    Belichick has stated that Miami has the greatest home field advantage of any team due to the heat and humidity.  Those early September games stress teams.  But I think it’s foolish to think the Dolphins also are not impacted by it.  Seems like the Bills get an early game there regularly.  So far, they have managed it. 

    I think Belicheat's statement could not be more wrong.   Playing at Mile High and literally processing oxygen better that your opponent is the biggest advantage in sports.  This is why Denver is always a good run team and the last time I checked, the 2nd best winning percentage at home since 1960 (behind Pitt).

    I had no idea there was so much that went into getting a ball ready for Allen and how you can't simply use the balls out of the box.

     

    If this is something all equipment managers have to do I am wondering why there isn't a company that does this(along with probably several options based on what various players like and what equipment managers do to them) and then sells them the balls in game ready condition.

     

    Seems like a potentially very profitable business.

    Tom Brady reportedly takes his footballs home to his house and has multiple brushes and oils he applies for each and every type of conditions.  

     

    If you watch the Tampa games their footballs don't even look brown, they look black.   

  3. Is it possible the light she spoke about in the room at the time shows video evidence to the contrary of rape and the police or school have it?

     

    Also is it possible that the rape test came up with no results after being two days out?   Tests/samples can be botched or tampered with. 

     

    Like everyone else I am confused at the timeline and no charges.   I am mostly concerned for the girl and her well being and disgusted at the alleged accounts.

    Making a prognosis on the basis of what?  News reports?  I'm glad he's not my doctor.

     

    He is not prescribing treatment, he is just analyzing based on what he sees and his knowledge of the recovery process.  Isn't that the same thing everyone of us does on this forum except we don't have a related degree? 

     

    If you listen to him on a weekly basis, he does a good job of analyzing injuries based on how they occur.  Is it speculation, yes, but more accurate that what flies around this forum from us.

    Well, lotsa guys will end up being cut, but I think they will keep Hodgins over Kumerow.

    Youth will be served.   Special teams will not crumble without Kumerow.

     

    But then you have a body on the roster doing nothing as the #5 WR.  So why?

    Personally I like the sound of "Red and Blue" better, but what do I know?

     

    So today is the big day! Who is going? Are you tailgating? What are your expectations?

     

    I heard they gave out 70k or so tickets, probably we'll see around 40k (unofficial guess )

     

    I don't think we're doing a full tailgate but definitely will be having a few cold ones prior to going in.

     

    Looking forward to seeing the boys in action today!

     

    For those of us out of towners, please do a full tailgate 😁

  7. I'm 48 and was a Bills fan growing up like most, instilled by my family.  Even though I rooted for them, it felt like my father's team more than my own.....until I attended the Comeback game.  That changed everything to a fanatical level.   

     

    Spending 3 of the 4 Super Bowls years going to school in Boston added fuel as well.  FYI it isn't the Pats SB successes that made New Englanders so annoying, they have always been that way.   It just made it worse.

    Yes but then taking on a $7.7 cap hit this year.    Is it worth when next years cap is expanding much more so a $2.6 mil hit is a much lower percentage of the total cap.  I think if they do sign J Phillips, (maybe was already confirmed and I didn't see the post yet) good chance he's gone in the final cut downs. 

     

    Basically if they cut him now, they're saving $1.5 mil.  What if a couple of DT's get hurt in training camp or pre-season?  Keep him around for now, see how camp goes if no big injuries then let him go in September.  If you let Star go now and then have injuries, not likely they will find a player as good as he is basically for $1.5 mil which is the saving by cutting him now.  As far as reps for other players go, if the team does intend to cut him in September, they can keep him around but keep him mainly on the sideline and give him minimal reps and practice time.

     

    He did start off the 2021 season playing well till Covid hit him

     

     

     

    I can think of 9.2 million reason why a team wouldn't want to trade for him, his salary.  The Bills may have to throw in a 2nd or a 3rd to get someone with cap space to take on that salary.  Throw in Beasley, now a team is taking on close to $16 mil in salary.  Trades to dump players have to be sweet deals for the team taking on the player or the player must still be wort hat least close to the contract value.

     

    I recall the Texans trading Osweiler and his $16 mil contract along with a 2nd & a 6th round pick to Cleveland for 4th rounder who then cut him.

     

    The Colts have 41 mil in cap space and need WR and DL help.  Osweiler is different, he did not play at all for 16 mil against their cap.  Star and Beasley are both capable players who have helped their team get to the playoffs last year.   The Colts fell short and could use them both.   Hard to pull off, maybe, but Bean could do it.  Or maybe Schoen could have
