I usually do about 4 hours, with a nap in the evening. Are we talking uninterrupted, or in a 24 hour period?
I just try to make sure my evening nap is after I've arrived home, and not while driving home.

I don't know. I was born and grew up and lived in Dallas a long time. I was a HUGE Cowboy fan until Smiley bought the team. Saturday was the day to get your chores done so you could watch the NFL game on Sunday.
As a member with both sides of my family coming from North Carolina, I take offense at the implication that Dallas - or any of Texas - is considered "southern."
About as much as Mexico, I suppose. Geographically south of the Mason-Dixon, but that's it.
And no, I don't want to turn this into a politically or other charged debate about where they stood in antebellum times.

I love how after the drop vs. Carolina, I kept hearing "rookie mistake" and "he'll learn from this"...................Do you really have to learn "Catch the ball when it's in your hands and the game is on the line??"
It's learn the correct read and route to run so you don't have to make an acrobatic adjustment to get back to the ball. This plus not having to think as long about what route on the tree allows a receiver to focus more on his play and the development of the defender vs him vs openings on the field..etc.
This is why it takes many receivers a few years. They get by on physical talent in college, much like many QBs. It's why rookies aren't often "NFL ready."
I think this fundamental misunderstanding is why fans today are so impatient. Sure, some will buck the trend; usually speedsters because you don't have to learn that route. But great possession receivers almost all take time to develop (see Jerry Rice, Steve Largent, Andre Reed.)

One of two Bills fans in the same section at MacDill AFB (what are the odds?)Hanging tight halfway between Tampa and Orlando...
-
Hope Smith throws for 500.
Not quite, but over 500 yards of total offense isn't too shabby...
-
Pats looking very Bills-y tonight.

I love the fans looking around after that spot like "what do you mean a call went against us?"

Dropped then back with KC?
Not surprising. CJ's strengths always were in cuts and returns.
Thank you, I'll be here all week. Tip your waitress!

Couple of big plays & nice touch throws were called back due to penalties.
Mahomes threw for 80 yds this week. Just saying.
How could this be....Mahomes according to this board is already playing at a Farve like level?
To the OP - FYI: Peterman aint starting. There is literally zero chance of him being named a starter outside of injury entering the regular season. They already said TT is the starter entering the season after the game. No changes are coming barring injury early in the season.
Stil baffles me that this fan base is clamoring for a rookie QB completing a TEBOW-esque 50% of his passes, mostly against scrubs, to start and to do so behind the worst pass blocking OL in the football right now.
I do very much like Peterman as a prospect, which is why he absolutely should NOT start early in the year unless absolutely necessary. Worst way to build this kid up is to throw him out there so green behind a bad OL. There is zero value is rushing this kid into action, and the coach and FO both like him and know this.
TT has the job locked down without question to at least the bye week and most likely until at least week 10 before they pull the plug if he is struggling bad and give the rookie some time. I fully expect Peterman to get time starting if TT struggles all year, just 100% wont be before the bye week barring injury and more likely not until later in the season to give the kid more time to get ready and have a better chance to grow out there.
I certainly hope so Peterman *isn't* starting at any time this year. Note my first post.
Again, *IF* Peterman is forced into action, I think we see some significant TE, and specifically Clay.
At least one week, until other teams get film and recognize the rookie is a rookie...

Charles Clay had 77 and 87 targets in his first two seasons with the Bills. He had six in the first half alone after Peterman took over, and came down with all but 1.
While that amount may not be the norm, even if he only sees six in the whole game that's already a marked increase in targets.
About half of those were outside where we'd expect similar situations with T2 under center, but there were a few in the seam where Peterman appeared to be more comfortable.
By the way - not advocating for Peterman over Taylor. Where Taylor has his problems down the middle, Peterman appeared to throw more to the Ravens' D-line on outside passes than to Bills players. Of course, as discussed in other threads that's at least 50% on Oline not punching out and low on three step drop plays.
Anyhow - given the WR woes,nice to see Clay being used as the big but athletic target he is. Now let's just hope his knee holds up.
-
Seems like our 2017 version of Brandon Spikes. Tough against the run and a sure tackler that is limited in mid range pass defense. Red zone or short yardage use right now for depth. Once he gets another year in rehab and some faith in the knee (it takes time for you to believe you can use it fully) and then we'll see if he has the agility and speed we want.

You can just sign up at DirectTV for the Sunday streaming package now. I used to have to verify I couldn't get DTV where I live but not anymore. Just sign up and you can watch on your computer, phone, or set top bog (Roku, Apple TV). I'm already signed up.
No need for this runaround any more.
That's good. Finally.
However, It's still cheaper if you can use the college student option.
(Well, - total cost of ownership is a hell of a lot more expensive when you factor in the cost of school, but you know what I mean.)

Well, there are two ways to get (semi)legitimate live NFL Sunday Ticket games to online devices (i.e. computer, phone, tablet, probably Roku though I haven't tried - just not "direct" to your TV):
1. VPN through a non-US country. You can sign up and pay but you have to log in each week while connected to the VPN coming from a non-US.
a, I first signed up while deployed, and was auto-renewed. Found out that although I'd been charged (albeit at a returning customer discount) I couldn't watch! VPN through Canada et voila!
b. Once you've logged in and have the game list, you can disconnect from the VPN. If the VPN is any good and allows high data rates, it's easier to just stay connected. However, if your VPN is limiting your data rate, you can disconnect after logging in and selecting you game.
c. The quality is as good or better than watching the games via most cable providers if your Internet access is good enough. At the highest data rates, it definitely equals or exceeds the HD quality of cable with all the compression they add. Nothing beats over the air HD of course.
2. Sign up after verifying you are a student at a college/university.
a. Cheaper than purchasing from non-US live or in US NFL Replay
b. They ask for your school, name, and birthdate online to instantly verify you are a student.
c. You do NOT have to use (or have) a school email.
d. the credit card does NOT have to be the name of the student
e. I don't know how the verification works. I signed my daughter up this way with her legit school and her name/birth date and the web site said good to go, then proceeded to ask me for an email address to use, and payment information.
f. She is signed up now, but I haven't used this one yet, so can't vouch for quality. However you can pay $99 for NFL GamePass or $149 for GamePass plus the replay options.

Im not big on throwing cole slaw on a pulled pork sandwich.
Well done brisket doesn't need sauce, or no more than a TBSP for a sandwich.
KC being too sweet - well, the founder of KC Masterpiece was the antichrist. A corn syrupy version of Kraft with liquid smoke in it...as if smoked meat needs extra smoke.
In KC, Gates' sauce remains the gold standard, although it often gets forgotten. Far less sweet, just enough kick for ribs and the celery seed is a unique addition.
Ok, just bought the 2x sauce/1x rub sampler. We'll see if it's better than my high acidity/low vinegar eastern North Carolina style. More to follow...

oh yeah?
then what about guiness draught, huh? and what about alec guiness who was English?
not so high and mighty now are you
And Russians are red, and fire trucks are always rushin' so I guess I was mistaken.
Of course that's misdisunregarding my comment about it not being an American English word. Which is repetitive, not mention redundant, since history shows us we spoke it first, then the Brits stole it once they stopped speaking Irish. Really mind bottling.
Logorrhea.
And I'm sticking with T. Henry, although if we go by jerseys owned its EMo. Normally more jerseys <> under rated, but as a typical Bills fan, I always purchase the jerseys of the players that aren't the national figures (Poz, EMo, the backler/Whiffner, Fast Freddie, etc.)

English teachers in Buffalo are apparently underrated
DROUGHT. "a prolonged absence of something specified."
Not draught. Which isn't even an American English word.
Anyhow - on topic - I'd list Byrd (Butch, in case there was a question), Ballard and Travis Henry. Byrd averaged more INTs than Deion Sanders, almost 6/year.
What I wouldn't give for a DB to get us 6 INTs/year right now!
I'm not a fan of Schobel, so I'm biased. Interestingly in the first 50 years of the Bills only two players had back-to-back double digit sack seasons - Smith and Schobel.
In the last 5 years we've had two more.

It really is. I prefer NC bbq
The truest statement I've read on this board.
Any BBQ that needs sauce to make it taste good is just cheap meat. Suck it, Texas and KC.
-
Pretty much every QB and even most backup QB's do this too. Who cares
They better be getting together and working out. They have a lot of work to do
Yup- this is no longer a good sign, it's a very basic level of engagement in today's NFL
It's like saying it's a good sign that McD held mini camps
Oh boy! Same story we've seen for 17 previous offseasons! QB and WR working together in offseason!
Wow. No good deed goes unpunished, or untrivialized here.

...have to watch for Namann Roosevelt.....kid has been putting up some pretty impressive numbers since joining CFL......
Roughriders have Naaman and Duron Carter. Not bad
Also got the Ball State wonder Jonathan Newsome, although he's injured.
TJ Graham is on the Alouettes practice squad
Luke Tasker is in the CFL as well. Made the CFL All-Star team a couple seasons ago in Hamilton.
