transient

I’m in between in between 3 and 5. I am definitely a football fan, not just a Bills fan, but I didn’t join until I left the Buffalo area (I lurked for a few years after leaving Buffalo before joining, and then it was an while before I actually started posting semi-regularly). I missed talking football with Bills fans, and TBD is a good source of Bills information for the out-of-towner. I’m not one to contribute significantly to hardcore X’s and O’s discussions because I don’t have the background, and while I enjoy reading them, in my opinion they get hijacked too often and become unreadable, so if I was relying on them as my sole source of TBD enjoyment I probably would have skipped town by now…

She probably sized him up and didn’t feel he was interesting enough to be a chart topping breakup song.

The “at least 50%” was a reference to mrags “100% correct” comment, not in reference to lipomas at all. As I responded upthread, the point of the case series, regardless of the specifics, was to suggest Dareus believing this to be the cause wasn’t as ludicrous as it was being made to seem. Conclusive or not, there is a whole body of literature exploring whether there is a causal relationship between trauma and lipomas, and yet somehow Dareus is a fool for believing this might have had something to do with his. As mrags made clear in his response, it’s about his litany of past sins… not anything to do with the bump on his head at all.

I’m assuming you were meaning that I must have missed the conclusion… Do you take “controversial” to mean there is definitive evidence that trauma does NOT cause them, because I was suggesting that Dareus believing that trauma was responsible for it was not as far fetched as it was being made to seem.

Or at least 50% correct… Lipomas after blunt soft tissue trauma: are they real? Analysis of 31 cases

I'm not going to defend Hackett, but the offenses of the Turk Schonert/Alex Van Pelt seasons were unwatchable?

I was in NOLA when he was a Saint. It’s not that he doesn’t have physical talent, it’s that he’s too stupid to play CB in the NFL… and he’s too stupid to understand that he’s too stupid, thinks he’s Darrelle Revis in his prime.

5, actually - Giants, Saints, Carolina, Bengals, now Miami. Hill looks like a clown trying to emulate a Macho Man Savage press conference… he just forgot to add the fake growly voice.

IDK, by the time a quarter of the season is over Krafty may have to bring in his masseuse to boost moral after the team’s suckitude has been rubbed in their faces by their giant scoreboard week in and week out. 😂

Very sweet. I wonder if they had to edit out the part after her talking about the Cam Lewis autograph where she said she was off to burn the hat… I may be projecting a little, though. 🤷‍♂️

Look at the air he has to put under a 25 yd pass. 😂 If we had a healthy secondary at any point when we played them last year this isn’t even a thread.

It’s really not too surprising when you think about it in the context of Payton’s history. He’s not saying anything that others haven’t thought, he’s just saying it out loud. His willingness to call out the league in a way that rubs it’s nose in its stupidity, consequences be damned, killed the Saints for years.

More importantly, was a back flip involved.

Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney leaves practice with knee injury - ESPN Maybe the chiefs can sign D Hopk... oooohhhh, toooooo bad, soooooo sad. Such "bad" timing. Doesn't sound like a bad injury, but then Toney tweaking his knee in camp probably has already set him up for another short season.

I have Saints season tickets, just moved to ATL and went to an Atlanta United game in the MB Dome a few weeks back, and was at the Pats-Bills game at Highmark in January. Saints is middle of the road fare, Atlanta United was truly good for stadium food and the food at the Bills game was inedible… seriously some of the worst food I’ve paid for in the last 20 years. I would have preferred to have eaten the stuff I bought from the cafeteria in high school to that disgusting 💩.

I’m not necessarily buying this report, especially since it reads like it was written in crayon by one of the kids in this guys photo, but the contracts for Harris and Murray are hardly the sort of commitments that would keep the Bills from upgrading… they were intentionally put together in a way that they didn’t offset the comp pick algorithm, hardly cap busting and hardly a guarantee of a roster spot.

Sounds like he was on the interstate at 3 am by the report… if that’s the case, and he wasn’t intoxicated, it’s not smart, but it’s not like he was weaving his way through a school zone in the middle of the day. I may or may not have driven similarly recklessly on the interstate in vehicles that were not nearly as well equipped for speeds like that when I was but a wee lad…

Bryan Cox loves Buffalonians… Tom Brady is trustworthy… Ritchie Incognito is sane…

He runs like his brother, only less decisive and slightly smaller… two things that can be addressed with an NFL offseason under his belt.

And yet, despite all those wonderful stats, he’s 1-4 in the playoffs and has a slightly worse winning percentage than Tyrod Taylor as a starter. He’s a stat padder.

I said Lamar. Jones and Carr are basically going rate for an avg QB in 2023. Jones’s contract has an out in 2025 and Carr’s in 2026. Rogers, even if he continues to decline, only puts the Jets in a bind for 2 seasons. Lamar has more in guarantees than the total value of any of those other contracts over 5 years without an “out” built in… and he’s played less and less football the last few seasons due to injury and hasn’t closed out a season since 2020… I suspect at the end of 2023 the Ravens are really going to wish they stuck to their guns on the contract structure.

So now he’s stealing lil’ Dalvin’s role and his last name?

Arguing that you can’t win a SB with a middling QB isn’t a justification for overpaying for a star RB. If anything, the last 15 years demonstrate that teams that are dependent on their running game over their QB would be better off tearing it all down until they find their QB than paying a stud RB a lot of money to overcome their QB deficiencies, assuming that winning the SB is their goal.

I’ll do you one better, let’s look at the last 15 SB winners and identify the teams with RBs making 15M dollars… or 10M dollars, even… the season they won the SB. If you want, do it by percentage of cap space taken up for a more accurate comparison… eyeballing it, it’s probably only Seattle with Marshawn Lynch that even approximates what you’re talking about, and I have no idea if he was in his peak contract years when they won it.

None of whom have a ring among them…
