So interesting I just got an email today from CBS advertising their All Access. It listed all the games CBS is broadcasting implying anyone who has All Access can watch all these games, was expecting to see some fine print at the bottom specifying not for out of market games, but nothing. It may be deemed legal in that they can't come and arrest you for subscribing, but I'm about 99% certain it's not legal for whomever is broadcasting the actual NFL games. The only possible work around, not sure how legal VPN spoofing is, though even there it may be legal to VPN spoof, but not legal to watch the content? And certainly not legal to re-broadcast the game as a result of spoofing.

Who cares? Bottom line is the Bills have an extremely deep D line so they don't need him this year. He'll likely by Murphy's replacement next season. 19 teams passed on him twice, the 12 one time, likely for a reason. Considering back in January, there was talk of the Bills picking him at #20, but at that time the odds were against him still being available that low.

Was thinking something like this too, maybe lineman all standing so make it hard to know who's actually rushing. But my one fear is with anything meant to confuse him the biggest plus for Fitz is he's a very smart QB

I think the NFL like many businesses in the country have done a very good job of having practices that keep people isolated as much as possible, for the NFL, having players eating lunch outside and in larger more spread out areas, larger meeting rooms, etc. Where most of the cases are coming from these days are there days are people living in rather unavoidable tight quarters, nursing homes, jails, etc. The other big area today are from people ignoring rules and not worrying at all about catching it so going to mass gatherings, mostly college kids and people under 35.

There certainly are multiple ways to accomplish the same thing!

Well the Athletic certainly doesn't agree with you!

Awful, OK fine, but maybe your memory is a little bad. The Bills WRs in 2018 were K Benjamin, Z Jones, Holmes, McCloud, and their star by seasons end was likely Foster with a TE of Clay and Croom who again by seasons end was the better of the two. So if the Bengal's cast was awful, what would you call the Bills?

Wouldn't help you this week as believe anyone needs to quarantine 48 hours before brought into the building. If he made the trade right now, add flight time, etc, he'd be lucky to make it to Buffalo by tend of day Friday.

Well that kind of sucks.

He also has a much better cast around him than Allen had as a rookie with a legit #1 receiver. The only somewhat of a star Allen had as a rookie was McCoy.

He's probably on a plane to LA right now as see the Chargers lost their starting center.

OK LOL Over the weekend saw and ad for the Masters and at the time was thinking, how are they going to broadcast the Masters and football but never connected the two when looking a 506. So apparently they are going to have a much earlier start and finish than normal for the Masters as in April it doesn't end till around 7:00. Then again by Nov 15th sunset is around 5:30 in Georgia anyway so guess a 7:00 finish wouldn't work too well anyway. Coincidentally the Bills do have one of the few late games on CBS that day. I'd imagine they are planning for maybe a 3:15 to 3:30 finish for the Masters as don't want to conflict with football afterwards I'm sure so will want to be certain it's complete by 4:00

I'm an out of town fan so looking to see which games I can just flip on the TV and watch and which ones I'll need to be more creative for so was looking at the entire season page. I wonder why on November 15th, there are no early CBS games at all? May be a mistake as there are six early games listed on Fox and three of them are with road AFC teams which traditionally would be a CBS game. If the Bills game against Denver gets moved to Saturday, the Bills will be on national TV the entire month of December.

Wow surprised out of close to 50 votes, I was the first person to select Knox. I don't in any way think he deserves it, but seeing how many threads there are here about replacing him, can't believe I was the first to pick him. While Ford is the runaway winner here, don't really think he deserves it either as was a rookie last season and did play very well in run blocking. Will be interesting to see if the move to guard becomes permanent. It's almost hard to find a whipping boy on this team.

I think he has the footwork down, what he doesn't have is having the footwork down consistently every play. The times he'd forget get less and less , but still maybe panics on occasion and forgets everything he's been taught and reverts back to bad habits. The more you practice it the more it becomes 2nd nature, but likely still not 100% there yet, getting closer though.

Rex will be coming to town to give him a foot massage. Or was it his wife that was doing that?

I was looking at a projection of draft positions, 4 of the top 6 picks were Cinnci, Giants, Miami, & Jax (Bills were 24th BTW) Jets who also have two picks were a little lower. Of those four, the only one for certain needing a new QB would be Jax. Carolina was also in the top six and think the other one was Washington who both could use a new QB though there may be some hope in Washington. Certainly Washington and Carolina would want to try and move up, but neither of them have 2 first round picks. Of the three teams with 2 first round picks, Jax, Jets, Miami; Jax may have the best chance of having the two best picks. Certainly alot can change in the order between now and Jan, but of this one mock I was looking at made me think Jax had the best chance to move up to #1 overall because they may have the two best picks and two of the teams ahead, Giants and Bengals likely wouldn't need to move up.

Team that is in pretty good shape for draft picks is Jax. They have their own, plus the Raiders. Jets have their own, plus Seattle. Likely the Raiders pick will be a better one than the Seattle pick. Assuming Jax only wins 2 to 3 games, likely would give them a top 5 pick if not better. Add in the Raiders and could get themselves up to #1. Not sure if they have anyone left worth trading that would net a fairly high pick, if so, should do it as would likely make them weaker so lose more. Three #1's or two 1st rounders and an extra 2nd could maybe get you to the top depending on how far you'd need to move. For Jax, not likely a huge move.

And whenever they got inside the 10 yard line last year they'd give it to Frank Gore, and a cloud of dust later, we'd be one yard closer! on a good day! Would be interesting to see overall how the team did in general inside he 10 to 15 yard line as seemed like even when passing, we struggled with scoring from in close. Granted, that's probably the toughest for all teams. But last year, the defense would know as soon as Gore walked onto the field, the handoff was going to him. Since the field is now shortened, a little easier to blitz too which Allen tended to struggle with. Having said all that, don't think the problem is the running backs, more maybe the O line and last season Frank Gore.

The concept is good, but think he may be seeing things that aren't really there and yanking it back too many times.

Of all the so called sports shows on, LeBatard's show is probably the least sports oriented of them all. He wants to have a 4 hour show of laughing and joking and showing everyone that most of us all take sports too seriously. So to that point it's easy to put a blooper reel of Josh Allen "highlights" together. They've been going down that path so easy to continue and face it he did and still did this past Sunday provide a fair amount off material for this point. They don't care about the good plays, partly as has been stated no one wants to be proven wrong and they really aren't a sports show to begin with. Interesting too how he's been cut down to only 2 hours.

Sorry I just don't handle dumb ideas well!

Why? What does it accomplish other than putting the team in much worse cap trouble next season? Since you seem to think this is a great idea, please tell us who all you plan to cut next season to pay for Ertz and all the other players that need to be re-signed like Milano, extensions to Edwards, and Allan for starters? The method to being successful in the NFL these days is to get good to decent play from rookies ion cheap contracts sprinkled in with high priced high skilled players. There's 3 or 4 threads already discussing whether the Bills will be able to afford Milano next year already and you're just trying to make it worse. Knox had think it was 2 catches on 3 targets I saw?? With the WR the Bills have it makes more sense to play 3 WR than 2 TE to start with. And even with whomever is at TE with the WR's the team has, how many targets is the TE actually going to see? Will be surprised if Knox's numbers this year are much better than last year mainly because he won't be targeted as much. Your logic is to sit or take focus away from a cheap rookie contract for potentially a small improvement. And lastly we really have no idea how good Knox may even be and by bringing in someone like Ertz, you're taking playing time away from Knox so we may never know. Take away last seasons drops from Knox and he had a hell of a rookie season considering how weak the overall offense still was. Stick to your day job!

Thought the kickers they worked out last week were all no names. Thought more of a Covid protection. The coaches saw many more kicks by both Haush and Bass than anyone in the media ever did. I'd imagine the competition may not have even been nearly as close as the media made it out be be based on the kicks they saw, may have been why they released Hausch as early as they did. Having said that my guess is Bass has a much longer rope with this coaching staff than fans will give him.

Ok so I did this the other night and for the test asked for pizza near me and it went to Buffalo. Tried it again now using a browser I had not opened since I did this experiment on Thursday, but now it's defaulting back to my actual location. I do recall the other night too about asking me to OK current location, today I didn't get that pop up asking me. So how do I reinitialize? Or is the problem while I didn't use that browser since Thursday, I have used other ones, so that reset it? And if so how do I un-reset it?
