PetermansRedemption

Beane is really good at trading. Able to get a few picks for Teller who was probably going to be cut and Bodine who was hot garbage.

I was rooting for Peterman the entire preseason. Watched everyone of his games. Guy looks just like preseason Peterman has in the past, really good. We will see if Gruden can turn him into even a below average NFL back up. Gruden sees something in Peterman. One of my favorite quotes from hard knocks is “lets put Peterman in, I think he’s a better player than you guys” as he’s talking to his coaches in the head set.

Zay Jones

I would have liked to see more of this guy. Maybe they can use a PS spot on a kicker this year. Not too excited about the timing of Hauschka’s extension. He has not been anywhere close to the same kicker since getting leveled last season. Why not wait out a few games to see if he regains his consistency? No reason to rush into extending him, guy is a kicker, he wasn’t going anywhere.

Just in case anyone hasn’t noticed, the blackout is over. All your local Nexstar stations are back on DirecTV.

Nice elaboration. I’m a sucker for details.

I actually feel it will be Directv who pulls the plug on the TV deal before the NFL does. That’s a massive sum that Directv pays out and they are hemorrhaging subscribers.

Side note, but you would think by now a center would have came along who can long snap and regular snap. Would be nice if teams did not have to use a roster spot on that position.

Looks like he was transplanted straight out of a 1970’s porn film

Ryan Shazier is an extremely rare example that has happened a handful of times in the history of football. He was also under contract, not holding out. The true examples would be Earl Thomas and Le’Veon Bell. Thomas held out but ultimately caved and then got injured. Not just a small injury, a season ending injury. Guess what it cost him? Nothing. He still received his franchise tag salary and received a market value contract. He would have received the same contract regardless. Contrast that with Bell who held out and received less gtd money than Pitt was offering anyways. I would say it worked out better for the guy who didn’t hold out. If Clowney was that worried about it he can sign the tag, take his 15+ million and put some of it to an insurance policy through Lloyd’s of London. That way if he suffered the incredibly rare career ending injury on the tag his insurance would pick up the tab.

I hope Wade gets plenty of playing time tonight. Want to see this guy with more than two carries in a game.

Are you local Buffalo area? Last time I called they didn’t have the local channel connector. I’ll have to call back and have them send me one.

Out of the position battles of the pre-season, Duke Williams is my crush. He is the only guy I would be disappointed if he didn’t make the team. I would honestly rather see Zay Jones cut at this point.

I would be absolutely shocked this year if the Bills finished with 6 wins. Allen would have to play worse than he did last year for that to happen IMO. The schedule is favorable for the first time I can remember. Jets x2, Dolphins x2, Giants, Bengals, Redskins, Broncos, Ravens, Steelers. All games against teams that have serious question marks. It is not far fetched that Buffalo faces Fitzpatrick, Rosen, Jones, Dalton, Haskins, Flacco, Lamar Jackson and the corpse of Ben Rothlisberger.

Exactly where I am at. I voted for the 8-9 option to err on the side of caution.

I think you are massively overrating Clowney, and that is coming from a guy who is pretty high on him myself. I’m not sure there is a DE in the entire league that gives a team an extra couple of wins. Khalil Mack is the only one I could see making an argument for, and he probably gives a team an extra 2 wins MAX.

As long as they overpay in both compensation and contract, I am all for this move. Miami will be a tire fire with or without Clowney.

Same here. Not like he has a history of it. He’s proven to have great chemistry with Allen so far. One of my favorite off season additions. Everyone fumbles in their football career.

Bo-whor(bad word pronunciation)-Kez

I love Bojorquez in madden. I have him up to a 97 kick power. Accuracy be damned.

So I guess Bojorquez has won the punter competition ?

I don’t talk to anyone at DIRECTV anymore without saying “cancel service” is my reason for calling. Only way I’ve found to connect directly to an English speaking rep.

That first block is even more impressive because he was being illegally hit back. Easy call of illegal hands to the face on the cornerback.

This happens ALL THE TIME. People are told ST will be free, only to see it pop up on their bill. Just the worst company ever to deal with.

Correct. But he has to make it there first. You have to technically be cut from the active roster to do that. If another team comes along and offers him a spot on the active roster at that point I believe they would get him since active roster > practice squad.
