The Jets D did a great job, but Diggs still had 10 catches. I also think a lot of the plays where it seemed like another receiver was wide open wasn't really. There was usually a Jets defender keyed on the underneath and intermediate receive and ready to trigger to make it a contested catch or immediate tackle as soon as the ball was grown. I do want to watch the All 22 and see how many truly open receivers he missed. Have you checked it out?

No doubt the 2-3 terrible throws into double coverage and the panic double fumble lost the game. I haven't watched the All 22, but I'm not certain how open players other than Diggs were all game. To me it seemed like there were a lot of lazy routes from guys that didn't seem to think they were getting the ball.

He's going to play better this week because the Raiders don't have as good of LB's, CB's and Safeties as the Jets. The most the Bills could have scored last week was 16-19 points, even if Allen doesn't make any of the hero ball throws.

The Jets D is Josh's kryptonite. And there's only a few teams that can play that way. And I think one of the reasons that defense is so effective is bc he's lacking weapons to get open against it outside of Diggs. I like Kincaid. I was really hoping for Jordan Addison when he was still on the board at 23. I think that's the kind of route runner that he had when Bease was still at the top of his game that he needs to be able to overcome the best defenses in the league.

I think Kincaid is going to grow a lot through the season, and my hope is that he can become a legit #2 target. But I'm not expecting it. You're right, and few teams will be able to cover like the Jets while generating a tough pass rush. I'm just saying I didn't see anything from Harty, Sherfield or anyone else not named Diggs that inspired a ton of hope. I do think the plan is to use Cook a ton, and I think the Jets D is also one of the toughest to run on. I'm also hoping that Cook can be a legit #3 target in the pass game.

I really wanted Beane to find a way to sign Jacobi Meyers this off season. The offense is really missing that always open guy that catches everything thrown at him who knows how to exploit zone. We're all hoping Kincaid becomes that. But the early returns on the new receivers are not looking great.

Waste of time talking to you.

Because the suit has no merit, and the intention is to try it in the court of public opinion by making outlandish claims?

You seem to be leaving out the possibility that the reporter in question lied or exaggerated the statements during the 2020 zoom call where Trotter heard the allegations, but told the truth during the investigation. As well as the possibility that Trotter made up the Zoom call incident all together... Where is the "unanimous source" to verify? Or is Trotter "protecting" them for fear of NFL retribution, so we'll all just have to take Trotter's word that it really happened the way his source said it did?

So how do you know the reporter wasn't interviewed by the NFL in the investigation?

He demanded they investigate in 2020. Over an alleged verbal remark from 2018. Let's do some basic math here. That would be like you walking into HR today, in 2023, and demand that they investigate offensive remarks that Bob told you he heard Jim say two years ago, in 2021. So if the reporter wasn't at the dinner how could he possibly have heard Terry make the remarks?

The law suit does not say the reporter who made the claims wasn't interviewed. It says Trotter wasn't interviewed. Which has no baring on the case, because he only heard of it second hand two years after it supposedly happened. But the ***** issue is that Trotter's law suit states as fact that Pegula made those statements, which he has no way of knowing is true. So you want to have your lawsuit laughed out of court? Build it on hear say and innuendo posing as fact.

Trotter is basing his allegations on someone else who may be lying or misremembering. And he has no way of knowing for sure.

No, Trotter asked the NFL to investigate 3 years ago, in 2020. The alleged remarks occured 5 years ago, in 2018. So to be clear, in 2020 Trotter heard a reporter claim that Terry said those things two years earlier, in 2018. Again, imagine walking into your HR office today, in 2023, and demanding that they investigate an executive at your company because one of your co-workers told you they said something racist in 2021. And then every week for months demanding to know what punishment was administered.

Imagine if the Bills had taken AJ Brown instead of Cody Ford and paired him with Justin Jefferson? ☹️

On 3rd & 5.

Wow, so Trotter was demanding that the NFL investigate something he heard second hand two years after it allegedly happened? Can you imagine waking into your boss's office, or the HR office and saying "I heard from Bob that two years ago John said something that I find highly offense. You must investigate, and if you don't interview me for proof that it happened that means you're complicit!" The law suit also says that Trotter immediately demanded action be taken, and that he demanded action every week for months. So Trotter personally convicted Pegula, two years after the fact, based the word of a third party. And then demanded a punishment be dished out every week.

I was looking at him as a possible Edmunds replacement. Thought he'd go in 4 or 5.

I thought he was interesting.

Here's the question I have, how much oxy was Rodgers on to express zero pain and stand up to try to walk off his ruptured Achilles? Or am I missing something?

I think there's some truth to that. But also in Allen's best season the talent was much better. Diggs, Beasley's best season as a pro, a still competent Jon Brown, then Davis, Knox and McKenzie. Not to mention one of D Williams best seasons at RT. In fact, that was the one season in Allen's career that he had average or above average play at RT... So I think it's a talent issue as much as a fundamentals issue. Honestly, in the pre-game show they had a close up of Allen taking a shotgun snap, his eyes weren't looking at the ball at all. He was staring down field and caught the ball with his peripheral vision. I said to myself, that's going to cost him... and it literally did, he didn't look the ball all the way in on the fumble play. He peaked at Cook who he was going to ha d it off too before he had it secured. He was panicked and his mind was racing faster than his body, and certainly too fast to actually be aware of the situation.

It's been said serval dozen times, Trotter's law suit reads like a statement of fact. But then the fine print actually says that 40 people heard it on a Zoom call from another reporter... on a Zoom call that Pegula was never on... So Trotter never heard Terry say anything, and is claiming that because the NFL never interviewed him about what he never heard Terry say that it is somehow proof that the NFL is protecting racist owners. I'm imagining how Trotter thinks that interview should have gone. NFL: Mr. Trotter, on the night in question what time did you arrive to dinner with Mr. Pegula Trotter: I've never had dinner with Mr. Pegula NFL: So you weren't in the room when the remarks you say Mr. Pegula uttered were supposedly made? Trotter: why does that matter? He's racist. NFL: How do you know that? Trotter: because he said racist remarks at a dinner. NFL: how could you know that, you weren't at the dinner? Trotter: because he's racist. NFL: And how do you know that? Trotter: because he made racist remarks at dinner... NFL: the dinner you were never at. Got it, I think we are done here. Trotter: so you're just sweeping this under the rug huh? See, I told you you were all racist!

Who is the "unnamed" reporter that claims to have heard it first hand, and why are they afraid to speak up and demand Terry be held accountable? Sounds like a classic case of bull ***** to me. Actually can't tell if it's more chicken ***** than it is bull *****.

So the league saying it was investigated, found nothing, but will look again is a contradiction? Sounds like a narrative someone made up for clicks.
