Took a quick look at a Bears forum. There seems to be some serious buyer's remorse. Here is one example: "Is Edmunds not good in coverage? I'm watching the highlights and he's been out of place NUMEROUS times. Cover 2, Cover 3, Cover 0 it doesn't matter. Edmunds takes false steps and gets himself out of position. He also gets turned around. He literally looks completely lost at times. I know one of the knocks on him was that he only had 1 great year. So far, I'm not impressed. He looks lost. This is just one example." Out of position? Looks lost? Whodda thunk it?
He's in for a rough season. It will take him nearly the entire 2023 season to get to where he was in the 2022 season with the Bills.
He's slow to know the playbook, and to boot, a defense that's entirely different from what the Bills ran, to where he doesn't need to think about what to do, he just does it.
He won't be great for the Bears this year, but in future years, barring injury, he'll put up 2022 stats for them.

Biden commemorating 9/11 in Alaska is likely because his travel staff, likely comprised of people who were either born after 9/11 or don't care about it, completely forgot about the day when planning his schedule.
I don't think he, to a person, would have missed it, as he's attended every other 9/11 event prior.
-
Enthusiasm for this season is higher than previous seasons. I like what they've done to bolster the run game, and I think moving on from Leslie Frazier is a plus.
Of the games on the schedule, this Jets game hasn't concerned me much. The McDermott-era Bills win when they show up, and they show up for the openers and in September overall (.650 winning percentage in September).
His Bills have had AR's number historically, and regardless of greatness, quarterbacks on new teams have a difficult first game.
-
I think the Bills are primed for a fantastic season. Stacked roster with years of corporate knowledge of the system, love the roster moves at RB, and I think McDermott calling the defense is additive. I also think the team, coaching staff included, realizes this season is "it" for the current iteration of the roster. There's a remodeling coming next season, so the time is now.
I think the idea of the "uber" Jets is overblown to a degree. Teams take time to gel, and I expect them to be inconsistent Monday night on offense. Miami rides and dies on an injury prone-QB. The 2023 Patriots are the 2008 Bills. Dangerous in September, but fade as the season goes on.
-
Basham is a very strong man but with s-l-o-w feet, and limited quickness. Offensive linemen can keep strong, but plodding defensive linemen literally at arm's length from their quarterback most of the time. I'd bet that he'd come in last in the lateral ladder drill of all the defensive linemen on the roster.
That was the big negative in his draft profile, and remains as a professional player.

I'm not concerned yet, but I see, without some guidelines, this being abused for strategic advantage because I don't know who makes that call to cancel the remainder of a game in progress.
(Late season game where one team is losing big in a conference or divisional game, and a tie benefits said team more than a loss, or picking up the game later, buys time for rest or a new strategy.)
I also think the gambling world would have big problems with cancelling parts of in-progress games.

Exactly. Same team.

I loathe corporate jargon, and I can spot the insecure phony in a meeting by how often they use the jargon. It's a never-fail personality test.
"let's take this offline."
"change agent"
"ducks in a row"
"low hanging fruit"
"moving goal posts, needle"
Also... "it is what it is"

As others have stated, they lack killers and intensity.
This whole team has a feel of middle manager calm and discipline because that's who Sean McDermott is. It works until you hit adversity.
I bet you $50 that Ken Dorsey got talked to about his rage in Miami last year, and how "we all have to act like the professionals we are..."

No.
Super Bowl-caliber teams do not participate in OTJ training of extremely green, raw talent quarterbacks.
Plus, barring disaster, he wouldn't play in Buffalo either.

I voted yes, and I'll add she initiated it.

He's the definition of 90% amazing athlete, 10% football player.
He was set up for failure in the NFL because Clemson played him in a weird LB/DB hybrid type of position that doesn't exist in the NFL defense. He never learned a single position in college, and the Cardinals threw him out there and he failed.
I think he would become a good player if he learned one position, and much like Trey Lance, spent a USFL/XFL season playing it.
-
49ers would be smart to either trade him to a team that would play him *this* season, or work out a deal/arrangement to have Lance get playing time in the XFL/USFL/CFL.
Lance is exactly the kind of player that would benefit from a full season of "minor league" professional football experience where he's the guy, for better or terrible.
-
I don't think the Bills will run *a lot* of the two linebacker sets we're accustomed to seeing. I think the Bills know that position is vulnerable, so you'll see a lot more of the 3 safety look on defense. I think Taylor Rapp and Siran Neal are going to get a lot of playing time this year.

Consider what AI and tech do to bridge the gap between generations. The further we go, the more the previous generation is in tune with the new. Now you have middle aged people playing the same video games and using the same tech as their kids, whereas in the past the older generation did not embrace it.
Agreed, but that's all voluntary exposure to the culture of the day. If you're living forever, you're going to live through the good and the bad.
If someone told me in 1990 about 2000-present, I'd probably say "eh, I'll pass on renewing that eternal life subscription."

Likely be able to do it, but few would want it. An "indefinite" life would lack meaning and purpose.
You also don't want to be in the position where you outlive everyone you know several times over, especially your own kids and even your grandkids.
Concepts like retirement, kids and grandkids would also be irrelevant.
I think it'd be miserable to live through so many periods of time. I don't think someone who was 40 in 1950 would really enjoy today's culture.

He's legitimately fat and that impacts his range of motion and quickness. Look at Trent Williams, Lane Johnson, Laremy Tunsil. Those guys are well-conditioned tackles. Dion Dawkins needs a trainer and a nutritionist.
The Eagles run game was so dynamic last year because that OL was in shape. They were able to play at 1st quarter energy in the 4th quarter because they were in shape. I think the Bills OL overall are strong but they are strong men with slow feet. They wind fast, and quick defensive linemen can get around the tackles as the game goes on.

The Tuohys probably didn't break any laws, but they certainly played a successful con on Oher.
