Somebody needs to test the HC next—he looked awfully taken with those smelling salts and he hates to sleep—maybe mixing in a bath salt or 2? Just sayin’

Pass.

But didn’t she send that to the Raiders fans?

^^^^Definitely come here to try to escape from the daily political stuff—some days that’s easier to do than others . Hopefully we can all rally around GO BILLS!!!!!

You get a veteran rest day today.

^^^This. Don’t forget the Jets just came through an offseason of rank dysfunction, firing their GM right after they gave him the keys to the kingdom in running the draft and finishing up FA! Who does that and expects to be world beaters the same year? Their line is expected to be terrible, and their coach who apparently won a power struggle, never wanted the biggest FA splash that they got, in Bell. Why shouldn’t the Jets be on a “prove it” basis even more so than the Bills? They are the ones with a 1st yr HC who was just fired within the same division (how do those types of hires usually go, *cough* sexy Rexy) 1st yr GM and questions along their roster to boot. C’mon man! We should be considered favorites to sweep them imho, and be in a class of better teams above them.

Reports from camp this year were overwhelmingly positive for him comparatively speaking, IIRC, but yes, he failed to hold contain throughout much of the night against Carolina. I’m still not sure what to make of him honestly—I guess mostly I assume he’ll end up injured by Week 4 and be a non-story thereafter? Hope he proves us all wrong and has an all-pro renaissance season!

We’ve flogged this same article/author to death in another thread already, but it bears repeating—Allen can do everything right as requested since end of last season (work on short/medium passing attack, take what D gives you), and the national narrative becomes that’s proof he sucks even worse because we can’t trust preseason, whilst Murray (or whomever, fill in the blank) is given a mulligan for every failed pass attempt because, preseason. Got it!

Your list is not all bad. Totally agree with basically all of your NFC picks, including the Lions lowball. The wagon wheels come off with your AFC picks however. Won't go through them all, but the pink elephant in the room is your KC homerism on full display--KC has unanswered questions on the line (miss Morse this year too), a backfield question and the unknown of all of the off-field drama and its impact on team cohesion, etc. Also not sure how the Jets wind up with more wins than the Bills this year, objectively speaking. Yes, they have a rusty Bell and good Darnold, but their line is trash and their FO dysfunction will catch up to boot. A coach who relies on smelling salts to get his groove on and under-performed in Miami--I'm not expecting big things. Apart from the AFC West and East sections, I'm good with the rest of it though.

Does anything Entenmann's count?

Wonder if Rosen aka "Right" Josh washes out of the league after what is practically assured to be a disaster of another year for him? Fitzy on the other hand as we all know, will resurrect himself somewhere else next year as the journeyman whisperer that he is. SFO maybe after Jimmy G falls victim to the ex-Pats curse?

Even though "The Sign" is AOB's original and best overall album, imho, I do really like their cover of "Cruel Summer" too.

^^^^^Times a thousand! Great call Shady. Abba ain't so bad either in that department, lol. Haddaway

Why yes, yessir, it is!!

Just don't ever let this guy handle Morse's gameday equipment please!

Too bad he already missed the deadline for these April 2019 CFL West Coast tryouts! "Players are required to bring their own helmet & shoulder pads to participate." https://cfltryouts.com/

I agree--I feel like Kim & Terry are so invested with this regime right now and in lockstep with it, that McD would really have to wilt in the spotlight before there would be any rumblings beneath his seat.

Exactly--seems like the Bills are focusing on versatility/utility across the line, everyone (mostly) cross-trained to be able to jump in at a moment's notice and not miss too much of a beat in the process. Great for depth insurance during a long season! Who here honestly believes that the starting 5 in Game 1 will be unchanged with no injuries by the time we've locked up our first round bye? Especially Morse.

I have no doubt as to Oliver’s future success, but to anoint him as camp’s MVP? A stretch, imho.

Luckily, as I’ve been told elsewhere, preseason means nothing! Allen’s progress is a mirage, just like Murray’s struggles mean he’s actually better than Allen, and Jimmy G is well on his way to MVP!

Just to recap, Allen was preached at all season last year by the punditry to improve short/medium passing game, up completion % and “take what the defense gives” more than bombs away. Allen does exactly this since last year ended, including every preseason game thus far, and this “author” decides that is “proof” he’s a poser. Carry on. Also, I feel obliged to post the best use of “air quotes” in a monologue of all time, given my liberal use of them in this post... https://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/weekend-update-segment---chris-farley-as-bennett-brauer/n26999

Never want to take bread out of anyone’s hand, but doesn’t that phrase just have a nice ring to it? Like a symbolic cutting of ties to the unmitigated freight train disaster that was the OL/Center position last year?

Won’t answer the OP’s question unfortunately, but just had to LAMP a bit and say the tecmo franchise provided me with some of my fav childhood video game memories of all time—and yes, the Bills were basically unstoppable by physical means.
