We have heard McD say this over and over again when talking about what their goal is when players come to Buffalo. He seems to say it now almost as much as “respect the process.” But what I have noticed over the past several weeks is that in multiple interviews with players they have also brought this up. I just read an article about Quinton Jefferson and yep, he said it. The examples are numerous. What’s my point? This culture McD has developed is something else. You could almost remove those last three letters, it seems so ingrained in all of the players. It’s not lip service, they believe it. It’s fun to watch.

Don’t fall into that trap. There are good players and good depth on that OL. Our DL is a friggin’ beast.

Just keeping fingers and toes crossed. Only takes one bad apple once the season starts to spoil the whole bunch.

Nonsense. We had a 75 degree day in North Carolina last week. In August! Climate change is a hoax!

Phrase of the day

Wrong answer. This is about a couple of golfers having phenomenal rounds, not a course that is too easy.

The line is already a beast...totally one of the strengths of the team. Harry playing like he was starting to last season will make it that much better.

I'm laughing on the inside -- not because I put a lot of credence in training camp "stats" but because I know how this board would be imploding if that was us...

I think the SOP at this point is that if there is anything "nagging" they will err on the side of giving them time off. Tremaine gets to rest today and tomorrow and get whatever treatment he can. Norman is the guy I'm potentially concerned about b/c hammies can be minor and then they can stick around all year...

Christ. Now DJ is -10 thru 10 holes and is inside 10 ft. on #11 for another birdie.

Yes, TPC Boston. No idea but this is unreal.

I know some of us follow the tour...the first tourney of the playoffs is this week and today, Scottie Scheffler shot a 59 (-12 on the par 71 layout) and right now Dustin Johnson is on the course at -9 thru EIGHT (yes, eight) holes. Never seen anything like it.

Same here. I think the longest time I ever spent on the phone was about 40 minutes...but well worth it. I do think it matters whether or not you're a jackass.

Josh sucks because he threw the pick, and Norman sucks because he got hurt after catching it. There's your stinking context.

Bad things happen to those who leave 'the process"... All kidding aside, that's a scary, freak injury and I hope he fully recovers.

Doom may be a bit strong, but it could certainly be their Achilles Heel.

i just have to say this thread is really bumming me out so I'll go now.

I know I'm not changing anyone's mind. Just a personal observation. I think it looks silly. Do you put on your pads too so the jersey doesn't look ridiculously oversized? And don't get me started on the guys who tuck their jerseys into their jeans.

Just being reported that Fitz is not practicing today, and possibly longer, for "personal" reasons. No further details.

Best wishes to a very classy coach and person.

This, 100%. If you’re wearing a Bills jersey it should be a guy on the Wall of Fame or a current player. Also, reason #245 why wearing jerseys if you’re not a kid is ridiculous. There is so much cool team gear out there...

Greggo is a worse HC than Doug. He’s a decent coordinator but to me he seems like a caricature of himself now.

I think Doug’s record since he quit in Buffalo has shown that while he might not be a “bad” coach, he’s also not a particularly good one. He’s middling on his best day, with a 39-46 career record including playoffs. He brings discipline to a team but doesn’t appear to be very adept at game planning for either the offensive or defensive side of the ball. He’s had conflicts with star players and his overly conservative mindset kept his team from going to a Super Bowl. He did win a couple of playoff games so there’s that, but he also took that Jaguars team coming off an AFC Championship game appearance and drove them into the ground (11-21 since).

If the decision comes down to Duke or Hodgins the smart thing is to keep Hodgins on the 53 and put Duke on the PS. Far more likely a team would poach Hodgins than Duke.
