But he played special teams earlier in the season and was pretty bad, especially in the first Rams game.

So it's ok for a team to be upset and cut him but not for me to be concerned if he ends up with a competitor? That's weak? Then it would be weak for SF to cut or suspend him in the first place without finding out what is going on. Sounds hypocritical for you to say that. It's a legitimate concern he would go to another team, not that he would actually be signed in the event he is cut or is that good of a player.

A fan on SF sports talk radio was worried that if he is cut, he'll sign with Detroit, who needs a LB...right in time for the Bills game. ☹️

LOL. Now he can!

On local sports radio in SF, they speculated it wasn't because he was moved to be a backup to Greenlaw, whom he knew in advance was returning from injury later this season, but because he was also put him behind Dee Winters, who was third-string. He had commented earlier in the year that he didn't want to be behind him. He suited up before the game only because he gets a roster bonus for each game he suits up for. They also said someone told him to head to the locker room in the 4th because things might have gotten ugly between him and the other players, but it wasn't Shanahan who told him to leave (e.g., see how Kittle was pissed). This whole topic was also being discussed here this morning on the other thread:

And it was raining, which limited the Rams' game.

You forgot SF. The talk on SF sports radio is Purdy is not the answer and he is irrelevant once again. He is nothing more than a good backup. They want to target Sam Darnold or possibly Kirk Cousins. Also, some are questioning if Kyle Shanahan is the answer since he can't win the big one. But others say it took Andy Reid 21 years to win a SB. Also: the Rams: from the highest scoring game in the NFL last week vs. Buffalo to the first game this NFL season with no TD's. They play to the level of their opponent.

No one wants to play them in the playoffs. The good thing is they are not getting in since they are a game behind Washington for the last spot and Washington has a much easier schedule.

To add: Do we need a linebacker!??! 😆

Yes: https://discover.sportsengineplay.com/article/football/nfls-american-bowl-germany "On this day, in 1993 the NFL's American Bowl was played at Olympiastadion in Berlin, the Minnesota Vikings defeated the Buffalo Bills August 7, 1993" "The Minnesota Vikings defeated the Buffalo Bills 20-6 in the American Bowl exhibition game at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin on Aug. 7, 1993. The more than 67,000 fans who attended the game were also treated to pop concerts, parachutists and fireworks at the event. It was the largest crowd to see a game in Berlin since the NFL began playing there in 1989. In his just second game as a Viking, Jim McMahon completed 7 of 9 passes, while teammate Charles Evans rushed for a game-high 78 yards en route to being named the game’s MVP. The Vikings built a 17-0 halftime lead over the defending AFC champion Bills by taking advantage of good field position and two turnovers" [That is why I put "regular season" in the title!]

If he goes to LA or SF, we better get a king's ransom in return, like five first-round picks (or we keep on franchise tagging him). Otherwise, he is enemy number one, like Juan Soto is to the Yankees.

This made me wonder: what would be good overseas locations for games a Bills fan would like to do a road trip for? Paris? London? Barcelona? Madrid? Rome? Beijing? Tokyo? Dublin? Berlin? Munich? Frankfurt? Sydney? Perth? Brisbane? Brussels? Antwerp? Lisbon? Cairo? Mexico City?

This is what @boyst said, via Google: "My German isn't perfect...but... NFL doesn't have to make expats happy"

This is what @Returntoglory said, via Google: "If the Bills get picked, I might have to fly across the pond to do it. I lived in Germany for 7 years."

Here is the translation of what @Returntoglory said, via Google: "Welcome to the NFL! There are a lot of expats living in Germany and England, so I think this is a good step." This is what @boyst said, via Google: "This is not good. Germany is not great, Berlin takes games FROM the USA."

Here is the translation of what @Sweats said, via Google: "You will do what I say....I command you!!! Cheers to the mighty NFL in Berlin, says Goodell"

Well, they did win against the Eagles in 1991 at Wembley Stadium in London, but in the other two in the UK, they lost both times to Jacksonville.

Yeah, the NFL wants money, but that is what Goodell is paid to do: make money for the owners. Also re your comment on the SB on PPV: the NFL would lose money because less people would see it This is what Google AI said: "The NFL is unlikely to make the Super Bowl a pay-per-view (PPV) event: Fan response A Harris Poll survey found that only 28% of NFL fans would be very likely to purchase a PPV Super Bowl. 68% of NFL fans said they would try to find a way to watch the game without paying. Impact on the NFL A PPV Super Bowl would likely lead to piracy and have a negative impact on the NFL. Free-to-air TV The Super Bowl is the most-watched live TV broadcast, and it's unlikely to be exclusively on a streaming service for the next 20 to 25 years"

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/42911093/nfl-play-regular-season-game-berlin-1st-2025 Excerpt: "The game will be played at the Olympic Stadium. It will be the fifth regular-season game played in Germany. The NFL has played games in Munich and Frankfurt since the 2022 season. From 1990 to 1994, the NFL played five American Bowl games at Olympic Stadium and the venue also was home to the Berlin Thunder of NFL Europe from 2003 to 2007. Beginning next season, the NFL can schedule up to eight international regular-season games per season. The NFL has already announced it will play two games at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London and one game in Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium."

What about Week 14 2024 Detroit 34-Green Bay 31. One of the best.

Well, I agree he is the best Bills player, but not necessarily "hands down". You have to include Bruce and OJ in the conversation.

Of course, you are correct. I am not sure what I was thinking. Thanks fof the quick correction!

And in 1993-94, we beat Dallas early in Week 2 (without Emmitt Smith, due to a holdout), and then lost to them in the SB.

Triple laughing out loud on this post! (Don't tell the OP we have the same weather, or worse, than NE.)

@Mikie2times I checked rhe play-by-play. Allen drove from the Bills 25 to the Detroit 27 in three plays in 9 seconds for a Bass 45-yard FG: https://www.espn.com/nfl/playbyplay/_/gameId/401437857
