My hope is that Darryl Johnson makes a big jump from y1 to y2 and makes Murphy expendable.

If I knew or gave a damn about who “Michael Nania” is that might make a difference in how I view his opinion.

If this happens (triple header on Saturday) I really hope they nix Thursday night football. You know the players and coaches want it gone.

I’d put the Bills at about -10 right now in their opener against the Jets. No Adams, no Moseley, and with the continuity the Bills are bringing to the table this one could be a rout.

I’m wondering what’s going to show up on my bill. A couple of months ago I called them when I was seeing posts from people who were notified that they were getting ST Max for free. I got to a loyalty rep who empathized with me but said it was apparently a random thing. She gave me $300 off my bill as a courtesy. When I look at my account currently it shows the ST Max renewal but for $0.00. Next month is when the first of six payments typically hits so I’m curious if I’m going to get it for free or not. If they do charge me I think I’ll call back and b-I-t-c-h some more.

That’s a really excellent idea if you can’t get the Ticket.

God willing.

Milano is absolutely the kind of player you want to keep for as long as you can, and he is wired differently with respect to material things. I think he's a minimalist. Probably has saved most of his NFL income so far.

That's cool, I didn't have a strong reaction either way. It's just how it came across to me. I'll never understand the logic of extremely religious people so their message is largely lost on me. I'm more of a "do the right thing because it's the right thing to do" kind of guy.

Eh, I think Fromm’s response was questionable also. Why not just say we need to love all people equally? He makes it sound as though the only people capable of this have to be Jesus freaks first.

They're hiding in the weeds right now...waiting for the first blown replay challenge, poorly used timeout, or Pat DiMarco go route...

I think Krueger is the right coach. We'll see if Adams is the right GM.

Ugh. If I was forced to listen to the Murph feed I might pick a different favorite team.

You mean the fewer than 3% opt outs with no superstars in that mix? This season will feel a bit odd because of COVID and no fans in the stands, not the opt outs, and as long as they keep any outbreaks from happening they are still playing pro football and a Super Bowl championship will be perfectly legitimate. Nobody puts an asterisk next to Washington’s SB win over Miami and they only played a 9-game season.

Shaq Lawson just made it onto the COVID list.

Right on, Paul. Pretending that guys opting out for “family reasons” are somehow better humans than those deciding to uphold their commitments to their teams and teammates is not helpful. Guys can set up scenarios for their families to be quite safe, and since they will be getting tested regularly it significantly reduces the opportunity for an outbreak. The risk won’t be completely eliminated, obviously, but it can be minimized. If a guy just doesn’t want any risk at all he can bunker at home with his family, so be it, but I hope he doesn’t still go to the grocery store, a restaurant, Home Depot, etc., because his risk of picking up the virus there is going to be greater than in his NFL locker room.

Unless something crazy happens today (and I’m not saying it won’t), with the number of opt outs thus far this will hardly be a “half-assed” season. Right now we’re at around 60 opt outs out of roughly 2000 players, or about 3%.

“What’s the one word you thought when you saw Pat Mahomes sign that contract?” ”Work.” Love our QB.

And Kay Adams looking oh-so-cute in her vintage Bills' T...

Long only played significant snaps in three games last year — and one of them was the meaningless finale against the Jets. He was hardly an indispensable piece and at his salary, combined with what Beane brought in and what they already had, makes this a far less questionable move to me than many here seem to think. Those 150 or so snaps of his won’t be missed.

Some people just want to watch the world burn...

First of all, I'm not your buddy. Second, they signed how many additional O-lineman since the end of last season, and are signing Winters also? Did they do that because they were thrilled with Long? Third, saving money against a cap that you know is going to shrink next year is not the same thing as a "mandate from upstairs." The Bills are not the Sabres, and flaming fires that the Pegulas are meddling with a successful operation because they want to save a few bucks is the sort of irresponsible rumor-mongering that drives fans like me crazy.

Going to?

Bates. I think they really like that guy. This is how completely unfounded rumors start. Stop it.

The way all of the rules are designed to protect QBs, there's no reason to believe more won't be able to play into their late 30s/early 40s.
