ColoradoBills

Is this thing on?

20 of 42 for 239 yards, 2 TDs, 1 Fumble, 2 INT on targets. I liked Davis but this is who he is.

you thought taking this picture was...........................

Exactly. Every week from now on brings on all kinds of new scenarios. General Comment: Can the NFL please get rid of the "only one team gets a bye" system. Either go back to 6 playoff teams or just make it a tournament and go to 8 teams. It's foolish with the 1 team gets a bye.

Very good points. It's songs that have been so misinterpreted. Most people don't care at all and use it for opposite reasoning. I don't understand totally what makes Mr. Brightside a stadium song, but it doesn't bother me at all. It seems to me people only see their point of view which many times makes no sense at all. I have friends saying I need go to church more but still sing "Hell's Bells" when it's on the radio, like they did when they were 18. LOL. People are strange.................. as the song goes. Oops, maybe that doesn't fit.

That's my whole point. I also agree about how teams "try" to bring a young QB around. This mostly happens to only a handful of higher drafted college QBs. The success rate for that is very small. There is a limited amount of NFL games and too many QBs to evaluate sufficiently. I'm not criticizing anyone; it's just a fact in today's NFL. Not one team in the NFL was going to give a 6th round pick Tom Brady a year to see "what he can do". I'll go a step further and say if Bledsoe got injured in Brady's rookie season he may not have succeeded. It was all dumb luck. The top 2 QBs in the 2000 draft was Chad Pennington and Giovanni Carmazzi.

Of course, but time is only given to a few QBs every year, typically only the top draft picks. Most do not succeed. The Tannehill's also have varying degrees of skills. Goff was considered the same. Same goes for Tua. It's only by dumb luck that guys like Brady, Warner, Purdy and others are given the chance to show what they can do. At least that's how I see it.

I agree with you, but at least I remembered I had Mongolian Beef.

With all the talent, both physical and mental that a "better than average" QB needs to possess, it's crazy that so much more is needed for them to succeed. Then, on top of that, a QB has to show signs of being able to do it in a "franchise QB" role almost immediately upon entering the league. For the vast majority of young QBs, they need a decent amount of proper training/playing time in the NFL to see if they have "it" or not. The way teams are pushed towards immediate success, these young QBs seldom get the time. It is a classic "Catch 22".

Steve Wisniewski was an iron man at LG for the Raiders for his entire 13-year career.

What is even worse IMO is a little understanding. That is most of us. I have to keep reminding myself of that. One thing I have found fascinating is watching the Mannings and Belichick on ESPN2 MNF. Listening to BB DURING a football game is so much more interesting than listening to "pundits" after the game. When BB talks about the defensive schemes it shows how much offensive knowledge he has to have. It makes me chuckle a bit about some saying McDermott doesn't know offenses because he's a defensive coach. The constant cat-and-mouse game that goes on is only surpassed by how fast the adjustments have to continuously be made. Then again, after all this "pre-snap" coaching is done, the players have to execute, adjust and outperform to make a play work on offense or defense. Some hate the phrase, but it's true, "it's hard to win in this league". Football is fun!

I was just going to bring this up. I had no idea when he was drafted if he was any good (not a big college fan) but DAMN there was a lot of hate from the posters.

Milano's window ends after the 49ers game. I don't expect him to be activated before that time. There are limited practices in the bye week, and I suspect OBD sees no need to rush him back. If he is activated for the 49ers, I don't expect him to play with the exception of injuries. Once he's activated, I don't expect him to start against the Rams but with any luck he can take snaps later in the game. My hope is he can play a decent amount against the Lions (especially in passing downs). The issue of the field should not affect him as his injuries were not of the knee/hamstring/Achilles types. His broken leg is fully healed, and a pec injury is not a "field" worry. After that, the final 3 NE/NYJ/NE games give him all the time he needs to get to 100%.

Reid Ferguson has been the long snapper for the Bills since 2016. I'm not using snaps as an excuse for Bass's kicking issues BUT I have noticed that a large number of his snaps have been high and inside. Might be time for some camp competition next summer for both the kicker and long snapper.

Thanks @KCNCfor turning us on to this podcast! Love the beard!

Douglas couldn't develop Sam Darnold, drafted Zach Wilson and traded for Aaron Rodgers. Jets organization is a mess, but would anyone trust him to pick the next QB?

All kinds of scenarios left. Any "predictions" are mere guesses. Bills have a bye week to get healthier. Then they play the SF49ers at home. As Josh says, need to go 1-0 in that game.

It's a good question. It does affect the pick. How much I haven't a clue. https://russellstreetreport.com/salarycap/nfl-glossary/#:~:text=That sets the round in,games missed due to injury). Comp Picks are awarded at the ends of rounds 3 through 7. The formula for determining the value of those picks is somewhat of a mystery as only some parameters are contained in the league’s CBA, but it appears that the main criteria is the average yearly salary of the contract the UFA signed with his new team. That sets the round in which the Comp Pick is initially awarded. From there, the pick can go up or down a round based on performance, measured by post season awards or lack of playing time (including games missed due to injury).

The song ends up with him not letting both of them "take control" of his life with their actions. He opens his eyes about the reality of the girl, and he moves on. Dodging that dysfunctional relationship, he now looks at the "Mr. Brightside" of life.

Peyton, Eli and BB made the game interesting with their discussions. Jim Gaffigan is replacing BB for the 3rd quarter. Should be funny.

The least he can do for $60M per year.

Cowboys must suffer.

Mmmmmm, juicyfruit.
