  1. Context is so important for these practices, and we rarely get it save for some fine folks on here and Astro. My biggest takeaway is just how bad our backup centers are. Would have been good to see Feliciano not get injured and continue to grow there. Ah well. Have to hope Morse all of a sudden ends what seems to be a scary trend.
  2. Count me among those actually concerned about this. Recurring concussions, and at that position? Eff.
  3. I can't stand Gruden. What a joke.
  4. Astro's notes are a hallmark of summer. A real treasure.
  5. I live in Seattle. Was born in buffalo. I've run into a few bills fans and shop owners amidst all the Seahawks fans. The latter get way too bad a rap. They're solid fans.
  6. Trent Edwards. Have spoken at length a number of times about his experiences with the Bills.
  7. In general I find that critiquing last year's handling of the QB competition is pretty cheap, outside of the fact that they should have kept McCarron on the roster. Blindly committing to Allen would have been foolish, although you could tell they were thinking about going with him until the Bengals preseason fiasco. But my poorly elucidated point it that I don't really hold a QB competition that involves a rookie against them...or any QB staff in that situation.
  8. I'm hopeful. This is the year that he should make noise, if he's going to.
  9. I have no doubt. I just said the lifestyle may help prevent them from becoming girlfriends. ?
  10. Probably prevents girls from becoming girlfriends too. Very process, Matt. Very process. Ball is life.
  11. I'm glad we have Allen and am optimistic he can develop, but I wouldn't say he "accomplished" anything so cut and dry that opinions can't reasonably vary. The expectations for him are crazy high this season. I'm guilty of feeding that at times, myself. But my point is that the jury is still very much out and one could have watched all the snaps last season and have real concerns. Not "he's awful" concerns, but he needs to significantly alter portions of his game to be what we want him to be. I choose to believe he'll get there.
  12. A 3rd is an interesting question. It seems high, but is that partially because we wonder why Minny wants to trade him?
  13. It's startling to think how fast the years go by - I started lurking here after a 10-0 loss to the Packers in '02. This place is a steady presence, and only during times where I look back do I realize how much the board has meant to me. RIP Sue. Too young indeed.
  14. Gase it nuts but I kind of don't want them to move on from Mac. Felt like he wasn't going to get them anywhere.
  15. I'm admittedly surprised about this, but I won't pretend to know the ins and outs of contracts and long term planning like Beane.
  16. I'm in. I don't gamble but screw it, I'll take the over.
  17. Yup. Place a bet.
  18. Yup. Precisely my feelings.
