Ed Oliver got hurt the first play. He'll probably be fine, though.

Tyreek Hill and Antonio Brown.

But not holding. The DB had his arm around him the entire time.

That's even worse, if so.

That was a cheap shot by Williamson. I don't know what he was thinking.

I hate the jersey number zero for players. It looks so bad. Oh well.

They used to throw some to John Brown that worked.

It's the preseason. Most teams go pretty vanilla.

I'm not sure "admired" is the best word. But some of my favorite players to watch over the years are: Non-Bills Players: - Peyton Manning - Drew Brees - Luke Kuechly Bills Players: - Steve Tasker - Bruce Smith - Josh Allen - Kyle Williams - Eric Moulds

They just look like they are sitting minding their own business to me. I'm not sure what you are seeing.

I saw enough in his first season to be convinced. His win against the Vikings was great. Then that masterful week 17 win against the Dolphins where he threw for 3 TD's and ran for 2. The Vikings game showed me he had the "it" factor and the big play ability. The Dolphins game showed me he had the skill and arm talent to become a great passer, not to mention his running ability. But there were great moments in other games that year too. Some of his best career highlights are from his rookie year. I mean, yeah, in 2020 the NFL learned what he could do, but there was so much evidence before then.

He is a replacement level receiver. The Steelers know how to get the most out of their receivers, somehow.

I always take the approach that football is football. You can't play scared. You can't worry about injury. The players have a job to do. It certainly is a risk, but it is always a risk. I do think players need to have some full contact to get ready for the season.

The 90's were the golden era of NFL football. High flying offenses. Legendary players. It was just becoming the behemoth it still is today. Defenses could still play defense, at least compared to today. Rivalries still meant something. Coaches and players still had attitude. BTW, I think it is ths same for the NBA. That was the best decade for sports.

Yeah, that's what I was wondering. He sounds terrible, so why did he get hired?

I bet Allen won't play anything close to a full quarter.

Lighten up.

But the real question is what color of nail polish he will be wearing 🤔

Dorsey's offense was designed to have an answer for everything the defense did. So, lots of option routes for receivers. Lots of diagnosing and checks at the line. It was a cerebral offense. But that put a lot of responsibility on the receivers to do the right thing and for the QB to be always on the same page with them. And that just isn't the kind of QB Josh Allen is. I think the offense had him and his receivers thinking too much. Plus, Allen has always been a guy who likes to see his target open before he fires, rather than throwing it to a spot or leading his receiver. So, ultimately that is on Dorsey for not designing an offense that worked with his super star QB or the pieces he had, but that doesn't mean it was a bad scheme. There are plenty of QB's who would do well in a system like that. And I don't think Dorsey called low percentage or predictable plays. I think Allen took the low percentage options perhaps too much, maybe because his reads took him there, or maybe because he trusted Diggs and Davis too much to bring in the long bombs.

Why do you think Dorsey lacked imagination? I just think his concepts and scheme didn't align well with Josh Allen's strengths and weaknesses. Josh Allen needs a little less structure and a little more room to improvise.

He is a happy, "aww shucks" kind of guy. Hellhound doesn't fit.

I'm sure these would suffice:

Looks like he was just trying to avoid training camps.

Sunglasses.

I guess I'll be the dissenter and say that Madden is not an awful game. I think it is fun. I still get into it. Does it have its issues? Of course. Should EA get a free pass for their questionable decisions on features and what aspects of the game to focus on? No. But... its still a fun game. You have to use the sliders to make it playable, though, I'll admit. But I don't buy it every year. I usually buy it every 2 or 3 years and just play that one until I feel like getting the newer version.
