    We've somehow found a way to lose to teams that don't have QB's. See Mac Jones, Patriots and Zach Wilson, Jets. 

    Yeah, but those weren't teams who were losing with Justin Herbert in charge.

     

    I should clarify that in the NFL, no game is a gimme, however, the Bills should absolutley not lose another game this year, and they should especially not lose this week.

    People are celebrating his passing. The world is full of sick people.

     

    100 years was a good run. RIP.

     

    He's a war criminal responsible for possibly more catastrophe and misery than any other American figure.  I didn't celebrate only because it didn't feel like a victory, dude lived a long time and never was held accountable.

    Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević.

    Stop going to games, please

     

    If someone wants to buy my season tickets for this Sunday that'd be great

    I don't really feel like going to anymore games right now anyway (did I mention I was also at the Sabres game last night where Tage broke his wrist and they lost 5-2)

  4. The last 3 games I've been able to attend were Minnesota last year, Cincinatti playoff game and Monday night.  

     

    When Cook fumbled to himself on that long run on the final drive I thought that something crazy was about to happen.

     

    Also -don't forget about the Hail Murray

    Wow.  BS is protected by law.  I can see this being appealed.

    1st - the judge is referring to the law as it is written, so not sure where you think the appeal is.

     

    2nd - What Sharpe said Favre did is almost exactly what he has been accused of doing, and I wouldn't say it's BS.

    Sharpe had said that Favre “stole money from people that really needed that money,” when commenting on Favre’s alleged role in a Mississippi welfare fraud case.

  6. PSLs are another way of taking more $ upfront, but it's not the same thing.

     

    If they ask for PSL $ starting in the next year, and then also start asking us to pay for season tickets from Nov - April instead of August - Nov or whatever it currently is, those are TWO opportunities for them to collect and hold our $ more upfront.

     

    I'm not bithcing about the Bills, or even the league here, just an observation that that's where things are and where they are going.

    Thats only if he plays the same position as the $13 million dollar player, which he doesnt.   Yes, they are both tight ends, but they dont play the same position they have different uses.    Call it what you want in 12 personnel, but Knox is the normal on the ball tight end (Y in some playbooks), meanwhile Kincaid is your off the ball split tight end (F or even H in some playbooks). 

     

    The Bills would be complete idiots to draft someone with the exact same position as Knox.   I'll take it a step further to say that NFL front offices have a much different view of players they draft than fans.  Fans are impacted by the media when it comes to the draft.  The brand new great player, the savior of the franchise etc.   I would expect teams, especially those picking in the 20's are just following their draft boards and hoping the person they bring in can help the team early on and then maybe develop into a star later after they have experience.

     

    Expecting a player fresh out of college, drafted #25th overall, to come in and be GREAT, is a pipe dream and something that only leads to disappointment.  Its a marathon not a sprint.  

     

    My point is, Kincaid cant control the routes he is asked to run, or how deep he is when Josh throws him the ball.   He is doing the portion of his job he can control to 95% percent efficiency.    If you are going to measure a receiving option on how often he drops the ball, you sure as hell better also measure them on how often they catch it, regardless of things he cant control.

     

     

     

    1. We agree on Kincaid playing a different role - the consensus was that he would play more of a receiving role and hopefully be a downfield threat.  That's hasn't materialized so far.  I don't think it's his fault.  Which leads me to 

     

    Kincaid cant control the routes he is asked to run

     

    2. Yeah, exactly.  I don't think many have a problem with Kincaid, it's with his usage.  I think it's a little fair to be disappointed that he hasn't really had any targets downfield.

     

    With that said, I also think it's a fair point that we are 2nd in the league in scoring and Kincaid is playing a significant role.

    Not sure what people wanted for a late 1st round pick.  He is doing just fine.

     

    I think you don't use a late (or any) first round pick on a position where you already have a $13 million dollar starter unless you expect them to be GREAT.  

     

    Hopefully he develops into that, but I think it's fair to be disappointed in his usage so far.

    Kincaid and Knox where MEANINGFUL Sunday.  Might not show in the stat lines.

     

    But their 12 personnel was enough of a threat that the Fins did not put a safety over top of their NB covering Diggs 1v1 because respected Kincaid and Knox to eat in the middle.

    I do think this is a great point - 


    The Bills offense is humming, and Kincaid has been heavily involved in terms of snap count and targets, so even if it's not showing on the stat sheet, it's hard to be too mad about things.
