Will Bass win the job? I Doubt it. As someone else mentioned, i don't think you go with a rookie kicker when you can't even see how he does in a preseason game let alone one that counts. How will the team simulate games / pressure in a way that they can comfortably decide to go with the rookie ?: Coach has already discussed this in interviews regarding all the players. They can do a variety of things including playing for a no pads day or a walk through day, or even a rest day. Do they toss Bass on the practice squad ?: Probably not pick him as the starter bit I could see him being included in the 53 rather than practice squad. As a side note though, I think you will see far less of teams picking players from other teams practice squads this year since it will be such an effort for them bring them into facilities to join the their team. Instead, I think teams will stick to their own practice squad players and fill their team needs mainly through their own squad players as \ if needed. If they pick Bass, do they try to keep Hauschka on the practice squad and protect him as insurance ? Hauschka is not eligible for PS.

I have to agree with Don Otreply. Overall, being a NASCAR or Formula One driver takes way more brain power and mental agility than any other sport out there and I am saying that as someone that doesn't really watch the sport let alone has ever even thought of ever trying to be a driver. Now, all that being said; the article is about a man that has the mental acuity of a slug or earthworm so I wouldn't put to much stock in the writers acknowledgment of the complexities in the Tampa play book.

I think I remember hearing or reading something somewhere that they aren't allowed to be vocal in their complaints regarding the league or the Commissioner, at least not publicly.

I mean, yeah.... it's possible that all team are doing it. But then again, it's also possible for me to run to be POTUS. However very unlikely. ? I would think that with as often as the Patsies have been caught cheating, that if other teams were actually cheating, they would get just as caught.... Just saying. ?‍♂️

Yup. Or another one i hear a lot is.... "all teams do it. if you're not cheating , you're not trying hard enough". If all teams are doing it, how come no one else is getting caught doing it? Cheatriot fans are pathetic. In the case of Kraft, i would say he's too busy getting a "rub and tug" to notice the slap on the hand.

This exactly, I will also add that the $300 million loss is temporary. Fracking is still the largest source of natural gas nationally at 67% and the primary function of his energy company. The losses will be related mostly to COVID and come this time next year profits will be back up where they have been or higher. Like most of the very wealthy, their money is probably tied up in huge purchases of gold and silver which very rarely make huge jumps or slides in value. This is why and how the wealthy STAY wealthy.

Don't you think calling Trent a coward and a fraud is a little harsh? He stood in there and took hits and often right up until he took that last one that changed him for ever. He was never going to be great but he could have been pretty decent if not for that nasty hit he took. I never played Football except for with friends and I don't know what your history of playing the game is, but unless you have been in his shoes.... take those beatings.... it's a bit unfair of you or anyone to judge him as a coward or a fraud.

What if my Aunt had a penis? Would she then be my Uncle? I can't stand what ifs! They are the dumbest thing on the planet.

Yup, this. He is a Natural Gas holder not Oil. If anything, he will only get richer as more and more industries move away from oil to natural gas.

There are no such thing as indicators for predicting future growth of a player. Some players are draft bottom dwellers that light it up when given a chance and others fade into non existence. It's no different for any of the players in the top half of the draft either. Some start slow, take a few years and the light goes on and wham-o they are top notch players while others are expected to do great things out of the gate and they fall on their faces. The so called experts don't know any more than your above average Football fan so they really just need to sit down and ST*U. Just my 2 cents worth....... which is all it's good for. LOL!

Well..... I did say most not all. I have absolutely no issue with you disagreeing. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, especially those you actually saw him play. I just don;t think anyone to young to have actually seen him play is entitled to said opinion. Edit: My guess for your second set of stats is Aaron Schobel. How did I do? Your last two sentences are probably why he hates the Bills. LOL!!! By the time of those two losses to the Bills, He was in the twilight of his career. It was a totally different game then. He was considered decrepit by then. His body had taken such a beating like most of the players of that generation.

Exactly! I'm guessing that most of the comments are from people that are not old enough to have seen him play or are too old they don't remember how he played. He was an absolute monster on the field in his day. Very disruptive to offensive lines and run games. Absolutely the man is HOF.

What do you expect when the account password is probably "Team name" + NFL1234. ?

The only way it could work (maybe) is if teams were trading draft picks in to the league for cap space and each pick has a predetermined monetary value. For instance, Team A calls the league office and says it wants to trade it's number 2 2nd round pick (ie overall pick number 54) in for more cap space and the league takes that pick and give team A the added cap space of what ever the predetermined cap space value is for that pick. Pick number 54 then can go "up for sale" to any other team that want to buy it. If team B wants to buy that pick, it costs them the same amount monetarily in cap space that was given in cap space to team A. If something like this were to be put into place, they would have to set limits on it as well. Something like you can only do league trades of "cap for draft pick" or "draft pick for cap" twice each off season, and you can't trade a draft pick that you have "purchased" from the league to another team. I don't see it working if teams were trading cap space for draft picks with each other. Like other said. It gets to messy. Even what I described above it a bit convoluted but it's better than letting teams go all willie-nilly with their draft picks or cap space.

I don't think so. Clowney will want huge money most likely and that is not what Bean is about. They wan't to build through the draft and plug holes with free agents here and there. Not sure he would be worth the money he will be looking for.

Would explain why he was getting penalized for holding all the time.

Really? They guy quit on his team! The guy is a bum when it comes to coaching. I got the chance to meet him at a Bills preseason camp dinner and I can say as a person; he is a super nice guy. Very easy going, easy to talk to and very engaging when he talks football, but when you quit on your team that speak VOLUMES as to what kjind of man you really are.

Just not ready to go there yet.

I'd also add that while Hopkins got more targets and catches, smoke edges Hop out in catches per target and has a way better yards per catch than Hop.

This was live and Gronk was drunk. There was nothing scripted about this. Harvey was legit pissed. That said, Bufalo Blanco is right, Harvey is a braggart and genuinely an a**hole so I also have no sympathy.

This is an exellent point @Bob in STL. We should never forget that we are playing Captain headhunter himself. [insert forehead slap here] This is sarcasm right?.... i hope! Other wise you just sound.....dumb.

Too all you fan faithfuls that can even remember the 94\95 season, kudos to you. I barely remember seasons from 5 or 6 years ago....forget 24\25 years ago. ?

You could not be more wrong about the refs not being the reason the bills at the very least don't tie this game up let alone lose. No, the Bills didn't play their best, but even at not their best, this game was close. Three MAJOR no call fouls can point to significant change in the status of this game. The not called intentional grounding call, the no call pass interference call on Gilmore against Brown, and the no call on face mask in the fourth when they were on the 20 yard line. The last one in particular prevented us from tying the game. it was 4th and 1 on the 20. JA gets the first down but if they actually called the FM penalty it's now 1st and goal at the 5 and not 1st and 10 at the 19. HUGE difference.

I was really using sarcasm to state how much of an a-hole he is vs giving a factual basis of his number of head injuries. Sorry. my sarcasm part of the brain is not fully functioning today and I didn't type that out well enough to make it clear. Of course those 2 games are only reported concussions. I wouldn't be surprised if he and many other players have had unreported concussions.

It is true, I saw the post game interview this morning. as to why? Because he's an idiot that has had to many head injuries in the past and lacks the common sense to think of the potential consequences of his actions.
