  1. I read he got 13 snaps. Not a ton, but it got him back on the field. Every little bit of experience and confidence helps when you are so new to the league.
  2. I knew I should have bought CITI stock in the crash at .50 cents/share! I swear! I knew it! I said it out loud. But here I am. 🤷‍♂️
  3. While some people complain about paying Groot half of what the top DE’s get, I don’t see the same people commending the FO on the Bosa signing. How curious.
  4. Josh got hit when he was clearly sliding. That was an atrocious no call. He can talk all he wants as long as he stays smart.
  5. If THAT is not a penalty, I don’t need to bother watching the NFL any more. Chicken S&^% BS! Then they don’t reset the clock? Again???
  6. Romo is right, I wouldn’t want to be fielding punts out there on this cold, windy day. We already threw a pic, maybe we can get even and get in scoring position with a contribution from ST.
  7. I’m too lazy to go looking for Stevie Wonder.
  8. You do realize that he is being paid like a Robin, right? He’s getting less than half of what the top guys are getting with his $20mil AAV. Parsons gets $47mil, Hutchinson $45mil, TJ Watt $41mil, Garrett $40mil, etc. You pay your good football players, and he’s one of them whether you like it or not. No, he’s not Aiden Hutchinson, and he’s getting paid accordingly. Take off the angry colored glasses and you might see this more clearly.
  9. Let’s not forget, he’s getting paid maybe half of what the top guys are getting. Groot has an AAV of $20mil, while Parsons is $47 mil and Myles Garrett is $40mil. TJ Watt gets $41mil, Hutchinson $45mil. Let’s not act like he’s getting top dollar for the position. He’s not. He’s paid somewhere around where he belongs, imo, and I have no problem with the value. .
  10. Stats are stats. I can’t speak for your eyes. Are you saying the stat is wrong, or you just don’t care about such things? I would say they are almost polar opposites in style, yet the edge setter has the same pressure rate as the designated freelance QB hunter? Go figure. I think we just have a lot of frustrated fans who need somebody to blame. There is plenty to go around, but they might be barking up the wrong tree here. OH, and let’s not forget Groot has an AAV of $20Mil, while Parson’s AAV is $47Mil. That’s not nothing. .
  11. Does the Bills media suddenly run Pro Football Focus? The Bills didn’t make that up. They didn’t invent a stat to refute those who don’t know what they are watching.
  12. Because all of ours are broken…… .
  13. Sorry if that came off wrong or unclear, but I’m just disappointed that something I used to enjoy so much has been corrupted (on a micro level) to something I don’t care for very much.
  14. It seems you may not understand me. I don’t begrudge anyone the right to be compensated or the right to the same mobility their coaches have. They deserve that. I just don’t enjoy the resulting product nearly as much. That’s fine because we all have plenty of other things to do. I don’t mind it in the macro as much in college sports, but I used to like to know who was on my college basketball team. I used to be proud that we graduated them. Watch them develop. It’s a new pickup game with the best your money could buy each year, and I don’t know one guy’s name on my team, because I haven’t bothered to watch a game yet. I stopped caring. That can’t be good in the long run. .
  15. I was at a friend’s today and he was telling me about a car guy he just met. He went to his showroom and saw Bentley's and Lamborghini’s. The guy told him a lot of his clients were professional athletes (especially MLB) and rappers. He had some college players with NIL money, and he’s just started getting some high school kids who are cashing in. It’s a brave new world out there.
  16. More bye weeks means more weeks of product to sell, and they want as many weeks as possible. I don’t see a week with zero product available to the people looking for their football fix. EDIT: And that goes for the NFL’s gambling partners, as well. .
  17. I’d certainly add Deone Walker to that list. I’m really excited to see him keep developing.
  18. I think that some people who want to “go bold” will just blame the usual suspects if it doesn’t work out. Going bold tends to mean you sacrificed and mortgaged the future a bit. You have to pick your spots carefully. Diggs worked until he collapsed into Diva mode. Von was a Big Swing, and unfortunately he got injured. We’ll never know what might have happened there, and I fault nobody on that deal. Sometimes that’s just the way it turns out.
  19. Nimble little minx, isn’t she?
  20. ….while missing 40% of our starting OLine. Maybe the defense and ST can pitch in for a few points? Maybe??
  21. …and yet you have yet to be correct.
