  1. That's a pretty STIFF penalty! HARD to believe that's what they did.
  2. I'd have put the guy the K gun was named for Keith McKeller on the 53, maybe cut one lineman. How can you leave the legend of Kiko off the all time roster??
  3. Don't think I can edit the title of a post, if I could I'd change it to Kelly was tougher than Brady. That would be the one thing that's true, the rest is just wishful thinking or dreaming.
  4. Oh my God, he's being disrespectful. This really hurts my feeling, probably more even than he hurt your feelings! I may cry.
  5. with a link that long, it has to be a long story!
  6. I said it somewhat in jest, but I do believe the statement is somewhat true. My friend has used the same site for probably 4 years now with no issues, other than the very occasional buffering. But the quality of these sites has improved dramatically over the years that you can watch an entire game with no buffering, hang ups, or having to restart the stream. I will say the opener against Pitt may have some buffering as usually the first week of the season has some opening game jitters for the streamers too and Pitt or NY are very popular teams so more followers.
  7. For about $60 for the year, I have a "CBS AlI Access" subscription, actually now called Paramount, experimented with the VPN method last week and was able to access CBS buffalo station. Actually didn't even use an actual VPN program just changed my location within the browser software. There was a set of detailed instructions posted here last year on how to do that. Not that I'd ever do this myself, but according to a good friend of mine there illegal sites are actually pretty good, very little bufferings anymore, and pretty reliable. But you just need to know which are the good legit illegal sites to use.
  8. Considering he missed 6 games, 2 other games he combined for one reception, and not once he gained 100 yards, the answer is NO. Agree too with the "Speed is over rated " group. If they need speed then throw Stevenson out there, by week 4 he'll likely be back. Recall last year calculating the difference between Browns fastest 40 times and G Davis. On a 40 yard fly pattern the difference n speed equated to Brown being about 5 feet further down the field. For that 5 feet to matter though, the CB needs to not be able to keep up with him and more importantly the pass has to be perfectly thrown for him to catch it on a dead run. Think the biggest reason long passes aren't completed all that often is the throw isn't perfect.
  9. Has good content, sometimes the articles are little longer than I'd like. Just give me the Cliff notes version, but overall good stuff.
  10. Was just reading the article on BN about Beane's press conference and it quoted him some. He was talking about the injuries of the players So my question is what is the significance between a red or blue practice jersey? Does one mean you can hit him in the ding ***** and the other you can't?
  11. Agree the WR are going to gain more yards per catch than the TE would
  12. Yeah I think the intent of the rule was for the max 21 days part. It prevented a team to take a guy like Stevenson, placing him on IR, then after 3 weeks he comes back to practice, but the Bills just say, nope he's not ready yet, but we'll have him keep practicing with us all season. By next year he should be fine! LOL So after 21 days of practice they either bring him back to the 53 man roster or back to IR. What I don't know if they decide to send him back to IR is it now season ending or after missing another 3 active games, could they start another 21 day window? I'm sure at least one player in the league within that fist 21 day practice period did have a legit set back and needed more time to recover.
  13. You have to have 8 per league rules and if you dress less than 8 on game day, you lose an extra active spot. OR they kept 9, one over that amount. Beane and most teams always will always tell you that they draft the best player available. By doing that they ended up with two rookie tackles in the 3rd and 5th. Don't think they felt they could gamble on releasing Doyle and with two rookies they needed to keep Ike and Bates. Guess it came down to they felt Doyle was both better and more likely to get picked up by another team than Wildgoose. Do agree on the 6 LB part, but sounds like the extra LB will fill Bam Johnson's slot on ST
  14. I'd like to see them pick up someone to improve backup tackle and CB. To me those are the two spots we're somewhat weak at. Also TE, but don't think things are finalized there yet.
  15. Tough to get a holding penalty when you can't hold onto it.
  16. I wonder if it was his holding issues?
  17. Only a 3rd?? I was thinking a conditional one! Condition he leaves the country!
  18. Wasn't Stevenson a "head injury" possible concussion I assumed, so usually not out more than 2 to 3 weeks at most. And if he was still suffering from concussion after 3 weeks, then he might want to be thinking of a different profession.
  19. Can't argue with the top three, but Shannahan and McVay 4 and 5 Even if you don't like McD putting those two over Peyton.
  20. Based on comments made by Jerry Jones, doubt it unless he decides to get vaxed. Jones has maybe been the most outspoken owner pushing it.
  21. Can't argue with Bellichick, Payton, and Reid, but McVay?? What exactly has he done and is still doing? Other than changing QB's. Recall couple years back hearing on the radio about the genius of McVay and Peterson in Philly. That's worked well there!
  22. OK, will give you credit for clever name! Webb was given very little to work with against Green Bay. Even Chi game, he didn't get much PT except with scrubs in the game. 1st game against Lions Webb out-preformed. I think there's also a very good chance the Bills feel they know what they have in Webb so didn't even bother giving him any meaningful snaps past two games. Also may be they want him on their PS so don't give him anything to generate interest from other teams. With Fromm may have been they felt, give the kid a chance and showcase him to other teams, thanks him a bit for what he dealt with last season. On the other hand this will make for a rather boring Labor Day weekend.
