@hondo in seattle, I owe you an apology too. I meant no disrespect to your heritage. Just so you know, my people are often times the butt end of jokes too. My family came to this country in 1954 after enduring 2 wars. My paternal grandfather led the resistance against imperialistic occupiers until he was captured and died in a prison camp of ulcers... he was given water but no food. During the time my grandfather was underground trying to organize the resistance, his wife, my grandmother was interrogated and tortured by the occupiers, trying to find out my grandfather's whereabouts. After the torture interrogation my grandmother said to the interrogators "you might as well kill me but I will never give away my husband... is your wife as strong as me?" My people's country didn't win many wars but they were brave and courageous like many people. Again, no offense intended.

I give up.

Reminds me of the old joke, "Why is the Champs Elysees lined by large oak trees?

Yeah I wasn't clear on that... my bad actually.

Okay.

Some still insist it’s a moon, don’t they?

So Davante Adams should be good with people throwing snowballs at him? Also, it's weird that you would use his quote as fodder for a nonsensical debate.

As a buddy of mine noted, it looks like the Atlanta Falcons:

Super helpful post but as you know many/most of the straight billed caps are “structured” with the two front panels really high and stiff. Curving the bill is only part of the problem. Got it!

Happy Birthday Marv!!! You are an exceptionally good and decent person and I’m glad you’ve touched my life. To many more!!!

Mmmmmmm…. Boilermakers… Details are unimportant.

Check back with me when the dust settles on their careers but right now I wouldn’t change a thing.

Great post regarding Diggs and Aiyuk. To your concerns, the Bills used their first pick in the last 2 drafts on receivers for Josh. And… … not to mention the signings of Curtis Samuel, Mack Hollins, Zach Davidson, and the continued development of Shavers. Whether these moves work out, the Bills were aggressive in revamping the room. Expectations outside the building are lower than they’ve been in the last few seasons but I’m pretty sure the Bills are not lowering their goals. I’m certainly not either.

Wow. That’s a lot of Michigan hate right there. I won’t get into Michigan as a state but as a school, Michigan in EVERY measure is one of the great universities in America.

Got it. Thanks. 😄

I think Von is gonna be saved for obvious passing situations. It seems like there's little value in starting him, especially on run downs. Ray Davis had 8 fumbles in 840 touches (carries + receptions) in college. That's 1 fumble every 105 touches. That's very low. Of those 8 fumbles 3 were recovered by the other team. Almost every NFL Head Coach is averse to starting a player until they TRUST that player. Trust has to be earned.

I just don't trust those... gonna stick with my videocassette recorder... Beta beats VHS for sure. All of the recent changes in kickoff rules over the years (no running start by coverage team, restrictions on number of people in a wedge, etc) were made to make kickoffs safer because there was an incommensurate amount of injuries on kickoffs. It doesn't look that much safer to me. There were a few big collisions that I saw in that small sample size. The returners are particularly still at risk. The consensus opinion is that the teams are gonna keep the trick plays under wraps until they're needed.

Yes Josh is a close 2nd to Mahomes IMO. It doesn't invalidate the consensus that Mahomes has been a better QB than Josh up till now but I believe that many people would be surprised if you polled Bills fans about which QB they'd rather have. I'd rather have Josh and I'm guessing that I'm far from alone as far as fan voting goes. Yes I'd love to have Jefferson over Diggs but that's a separate discussion.
