Offside Number 76

Thanks very much. As a matter of practicality, it is, since state and municipal law enforcement are not pursuing it, and the feds aren't going to pull a guy over for having tinted windows. It goes back up to the above-quoted post; the NFL would never know about it absent independent testing, which I now understand takes place. I get your point, but it's a distinction without a difference in a situation like this.

Serious question (and please pardon me if it's addressed somewhere in the previous ~200 posts): Bradham has to deal with the league's personal conduct policy as a result of this. If he played for the Broncos or Seahawks (in states where marijuana is legal), would his possession of a personal-use quantity still be a violation of that policy? In other terms, does the NFL policy prohibit breaking the law, or does it prohibit possession of marijuana?

Awesome.

Not that I want to get into too much of a tangent, but the reason I was a ****ty keeper was because of my kicking game. I could save just about anything, but I couldn't get the ball upfield or to the right players with any distance. Defenders had to take my goal kicks and my punts were horrible. So much for that career option. Anyway, point is, I don't see any reason why one man couldn't do both jobs. I do understand that they are different kicks. And is Danny White that long ago?

Sell.

I'm not. Yes, he has to angle his punts, and yes, he wants to keep his goal kicks (which are taken without a tee) in bounds. No, he does not have to kick the ball through goal posts, but hundreds of pro-level goalies have that level of accuracy. To the other point, I'm not sure it matters whether the ball is pointed.

It's a valid question. Any soccer goalie can do both.

I love the fact that this thread is still active. I hope it never dies.

For how long must that pattern go on?

I think a lot of you are missing the big karmic picture here. Jeff Tuel went to Washington State. So did Drew Bledsoe. Bledsoe, of course, famously lost his job to Tom Brady. So, for karmic balance, Jeff Tuel must be the next Tom Brady. I can't believe I actually have to explain these things...

Former Bill Nick Barnett. He has such a positive outlook on things.

Was there another thread dedicated to the 2 minute drill as of 1040 am? Honest question.

This starting line isn't as good as last year's starting line, is what I meant.

EJ's two minute drill was behind a weaker line, and without CJ, FJ, and SJ.

This still is correct. Tuel's impressive performance against future practice squad players did nothing to change it. There's no way the team risks Tuel's departure by sending him to the PS, but there's also no way it cuts Kolb. Tuel will be the third QB while he learns, whether Manuel (my preference) or Kolb starts. In a couple of years, Tuel might be the Bills' version of Matt Cassel, whom they can trade for assets.

Disagreeing with a post is different than saying it's unnecessary and/or frivolous to have a discussion about something. But feel free to call me out anyway.

Of course not. If I don't want to read a thread about O-line play, I just won't read it.

I'm really going to enjoy these pictorial breakdowns all season. Thanks!

I can walk and chew gum at the same time...and posters who don't want to read about uniforms can stay out of obvious uni threads, right?

I think that's certain to happen in a few years.

I think more like 15.2%.

14 games on Thursday and Friday nights, all roughly at the same time, and nothing on Saturday afternoon? Nothing at all? Doesn't make sense to me; the league could have captured viewers Thursday night, Friday night, and today as well as tonight and tomorrow.

Throwing to 4 and 5 is exactly what we saw from the Bills for the last five years or so. Short of the marker, tackled, punt.

EJ should; Kolb will. Not sure why Tuel and Smith are choices.
