  1. All the shows seem to be moving away from highlights, probably due to the instant availability of highlights online. It's extremely frustrating... You'd like to be able to get reasonably comprehensive highlights from all games via one source, but it's just not like that anymore; you even have to watch NFL Network for HOURS to get around to packages for every game. Yes, the NFL posts 10-minute game recaps on YouTube, but 16x10 is too much time when you used to be able to catch good highlights on FNIA (wayyyy shortened now) or via Berman and Jackson. Sad. Would really like the league to post a 15-minute all-games highlight video if they want everything to be online. The other downside of the game recaps online is they are just the original calls without commentary/highlight music.

     The story is his son talked him into coming back and play. Frank looked spent today. I was hoping he'd be a more productive version of Mike Tolbert. At this point I'd cut him and get Murphy back but that's just me?

    Yeah. He also looks a lot smaller than he did at his previous stops. I don't think he has power anymore. Look at his legs even in Miami and it's kind of shocking how much smaller he is.

  3. Reading Vic's idiotic, dishonest, completely out-of-touch take...

     

    I lost a lot of respect for him since he came back to Buffalo. He tries to stir things up and create issues to the detriment of the team. He works against the team, planting things in players' and coaches' minds.

  4. Between the preseason and the issues today, I think you have to be at least A LITTLE concerned. Hopefully it's just that he's still getting used to Allen's ball. I think it'll improve. But you can't have balls deflecting over the middle.

     

    Cowboys Twitter people were talking today about how much of an upgrade Randall Cobb is for them because he's physical. I dunno.

     

    The deficiency I noticed more today is Levi Wallace's tackling. It looked like he got run over for nice gains twice.

    Disgusting. Sickening.

     

    I have a strange feeling he won't get suspended now that he's in NE.

     

    This might be the final straw for me with NE. I don't know that I can watch anymore. If they have success, everyone's level of hatred of them will reach unprecedented levels. Pure disgust.

     

    They're not cheating the league, but it feels like it. It's been too long. I think we're all officially done. But for them, it's whatever it takes to get one last ring.

    How do you feel about the Browns name? 

    It's also puzzling on the surface (especially given the helmet color), but it makes a lot more sense to people when you explain the origin. Even without the origin, there are numerous other major sports franchises that are just colors, so it's not as strange as Bills.

  7. This isn't something I'd ever considered, but I'm kind of shocked at how open to it I am.

     

    Assuming the logo stays the same, just "Buffalo" is intriguing, but media templates would be a problem.

     

    Bisons would actually work! Just don't change the logo and I think we'd still feel it's the same team.

     

    "Buffaloes" would be hilarious because Buffalo Buffaloes brings to mind "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo," but there would be problems with the spelling because people wouldn't know whether to use "Buffaloes" or "Buffalos."

     

    Objectively, Bills is pretty embarrassing and causes lots of issues... Makes no sense with the branding, and I've had so many people (mainly women who aren't true football fans) call them the bulls or buffaloes. I've had so many blank stares after explaining the origins and the Buffalo Bill thing. It just makes no sense that Buffalo Bill isn't in our branding AT ALL. We could at least have an alternate logo or something, or how about Buffalo Bill riding the charging buffalo? Someone should do a mockup on that!

     

    On the surface, "I'm a Bills fan" makes no sense to people. It might be the most confusing team name in sports. Bills? "Is the team named after people named Bill?" Buffalo Bill isn't widely known enough for it to be obvious, especially since he's not associated with the city of Buffalo. There's also a weird element with Buffalo Bill getting his name due to his talent for KILLING the animal on our helmet... It's all really odd.

    4 pages in and nobody has called this out to be the troll post that it is???

    It's Gugny. He's one of the favorites of admin, so he can say whatever he wants without criticism from the old timers.

    Anyone know why the "9-7 this year or bust" thread was locked!?  

     

    Just read the whole thing; it wasn't any more particularly vile than any other thread on this forum and it wasn't really veering off the rails or anything.

     

    I guess we are editing for content around here now?
