Either way to me is a good thing. If he walks who are they replacing him with, likely will be another Andy Dalton type as they are much easier to find than an Allen or Mahomes, or even to do as well as to find another Tua they'd be lucky. Was it 5 or 6 QB's drafted in the 1st round. What's the over/under on the number of them who'll earn a 2nd contract with the team that drafted them?

But you didn't plan for the 17th game, will be NFC west, likely SF at Buffalo

That likely would make for a tougher round. If the traps were green, then likely I'd never find one.

With a handle like Stinky Finger, you should be washing balls! Haven't played Byrncliff in about 30 years. The one thing I remember is not a bit of sand anywhere, but water on just about every hole in some fashion, may just be a little creek running across fairway, or a large pond.

Interesting that they signed this guy the same day an article came out saying Hyde will sign only with Buffalo or retire! They could do that at least for training camp, see how he compares to the others, if not good then cut him. He's be a help for those 6 weeks or so.

4:05 games are local only for the most part. That week the nationally broadcast game will be on the other network starting at 4:25. A handful of other cities will pickup the 4:05 game, mainly ones in the home and away cities of teams with 1:00 starts

Ok so that may explain what happened.

Long term, agree with cause problems. But if Rodgers can stay healthy and puts one great season together, you never know??

Haven't seen/read the TV schedule, is it on ESPN, NFL network, time??

Last few seasons the overall CAP number has always been higher than projected a year out. So taking that into account, plus a couple of surprise cuts or maybe not a surprise based on how they play in 2024 season plus restructures, overall will end up with considerably more space than projected now.

No but did have some issues on BN site

It is called Sunday Ticket, not Thursday Night or Saturday Night Ticket. These other networks paid a lot more money for those packages. I'm sure YTTV could have also bid and got those games too if they really wanted, but instead of paying $289 to renew, it may have been $389! I did renew yesterday. With DTV could always expect a better deal by waiting, not sure that is as likely to happen with YTTV, don't believe that happened last year either. Maybe they realize, once they do that everyone will wait and many never sign up. By sticking with one price, it shows people there's no reason to wait. Will see??

So Beane tends to pick Davis's in the 4th round. And if not a Davis at least a common name like Johnson. No Ulofoshio's in the 4th, ever!

Was reading an article today and came across this quote: XXX is known for having a boisterous personality at times, and his past teams have largely accepted it when he has been a successful face of their franchise. But historically, as team success starts to wear off, so does teams’ patience for some of XXX ’s idiosyncrasies. This was actually about Jimmy Butler of the Heat, but could easily substitute Diggs name here and tell the same story. Having said that would still vote for Diggs being best #14, but not heartbroken that he's gone.

No but the fact that they didn't take Worthy and let the Chiefs have him kind of tells me they didn't want him. and if they traded down to 32, kind of tells me they viewed the other 3 fairly close and even they didn't get their first choice of the 3, they were close enough in rankings that they'd take their 2nd or 3even 3rd choice in exchange for extra picks. But the question was how to stop the Chiefs from getting who they wanted which appears was Worthy, and maybe I missed that part how were the Bills supposed to prevent that other than drafting a guy they clearly didn't want?

Because they couldn't. Other than the Bills taking Worthy themselves, how could they have prevented KC from trading with someone else at 29 or 30. The Bills could have taken Coleman at 28, KC could have still got Worthy at 32 or maybe they'd have to have traded up. Either way the Bills got picks out of the deal and the player they wanted. As someone else also pointed out, if they traded back more than one slot, they may have come away with no one they wanted. For all we know the deal with NE may have only happened if Coleman had been selected prior and Bills weren't able to get who they wanted, otherwise can't see why they'd have gone back to 34.

The other thing to is if the hits leave a little soreness in his rib area or somewhere else, how will that translate to his speed? Likely take a couple tenths off to the point Coleman could beat him in a race. Also have to wonder how much training he put into the 40 time at the combine so he was primed for that as knew his best chance at getting drafted high was going to be based on his 40 time. Now in regular football mode, things are different. Before he pulled the hammy, could he have gone out there in their mini camp and run the same time, I'd bet not

With his speed I'm sure, he was able to get off the field real fast!

He's going to sign a contract at home plate during his upcoming softball game. Actually just read an article somewhere suggesting he will sign here after June 1st. The fact that he hasn't done anything tells me he hasn't ruled out coming back. Maybe waits until after mini camp?

OK and maybe I wasn't completely clear either in my original post. My point is a top QB like Allen can make what is considered a mediocre WR look like a Diggs or DHop. That's where teams can get themselves in trouble too, a WR on a team like Buffalo or KC is a FA and the Jets sign him with Zack Wilson at QB and are disappointed when he doesn't put up the same big numbers. Certainly a guy like Diggs is actually good, when he wants to be but not all.

There was an article I read about a week prior to the draft that basically said drafting two WR's particularly both high is not a smart thing to do. You end up with two players, neither of which is given enough time and TLC to develop. Rookies take more care than a vet does. If you push one ahead, then you end up 2 or 3 years from now not knowing if one of really has it or not. Taking it one step further, having 2 rookies on a team that is still going to be good and compete for the AFC east title doesn't help the team much either. Better off playing Shakir, Samuel, Coleman, and Kincaid and have a vet backup or two than a 2nd rookie who will struggle due to limited opportunities. You think Diggs or Hill could put up top 10 stats wit ha guy like say Zack Wilson or Mac Jones at QB? Think there'd be a pretty big drop off.

I think have a top QB like Allen can make a WR who isn't considered top 10 look like he's all Pro. For those reasons I'm not as worried about the WR group as many here. Recall what supposedly told Diggs when he first got here, just get open and catch the ball, I don't care about anything else. Can see that being the case this year again too. Now admittedly with a rookie , the knowing how to get open at the NFL level can be a bit tougher than he may think, may take some time whomever it was.

OK you're right, it does expire the 16th, I was thinking it expired on Tuesday the 14th. In that case no idea on the release. Kind of puzzling as to why they don't advertise the day way ahead to attract viewers unless the schedule is so complicated with last minute tweaks that they themselves don't know when it will be ready for release until only a few days prior??

I think it's going to be the 16th only because the deadline to get $100 off ST from YTTV expires on the 14th. Last year the Bills were on national TV in some form about 11 or 12 times out of 17. If I had known that was the case prior, I may not have bothered to order ST as could have found a way to watch the few other games and many others for many different teams could have done the same and not subscribed. For that reason I'm assuming the schedule will be after the 14th, on the 16th. Plus I think if it was the 9th, by now we'd have heard about it. OK just read Fox Sports states the 9th, but don't know if that's also just a guess on their part?

The odds of Tua making it through another full season without getting hurt are not in his favor IMO based on his history.
