Imo, the only way the football (XFL etc) minor leagues stay viable long term is if they become farm teams for the NFL, otherwise they will go broke and disappear like they always do. The NFL should just turn the existing teams practice squads into junior varsity development for each team with no poaching, but allowing trades between the teams practice squads at any time during the season.

Ralph is / was cheap…

Likely true, the guy has been passed over For what seems to be forever, he may know football, but he likely sucks at people management, what Shady describes is probably just part of his inability to conduct himself in a acceptable manor, some people just don’t have certain capacities, we have all had experiences with folk like this, kinda not news as it were…,

Beer drinking, and wing eating contest,

We’re doomed, as well as concerned, some of us are out right worried, and drinking far to much, 😂

Did all their guys pitch in and buy him some size and strength, with a heaping helping of velocity? Asking for a friend…,

So what are you gonna hold against her?

According to my British slang reference, “Thick” means stupid, just sayin…, Do it!!!

Look up the definition of the word ’”Voluntary” …,

Voluntary, Optional, Not required, or do we have to make it simpler for you?

Is that beer 🍺

Hence the smile and thumbs up 😁👍

“Concerns” can be had for every position group, be it backups to cover for injury or potentially poor play, etc etc, these “concerns” are the same for every team, one can pick and choose a player at any position and come up with pros and cons on them, Bates is a common target, he plays well the majority of the time when he has had the opportunity, some here think he is little better than a jag, even though he has proved otherwise repeatedly, Much of these “concerns” are not more than hyperbole in many cases, we see it expressed (the concerns) throughout out the season on any number of players.. There is damn little to be done about personal acquisitions from now through the season, its time to get comfortable with the players we have, because there’s not going to be a lot of changes forthcoming…, mid to bottom of the roster guys is likely all we will see moving around. Go Bills!!!

Which played games, earlier or later in the season? Or are we just picking the ones that suit our arguments 😁👍

You’re correct, When compared to all the other O lines, is the part those that are constantly bemoaning our O line don’t appear to take into consideration, that and the league as a whole has had a bit of a dearth of average to above average O line guys for a long time, it’s a league wide problem, stemming from lack of development in the college ranks, good ones aren’t growing on trees, and teams that have two or three good starters aren’t letting them go if they can help it, making the argument in a vacuum is not particularly useful, and as you stated, the big picture needs to be included in the analysis, Go Bills!!!

Gonna miss your posts, but fully understand your thoughts, Go Bills!!!

He evidently feels having “his attitude”is the lynchpin, even though he was warming the bench along with his superior physicality, bet they kept good company with each other…, kinda funny when a guy who got out played by his competition and teammates musters up such words…

That doesn’t make it a “trap game” it makes it an out hustled and out coached game.

Evidently,

I’d call that playing like poop,

Sometimes good teams play like poop, and get beat by not so good teams, it happens, any given Sunday as is said.

Imo, trap games exist more for fans, not so much for the teams/players, it’s a cliché thing mostly, something for TV talk show guys and gals to pontificate on, kinda like the “looking past” a team saying, just saying…, 👍

From what I just read on the news portion of this site we are at 8.2 million of cap space,

There are “some” here who will always believe Beane is an awful GM and can’t assemble a quality O-line or D-line, or RBs room, etc etc etc, it’s like a running joke when they post, 😁👍

Tom Tom has always been a douche, this is just another example of him being the she dog he is. A walking character flaw is the best description of him, the guy who cheated at his life’s work and has been caught doing so more times than any player in NFL history…,
