Since Poyer got his mind right, him and Hyde have sort of switched roles, impact-wise. I've always loved Micah's game but he looked like he lost half a step last year; his role in this defense is more dependent on getting help from up front so hopefully that step back was partially a result of an ineffective front. If Oliver and an upgraded DE rotation can start doing more to move QBs around, maybe Hyde's uncanny nose for the ball starts coming back to the fore. We're not likely to see a whole lot of playmaking from the corners so it would be nice if we had the best safety tandem in the NFL.

I'm really terrible with this stuff so take this with a truckload of road salt, but I think they were about 9mil under the cap before and are about 6 mil under now?

This is not accurate. I received everything for free last year without asking and it appears as if the same thing is going on this year with multiple customers.

Simon the mod: It's probably my job to close this thread Simon the Billsfan: I think I'll hang out for a few minutes and watch this guy get eviscerated.....

Those are exactly the two names I have in mind when I say I'm ready to see Addison move on.

I don't think he can play OT in this league. Smart kid but I don't see the feet to be able to move with NFL DEs.

I'll take that whole pie in the 4th qrtr of a tight game, but he doesn't need to be leading Diggs into trouble in the first half of a game where we're dominating somebody. Diggs is tougher than hell but we are going to end up losing him if Josh isn't a little bit more conscientious about protecting him when discretion should take precedence over valor.

I'm almost to the point where I hope they just bite the bullet and cut him loose. They're ready to make a title run and at this point, he's just a passenger at best. I'd hate to lose a good young End because they felt obligated to keep an underperforming vet for cap reasons.

Also floated hospital ball on run to Diggs. This is one area I would really like to see Allen improve on. Diggs is not always going to protect himself so there are going to be times where Josh needs to do it for him.

Yes

I agree with everything you're saying but I think Osaka is a bad comparison. She was always ready for competition but she's just a quiet introvert who didn't want to be harangued by a bunch of knuckleheads after every time she played. She just wanted to kick asses and then go her own way; I can respect that. This might sound stupid but the first comparison that popped in my head when Biles quit was Thurman Thomas bailing on his team in the middle of a Super Bowl because he didn't like how things were going.

Does the woke nonsense and the racial crap really need to be everywhere, every day? Take that garbage to twitter and give the mods a f'ing break with it. As for Biles, I'd encourage her to finish out her individual competition in Tokyo. Beyond that she would never again be a member of any team competition that I had a part of building. Blaming your inability to handle competitive pressure on "mental health" is weak and an insult to those who are actually dealing with real mental health issues.

I've reached the point where I'll buy a tub of crumbled blue cheese, pour a bunch in a bowl and then mix it up with something like Ken's Chunky Blue Cheese dressing.

That was so horrifically bad I can't tell if you're trolling.

Agreed that he can absolutely shred the zones that the Bills offense is going to predominantly see all year. One other aspect of his game that should not go unmentioned; he spent his first couple years in the league in a room with Hines Ward. The man will block and will enjoy the hell out of it.

If you want to gossip over Twitter nonsense about Covid, please feel free to use Twitter for that. Starting multiple threads on it in a place we're working hard to keep free of it is not helpful.

Just a reminder to please keep this thread on topic and limited to commentary about NFL Covid protocols

Just a heads up that I have tossed no less than 5 different posters in the last 15 minutes. Keep it on topic or feel free to follow them out the door.

Actually, if he was 8 years younger you'd instead be whining about how he was just a product of the Steelers offense and trying to find some other reasons to moan about why he'd never be any good here.

Now you're tryin' to light your roach while you're drivin' down the street (Two hits and the joint turned brown) But it's too small to smoke and it's too big to eat (Two hits and the joint turned brown)

I'm afraid of three things in this life: 1) Brown bears 2) Bees 3) Ghosts

If it keeps them quiet, there's no fine for giving those kids as much vodka and Cherry Coke as they can handle.

Great band that never got their due. The first two albums (self-titled and Blind Man's Hill) are masterpieces. If you like the genre, go buy both immediately.
