I live in raleigh, we get the panthers preseason games. Obviously it's against players not in the nfl, totally get that... the accuracy and the ball placement on those short throws is insane for a player with Josh Allen's physical toolkit (not sure on his arm strength compared to Allen). Plus how he seemingly has a plan when things go off script and he's moving to set stuff up and not just bailing...

The way the Bills made Joe Milton look the Patriots would be foolish not to try and trade him for some draft capital. What the chances a team would pay a 2nd or 3rd?
Joe Milton had looked that good all preseason and not just in preseason games, reports out of training camp were that he was absolutely crushing it all camp

One needs to consider that Milton played against 2nd & 3rd string guys that everyone hopes they never see the field in a game that counts,
He may be better than Maye, but Maye isn’t particularly good,
Totally get that, but his poise and ability to move in the pocket to buy time...he's gonna be really really good I think and they drafted him in the freaking 6th round...hopefully they trade him the the giants for their second this year...I wouldn't be super shocked if a new coach comes in though and names Milton the starter...I don't think he's just better than Maye, I think Milton could be elite (hopefully someone who actually knows football can weigh in on this, but like I said, I based this off watching Milton in the preseason and the bills game)...also, the bills weren't playing the 75th player on the preseason roster...he played against mostly legit nfl role players...granted the bills defense isn't the best version, but these are players that have been rostered on nfl rosters all season largely.

Face it, the Pats still need a ton of position upgrades, and likely a real QB, Maye isn’t all that and a bag of chips, they fuh ked up by not capitalizing on a great opportunity when it was knocking on their door, all this silly rationalizing otherwise is just a waste of brain activity and time spent typing those thoughts out onto the web. They done screwed the pooch no matter how anyone try’s to spin it.
GO BILLS!!!
I think there is a real and legit chance that Milton is better than Maye and I thought that after watching Milton in the preseason...like yeah them losing the first overall pick is a massive loss in value... but Milton just raised his trade value significantly with that performance and it might honestly potentially even out (though I'm guessing Milton already had a significantly high trade value following his preseason performances)

I say rest em.. Were not gonna get the one seed cause I can’t see those lucky chiefs losing 2 in a row… They’ll get some lucky bull#### call or the quarter back from the other team will get hurt and they’ll squeak out another win… There luckier than Brady and the patriots were back in the day
I don't think those Pats teams were lucky...*

What are the rules for having to declare something like this on the injury report? Any draft picks at risk?

Josh is operating at an other-worldly level right now. Aware of everything. It’s special to watch and I hope all Bills fans appreciate it.
Based on the reactions after the Rams game... I'm gonna have to say for many, all signs point to not really
It's so crazy how the rams game and the lions game was basically the bills being on both sides of the exact same coin/game script and it's so encouraging seeing how the team intentionally made adjustments to be that team in control against the lions by being much more aggressive early...not really hearing too many of the same people saying it was an example of self scouting and growth

He looked noticeably hobbled at least one of those times there were questions about whether he’d play and he ended up playing through it. He definitely does seem like someone who will play up an injury though can’t argue that 😂
if he does have a nagging injury though trotting him out behind those bad OTs seems like a bit of a risk
High ankle sprains are a very different animal...I know he played on one last year iirc, but if they're more than very mild, playing on one can risk long term damage as I understand it...might not he his choice or just a pain tolerance situation.

My Uncle Al had bile duct cancer. He declined rapidly and passed within months as his case was incurable. This hit me in the heart.
Get better Randy! 🙏
My dad got diagnosed at basically the same exact age with I think the same cancer what I think would have been him being diagnosed 20 years ago this past August. Felt fine until he got jaundiced and felt really tired...he got tested and for a second they thought it was just a clogged bile duct, but then they did the actual conclusive test and it very much wasn't.
He got chemo and was in a clinical trial for some immuno therapy...didn't get the surgery (it wouldn't have helped)...they had given him months, but with the immunotherapy he made it over a year and half...but yeah, basically same age of diagnosis and bile duct cancer as well.
Bigger reason I'm sharing is that immunotherapy has come incredibly far since then...I often think of what would have happened if it was now instead of then...also think a lot about the fact I'm 40 now, and in seven years I'll be the same age when he got diagnosed

I was just wondering about that. Is the “surprise” onside kick totally dead? I believe it was Saints/Colts Super Bowl they opened a half with the surprise onside kick.
If you line up for an onside kick, can you decide to pick it deep? How does that work?
Totally dead and I would imagine you have to do an onside, but I'm not super familiar with the rule.

I think that’s exactly why it should NOT be changed. It gives ANOTHER giant advantage to the teams with stud QBs and makes it that much harder for the 25ish teams that don’t.
i do think something needs to change regarding the onside kick. Something that doubles or triples the likelihood of success to 15-20%. Idk what that is exactly but!
also, I can imagine a scenario where a coach like Dan Campbell has a QB like Allen and never kicks off and instead let’s “Allen” ball out on 4-15 every single time.You can only do an onside kick while down and I believe in the 4th quarter now (since the new kickoff rules).
Agree with everything else

My mother had that and it was the first sign she had Pancreatic Cancer...
Tumor was blocking the bile duct and causing bilirubin to build up in the body.
There are a lot of things it could be, but none of them are good.
Bile duct cancer will do that as well...
Got my dad before he turned 50

I've read, only speculation, he has yellow eye. could be liver disease?
Cancer in that area can very much cause that as well...

I don’t see that, but I can understand CBD does help with some forms of pain and sleep. It doesn’t enhance performance. My eldest son has had 6 sports concussions, and sometimes under his medical card uses CBDto sleep or deal with the chronic migraines. He was a helluva an athlete on a D1 scholarship. It’s funny as he was a great young AB, but all of the concussions came from Lax, not football, even though he played LB, and QB. He knew how to evade people. A little hard to do when you’re getting repeatedly cheap shotted by opponents who are getting killed by him by hitting in the back of the neck etc. to stop him.I honestly could care less if they want to use thx as long as they don’t get behind the wheel.
I played varsity lacrosse in high school...I now live in the raleigh area and go to Duke and UNC lax games, which I saw some crazy high ranked matchups, the quality of lax within a bit over half an hour from me is insane.
Anyway, the speed and intensity of D1 lacrosse...it's really basically a different sport, it's insane

Can't wait to see Cooper, Coleman, Kincaid, Shakir and a healthy Samuel on the field at the same time.....that's an arsenal that Josh Allen can lead all the way to the Superb Owl!!
Go Bills!!
I want a Superb Owl so freaking bad now!!!

Yikes, indeed. They head-scatchingly bet the farm on Jones as their franchise QB and paid him $40 million per year only to demote him to 3rd (some say 4th) string and have him play practice squad safety the other day in drills.
Usually a GM doesn't survive a mistake that monumental. Unless it wasn't Schoen's call.
He's got a bunch of injury guaranteed money, so yeah I mean it was his call, but they'd be silly to risk an injury so just good gm'ing
Edit: to clarify the good gm part I am referring to is the benching to avoid an injury guarantee, not the deal they signed him to. but....
didn't they also build in an out into that contract or am I remembering things wrong?
Are we sure this isn't kinda part of the plan in a way? Have Jones as a bridge to get a new qb after the rest of the team got built up a bit first...if they're not fired, it could give a bit of a clue.
-
Anyone know if he has offset language in his contract?
-
Oh I want them to get this done so bad! No way he clears waivers...bring him in on the practice squad as the 4th qb

I honestly didn't even celebrate the way I normally would (jumping up and down and in 360s) while watching that run, at least not in the moment...just fist pump when he got the first, stood up when I realized he had a chance to score, big fist pump, a huge sigh of relief and then grabbed my 7 year old while he was flipping out and gave him a big hug.
I think mostly I was waiting to make sure he wasn't hurt before celebrating, but what a freaking play!

Yea, 0-4 and we have to make major changes. Agreed.
Lol, that's where we disagree...0-4 doesn't necessarily mean we need major change at all...it depends on how they lost and all that...also, what was Tampa Bay's record after 12 games the year the won their last super bowl?
What I'm really saying is that I saw somewhere the bills were -5000 to win the afc east...I feel like there is a better chance than that that the bills lose their next four and the dolphins win their next five and they are tied in the loss column than the odds of -5000...there might be some value to hedge there potentially...I don't gamble on sports though, just pointing out a potential value bet to toss a few bucks on something that is unlikely, but feels more likely than the odds

You’ll enjoy them going 0-4 because of the process? What ***** process? What direction are we going?
Not at all what I'm saying... what I'm saying is there is a possibility that they lose all of these next four games and the result is not that they are not a competative team that can't go far in the playoffs or that they should blow it all up.

Anyone know if Josh Allen's house is at risk at all?
