Logic

When you and the wife are watching a pristine Labrador named Professor Wiggle Bottom defy gravity and catch a frisbee mid backflip instead of a Goo-Goo Dolls/ Matchbox 20 collaboration, you'll thank me AND the joint I flew in on.

Nah, I wasn't there. But I WAS once at a game where a single Mylar balloon took out the entire stadium's power for the duration of the game. Only in Orchard Park.

I think they ought to do away with musical acts at Super Bowl half time entirely. They're always over-produced and mediocre, they're running out of good acts wiling to do the shows, and most people change the channel to Puppy Bowl anyway. So you may be asking: What do you suggest instead, Logic? Well, I'll tell you: Ya ever been to a football game and seen where, at halftime, they throw the frisbees really long distances and dogs go and catch them mid-air in acrobatic leaps? Like they run 60 yards at a dead sprint and then do a run-and-jump off a step and fly into the air majestically and catch the frisbee and the crowd goes wild? Right. Well, just track those things all over the country throughout the season, and find out who the very best frisbee catching acrobat dog is. The goodest boy, if you will. And bring him to the Super Bowl, and let him go do his thing for the duration of halftime. You may be rolling your eyes or saying that this would never work. But be honest with me: If they had a really excellent acrobat dog doing sprint-and-catch daredevil frisbee tricks, WOULDN'T YOU WATCH IT?! You can't tell me you wouldn't. Wouldn't your WIFE watch it? Wouldn't you and your drunken friends bet on the outcomes of each throw? Wouldn't it be a uniting spectacle for all of America in a time of great discord? It would be the best and you know it. It's what they should do. I'm certain of it.

Great lineup. It seems like they've gone through just about every generic, plastic pop act and over-the-hill dinosaur rock band in existence, so why not switch it up?

Josh three for a thousand yards and infinity touchdowns against the Seahawks, and Carroll literally said “we had a hell of a plan to stop their run game, I’ll tell you that!”. It was one of my favorite things that’s ever happened.

Do you actually think this?

I wonder if "sooner rather than later" means 2022, as opposed to the 2023 timeline that many assumed. It's hard to imagine Brown taking Williams' spot unless Williams seriously starts struggling. I thought he looked really good against WFT and Chase Young in particular. Meanwhile, Brown doesn't seem to be a guard -- nor do I think the staff would want to put him there -- and Williams was terrible as a guard in Carolina. IF Brown starts this season, it'll either be because he outplays Williams and takes his job or due to injury at one of the two tackle spots. Otherwise, I can see it being quite possible, and even likely, that Brown takes over at RT in 2022 and Williams is cut for cap savings. Edit: What I'm really hoping is that Tommy Doyle winds up being worth a damn, too, because then we'd be in a really good place with tackle depth. I'm not so sure how often fifth round offensive tackles go on to have long, productive careers, though.

Hopefully the Bills defense has Mills feeling Kind of Blue after Sunday’s game.

I hear ya. The reason I said what I said about the Texans instead of the Jets is that weird things can always happen in divisional games, as highlighted by the fact that we had weird, close games against clearly inferior Jets teams the past couple seasons. Last year, against the horrible Adam Gase version of the Jets, we won by 10 and 8 points, respectively. Meanwhile, as bad as Zach Wilson has been, I'd still take him over Davis Mills. Jets should be an easy win, don't get me wrong. But this Texans roster, with Mills at QB and Culley at HC? It has "blowout Bills win" written all over it.

I won't be more confident of a Bills win the rest of the season than I am of this one. If you're in a survivor pool, probably a good week to use the Bills.

And yet, there are many, many other horrible NFL announcers who don't elicit one tenth the hate and groans on this forum that Mowins elicits. Bills draw bad announcers all the time, but it usually doesn't turn into a five+ page thread. I am really curious to know what it would take for most of the Mowins haters on here to actually enjoy a female announcer -- other than her being physically attractive. I really don't think it's all that radical or bold to presume that there's a certain segment of football fans who don't like the idea of a female announcer, period. In my opinion, it's just as lazy to assume that that type of misogyny outright doesn't exist than it is to assume that everyone subscribes to it. Some here may genuinely dislike Mowins solely on the basis of her announcing skills or lack thereof, but to think that NONE of the dislike being thrown her way has to do with her gender seems naive.

This one gives me "Bills-Steelers 2019" vibes. Score is closer than most Bills fans would like throughout the game. Good Josh still hasn't quite awakened, and the "what's wrong with the Bills offense?" takes stick around for another week. In the end, the Tyler Heinecke led Washington offense simply doesn't have what it takes. Bills win 20-13.

The Scouting Academy https://scoutingacademy.com/ "Our Film Evaluation Course is a 16-week curriculum designed to teach you the process of scouting. Learn from NFL Execs and Coaches from the comfort of your home, on your schedule." Pretty cool, actually. I've looked into enrolling myself at times. After completing all of the courses offered, a person is theoretically able to go from the basic level of football knowledge most fans have to being knowledgeable enough to be employed by a college or pro team (provided, of course, that they're sharp and dedicated enough to apply themselves to the lessons taught). What a time to be a football fan!

I have been reading a lot of concern over the Washington D-line. I, too, initially had this concern. I just read, however, that the WFT is only ranked 13th in pass rush win rate this season. It's not like they've played against great o-lines, either. At the end of the day, I see a team that just BARELY squeaked out a win at home against a bad Giants team. The advantages that they have are 3 days more rest than the Bills and a talented (though somewhat under-performing) D-line. Aside from those, I don't really see any areas where Washington is better than the Bills.

I think it would be a bit more interesting to talk about the all-time list of Bills tight ends. Yes, it's a motley crew. Something like... 1. Ernie Warlick 2. Pete Metzelaars 3. Keith McKellar 4. Jay Riemersma 5. Charles Clay Woof. On second thought, let's never discuss this again.

Six pages of discussion based off of one photo indicating that our quarterback may have gotten a pretty common form of physical therapy done. Never change, Two Bills Drive.

Did anyone else already post this? All-22 should be back tomorrow. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/09/22/nfl-says-all-22-film-is-expected-to-return-on-friday/ "The All-22 film is returning. Soon. Very soon. According to the NFL. The league had been targeting late Week One or early Week Two for a return of the coaching film to the Game Pass feature. Per the NFL, the current plan is for the All-22 films to become reincorporated into the Game Pass function on Friday of this week."

Bills should be fine. Just gotta keep an eye out for Darrell Green on the back end and make sure they contain Mark Rypien in the pocket.

No.
