  1. According to NFL 100 Tre is like the 8th best CB in the league, I disagree strongly
  2. 95 for White is an insult and complete BS. JC Jackson is 50 slots higher? Yeah...
  3. Tyree Jackson with 2 big catches in the Eagles' 2 minute offense. Good for him.
  4. Tyree Jackson with a 1st down catch.
  5. I've never seen people celebrate incompletions or someone changing protection as hard as this team on the mic.
  6. It's a good thing Brady left because jones would have taken his job from the sound of these announcers.
  7. I really don't have a problem with Gabe Davis as #2.
  8. Game is better than the show. It establishes it's world from the beginning and stick with it. You don't start off playing Catan and finish the last round playing checkers.
  9. Pretty surprised and a little disappointed to see Butler listed as 2nd string 1 tech DT with Harry 3rd on the official depth chart
  10. Game of Thrones Catan - highly recommended
  11. Both will be lower (higher number) than they should be because Buffalo still doesn't get the respect it deserves.
  12. Gave it a shot Offense - 24 QB LOCK - Allen, Trubisky BUBBLE - RB LOCK - Moss, Singletary, Brieda BUBBLE - Taiwan Jones, A Williams, Gilliam TE LOCK - Knox, Hollister BUBBLE - Sweeney WR LOCK - Diggs, Sanders, Beasley , Davis, McKenzie BUBBLE - Kumerow, Stevenson, Hodgins, Duke OT LOCK - Dawkins, D Williams, Brown BUBBLE - Doyle OG LOCK - Feliciano, Ford, Boettger BUBBLE - Lamp, Anderson C LOCK - Morse BUBBLE - Bates Defense - 25 DE LOCK - Hughes, Rousseau, Basham, Epenesa BUBBLE - Obada, Addison, D Johnson DT LOCK - Oliver, Harry, Star BUBBLE - Vernon Davis, Zimmer LB LOCK - Edmunds, Milano, Klein, Matakevich BUBBLE - T Adams, Andre Smith, T Dodson, Joe Giles-Harris CB LOCK - Tre, Wallace, Jackson, T Johnson BUBBLE - Wildgoose, Cam Lewis S LOCK - Poyer, Hyde, Neal, J Johnson BUBBLE - J Thomas, Hamlin ST LOCK - Bass, Haack, Ferguson
  13. 1 tech we have Harry and Star, 3-tech we have Oliver and someone else. I think it does play into the equation that both of the DEs we drafted and Efe Obada have spent significant time inside. Butler is big, but I have not been very impressed with him. Harry is pretty much the size of Zimmer, but Zimmer is probably a little more explosive. Want to figure out something tougher than picking DTs? How many DEs can we keep this year? Obada, Hughes, Addison, Epenesa, Rousseau, Basham, Darryl Johnson. At first blush you'd think Addison/Obada and Johnson. I dunno if it's that cut and dry.
  14. I understand this point, but if you think any question Brown is asking Beane hasn't been given to Brown by the PR guy I think you're hoping for more than that show is capable of. Back in the day when we were absolutely terrible, press conferences were vicious and then Brown would be called on and lob a ridiculous question like "how does it actually help the team that we're 4-10, does it take pressure off the guys so they can really get out there and develop?" He's not n investigative journalist, he's a team mouthpiece.
  15. I was going to add a comment agreeing with the OP and half way through I thought "what am I doing?" We're talking about a podcast that is the equivalent of cliffs notes in terms of depth. If you ran this past 90% of listeners they'd probably shrug and not care. For the 10% who would care, they already know what the show is and know other places they can get accurate informtion. I don't really consider this a huge deal or significant negligence on their part, the show is the Bills equivalent of E! If you want to see willful ignorance, we have national media guys like Stephen A Smith refering to Jordan Poyer, who is from Oregon, as Jordan "Po'yeh" as if he were some sort of secret cajun, while others make comments that the Bills were highly motivated to sign Josh because he was getting interest from other teams and was considering not re-signing (smh). Taking that level of "preparation" into account, the minutiae of capology isn't something I'm prepared to drag anyone for.
  16. Let him stay in NE, where he will avoid all physical contact on the field in an effort to preserve himself for his next team.
  17. Feel free to disagree, you said you didn't see how we'd do it. I offered the only plausible option for keeping him.
  18. You put these 2 on the practice squad.
  19. The league's overall policy has nothing to do with science but purports to. The NFL is concerned about optics and money. I would suggest that mandating a vaccine is still worthless if you have protocols in place that allow anyone to freely associate with other people outside the team, vaccinated or no. To suggest that everyone being vaccinated removes the risk of illness while allowing them to associate with other vaccinated people outside the team facility is willfully misleading. You cannot mandate a vaccine and not mandate restricted association with others. Science shows that vaccinated people are not immune and though afforded protection against the newer strains, still susceptible to getting and spreading the disease. The issue here is the inconsistent application of logic in league policy, not anyone's personal beliefs about vaccination vs non-vaccination. Please stay on topic.
  20. I feel like this has been poorly thought out by the NFL. You would think this is meant to forcefully "encourage" players to be vaccinated, but it's entirely possible that a team could have an outbreak amongst vaccinated players. I admit ignorance on the nuances of all the league's protocols, but from what I've read vaccinated players may leave the hotel when traveling to interact with vaccinated family members. Given that vaccination does not preclude infection, these guidelines seem to be contrary to the goal of minimizing chances of an outbreak. The guidelines, if followed by the players to the letter, actually increase the likelihood that a vaccinated player might be the cause of an outbreak by interacting with others outside of team facilities. I don't understand why they don't just make everyone stay in the hotel, it seems like the carrot/stick approach employed by the league is at odds with itself.
  21. That they had offered him a new deal was known. Highest paid but no actual numbers just sounds like a smokeshow - how much was guaranteed, highest paid yearly average or highest paid total? Just seems like more propaganda by the Packers terrible FO so when he retires or forces his way out of town that they did "everything possible, even offering him the 'highest paid' QB contract in the league." I wish the Packers would just trade Rodgers, that team has consistently done him wrong. Andy Dalton got a phone call when the Bears drafted a QB and he was just figuring out how to walk into the building, Aaron is an MVP and one of the best QBs ever and he didn't know they were trading up in the 1st to draft his supposed replacement. They trade away or cut his favorite WRs (Jordy Nelson, traded Kumerow like the day after Rodgers talked about being excited to play with him). If I'm Aaron I just go host Jeopardy til the team trades me or I show up the last week possible to get credit for the year and try and force my way out next year.
  22. I feel like we already knew this, Schefter seems to be grasping at straws to present this as new information. It's pretty clear that Aaron would like to not play in GB anymore because of the clownshows running the team
  23. Nice to hear but at this point Breida is more valuable as he has a much better chance of actually contributing on the field.
  24. Bell was a good runner whose strength was his vision and patience, he was never some dynamic gamechanger who could play behind any line. When he was playing well, a large part of his big plays could be attributed to the o-line that was opening huge holes for him. I said this the first time he was running around looking for a huge FA contract. His play behind a subpar line with the jets confirmed this. He wasn't fast enough to be able to afford to lose a step, well he's lost one now and I doubt he starts again in this league.
