Kyler Murray runs like a RC Car. There I said it, now you won’t be able to unsee it. You’re welcome!

I think they like Bates as a potentially RT option. Williams will be in the $8-$12M range on the open market. I don’t think he’s back, unfortunately. Awesome move by Beane and Williams has been great... my guess would be Beane just signed another Carolina O-lineman and crosses his fingers like he always does!

Yeah I saw this yesterday. It seems to me after looking at the information quickly that teams with winning records are in that “lucky” bin and teams with losing records are in that “unlucky” bin. There is very minimal crossover for a losing team winning more than they should and a winning team losing more than they should and in all of those instances it’s pretty close to being 0 difference. Which I find kind of odd... but it also supports the concept that teams in the NFL are all close in ability/talent and wins are hard to come by in the NFL... or something like that.

That’s the whole point. Thank you for summing it up for me. You don’t just look at a stat and it magically tells you exactly what’s going on and the impact of a player. That just simply doesn’t exist and absolutely never will... You have no idea where to actually look and what the responsibilities of a safety in this defense are. I’m going to bargain that’s more important than the counting statistics like PD and INT.. and when I say I’m gonna bargain I mean this is my line of work and you have absolutely zero idea what you’re typing.

Yes, because passes defended and INT tell the WHOLE story. PFF also has an unbelievable formula that isn’t subjective at all... If you don’t recognize that a player can still have a major impact for a multitude of reasons outside of PFF grades and INT... then well maybe you need a new hobby. And if you’re going off Hyde’s numbers his best season by far was his first year in Buffalo. 5 INT and 13 PD. Since then he hasn’t come close to that. He was never anywhere close to that in GB. But the details don’t matter, not one bit.

Anomalies get thrown out when the data set is big enough for the data to be thrown out. Anomalies don’t exist over a 16 game season, and the most definitely don’t exist over a 9 game sample size. They don’t get thrown out because they’re not anomalies.

I think they end up with Darnold. Ultimately they have a ton of cap space and all their picks this year... they can probably move up if they really want.

Does anyone else feeling like Henry is just a bunch of hype? It feels like every time I watch him he has 3-4 runs that go for like 13 yards and then most of the time he gets bottled up at the line... which idk how that guy gets bottled up as much as he does...

Larry Fitzgerald is so impressive. Holy cow. Talk about a professional.

I agree, I’m not the biggest fan of the media with athletes... but I’m not too bent out of shape about it. Players have specific media obligations they have to fulfill throughout the course of the season. I highly doubt he’s doing excess media work... this is probably just in line with what he’s required to do.

Cases are rising in WNY. Rumors are that schools are going to get shut down soon. If that’s the case, everything is going to start to shut down. Cuomo isn’t going to allow fans at games this entire year. Specific counties are in his yellow tier... it’s just not going to happen.

Beane sucks. He’s the reason they were #32... don’t ever give the man credit!!!! 🙄🤣

I wasn't alive for the Super Bowls... but I remember growing up my parents telling me about the exact scene you just described. Everyone chanting for Scott after he missed the FG. I didn't really understand the magnitude of that, but now I do. That story... that concept will always stick with me. I find it unbelievably powerful. I'm so glad you brought it up.

You and Hap are so right. The classy thing for them to do would have been to just get together as reporters beforehand... decide on 1 question related to the passing of his grandmother and have someone ask it for the group of reporters and get it out of the way. I know they have a job and Josh has a job to answer those questions... but stuff like this is intimate. I couldn’t imagine showing up at work and having to continue to answer questions about a deceased family member. It’s hard enough as it is... Josh isn’t the type to really deflect. He seems to be a genuinely good person... so much so that he will answer whatever someone asks him and do his best to be polite about it. He’s really a true professional, but in return the reporters should have made an attempt to steer the discussion away from his loss pretty early on.

I’m really impressed at how easily you make Diggs sound like JAG. You sir should write professionally.

It doesn’t work outside of the US and Canada. The hospital has put out their phone number a few times if you’re outside of those areas and want to donate they’re allowing calls. Hopefully this helps!

You’re definitely right. There’s a 0% chance Josh gets any type of MVP love this year. I just don’t see the voters doing it. Mahomes, Wilson and Rodgers will get the love. Not that it’s wrong or anything... Josh just won’t get that recognition even if he deserves it.

Never got to meet the owners... but enjoy the place. Better than average food and a good atmosphere, like you said. I frequented the one on North Cattlemen RD. but have been to the one on Tamiami Trail a few times as well. Love the area... never been over by Hillview... at least as far as I know. I’ll have to check it out next time I am back.

Lol. I've spent countless nights eating at Gecko's. Mostly because it's the ONLY place to eat right by the hotel I stay at for work. Decent little spot.

Yeah, I get what you mean. I think the use of the word love in the context of a coffee shop is vastly different when using it to describe your feelings for another person. Using that word in a locker room setting is difficult, it makes people vulnerable. These guys don't like being vulnerable... making them that way around each other is difficult... but once it is done... well you've seen the results first hand here in Buffalo. It can really create something special. I'm sure you remember when McDermott had them up infront of the entire team sharing their personal stories... that's not a little throw away thing. That stuff is raw emotion... pure vulnerability. It's just stuff we aren't privy to. Daboll's interview here is a good indicator of what it's like in that facility and how those guys behave around each other.

Pretty cool interview. The raw emotions and feelings are great, easily the single thing I love the most about this team. Everything is genuine. As much as everyone gives McDermott crap, he’s installed something like this. That word love has serious meaning there. He said in 2017 he was building the team, the culture, the organization on LOVE. Then you hear one of his top lieutenants preaching that in a candid interview. It’s not just lip service people. The behavior, the attitude, the people... they’re all an extension of what McDermott is putting in place. Don’t let his steady hand fool you... he’s not dumb... he knows EXACTLY what he is doing.

21 years old and emotional on stage during easily the biggest moment of his life. Came from what sounds like less than ideal circumstances. Did he handle himself like a model draft pick? No. Should he be made fun of for his behavior on an emotional day? No. People react to emotional moments in different ways. He didn’t do anything wrong.

If I had a dollar for every disrespectful troll on this board, I’d be rich. Point being, get a new schtick, you’re not the only one who can be rude and miserable. Plenty of others have it covered at this point.

I think it’s already pre-selected. You have to choose a larger amount. Just fill in your information and it should work!

Love it! Me too. The Zubaz button was a great touch... man, I’m so proud to be a Bills fan.
