What the hell is “limited” tailgating anyway?

And when they run out of that, they’ll break out the oleandrin! Everybody gets cured, and you’ll also receive a free pillow just for showing up.

This event has "look at all of the idiots in Buffalo" written all over it.

Call me crazy but I want to see more of the redhead in the Goli.com commercial... http://youtu.be/DfISMi-62NI

Interesting angle. Not how I'd look at it, but interesting.

I don't feel bad because the Bills don't have Moorman, I feel bad for Moorman that he never got to play on a Bills team with this much talent. He's got to be sitting there thinking, "are you kidding me?"

Don't quit your day job. First, the Pegulas get the final say on everything. Second, I guarantee they aren't "asking" McD if they are allowed to extend Beane. McD already said he "can't imagine working with another GM" after he got his deal. It is extremely likely that the Pegulas will tie McD's and Beane's contracts together in terms of length. There is literally no reason not to, and now that they have locked up McD there is no logical reason to "let the season play out." Despite your fear of things falling apart the team is actually in really great shape. It will be surprising to me if Beane's extension isn't announced before W1. The only thing that could impact it is if Beane has his eye on something else -- which I don't think he does.

Hard to say from a couple of sorta-reported practices but man, I hope so. Just seems like he has a lot more to offer the team.

Eh, we'll just agree to disagree. Josh played great in OT -- the most clutch situation of all.

Absolutely not true. There were a couple of questionable decisions but also some amazing plays. He had receivers drop balls, go out of bounds, you name it. The narrative that Josh Allen somehow blew the playoff game is a false one. To borrow a phrase from Gunner, there was a brief moment during the game where Josh appeared to be "scrambled" but he also got out of it.

I didn't need Wiki to tell you that. We're a country of fat f***ks.

I've thought since the draft that the 7th rounder Jackson has a real chance to stick.

Totally a 2020 thing. With the reduced practice time leading up to the regular season, I think teams likely lobbied the league to restrict reporting because they have to do game planning at the same time they are practicing and evaluating their rosters. It's basically what teams do during the regular season, but slightly more restricted (i.e., can't say whether someone is playing with the 1s or 2s, etc.).

I have to admit, it was funny to read this blurb from yesterday’s first full practice: The only target tight end Dawson Knox got on the day he dropped.

OP, here’s your not-so-simple answer. Those who panned the Allen pick and believed he would be a bust will answer “yes” because if Allen doesn’t light it up they’ll feel vindicated. Those who have recognized how raw Allen was coming into the league will answer “sort of” because we all need to see him take the proverbial “next step” but we also don’t think he has to suddenly become a superstar in order to justify his continued progression with the team. Allen will always be polarizing because of the wide disparity in how he was scouted/evaluated — the analytics crowd can’t comprehend that perhaps their analysis was flawed (or incomplete).

That’s b.s. I’m running mine but making some changes, namely: Limiting it to 10 teams (so there’s a larger player pool) Points only league (rather than head to head) so if the season ends early you can still have a winner Expanding rosters and adding an IR spot or two for anyone who gets the virus I see no reason to “expect” the league to shut down and think they’re only getting smarter about how to manage it.

Sometimes I wonder how much of the Bills you actually watch. Harry’s first season was rather pedestrian, but last year he was beginning to play at an extremely high level over the first few games before the injury. Go back and read the writeups. He wasn’t drafted to be Kyle 2.0 and I don’t know of anyone who expected him to be that. If anything, the hope is that he makes Star expendable. Anyway, recovery from ACL injuries is pretty common these days so nobody should be “giving up” on him at this point.

This season I expect the Bills to be one of the fastest teams out of the gate given their overall continuity and preparation.

Yeah, that can't really be disputed. The question is whether Jameis could be coached to respect ball security at this point in his career. He's just so careless. But talent level and ability? He puts Barkley to shame.

Even when you're doing a decent job of just discussing football you throw something like this in there, which is ridiculous. Come on, man.

Love it. Glad I'm not the only one bothered by senseless apostrophes.

Yup. A 1,000 yard season doesn't carry the luster it once did.

Not speaking for Shaw, but I'd guess it's because he's a bigger WR (which Ravens don't currently have) who can make contested catches.

That's not how it works. Opt out payments are advances against future salary.
