Season games, it's not going to matter - as it didn't for Isabella. Because we know if we release him, the 3rd team to do so in a year, he's not going to be put immediately on someone elses 53 to start the season. Every year, fans play the "there's no way we can get (so and so) back" and every year we do. As for who sticks - Keon Coleman Curtis Samuel Khalil Shakir Marquez Valdes-Scantling Mack Hollins Justin Shorter or Chase Claypool
  21. Well yeah. Cornelius Bennett was only like 2 years old during Cookie's last season with Denver. Was probably already hitting harder than Edmunds, though.
