Not yet but once they hit the required marks and OBD can open. Kind of my point.

Most states are opening...including NY. While they all may not be open on that date, it is a good indicator in my opinion.

You nailed it!!! ?

From the article and Goodells letter: “No members of the coaching staff can return to the facility under the first phase of reopening. “This is important to ensure equity among all 32 clubs,” Goodell wrote.”

I see what you’re saying but as this phase includes no coaches, I don’t see it as a major issue, honestly. In addition, there is value in ‘playing by the rules’ in my opinion.

Biscuit was awesome! That D had so many great players and he was certainly one. Second coming of LT, certainly not, but he was great in my opinion. Very cool story! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! Glad you’re recovering! I have great insurance as well but I reached maximums. Keep up the good fight! ?

https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/A/AlleJo02/gamelog/2019/ I believe the best way to look at Josh is this: look at the defenses he was playing against where he was sub 60%. They’re all the best ones in the league (NE x 2, PITT, Ravens). As he continues to learn to read defenses, those inefficient games should transition to where he was in the rest of the games: 63% or so. The kid is gonna be great!

https://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/2020/05/celebrating-pancho-billa-el-paso-buffalo-bills-backers-raise-money-for-pancho-packs.html His Bills Backers (El Paso) still giving what he wanted to kids. So great.

I met him and he was, through and through, Buffalo Bills. May he Rest In Peace.

Top ten and also the best QB from his cohort. He has already shown marked improvement and that will continue this year with the added weapons. By ‘21, he will be top five. He has the aforementioned ‘it’ factor and the physical tools...just needed to catch up in the knowledge department and that is and has been happening. Go Josh!!!!

Good call! Perhaps a fishing line? ?

But, really, haven’t we ALL been arrested for a little armed robbery from time to time? ? Kids will be kids!!!!!

I look forward to the link to the video/audio in THIS THREAD as I have no expectation of remembering this. See what I did there? ?

https://www.buffalobills.com/audio/obl-5-14-offseason-training-with-bert-whigham-adam-teicher-on-2020-chiefs-andre- “Offseason trainer Bert Whigham discussed working out with current Bills players during the offseason in California and shared why he thinks Bills rookie WR Gabe Davis will be a perfect fit in Buffalo (33:03)” This touches on a bunch of things including how much Josh is doing to connect with all of the new offensive players. Cool stuff. I grasp that many disregard OBL, but this is why I listen.

https://www.buffalobills.com/audio/this-is-near-and-dear-to-my-heart-levi-wallace-joins-one-bills-live Levi is such a class act and a solid performer. I spoke with him and he said a prayer for me and I wish him nothing but the best. Being a guy with cancer, I would welcome all to contribute to the ACS for those who can’t afford having cancer (in case you didn’t know, it’s extraordinarily expensive...I had to pay $60k in one month just to stay alive). I only offer my story to let you all know that I am one of many...we all need help from time to time and he is doing a phenomenal job of helping those who need it. Please contribute If you can. ? All the best to everyone!!!!

I agree with this. If you’ve watched the ESPN ‘Last Dance’ on Jordan, he recognized this and put forth the effort to put on the required muscle mass. The rest, as they say, is history. I hope this kids history will be written as even a sliver of Jordan’s. ?

Completely based on your financial situation...and if you watch non-Bills games, in my opinion.

Ok, I assume that’s Kemp. Given that I’m 50, I cannot discern anything else from this picture. Any clues? First AFL Championship?

It seems as though you and I are watching different games. Perhaps segregating them would help you see the improvement (R year pre and post injury, compared with year two is a good place to start). That serves as three data points. I don’t think they’re saying he’s replaceable, I thing their draft said they grasp the fact that he’s aging and is expensive. Their are limits from the business side in the NFL and those effect how teams move forward from a personnel perspective.

Agreed. This kicker is, when you hear them in interviews outside of their own filter, they’re reasonable. That’s what makes it all the more crappy: they could provide valuable information without a slant but they’re not willing to do that because, of course, it’s a business first (which I completely understand). What I don’t get is if they got an actual business person in their ‘building’, there are other ways to monetize the data...and, more than likely, be more profitable.

That’s the problem, right? You can’t take the entire thing for what it means...instead, you’re letting your reality (or the reality of others) bleed into your thought process. Not trying to be a jerk, but all of this has a price (including lives according to the US government). Having served and watched people die, I also saw the humanity that wrought both in me and the people I served with. To discard that out of hand is short sighted. I could go on and on but these threads, in my opinion, should be shut down as they spread disinformation. There’s enough of that out there and we don’t need it here. There is literally no such thing as fake news, there are only uninformed people who cannot discern between actual news and talking heads...and yet the uninformed people talk about fake news as if it’s a real thing...it feels like you’re doing that. The death of any other human is nothing to sniffle at...everything we can do to stop it should happen, in my opinion. We are not in an inflationary period so the government can print money at will to compensate people/companies and be no worse for the wear. Those that complain about debt (tea party) are the same that voted for the last tax break which served the few. For the record, I am a ravenously independent voter but whacko is whacko. EDIT: I so appreciate so many of your football views which makes it all the more difficult to say all of this. With that being said, I hope we can chat in the future!!! ?

I think it’s important to remember how young these guys are and they will certainly progress physically, particularly under the tutelage of a professional level strength and conditioning program. All that being said, yup, I think he’ll be able to ‘expand’ and man I love those hands! ?. The guy doesn’t drop anything.

I agree!!! The entire idea is interesting on the surface but really makes no sense.
