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.

It was very limited and very short. You didn't miss anything.

I feel like Milano is not a guy who will push for a top end deal. Just my gut. I think he understands what players and positions need to "get paid" and will give the Bills a discount. The Bills aren't going to extend Tre now because it's not in Tre's best interests to do that and you need two to tango. The only reason for Tre to extend now is if he fears injury, but I don't see that happening. My instincts tell me Beane is feeling out Milano and his agent for just what they're pushing for; if it's in the 14M range they will likely let it play out; if he's in the 12-13M range perhaps a deal gets done. I don't think Milano is successful just because of the scheme, though -- the guy is talented and would shine in any defense.

No, really? Get out of here.

Based upon Farwell’s comments yesterday I think Taiwan Jones and Siran Neal can go to black, and DiMarco moves to red.

Have to admit I chuckled out loud. Any Cheers fans here? Sam Malone used to use Lance Manion on the road...

I think it’s actually the opposite, if you’re talking about the same knee. I’m not a doctor — nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night — but I think the difficulty guys have coming back is just regaining their strength...the ligament itself is stronger than before. You often hear of guys then injuring the other knee. I just hope Harry is in good shape and can contribute. He was playing really well and would, I think, have started to eat into Star’s playing time had he not gotten hurt.

I dunno, man...you order from them and you’re likely to get this: This is accomplished by not wearing a jersey if you are older than 15 to begin with...

This is not a problem. Josh is invincible.
