This. I usually have the game on TV, on mute, with the radio broadcast running for audio.. Not always in sync, but still better.

I remember when he was killed. Happened on the Thruway not far from my house... I wanna say I was about 14. I believe he was running the wrong way down the Thruway.

Kid is the definition of finding a "diamond in the rough"

I think Dawkins has proved he's a pretty darn good left tackle.... Garrett is just a STUD, one of the better pass rushers in the league, first overall pick. We'll be fine.

Haha. She's still friendly with him... She said he was real doofy/immature (at the time). I know she talked to him a bit a year or two ago, I don't know if you remember but there was a story about his mother being killed when he was playing for the Broncos, and she of course reached out to him, but she tells me (of course she does) that she likes me better ?? oh enough with the Kap is being blackballed nonsense. Broncos offered him a deal and he turned it down. About tired of hearing that bs

Funny story, Zac Dysert was my wife's last boyfriend before she met me ?

I thought it was very well done. I love how Coach McDermott puts such an emphasis on energy, intensity, the team, etc. Nothing on this team is about the individual, it's all about the team. He has an incredible command on the locker room. Excited to see more of these, and very excited for the regular season to start!

I thought the same. The only one he had something positive to say about was Deshaun Watson. basically I look at it like this... If a white player came out and basically named all the black QB's and said that they're all "trash", it would be all over the media that that player is a "racist". Just sayin'

Maybe, or Daboll just wanted to get a lot of pass attempts in to evaluate the QB's. I wouldn't read too much into the play selection in the first preseason game. I doubt the game plan was philosophy-based, probably more evaluation-based than anything.

no. Just.... no. he had two good series' in a preseason game. His actual regular season performances to this point greatly outweigh 2 preseason drives. Who's trading for that? Other than Cleveland, who has their starter AND first overall pick QB?

My concern with it is that, as all judgment calls, there are going to be WAY too many of these calls that they just plain get wrong, and they can change the outcome of a game. I saw one last night, where a guy hit him, with his facemask (head up) and was called a penalty. The plays happen so fast, it's hard to see without the benefit of slow-motion replay. This rule is going to change games with bad calls.

This is the dumbest take I've read on here in a while. Maybe the coach has no desire to run the risk of sending pre-season game ONE (of which the final score has zero relevance) to overtime and get someone hurt?

Yeah. Agreed. A couple of my Panthers-fan friends commented on Murphy as well and how good he looked.

It definitely wasn't a Cam Newton-style, 3 feet over his head, uncatchable ball, that's for sure.

I thought Julian Stanford looked awful. He was wearing number 51 right? He was the one guy that stuck out to me as, "this guy has no business being on this team." Got burned, overran plays, I didn't see him make a good play (I did miss a bit of the late 2nd and early 3rd quarters putting my son to bed, so it's possible he made some good plays and I missed them.)

It was slightly behind. But that's a catch you have to make at the NFL level. Not every single pass is going to be dead on the money. That pick is absolutely on Ivory. And I am 100% NOT a Peterman fan. But No way can I blame that on him.

Kid has a cannon for an arm, that's for sure.

To go along with your Daboll point and the personnel combinations. It was great to see, in the first preseason game, the guys execute. They were changing personnel groupings, at some points, EVERY DOWN. And there didn't seem to be much confusion on the players' part. They seemed to know what they were doing. Didn't see any timeouts called because guys didn't know where they were supposed to be. Even when the 3rd string guys were on the field. Kudos to the coaching staff for having them prepared. All in all, I am as encouraged as I could possibly be after the first preseason game. I know it's only preseason. But I live in Charlotte and only get the Panthers broadcast... and even their broadcast team was talking about how one-sided the first half of that game was in favor of the Bills. I thought Robert Foster looked great also. He had 2 steps on the Panthers DB's more than once... that one that Allen overthrew by a step sticks out in my mind. The dude can certainly run! Some of my Panthers-fan friends have been talking about him this morning and how good he looked as well.

Draft kings has games in the preseason??

While I think this is (possibly) great news that it's not nearly as common as we thought.... Haven't we been told over and over that the only way to confirm CTE was for the person to be dead and you have to actually examine the brain? How the hell did they do a study with LIVING people, and go, "whelp, no CTE!"

I've never understood the "new stadium" nonsense. I live in Charlotte and there was a lot of talk about how once the Panthers were sold, they would "have" to build a new stadium to replace the old, outdated one. I've been to a few games there (mostly all Bills games). It's a pretty nice damn stadium, compared to NEF. And I LOVE New Era Field. Some of my greatest memories are there as a kid. I just feel building a new stadium will alienate a HUGE portion of the fan base that simply won't be able to afford single-game tickets, let alone PSL's. Lets face it, Buffalo isn't exactly a white-collar town, where people just have 25 grand laying around (per seat) to throw down for a PSL. Did you watch the game when the Bills played in Atlanta last year in their big fancy new stadium? The home of the defending NFC champions, who took the previous year's Super Bowl to overtime, in the early part of the season.... you'd think there'd be TONS of hype. The place was EMPTY. If you want to kill the gameday experience and have a half-empty stadium, that nobody wants to pay for in the first place...... then yeah, go ahead and build a new stadium.

Christmas 2016

Going with the over. The moment I read the thread title, the number that popped into my head is 6.

Yes, but not for the reason of, "he's a second round pick so he should be on the team".... Do we really have six or seven wide receivers that are better than him? Unfortunately, no.

I really don't like the race card here. In all honesty, I'm pretty positive just as many (if not more) hate Manziel as hate Cam.
