No Mancz?

Gotta make room for Gronk.

Would he fetch a starting punter in trade?

I’m saying Shaq. The D line is stacked, and he got a suspiciously high number of snaps vs. Denver. Could be they were marketing him for sale.

I also noticed he has a bad habit of doing these little hop-step , skippy things while trying to decide on a running lane, rather than keeping the wheels turning. A pro RB has to keep the wheels moving at all times.

This is ridiculous! I know the Donkeys are playing their scrubs, but even scrubs make a play once in a while. These guys can do nothing.

I know, all game long! Also, the color guy is completely incoherent. Apparently CBS is also playing their third-stringers this preseason.

It's not the NFL's place to serve justice to a criminal, so I think the suspension and fines from the league are more or less irrelevant. What is relevant, though, is whether or not Watson can get a job based on his conduct. That's for the individual teams to decide. The real crime is that the Browns not only signed him, but gave him one of the richest contracts in NFL history, and one that was structured with the assumption that he would be suspended for a long time. That's a sickening statement. I would like to think that most teams would not do that, but who knows.

The guy from NPR News?

And I think Josh is just fine with it all. He doesn't seem like the kind of guy who will complain about making $40M when someone else is making $43M.

I was kind of hoping Carolina would sign him...

If we are talking overall quality of QB play over multiple seasons: Fitz - I think the best all-around QB the Bills had during the QB drought. Tyrod - yes, more successful than Fitz but just so frustratingly tentative with throwing the football that I could never give him the top spot. Bledsoe - Had the arm, but that's about it. Followed by NOBODY. For straight-up QB play, regardless of tenure: Flutie - Short time, but arguably the most exciting player of the QB drought. A winner, if nothing else. Fitz Orton

Allen is great at extending the play until the defensive backs can't maintain coverage, then hitting a guy 15 yards downfield. It gets the job done, but this style of throw is almost never a 'hit him in stride' kind of thing. Think of all the sideline throws just as Josh is about to step out of bounds, etc. It's kind of his bread and butter.

Despite dealing with serious mental health issues, he was the best guard the Bills have had since Ruben Brown. By a significant margin, I would say.

The only way he can win is if 1. (God forbid) the team is beset by major injuries and they still go deep or win it all. 2. It's total domination from wire to wire. 3. No other coach takes a team with low expectations to legit contender status. But as of now, the Bills are too loaded a team for their coach to even qualify for COY in most seasons.

The Bills were definitely a laughingstock through much of the '80s. Not just bad, but terrible. But I don't believe there was ever talk of moving the team out of Buffalo, at least not to my knowledge. But then again, I'm not much older than you. So, Smith and Kelly and company restored a lot of good will and excitement, but I don't think they actually saved the team.

Dang, I'm glad I'm not out there trying to scrape by with just 9 million bucks to my name.

Embarrassing, really. What's the point? You just created an eternal beef over a trivial situation that most people, myself included, are totally unaware of. Boselli's induction will always be questioned because of the duration of his career, but he was the dominant player at his position pretty much the entire time he played. Even if Bruce is 'right', there's no point in going this route.

A Bills Legend forever, but, respectfully, not qualified for the WOF.

I used to eat two dozen without much trouble, but these days I max out around 12 before I start to feel ill. Just can't stuff face like I did when I was young!

Any sort of repeat of the 13 seconds shenanigans would make it really hard to argue that McDermott is a guy who can win a title. But it would be very, very difficult to replace what he has brought to the organization. I think it might be more appropriate to give more play calling authority to the coordinators, or something along those lines, if in-game strategy continues to be an issue.

You have to tip your hat to the guy. I mean, he's probably made more money in his career than I ever will, he's not even 30, and he hasn't taken a real hit in years. He's still getting gigs despite whatever crap the social media dinks say about him. I love this guy! He's the Ryan Fitzpatrick of 3rd-stringers.

Based on who drafted them, I'm going with Elam and McDuffie. I think Sauce will be a bust - seems really focused on his image and bling, and he's going to a bad team in NYC. I could see things not going well.

Dang, I'm usually passed out by 7 on Turkey Day.
