Injuries are not public knowledge. Teams are required to report very specific things at very specific times, and it can be extremely vague. They do not have to give any details to anyone. That's all teams are required to do. They have to report whether or not a player was out, limited, or a full participant in practice and they have to get an injury designation (questionable, doubtful, out) for game days. And the reasons can be extremely vague: "Josh Allen, limited, hand". No details are required.

What a bunch of nonsense.

What does that have to do with professional athletes? I really don't get the connection.

Yes, I'd do the same thing. And the stadium is owned by the state, not Pegula, so he has to pay rent to the state for it. The state invests for the income and tax revenue.

Why should he?

Good for him. Go spend that money. You can't take it with you in the end.

They still have to get through the last preseason game.

Its just his sons that make the drama you speak of. He sold his soul to the NFL, so was an absent father, so he raised some rich kids without a father to really guide them. That's how I see it.

Levi Wallace was picked on a lot because Tre White was a lock down corner that offenses avoided. That is always a really tough position to be in because you get game planned against heavily and heavily targeted. So, that is part of it. That will be the case for Tre White this year because offenses avoid Benford now. Wallace was definately a replaceable player. He did sign a decent contract to go start for Seattle, though. I think the league viewed him as a low level starter. Now he is viewed as a depth player. A lot of players who leave Buffalo seem to play worse wherever they go, with a few exceptions.

Because of injury. That is when depth players generally play. Cole Bishop was injured and then got behind the curve. But he was actually a good tackler and not as bad as everyone made him out to be. You don't want him to start, but he gives you a decent baseline if he is forced into action.

That's what I can do with my shirt after yard work in the summer months living in Louisiana, but socks? That is crazy. My feet do not sweat like that.

This is so out of touch with reality. Every team has 10 Levi Wallace type players. He's a depth player. If he was available on August 20th, why wouldn't he be on August 27th, regardless of the 3rd preseason game?

How could the strength and conditioning staff have anything to do with a player who signed and got hurt on his first day? What strength and conditioning could they have helped him with?

They signed him to play in the 3rd preseason game and he got hurt in the first practice.

They aren't sitting in zone. They are playing a ton of man coverage and blitzing a lot. You "soft zone" complainers don't even know what you are looking at.

Bishop played 12 snaps with a bunch of backups against starters, after missing a bunch of time with injury, was clearly shaking off some rust, and we all want to write him off before he even plays a snap in his 2nd year. Ok.

Yep. They are backups for a reason.

He wasn't even that great of a blocker. Hey, Gabe Davis is a good 3rd/4th option. You just don't want him as a 1 or 2. If we can get him back for cheap, it wouldn't hurt.

Kirk Cousins, Jimmy G, Daniel Jones, Jake Browning, Marcus Mariota, Andy Dalton, Jacoby Brisset, Gardner Minshew, Cooper Rush, Zach Wilson, etc. Russell Wilson at this point (even though he is technically starting, but he is basically a backup level QB now). Tyrod Taylor is still maybe above average as a backup. I was actually really hoping the Bills would sign Zach Wilson as a backup. He is athletic and has a big arm. He is a good kid and would probably really benefit from being with a strong organization and Josh Allen. I think he would be a good backup.

If he makes it, it's because he shows up and makes plays on special teams. It would be cool if he became a core special teamer.

Actually, one of his pre draft concerns was his arm strength. But he does have a little athleticism. And it still appears to be an issue: https://forum.chicitysports.com/threads/tyson-bagent’s-arm-strength-is-still-a-glaring-issue.102375/

You are using your knowledge post draft to say they should have drafted one high in the draft. Cole Bishop was still highly thought of then. And he has barely played, so maybe wait to see how he does this year and don't write him off from a single preseason game.

They drafted one high last year!

What did he average in the elimination games, which is what I actually referenced? And how many TDs?

Some teams have performed that badly in regular season games. It sucks to watch, but that is football. Sometimes the games suck. That's just baked into the nature of the game. Fans aren't entitled to a high quality performance by their team. The NFL itself does everything it can to provide an exciting product, but that doesn't always happen, especially in preseason.
