Which is to say...they're not completely set. Which has been the point.

I thought the purpose of preseason games was to see how you can improve your roster.
Starters are pretty much set, as are many depth guys from the previous season.
The games are largely a bunch of back benchers and soon to be cut scrubs struggling to get a spot. Once the games end, 40% of the summer roster instantly disappears.

Tomlin don't even care anymore---just cashing checks, daring poor old man Rooney to fire him.

Yes, in this situation- because safeties are immune to improving because…. Of last seasons competition. Got it.
sanders was such a bum that he out snapped Gabe by a wide margin.
competition often breeds improvement. That’s my point. My only point here
"outsnapped"? lol, ok. let's run with that. 626 yards over 747 snaps for Sanders is 0.84 yards per snap. Compare to 549 yards over 410 snaps for Davis yielded 1.34 yards per--a whopping 59% difference in efficiency of utilization between the 2. Let's now add in that every pass Davis caught in 2021 (35) was either a TD or a 1st down. Compare that to Sanders, where 35 of 42 passes were TDs (fewer than Davis) or 1st downs.
you will now conclude that Davis was a more efficient WR when he was in the game than Sanders--good work!

But aren’t many of these streaming services monthly. For example, Netflix. You don’t pay one monthly fee. You have to pay that $15 fee (or whatever it is now) each month of the season. So aren’t some of the prices higher than quoted?
The problem with all this is that no single service allows you to watch all of one teams games, let alone all teams games. So the value of each is all over the place. So I need Netflix to watch just a couple games. I need Amazon, YouTube, over the air antenna, I don’t even know what else.
i have most of those streaming services and still watch the free/illegal feeds half the time because I don’t have the energy to figure out which device/app I need to tune to. Just to see the refs screw over whoever the Chiefs are playing. It’s gotten ridiculous. And yes I’m old. But in addition to those damn kids staying off my lawn, the NFL needs to think about the fans just a little and stop spreading their content to every conceivable format, time slot and continent all while making us pay for it twice - once for the service, secondly for all the damn ads that pop up everywhere! Then I’ve paid for it all.. but I still can’t watch replays/highlights without more ads or services. It’s just out of hand.
Yes, you get lots of pop up ads on the illegal streams, but at least those are mostly porn ads. So you get something better to click away.
Im not complaining, I’m just saying the NFL policies are forcing people to find work arounds more than just people’s desire to get something for free.
you can sign up for any streamer for a month and cancel.out of area, there has never been one network that you could watch all of one team’s games

While true, that won’t stop Beane from giving him a contract
Someone faster would have brought it to the house.
Beane has an endless stack of 1 year contracts for guys about to exit the NFL -

This post could be top 5 most enjoyable in @Mr. WEO history
Which annual competition are you speaking of? There has been exactly 1 completion at S under this regime. Taylor Rapp played much better than I had anticipated. Damar Hamlin, while not my choice, played slightly better than I had anticipated as well.
or are you speaking of every position? As in Elam vs Benford….in which a 6th rd pick is now an All pro. Or 5th rd pick Shakir is now a 15M WR. Or Spencer brown (vs Daryl Williams) David edwards (vs Svpg) your lover boy Gabe Davis (vs sanders, brown), Milano, Bernard and Dorian Williams (vs entire units of vets)
competition breeds improvement. I’m fairly confident this is a fact in most aspects of life…..
but do you mang. Typical Weo nonsense. Just here to argue
In this case, I was clearly was referring to Safeties ( the hint was that I quoted your post about current safeties in my response). Elam was a bum. So were Sanders and Brown.
despite this preseason competition at safety, you claimed these guys are adequate as starters.
you stumble over your own thoughts, amusing yourself, it seems…

a year ago, it was calculated as half as much. https://www.thelines.com/nfl-schedule-release-cost-streaming-sunday-ticket-peacock-netflix-amazon-prime-2024/
YouTube TV basic package: $73/month ($438 total)
NFL Sunday Ticket: $239/year
Amazon Prime Video: $15/month ($75 total)
Peacock Premium subscription: $6/month ($6 total)
Netflix standard subscription: $15.50/month ($15.50 total)
Est. taxes and fees: $92.50
Grand total to watch every NFL game this season: $866
As many have pointed out, you can get Sunday ticket stand alone. also, not sure why ESPN is listed at $105 when it's included in YTTV, for example.
anyway, 20 of 272 games were streamed last year. how many fans typically seek to watch every game of the season?? Hopeless gamblers maybe.
also, complaining about the "greed" of the NFL falls flat. they have a wildly popular product that is in endlessly increasing demand. Why shouldn't they get what the market will bear? if you absolutely feel you must see every single NF game, , then you will pay for that. What other private business that lowers the price for having more access to their product.

Competition isn’t dependent on the plays being called. In this specific situation, which safety is assured of being a starterr in 2025? Imo, none are. This increases the chances that everyone…:not just scrubs, will be working harder, hence giving them a better chance to improve…. My point.
competition breeds improvement in many cases. Except w/e is going on in your head
well, let's see... Rapp and Hamlin have, combined, 6 training camps in Buffalo. Has this annual competition made them much better? You would have to argue, based on your own statement above, that obviously it has not.

I think that’s a fake quote, but I can see him coming back midseason when Bosa goes on IR.
a 36 year old player already in decline is going to roll int Buffalo week 9 in ready to play in NFL shape?

You don’t think competition in preseason can make a player better?
against teammates in scenarios where everyone knows the plays? why would it? it may make some of the scrubs work harder to get a roster spot I guess, but not really at the top end.
Just now, Doc said:More bodies means more chances for a better player to assume the starting role. But you knew that.

Good. The more competition at safety the better.
Competition in preseason doesn't make Rapp/Bishop/Hamlin better on game day. It just weeds out the low end for cuts.

Hope they don't make that mistake again.
Hope...
As opposed to Bills simply shrugging off Diggs's departure: had #2 scoring offense, won the division again. He wasn't missed at all.

What is there to gripe about in the zoomed out look? First, he wasnt a Pickens or AB level of malcontent. Dude wanted money and more targets... literally EVERY WR in the NFL. He was young and hadnt peaked yet. He helped Josh develop, we got 2 absolutely elite years out of him, leading the league in yards one of them.
^^looking at this, we traded a 1st (and 5th?), and recouped a 2nd... So we netted all the above, for the equivalent of a 1 round trade back?
I WISH WE COULD MAKE THIS KIND OF MISTAKE THIS OFF-SEASON.
Not sure what zoomed out look is.
But what do the Bills have to show for the Diggs era? A 1st for a second and big dead cap sandwich?
Let's not make that mistake every off season....especially if it is preventable.

With hardly a passing game, teams are going to be tee-ing off on Barkley and the Eagles this year.

I think its also a very weird, very poorly regulated market. They regulate supplements like they are food, not medicine. So the actual use and effectiveness is measured by the manufacturer, and its also pretty easy to just put whatever you want in it and leave it off the label. End of the day - he didn't go to a team doctor to ask for their recommendation about whether something unapproved was in the product he was using.
I found this quote to be kind of interesting though:
FDA does test some dietary supplements but we’re talking about a marketplace of over 100,000 products and we have limited resources to analyze the composition of dietary supplements. Because of this, we focus our resources first on public health emergencies and products that may have caused injury or illness. At that point, we prioritize products that we suspect to be adulterated, fraudulent, or otherwise in violation of the law. The remaining resources are used to analyze product samples collected during inspections of manufacturing facilities or pulled from store shelves as part of FDA’s routine monitoring of the marketplace. FDA does not test dietary supplements before they are sold to consumers. If consumers would like an analysis of a product’s content, they may contact the dietary supplement manufacturer or a commercial laboratory on their own.

My guess isn't that he did not take some sort of weird or mysterious multivitamin or exotic supplement just on a whim. He took anabolics, HGH or adderol.

I don't think anyone is making the argument they don't know that they're playing to the limit and a little past it with PEDs. That's not really the issue here.
It's not about not taking banned substances, it's about not taking too much so you don't get popped. These guys aren't dosing out their own supplements. They have professionals for that, and I fully believe they're capable of screwing up, probably by misjudging what a player's test result will grade on a given day as a result of getting a little too risky with the program.8 hours ago, Doc Brown said:There's also the "I take so much juice at once and so many masking agents I get confused so I just let my trainer take care of it and pray he doesn't screw up" approach. Either way, you look a hell of a lot better if you take full responsibility for it imo. Especially when there's no qualifiers in front of that statement.
well both of these scenarios involve a player who knows he's taking banned substances. this bro is claiming he didn't know...which has to be a lie.
this is the discussion.
