My dad, his wife and much of her family is in the North Naples area. Her mom can't travel so they're all staying. Hoping for the best.....
Best wishes to all who are there and all who are traveling out.

I almost threw up watching that Super Bowl flash back
Can't believe you actually watched it. That's what DVR's are for. Pause and skip until it's over.

Is this going to help the stomach bug?
absolutely
BOOM! There it is.

Nice to see the effort.

The Bills will be pretty average this season, around 7 wins. Some people will complain about how they suck and some will convince themselves that the Bills were a few plays away from the playoffs. Some will realize that they're a middle of the pack team that's probably going to trend up.

A good team should comfortably beat the Jest this season. I expect that. A great team should be able to play vanilla schemes and beat the Jest. I don't expect that.

.Rodak doesn't have a clue. What I have seen so far is the Bills re-tooling the roster to fit the style of play of a new coach. It has nothing to do with "tanking". It's building the roster for this year and beyond to fit a certain style of play. How that works out remains to be seen, but this team is not "tanking" anything. Doesn't fit the profile of our HC. It is in fact a ridiculous notion.
That's precisely what Rodak said. Not a tank. Retooling for the scheme and mentality of the new regime. Trying to win now but also looking toward the future. It makes sense from where the Bills were when McD took over. It's how I also see it and I'm good with the approach.

Who are these guys?
What kid doesn't dream of making the NFL All Preseason Team?
-
Something tells me the Jets don't really care who is starting for us at QB...
The Jest are so bad it won't really matter, but I'm sure McD still wants to do everything possible to ensure a victory in his first game as Bills HC. Plus it is a strategy that could carry to the second week.
-
Getting back on the practice field is obviously a good sign for Tyrod, but it'd be smart of McD to let it be known that he's practicing even if he's still unlikely to play. That'd keep the Jets guessing as to who was going to start on Sunday.
-
As soon as he passes that concussion test, Yates is gone. If they cut him now, they have to reach an injury settlement. If they wait until he's healthy, see ya guy.
Agreed. They're going to have to pay Webb for the whole season either way because of his veteran status so it makes sense to cut bait with Yates. As for Taylor, I doubt anyone is looking to deal a significant pick for a QB at this point so he gets to stay for the season.
-
Could we go after RG Alex Boone? Released by Vikings, because he wouldn't take a pay cut.
No surprise on that. Could see this coming the day they way overpaid him and gave him the contract.
Greco, Boone, Winston
Greco would be a very good pickup. Great person and above average OG. Boone's concussion issues scare me.
-
John Greco was a surprising cut by Cleveland. He's an above average OG - and can play C as well. He'd be a nice pick up.

The #Steelers have traded WR Sammie Coates to the Browns in exchange for Clevelands 6th-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, per team.
It was the 6th that the Steelers sent to Cleveland for Justin Gilbert, who's now gone. They also sent a 2019 7th round pick back to the Browns.

Waaaaaay better than Gilmore
I understand what you're getting at, but to be fair Haden was an All Pro 3 seasons ago. It looks like he's lost it, but he's still under 30 and if he gets it back.......

Here are the actual numbers:It never ceases to amaze me the basic lack of NFL knowledge on the part of guys who write for, and who get paid by the Buffalo News, to cover the Bills/NFL. The most recent demonstration was Gleason's column this morning, where he advocates just cutting Dareus and swallowing the $24 million cap hit. So it's clear, even though he is paid to cover & analyze the NFL, he has no idea how the cap works. Bills can't cut Dareus and absorb that cap hit because they DON'T HAVE ANYTHING NEAR $24 million in cap space to do that. They have less than 10 million I believe. They would have cut players like Hughes or Tyrod (or both) to create that kind of cap space.
But this NFL "writer" has no idea what the ramifications are of his ridiculous proposal. Doesn't quite understand how the NFL works. But why should he, since he has only been doing this for 20+ years.
- Dareus has a cap hit of $16.1M this season.
- Trading him now would result in dead money of $20.6M. That's instead of the above hit, not in addition to it.
- The Bills would get hit with a $4.5M larger cap in 2017 if he was traded now. They have that to spare.
- Please note that I'm just giving the numbers here, not advocating for trading him now.

Two Things:
1. The one or two 30+ yd completions per game is nowhere near as important as moving the chains with the short to intermediate throws this team has shown the ability to complete
AS LONG AS
2. This sieve of an o line gives Tyrod or Nate more than half a second to throw the ball
1. Disagree. Both are very important and a deep threat can immeasurably help the short passing game. That said, I absolutely agree with the Sammy move. Zay Jones has speed and can fill that role.
2. The OL and QB have to both do their jobs. The OL has to give the QB time and the QB has to get the ball out.

Typical NFL pre madonna. Buys a new quad and wants to ride it all day (probably without a helmet...idiot). Go earn your pay check on the field rather than riding your new four wheeler. No thanks on Brown.
Musical or biblical Madonna?

Got something for a player that doesn't fit the current scheme and wouldn't contribute to the team. Better for him and better for us. Best of luck to him.
-
I agree - but I think there's a range of "omg can you believe that he did that" and "oh, hopefully all is clear now" that is still possible. I.e. Is he actively defiant or mostly dumb/immature
Probably just immature and seeing what he can get away with. Whether or not he now gets in line will tell us whether or not there's a defiance issue.
-
We know that every other player knew when to be at the field for the game. This was Dareus being Dareus. It's not like it should be a surprise at this point. Let's hope he now realizes that he has to get in line. If not, he's going to have to deal with the consequences.To be fair, we still don't know exactly what happened and where this went wrong. If, for instance, Rex let guys that were out with injury in the preseason roll in on their own and McD had a different expectation that was assumed to be known... that's way different than if MD said "screw that guy I'm doing whatever I want"
MD gets very little benefit of the doubt but this could be pretty minor. Or incredibly defiant. We will see.

5 games seems a bit harsh for that. Does Burfict have a history?
suspended first 3 games in 2016 for hit on Antonio Brown in playoffs.
Benched in college for committing too many personal fouls, tested positive for pot at Combine, fined in 2013 for defenseless receiver hit and going after a player's groin (same game, GB), fined in 2014 for twisting the ankles of Newton and Olsen (Carolina) and the above mentioned Brown incident in 2015 along with going after Big Ben's ankle in that same playoff game against the Steelers.
-
Kizer is starting for the Browns because their other options are horrendous. He may or may not be the long-term answer for them, but we're a long way from getting to that point.
Correct.
-
I looked up their contract details but it's so detailed I couldn't make heads or tails out of it. If so Cleveland would have to cough up other compensation but I'm wondering if the numbers could be worked out if so.
Short answer: If the Browns ate the majority of BO's contract, then it's feasible from a cap standpoint. I'm just not sure why you'd want BO on the team. He's terrible.
What's wrong with the Pats Defense? Plenty

Just rewatched it. There was another WR running free opposite Hill. Something was wrong with that defense on the play. It totally left open both of the deep sidelines.
