I think the 6 WR at this point are
Brown
Beasley
Foster (health might put him on IR)
Roberts
Williams
McKenzie
Zay Cut or Traded
Don't you think Zay would be a great decoy at the very least??

I am ok with the over officiating as long as it to work out the links in preseason and for the NFL to decide what " needs" to be called. Once the real games start though I hope they standardize it across the officials and decide to only call what must be called.

FTFY
I am a math teacher and I like numbers that quantify things but especially in football they are not the ending point. I do find PFF useful when they agree with me.?

I'm not totally disagreeing with this, but consider the fact that he played tackle in college, and has been in Buffalo less than 2 weeks. Not to shabby.
I am very happy with the progress- I just find PFF not very useful in the preseason

I just saw the mess in Winnepeg- how does the NFL allow that to happen? I appreciate they want to expand the game but this type of issue has popped up at least a few times and it is a waste of time and money and effort because no good will is built on only backups playing. NFL needs to ensure fields are up to standard before agreeing to game.

Im watching Hard Knocks Season 13 episode 1 where Landry is crying about his players being soft and my blood got boiling. F this guy!
Its so bad that i didnt feel much after watching the youtube video of his highschool sweetheart dying. Maybe he carries anger towards God on the field over that or something.
To the younger kids it is definitely a dirty play- in 1995 it would have been fine. The rules change and that is now dirty and illegal.

Some people see a half full glass of Kool Aid, others see a full glass of dog crap and sharp nails.
Johnson was a 7th rounder, and Bates was acquired for a guy who wasn't making the team, can play every position on the line and graded well in the position he played the least. Being noted that they stood out against anyone at the pro level is a win.
I was looking for clarification of who they were playing against-which I have recieved- and I see dog crap? I stated I was happy with info but I am trying to keep it in perspective.
39 minutes ago, That's No Moon said:Johnson played in the 2nd quarter last week and Carolina kept their line in longer than some other positions. I'd be surprised if wasn't in at least against the 2s for part of the game.
This is what I was looking for- and makes info even better. I try not to get excited for domination against 3rd stringers but usually 2s are legit pros.
-
Not to knock them but Bates has been only against the 2nd team and Johnson is only against 3 so far, correct? So while I like this info it is not enough to go on.

Unless it's on the companies dime
I have only been to a nice restaurant on the company dime once- it was a Ruth Chris when I was 24 and it was 2 clients and me and a senior associate at my company. We allowed the client to order the wine because we did not know anything about wine. Client orders a "good value wine" and we drink two bottles of this value wine. When bill comes my coworker literally chokes for a second- the wine was $340 a bottle. Our dinner was suppose to be about $300 and was now past $1000 with tip. That boss was not pleased with me. Thankfully I was the new guy so my reaming was less rigourous. For some reason I was never chosen to be the rep on these dinners again.

That's why separate checks, man.
I am definitely a separate check kind of guy- I though did once have dinner with a couple who thought we would split 50/50 and had about $70 in alcohol each and then were surprised when I insisted on separate checks- my entire bill was about 50 while theirs was 250. That was last time I went to a nice place with them.

Unless he is willing to sign a contract with language getting back signing bonus if he gets suspended not even a chance. I do not think you can even write that into a contract but I expect him to be suspended again soon

I believe expansion of replay is horrible for the purity of the game. It is part of the reason I enjoy High School Football, it is still a pure game and it does not take 4 hours to complete. Replay is completely out of hand. We have a replay for everything and replay reviews feel like they take 5-10 minutes per review. Multiply that by a possibility of 4 challenges per game and we are wasting 40 minutes. That being said, it isn’t going anywhere, so it must be corrected.
Ive been trumpeting a plan that I feel would work pretty well. Replay is for correcting the egregious calls or non-calls. We can all agree that could have a place in the beloved game of football. It must be metered though, it cannot run rampant. First, make everything challengeable. It is practically there already, so just rip off the band aid. If you got called for a hold and felt it wasn’t a hold, challengeable. Incorrect spot? Sure that’s challengeable. Unsportsmanlike conduct that you don’t believe happened? Challengeable if you think there is evidence on tape to overturn it. Late hit out of bounds that was or wasn’t called? Challengeable.
In addition to this, allow for challenges in the final two minutes. There is no more “booth review”. If the coach wants something reviewed, he throws the flag for it. Coaches still have two challenges per game, but that is it. They get two challenges of the game regardless of how those two go. If they win both, great, you still don’t get a third. Replays are also done in real time. The game is viewed and officiated in real time, why let ultra slow motion be used to detect a blade of grass on someone’s knee when he fumbled. Lastly, there is a “shot clock”. Once the referee begins viewing the tablet this clock begins. Something like 2-3 minutes feels right. If the referee doesn’t make a call within that time frame it automatically reverts to “call on the field stands.” If you can’t overturn a call conclusively in that time frame it isn’t egregious enough to be overturned anyways.
I overall agree but it in regards to the limit of challenges- you should keep having a challenge until the coach is wrong. Allowing a coach the ability to fix 8 wrong calls is good if he only uses 8 challenges. Basically one mistake and no more challenges which would make a coach only throw it on big mistakes not small ones that might not go their way.

I watched game and feel that our center is issue if Morse is not ready and our punter situation, which is weird because for many years Moorman was our MVP. Am I missing some other real problem? I think the final cuts will be hard for good reasons this year.

I am shocked that you feel this way.
*** remember ... there is nothing offensive about this.
Gugny he had the right to kneel and offend people just as other morons can fly the confederate battle flag to be offensive. But whether he was right or wrong the dude is not a top 25 qb in leauge and wants to be paid as if he is.

I'm curious as to why you think (a) effort will be an issue and (b) 50% of Bills' fans would agree with you?
Meaning no offense of course
no offense taken- one he seems like a guy with great games and bad games even when in college. the 50% is me and brothers and my dad agree which never happens so i am going with it.
-
I think i speak for at least 50% of Bills fans- talent is great but effort will likely drop once he is paid and therefore not worth trade. He is unlikely to impact games like Mack but will want Mack money.

Does it matter? Oliver will be a starter regardless. If he succeeds or struggles in real games, no one will be saying "we knew this from the first pre-season game"you are so wrong- people will be saying they knew since he was in 7th grade!?

That's an interesting take. No reason why the rules couldn't be written to outlaw this behavior, but as it is, this is not against the rules.
I agree it would add something to the show (maybe not much, but something) if teams had to run a play and taking a knee to kill clock was not permitted.
i read somewhere a long time ago that the knee was allowed due to people getting hurt at the end. People would stop tackling and just try to hurt someone to get the ball back.

Sounds like he's not very good.
he is not very good now but Harold was gonna get cut for certain so this is a flyer without cost.
-
i have no idea which back gets how much but i would think they combine for about 2500 on the ground, and i hope that Allen is not responsible for more than about 500.

thanks to mt father i was at about 80 games in the years from 88-99. i will take my 14 year old to his first this season.

the wins are equal the first two weeks but I try to keep expectations in check and know the first two games teams are still trying to work out kinks. but 2-0 teams that are 8 -6 the rest of way make the playoffs.

If Barkley goes down this year, it seems unlikely that Jackson would be elevated to #2. What Veteran QB sitting at home currently or maybe cut do you think they would bring in?
thumbs down to the first smart guy that responds “Kyle Orton”
As stated already-if we lose our first stringer we will need a lot of luck to win any games. If we lose our second string qb then we will need a miracle to win. I do not worry about it because our season dies the day it matters.

Group Chat: Your takes on the Defense tonight

I think they were testing some things last night and it was ugly at times- I think McD looks at preseason similar to Levy as a time to try things and see what happens. One good thing last night was Shaq showed up as an individual on quite a few plays
