Uh, no. That's not going to happen.

I don't get the throwing motion thing. If a guy has a weird throwing motion but is accurate and timely, what's the big deal? Phillip Rivers is a borderline hall of famer. There are plenty of other examples of guys with weird throwing motions and angles and who get the job done.

People need to remember that there are going to be a lot more players put on and taken off IR this year. Normal injuries that take two to three weeks to heal will get you sent to IR. Honestly, I hope it stays this way in future seasons (including the practice squad rules). It's better for everyone. It will give more opportunities to practice squad players, prevent players from rushing back from injury too early, and give teams more flexibility.

I think they are all accurately rated except for maybe Murphy who is treated like he's a terrible player when he isn't. I disagree with the rest. Morse? He isn't even talked about often, so how can he be overrated? I think most understand we overpaid for him a little because he was the best option in free agency. If you sign starters in free agency you will overpay. He's a solid player. I also don't think Poyer or Milano are overrated. Poyer is a fringe pro bowl safety and Milano is a fringe pro bowl linebacker. Both are very good. They aren't great or elite or anything, but they are very solid and every team in the league would be happy to have them. The real value in Poyer is the tandem between him and Hyde. Hughes is another of those very solid players. There is a lot of divided opinion on both sides for him, so I don't think it is fair to say he is overrated OR underrated. He's both, depending on which fan you ask. The truth is somewhere in-between. Brown gets a ton of respect around here. Maybe he is underrated nationally, though?

I think they'll want to give him more experience and continue to play him. But that depends on how bad he struggles.

Yeah, it depends on how Ford does. If he is average I think they'll start Feliciano and move Ford back to RT, but that also depends on how Williams or whoever they start at RT is doing. If nothing else, Feliciano is an excellent backup interior olineman. Not if he struggles.

That's how I felt a few months ago. But then they lost their two best players. The Jets don't have a chance this year. They will win a handful of games, but this is going to Gase's last year as a head coach.

Is it just alphabetical order? I think Ford will start at RG until Feliciano is back.

That's a good point. It would make sense to sign running backs to shorter deals, but it takes two to tango. Running backs probably prefer the longer term deals because it offers more security. QB's should want short-term deals, especially if they are elite.

I wanted to watch the Chiefs/Texans game, and I did. Packers vs Vikings should be fun.

Don't forget the Jets missed kicks. That was big in deciding the outcome. It was a strange game, honestly. I never actually felt like the Bills would lose. Our defense was smothering and our offense moved the ball at will until inexplicably squandering opportunity after opportunity. I felt like they would turn it around and get the win, and they did. But they made it uncomfortably close.

Well I agree. Earlier in the off-season I was talking up the Jets and thought they might get to 8 or 9 wins, then all the shenanigans started with trading their best player, Mosley opting out, injuries to offensive weapons, and of course Gase being the opposite of a leader. So I am fully on board the "Jets suck" train now.

He has the year to prove it, unless the offense is just so bad he gets fired mid season. I have an open mind. Haven't cast judgement on him yet. I could see him being good or being bad. Let's hope he is good.

I get the frustration, but limiting the contact on the field makes sense. If an opposing player is somehow infected and comes into contact with a Bills player, you want as few potential contacts as possible. So the NFL and NFLPA have been trying to get as few people on the sidelines as possible. Makes sense to me.

Wow. That's a crazy stat. But Darnold's tenure in New Jersey is marked by his lack of support. The offensive line was very bad last year and he didn't have many weapons. Kind of similar to this year except he has less weapons and his oline may possibly be better. I personally think Darnold is a good QB, albeit turnover prone.

Be sure to bring your playbook...

I'll take one of each.

Why should this place be different than the rest of the nation?

Best thing about Marv was he was a great leader and motivator, and he somehow kept the strong personalities on the team focused and working together. Sean appears to be a great leader and motivator as well. And he has a clear goal and steps to achieve those goals.

Is it not breaking the law to trespass?

Just follow the rules, people! Doesn't matter if you don't like them. If you want change go through the proper channels.

They are seriously beyond reason. They are the one fan base in the NFL that just seem completely and utterly clueless and delusional. When the Bills are bad, yeah, you still have a few delusional fans, but most of us know it and own it (apart from maybe a little hope going into the season). Those guys have to manufacture wins and talent in their heads and ignore their own team completely.

Yeah, I was trying to think of who they have besides Crowder and Mimms. I didn't even remember Perriman. If we were playing in New Jersey I would be slightly worried, but I just don't see how we lose this at home (even without fans).

I saw a lot of people on the sidelines with masks on their chins of touching it constantly. Kind of defeats the purpose of a mask. And right as the broadcasters were saying the fans in the stands should be wearing masks it was showing fans without masks. And the fans did not seem overly distanced to me. They seemed to be together in clumps. We'll see how it goes after week 1.

Comparing Kelce to Knox? That's a huge reach. And then Allen to Mahomes is obviously a wide gulf. But the biggest difference is Andy Reid's play calling. That dude comes up with some nifty misdirection and interesting designs. He uses motion well. He uses screens well. Daboll isn't anywhere near that.
