And of course, Diggs caught it.

Yeah… born and raised in Rochester, but I now reside in Los Angeles.

If you go onto NFL.com, click the [schedule] menu, and then [Pre Season Week One], it lists all the games. You can then click on [How to Watch] for each game, and there are a few, including the Bills, that are only replayed on NFL+.

They stream a lot of them, but I know they're not streaming the upcoming Bills @ Colts. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to watch the replay, though.

I've been trying to figure out how to see it out here in Los Angeles-- I'm not sure it's possible.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in '20 and '21, before people got all hyped up on Bates when the Bears offered him a contract, Bates seemed to play more comfortably at LG than at RG?

You chose wisely, sir… I suppose…

And that would be accurate! 😁

I wonder if you added a (6) “I’m here to troll.” If there’d be a troll willing to be honest?

IIRC, I think Beane has stated in the past that he generally likes to go through the season with about $5M in cap space.

You know, for me, I have no problem with those who are negative about the team, per se. What gets under my skin are the "I'm smarter than you" attacks on other posters, with a majority of them coming from post-drought fans. ScottLaw, for example, has a long reputation of negativity. But, I've never seen him call another poster "stupid." He debates football. Maintaining negative opinions about some aspect of the Bills isn't what makes this forum toxic, IMO. In fact, opposing viewpoints, regardless of how extreme they may be, if stated respectfully will inspire debate. It's the personal invective-- even just in tone-- that sometimes makes this forum look like a bunch of Pats* fans, and utterly stymies debate. That's my whiney 2¢.

I know the Browns lost a significant number of die-hard fans after the team mortgaged the farm to hire a rapist. After watching that video, I had to wonder if the Browns' fanbase doesn't have a higher percentage of ***** as a result?

Seantrell was drafted the same year we drafted Cyrus "Cujo" Kouandjio in the second round, whom the O-line coach referred to as "Venus De Milo" to his face. But Henderson's problems staying in the league stemmed from his Crohn's disease, which had become so severe, that his colon literally detached. It was honestly pretty impressive that he fought his way back onto the field at all, after losing 35 pounds, and three feet of his colon. And the biggest issue after his recovery was his use of medical marijuana, in which the league was intransigent.

He's gotten worse every season. I remember a time when I appreciated him, but now it's like he's having conversations with imaginary friends.

Yes. I used to refer to this as the "RRPP Offense."

Josh Allen is fearless.

N'Keal "Straight-Line" Harry cannot get separation. He's a poor man's Zay Jones.

I would actually tend to agree with this, but with one significant caveat: "Bill Belichick will be out of New England when HE decides he’s ready to walk away," and while Robert Kraft is still alive.

I disagree. It's not going to save him. And between going behind his HC's back, his dirty play on the field, and his sideline tantrums, his reputation around the league must be utter crap. His skill's to date put him somewhere in the "decent backup" category, IMO. But being a backup in the league requires certain intangibles that are the polar opposite of the inclination to undermines one's HC.

I honestly think that '19 Thanksgiving game in Dallas still resonates with them.

I wish there were video of this. Certainly looks like an obvious hold that would be called, but with only a still frame, it's hard to know if it would be something he might have gotten away with. Also that he was able to get to the inside of Davis makes me wonder if it wasn't PI.

It's hard not to lose a bit of respect for Payton over these statements. Regardless of how valid his opinions may be, he's taking a real swipe at Hackett's livelihood here. I get 'trash talking,' and all of that (they are week five opponents, after all), but publicly trashing a previous regime really seems to cross the line of professionalism. I'm not sure I've ever seen a HC act in such a way.

My assumption would be that they'll develop Torrence the same way they developed Brown-- start him on ST extra point, and field goal units, while he learns the playbook. Put him in late in garbage time, when available, and he'll hopefully start by midseason. If memory serves me correctly, that's what they did with Brown.

You didn't notice the veiled undertone of animosity between DK and DK? The deep-seated resentment masked by the saccharine big-brother helpfulness from Knox, hiding his apprehension? And the feigned, down-home modesty that Kincaid holds over his senior teammate like a cudgel, all too aware of his first-round pedigree? Or am I reading into this?

We're doomed, of course. Keep up.
