I.e. Philly last season. Had the worst feeling about that game, just felt like it was "lay an egg" time.

I think their defense is still going to be pretty good. And it's going to be the focal point because it's the more talented unit. They're gonna look to score 17-20 points a game and then let the defense close it out. Offensively, they're still able to adjust their schemes pretty well. One week they're a power running team, the next week they're a West Coast dink and dunkeroo show. A lot of that will depend on Stidham, though. I don't care how high they are on him, he's still going to struggle in his first year against NFL starters. They also lost Dante Scarnecchia, the OL coach. The last time he retired, the OL went straight to Poopsville, so much so that Bellychunx called and persuaded Scarnecchia to come back. Without him there, I'd like to think they'll make a long awaited return to Poopsville. They certainly won't be able to hide behind Brady's quick snap-to-throw times. It's just difficult to count them out either way, Brady or no Brady. They still have Bellychunx who is a situational football wizard and could probably find ways to win with a JV team.

Saw an interesting stat on Tua today: for his entire college career, he was hit or sacked on only 77 dropbacks...and was seriously injured on three of those hits. Meanwhile, Fitz was hit/sacked over 130 times last season alone and didn't miss time. So, if I'm Miami, I'm looking to build one of the best passpro OLs in the league before handing the keys to Tua, otherwise that dude could have an awfully short career. They're off to a great start with this Austin Jackson kid, 10th overall pick, wait what's this? Bills second round pick AJ Epenesa beat the pants off the guy the last time they played? Daahahahaha! I love it. I hate you, Miami. I hate you, New England. And I really... really hate you, NYJ. Go straight to heck. All of yas. Do not pass Go, do not collect any victories whatsoever and just be gone. Turds.

Yeah but, Beane didn't do a thing I thought he should've done. And then McDermott did a thing I thought should've been done but not in the way I wanted. Therefore, these bums just can't be trusted. I am a fan and they owe this to me. I pay these guys salaries, ya know. Cause this one time I bought a plate of nachos at the game and that was like $63 bucks, man. I ain't no dummy. I know that money lines them Mean Beane pockets. The fact that the nacho cheese poured down the front of my pants and scalded my, uh, thing, is irrelevant! They still owe me exactly one nachos and to do things the way I say they should be done. Because again, I pay the salaries and my football expertise generated over years of babbling on internet forums far surpasses anything those two dumdums think they know.

Have fun being on the suckiest team to have ever sucked with the googliest eyed coach to ever, uh, googily.

I'm with you on this. Yeah, there were some drops, some at really inopportune times, but on the flipside he made some difficult catches look easy. Now just reel in the easy ones as well and he'll be fine. I really feel like this team has several players with that "it" factor right now and to me, Knox is one of them.

Aw man, what a bummer. Even when he was beating up on our Bills it was still hard not to respect his greatness. RIP Coach Shula. All time great.

He's got X-ray vision and just drove past Beane's house. Duh.

I was ranting, haha. Perhaps I've been cooped up for too long. On Allen's running, I think the kid knows when to slide or get out of bounds. He's also bigger than a lot of LBs and DBs. He also seems to get a lot of props for being tough. That said, I think he'll probably have some better luck staying healthy than Cam did. I do wonder if he'll suffer the same "no call" treatment Cam had. Watched one game a couple seasons ago and there were at least three clear head to head hits he took and not a flag on any of 'em. Might've been that game where he claims the ref told him he hadn't earned those type of calls yet.

I don't think he's done but I can't imagine he's real thrilled with the front office right now. One of the deepest WR drafts in years and they don't even take a swing on a mid-round guy when it's obvious they need someone decent across from Adams.

What cracks me up is how the "analysts" view different running QBs. Josh Allen takes off for a 15 yard gain, steps out of bounds, no one touches him. Analyst: Oh boy, there goes Josh Allen. Coaches really don't want him taking those type of risks, he could really harm his team if he takes a hit and has to miss time. Analyst #2: He's gotta be smarter, Bob. Just a selfish play here. How dare he! Lamar Jackson takes off for a 15 yard gain, gets plastered by JJ Watt, the 17th hit he's taken today. Same Analyst: Lamar Jackson! Oh my! Is there nothing this kid can't do?! Analyst #2: Dapgum, Bob, I don't think there is anything he can't do! Hell, he can perform my open-heart surgery if he wants! Blindfolded! Ugh. As I've gotten older I've come to loathe the analysts more and more. Started watching some games on mute last year. I hate the whole thing. I know they have a job to do and they have their little production meetings and they outline their stupid little talking points, etc. But that doesn't make me wanna take their microphones away and throw 'em in the lake any less.

Oh man, you just brought back what must've been a repressed memory already. I'd forgotten about Duke's drop. That was a rough one to see. Tough catch for sure, but it was there. I can't quite recall Brown's miss on the other play you mentioned so maybe it was worse, haha.

Me too. I don't think Levi Wallace was that bad and they must think the same while also thinking they can get some production from Norman and Gaines.

Mean Beane Okerlund! It's nice having such an organized, focused, strategic front office. For anyone whining about what Beane did or didn't do, I dunno, perhaps you missed the last 20 years full of Tom Donahoe, Marv Levy, Buddy Nix, Doug Whaley, etc. No GM is perfect, obviously, but I can't tell you how friggin' old it gets to see crap like, "Ermagawd! Da Ravens and da Colts and da Patriots are dEsTRoyInG Beane! This is an abomination of a draft! How dare he NOT move around the board and trade up?! Asleep at the wheel! This is a travesty!" Just...ugh, come off it. So far, he's drafted players a round later than their projections. He's getting excellent value and solid players. "But Beane failed cause Billy Bellychunx traded up and took Kyle Dugger! He's playing 86D chess while Beane plays tic tac turds! Cleanse the office, Pegula! Purge me of this GM who hath constructed a playoff roster simply because I believe another GM did a better jorb!" Derp.

After round three wrapped up last night I was scanning through who was left and thought this kid seemed like a good fit here.

Felt like he'd be the pick with the way the board fell. He's a McBeane Special. Blue collar, nothing crazy spectacular but does everything well, has position versatility, etc. I'm good with it. DL looks pretty good... Hughes, Murphy, Addison, Lotulelei, Oliver, Butler, Jefferson, Epenesa.

And neeeever call her again!

Wife made chili last night, so we'll have that with a side of laundry and other various household chores. Super exciting stuff going down at casa de blacklabel.

I'm with ya on this. I do not at all yearn for the days of Buddy "We gon' stand pat, we like our picks" Nix. It's such a catch-22 with some fans, tho. They'll whine that the Bills didn't do enough in the draft, didn't swing any big trades, etc. Then we get a regime that isn't afraid of risks and moves around the board and those same fans will shout, "No! Not like that! You've ruined everything, you've wasted all the good picks!" Can't win.

If I were the Bengals, I'd string Miami along all GD day and make them legitimately believe they're going to get the #1 overall pick. And then when the draft started and the Bengals were on the clock, I'd go dead silent on Miami and let them watch on TV as Burrow gets picked.

Probably the best uniform tweak this year. I really dig the font of the numbers. I'd like to see the Bills with a more modern approach. Keep the colors, I think their color scheme and their shade of blue is great, just add some flair, I guess. I dunno. I'm kinda one of those logo/uniform nerds and dapgummit (Rivers style) if I'm not starting to feel left out of the Uniform Tweak Party.

What a doofus. Some of these guys have no foresight. Not once does this dingleberry think, "Hmm, how will other teams see this? Does this help me in the long run?" And then he calls the dude a spoiled brat when it's been him running his mouth and whining this entire time. Dude isn't even that good and he's acting like he's a top 3 edge guy.

Josh drops back, rolls to his right, fires, he has Shaq Phillips deep! Goal! 4 points! - Stephen A.

I posted a screenshot of the email I received, hopefully that helps some. I don't think I received this email until after I received my first payment from unemployment so maybe you'll get the same one after you receive benefits? But as far as I know, so long as you're returning to your usual job once restrictions are lifted, you don't need to show then you're searching for jorbs.

Everyone getting uniform updates. These are pretty good. Bills up next. Going full camo.
