I'm a golf nut, so I loved this. Josh has definitely gotten better, but still has a little re-route over the top move that leads to those low pull draws under pressure. But man, he's got good hands on the short game and he can putt. He'll be a scratch or plus capper when his gridiron days are over.

Marv Levy should not be in the HOF.
I was just about to type this, so thank you. We probably win 2 Super Bowls with a good coaching staff.

My friends daughter suffers from CDKL5, and has had days where she has dozens of seizures in one day. No medicine would stop the seizures. Then they tried marijuana. When she suffered the seizures, my friend would treat with a weed application, and the seizures would immediately stopped. This has worked for over 20 years. If that was your daughter, what would you think of marijuana then?
It doesn't seem as if he's passing judgment on THC or it's users - just noting society's changing views on the topic.
That's great for your friend's daughter. I have a friend who's been battling glioblastoma for 6 years and he claims that his CBD/THC use has saved his life. When I was a kid undergoing rounds of chemo at Roswell, they'd often give me marinol as an antiemetic (made me high as F, but at least I could eat), so it's not as if the medical establishment hasn't known of the virtues of THC/CBD use for decades.

Amazingly, it was the first psychedelic substance I ever tried.
In high school, before it was even a trendy South American healing retreat destination, back when it felt like it was only known to Terrence McKenna fans and frequenters of erowid.org.....I happened to know a guy who brewed it. He brought it to my house in a red solo cup with foil over the top of it. It tasted like sludgy vinegar death.
Suffice to say my 17 year old brain was NOT prepared for what hit me.Lol. Erowid.org. I spent way too much time on that site as a late teen reading about experiences and then trying to recreate them. 😄

I can only remember back to about 1986, so I'll say Odomes, White and Winfield as my top three in any order. Clements and Gilmore right behind them as superbly talented guys who never quite fully met expectations during their time with the team. McGee as an honorable mention.

Overpriced? In my neighborhood a house that size that backs to a busy street and needs significant updating is easily twice that. But that's So Cal. I don't see how 1st time buyers could ever do it.
Bingo. After years of renting, we just bought an old 1950s tract home in a "working class" (aka hood) neighborhood for $520/sqft. And I feel incredibly lucky because it was $100-$200/sqft cheaper than virtually every other home in our area. Our house would probably be $150-225k in a place like Cheektowaga.

It'll be interesting to see the reception he gets at Highmark, from both Bills' players, and fans.
I really hope the fans are gracious and welcoming. Diggs was a PITA at times, but he brought a ton of excitement and he really did help Allen grow into the quarterback that he is today.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love a stud receiver (or two), but let's not pretend our WR room is why we haven't made a Super Bowl. It's some combination of defensive talent/coaching.

Ya fair points- I am a bit torn on if I think Diggs is done or not though.
2023 2nd half season with the bills- all his advanced stats showed he was declining pretty rapidly.
Last year he was pretty descent before the injury , but he didn't have to be the "guy" and was used more in the slot position.
Now coming off an acl going into his age 32 season? Not gonna say he's done, but i think the tank is running pretty close to empty
His days as a No. 1 are long gone. Depending on how well his body holds up, I can see him still being a good slot guy for another couple of years. He's a great route runner and a dawg (when he wants it).

My who buddy played football with him at Columbia and said that the take back the night vigil at Columbia was referred to by some as Marcellus Wiley Night.
As someone who attended a bigtime college sports school in the 90's, knew many athletes and a lot of the girls who had interactions with them, I can say with certainty that there were a few BMOCs who thought they were entitled to sex with whomever they wanted and often pushed various lengths past what we'd consider "consent" today.

You start off with some facts (FBI stats) then devolve into speculation.
There are no stats that I know of measuring how many women bring false accusations because of buyer's remorse but they would be a subcategory of the 8% who bring unfounded allegations. So it's less than 8%.
Unfortunately, I think the myth of buyer's remorse both encourages rapists (they have a ready-made excuse) and discourages women from reporting real instances of forcible rape.
I mean, I'm sure it happens, but it remains that 92% of rape cases are not proven false. My wife worked in a rape crisis center. She dealt with young woman after young woman in extreme emotional distress with clear physical evidence of rape/abuse. These women should always be made to feel safe to report their attacks.

"The victim, a Barnard student, later reported the incident to a Columbia University administrator who urged her not to file a criminal complaint and that if she pursued one, Jane Doe “would be known as the girl who destroyed a black man’s NFL dream.”
all you had to do was read the article...
There are now three women and they all allegedly reported the incidents to Columbia administrators.

Sort of funny, but there was a time when the knock on Moulds was that he only played great in even-numbered years. His best years were 1998, 2000, 2002, and 2004. 😀
I might be misremembering it, but I think he dealt with a bunch of nagging soft tissue (hamstring) injuries in those odd years. That also capped his overall career statistical output a bit.

Good player. Knows the system. I like it.
Now, let's just hope he doesn't get popped for PEDs.

Josh loves golf way too much to retire in Buffalo. I love Buffalo, but one of the reasons I'll never move back from California is that I can play golf here 365 days a year.

Great signing! Potential impact pass rusher at $12 mill? Seems like a steal to me. And with the way we rotate lineman, this is a good fit for the oft injured Bosa as well

You jest but these are ammo to move up in the draft. Could well become at least one starting CB.
Or 4 punters!

Not much happened in San Diego last season.
Lol. I've lived here for 15 years now. Force of habit I suppose.

I like this signing. Young. Decent size. Good separator. Not sure what happened last season in San Diego, but he has the potential to break out here (I hope).

TO was 36 when he set the Buffalo Bills franchise record for longest TD pass (98) yards. Still stands although now tied with Big Play Gabe.
I was about to say that Lofton was 33 and considered washed up when he landed in Buffalo, but then again, Lofton and TO were elite, HOF talents at their peak, something you can't say for Lockett.

Pay Cook.
He's one of our players who shows up and makes plays when the games are biggest (except when he's standing there on the freaking sideline holding his helmet when we need a drive in the AFC Title Game, but I digress...)
That's a skill you can't put a price tag on. The guy is excellent at what he does and is one of our few reliable offensive weapons.
Remember that Cook took a few seasons to really develop. We don't want to start over right now at RB. This team needs some urgency.
If you can sign Cook at a reasonable number, then do it, but running backs typically have a short shelf life and with his slight frame he's going to start hitting injuries in the not too distant future. Also, keep in mind that you can find a quality running back on day 2 of the draft. Cook was the last pick of round 2 and Tampa found a Bucky Irving in the 4th round last year.

As others have said, it's hard to argue against Peterman or Maybin for this title. There's been others along the way that were probably equally bad or worse, but they were likely completely inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. For instance, I have this vague memory of a cornerback (possibly a backup or dime back) whose name escapes me that played in Gailey era (I think) that would seemingly give up a huge play every time he saw the field.
-
He's a nice player, but we rolled out great offenses with Singletary and Moss. And Ray Davis is good young back to pair with another mid round running back. If Cook won't play out his deal, then move him for a pick.

I knew it sucked as soon as I couldn't find Jimmy Spags on the list.
