LERRRRROOOYYYY JEEEERNKKKKKKKKKIIIIIIIIIINNNNNSSSSS

Jacksonville at least has the Atlantic Ocean right there. I hate to say it guys, but in terms of most boring NFL cities it might come down to Buffalo or Green Bay.

Several of your “concerns” are blown out of the water by the very fact that the NFL keeps increasing their revenue. At what point are your concerns irrelevant? Fact: Boxing never had a cultural connection to the US. Fact: Horseracing is a fringe sport that is impossible for the masses to participate in or relate to. Fact: Baseball has had a cultural connection to this country for a century, and theres a reason why its still extremely relevant today. Some of the other conerns you express apply to ALL sports, not just football. Its expensive to attend any professional league game. The NFL still has the least amount of games of any of the big 3 sports, and its not even close. The anthem thing is nothing more than a blip on the radar; a knat on an elephants ass. And revenue numbers contradict your concern. Which sport doesnt have product concerns? Baseball is like water torture at times. The final few minutes of any basketball game take over half an hour with all the timeouts. Flopping in soccer. Etc. Technology threats? You lost me. CTE: we live in a country that is among the most violent in the planet; we romanticize war; we love MMA; we love guns; we love violence. We’ve always known (even if only anecdotally) that bashing your head for a living couldnt be good for you, yet here we still are today. On the flipside: athletes get paid well for their services and sacrifices.

Even if the NFL goes 100% onto a streaming service almost everyone has a smart tv in the house today. The NFL isnt going anywhere. The NFL is the perfect league for various reasons: 1. Its in the fall/winter. TV’s highest rated shows premiere in the fall for a reason. 2. Very little, if any, competition from any other sports. 3. Fantasy football is huge. Now sports gambling is becoming legal in many states. Football is one of the best leagues to bet money in. (In my opinion) 4. Most of the games are played on a Sunday. People are usually home on Sundays, during the Fall, with nothing else to watch other than reruns of god knows what. Saying the NFL is doomed to fail is like saying england’s EPL or spain’s La Liga are doomed to fail. Its crazy talk. These leagues are part of the culture of these societies. You might as well say BBQ is doomed to fail one day too. Heck, maybe 300yrs from now, who knows...

That’s cute and all, but where do they rank Tyrod?

Oh no my friend, you could not be more incorrect.

The 2005 draft when Aaron Rodgers was there in the 20’s and we didn’t have a pick in the 1st round bc we traded it away in 2004 for the great JP LOSMAN. ??‍♂️??‍♂️??‍♂️

You are nuts. (No disrespect intended)

The one thing that makes me doubt what this woman says above all else is that shes clearly a hustler. Shes been living in Shady’s mansion rent free for how long now? Has managed to play the system by saying that the eviction notice was served on her son and therefore not valid service. Shes hustling. Clearly she got beaten pretty bad; however I find it odd that this lady got the snot beat out of her on Tuesday morning and by Tuesday afternoom shes posting stuff on social media? Are you kidding me? How can you even see? That entire diatribe seemed pretty well thought out for someone who should be sleeping for a week straight. Who does she hang out with? Did a family member set HER up so shed get a payday from McCoy and the entire family benefits at her expense? Or was she possibly in on this? Did she have guys over who knew what expensive jewlery she had? Did she brag to friends about her jewlery? Then you have the scenario where she and all her associates are 100% innocent and this is Shady attacking her by proxy. Possible, certainly. But probable? I personally dont think so. Shady is worth tens of millions. Hes going to risk his career to attack her over a few thousand dollars of jewlery? We’ve all seen people do crazy things but those crazy things usually happen in the heat of the moment. People lose their cool and violence ensues as tempers boil over quickly. But something like this would be 100% premeditated and thought out. I cant see Shady being THAT crazy to plot such a premeditated attack over jewelry and a house, which by the way sooner or later he legally would be able to wait her out and evict her legally. He owns many houses. Just my 2 cents. Sorry for ramble.

No player that played primarily in an all-white league should ever be placed in a top anything list. The competition today is light years ahead of what it was 50-60yrs ago. Only the best of the best get to play today whereas back then certain groups of people simply werent even allowed to play. Any player that excels in the modern era is worlds better than a player from 60yrs ago; or even 30-40 years ago. Theyre faster, stronger and more specialized today. Not even going to address the Aaron Rodgers omission. A QB like Russel Wilson is 10x the player than Otto Graham ever was. Otto Graham would never even make an NFL roster today much less be among the best QB’s in the league; it’s not even debatable. The Otto Graham era of the NFL is akin to a bunch of your buddies getting wasted on thanksgiving and playing football in the backyard today. The level of specialization and competition in today’s NFL is unlike anything from decades ago. History is awesome and everything has its place in history, but lets not delude ourselves into thinking Otto can sniff the jock strap of even the worst QB’s in the league today.

Im a big fan of the old school Bucs jersey/helmet/color combo

Russia just showed the world how anti-football is played. 11 players in front of goal for 120minutes. Playing bunker ball as if they were a High School team playing Spain. Embarrassing display. Yeh, Spain didn’t play well (hard to do when there are 20 players in a 20yd space on the field) but at least they were trying. Russia’s game was simply to do everything except play football. And they got rewarded for it.

As a little kid, I initially started rooting for the Giants in that Super Bowl. I started rooting for the Bills as the game went on. Im the reason for wide right; Im the reason for everything. Forgive me.

The fact that you went through this process in your mind is concerning.

PFF ranked Tyrod Taylor as the #12 Best Starting QB in the NFL in 2017. Im among the biggest TT fans but we all know he wasnt #12 in the NFL. We all watch Bills games. We all know what Hughes does and doesnt do; unfortunately its more of the latter and not the former the last few years.

Yes it’s not all about the sacks; however, it’s a lengthy trend. Hughes had 4 sacks last season, 6 the season prior, and 5 the season before. If he’s not stout vs the run (which he’s not) and isn’t getting sacks, what’s he doing? Ah yes, creating “pressure” (except that’s not really happening either). He’s certainly not racking up tackle totals either. He must be a unicorn: he’s awesome, but doesn’t get sacks, and doesn’t get tackles. He’s had a whopping 2 forced fumbles and zero fumble recoveries over the last 31 games started. 5 sacks/season over the last 3 seasons is Chris Kelsay territory.

I dont necessarily disagree with anything you say in theory however the reality is different. There were games where Hughes wasn’t even seen in the game. You don’t think Joey Bosa is double teamed? Who ranked him the 20th best pass rusher out of 64?

8 weeks last season without a sack. In that 8 week span he had 3 tackles in a 5 week stretch. 3 total tackles, 0 sacks in 5 weeks. Thats good? Hes our highest paid player vs the cap. I expect more.

Thats fine, you can disagree. Fact is that Hughes is paid to get sacks. There are stretches of weeks where he doesnt get a single sack. He went 8 weeks last season without a sack. Hes supposed to be our pass rush specialist. And hes not great vs the run. I like Hughes but he disappears for long stretches of the season. Yeh he gets double teamed at times.

I agree. Hughes has been outright bad for a bit now. Doesnt get enough pass rush and is bad vs the run. That combo equals a liability.

I thought Lawson was at least pretty solid vs the run.

ESPN Bills reporter Mike Rodak believes 2016 first-round DE Shaq Lawson is "competing for a rotational role, if not for his 53-man roster spot entirely" this summer. Rodak thinks the team could try and trade Lawson ahead of Week 1, especially once free agent pickup Trent Murphy (knee) is back to 100 percent opposite Jerry Hughes. Buffalo also has Eddie Yarbrough, Terrence Fede, and Owa Odighizuwa as rotational pieces. Lawson, the No. 19 overall pick by ex-coach Rex Ryan, has just six sacks across 21 career appearances. -espn

Quick question: for everyone that said “this isnt at all surprising,” how many of you were saying that months ago? Probably none. Tyrod was the worst starting QB in the NFL and Mayfield was already a better QB than Tyrod. That was the narrative. And not only Mayfield. Any of the QBs drafted in the first round were an instant upgrade. But now, now its not surprising. Ridiculous.

Safeties? Probably quite a few. Safeties are lining up usually 15yds off the LOS, if not more. By the time the QB drops back hes probablu about 8yds behind the LOS if not more. “Seeing the eyes” is largely overstated as theres about a 3” gap in the facemask for you to see his eyes from almost 30yds out. And players are running and moving around while theyre doing this (bouncing makes it harder to see something that small at that distance). theyre mainly looking at which way his head is pointed. LB’s could probably see this more.

To me OL is the weakest link in the entire team, way worse than WR. What happens if Dawkins misses games with an injury? Arguably the worst line in the NFL
