So that means they were following the rules. Contact means 15 minutes of contact within 6 feet with no masks.

What do you mean by reduced?

Maybe you need to reread my comments. Nothing childish about them. At all.

Just using your terminology.

Fools people into thinking he is a starter. But he's not. He is a backup. YOU are the fool if you don't think he is a good backup QB.

As a backup? He absolutely is good enough.

Fitz is too smart to come here. He'll go somewhere he can play. That's why he keeps going places to be the bridge QB or to places with a shaky starter. Maybe NE next year...

I'd rather face the Dolphins in the playoffs than the Ravens. Now that we have the division clinched I am all for Miami winning games. But I do want the 2nd seed still, so if we need that game week 17, go and win it.

Don't look at Ike Boettger's rating...

I'm sure they knew Brown would be back this week PRIOR to the Denver game. They probably activated Kumerow and played him because it was already determined that he would be released after that game, so they gave him a good last hurrah. We have plenty of depth at the position. And we got along fine on special teams before he got here.

What does Moss answering a question about how far Allen can throw it have to do with a LAMP? I don't get it.

I think that's fine. They will do a big adjustment in the next version of the game, I'd bet.

It is literally a claim. Definition: "an assertion of the truth of something, typically one that is disputed or in doubt."

Zack Moss speculates that Josh Allen could throw the football 100 plus yards. “Probably 100 yards … plus, I think, if he just wants to zip it instead of putting air … on the ball, I think he can probably throw it 100-plus. His arm is just— I mean, he has a top-five arm. He’s super strong, and he knows how to use his body to help him get a lot of throws off and stuff like that, so I would say 100-plus.” https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/josh-allen-can-throw-a-football-over-100-yards-bills-running-back-zack-moss-claims/

And most of the players and coaches during those bad years are now gone, so why would the players and coaches have any incentive to contribute to a tank?

People are also entitled to make fun of said opinions.

Could have happened in practice. Not sure.

I'm just surprised teams have still been giving him chances. He shouldn't be banned for life, but giving him a shot means cutting someone else who WON'T get suspended every year.

I'd rather have that matchup in the divisional round or later.

Exactly. That's why the same teams are always drafting in the top 10. They suck at playing, they suck at drafting, and they suck at developing players.

What did he say about the Bills that impressed you? Everything he said seemed pretty general and are things that everyone knows. Belichick is obviously a great coach, but if you are using his press conferences as evidence of that, I think you are missing the mark. And McDermott has shown plenty of times his ability to adjust and gameplan. He wrote the script on how to beat the Ravens (even in a loss) that other teams have followed since. He for sure knows his opponents well.

They do seem like they are a year ahead of where many expected them to be. But also the Patriots suck this year, which was not something the Bills had the advantage of during their rebuild. But it all comes down to QB. And Tua is not necessarily the long-term answer there. To me he looks ok but nothing jumps off the page for me. He's ok. Maybe he will be the guy, maybe not.

I don't feel bad for either of them. I find joy in their suffering.

I always rooted for wins during the bad times. Let the draft work itself out. I don't want to root for a team or players who aren't trying to win. And as I see it, the players and coaches are usually trying in these "tanking" teams. Sometimes they are hamstrung by the front office gutting the team of talent, but the players and coaches are wired to win.

I just don't see evidence of McDaniels being a good coach. I'm always skeptical of the coordinators who have a hall of fame QB to carry them. And I am doubly skeptical of NE coaches who leave the nest. They don't seem to find success when they try to recreate the Patriot way elsewhere. I guess Daboll may fall into that category, but he had coaching experience before NE and after, and he certainly does not seem to instill the same kind of culture as Belichick. He works closely with the players and has a very friendly relationship with them (more in line with McDemott's philosophy of brotherly love).
