  1. I think that's a Cards/Rams game.
  2. It's just in TC, if one good guy wins a rep then that means that another good guy lost. It all depends on how you want to read it.
  3. That seems about right. I know that the money matters, but If you hit on a 6th round corner then that makes missing on a first-round one a little bit easier to accept.
  4. Here’s what I think happened. Diggs has thin skin. Eli Apple was taunting him all game, and he lost it. That happened very publicly. Instead of apologizing and making amends, he doubled and tripped down. The team gave him space to save face. He finally took that opportunity today.
  5. He’s actually worth more than that. These guys have a unique skill that only a few people on the planet posses and that skill happens to generate a lot of publicity and money for franchises. Player values are artificially deflated by the salary cap. With the combination of his contract and commercial agreements with the club, Ronaldo is making over 200 million per year in Saudi. Without the cap, that’s what NFL QB contracts would look like. What’s Mahones worth in an upcapped world?
  6. So then not “smartest,” but most negative. It’s an index of misery.
  7. Just goes to show that the "Patriot Way" of joyless football only works if the team is winning Superbowls.
  8. Look up thread
  9. They could have had them approved by the league and just not revealed them yet. That’s what Andre seems to be hinting at.
  10. The dislike of Lamar Jackson on this board seems personal. Is it because for his first two years he greatly outplayed Josh Allen, making us all defensive?
  11. At least the Bengals aren’t hypocrites. They just resigned Joe Mixon and Pac-man Jones is the co-host of Bengals Live. Mike Brown doesn’t care.
  12. I have always thought that Centers are at a disadvantage. In the case of Morse, he calls the protection and has to handle the snap (usually a shotgun snap) before he gets to engage as a blocker. The guy he's blocking just gets to pin his ears back.
  13. I live in Cincinnati. The locals were angry after that loss to the Browns on MNF. Joe Burrow was holding the ball forever and taking sacks. The line looked worse than in 2021. People wanted Zac Taylor fired for poor in-game management and bad play calling. Then they switched to the quick short passing game to mask the poor OL play after the bye week and they started rolling.
  14. If you scroll back a few pages, you’ll find Albright tweeting that the basis of this story was his idle speculation on a Broncos podcast. He admits that he has no source and was playing “what if.” Diggs’ contract is untradable. The Bills will have to make it work for the next two years. There is no other option.
  15. This place is currently populated by the type of fan who: 1) Posts on message boards: tends to skew older. The drought era left a reflexive negativity on our fandom. I mean for the better part of 20 years negative opinions were well founded. I turn 50 this year so I can understand that but for those who were adults in the 70s and 80s I would imagine that cuts even deeper. I remember the 2-14 80s, but I was a kid. Also, the Bills subreddit is a lot less negative than this place. 2) Posts on an NFL message board in mid June: We’re obsessed. I don’t live in WNY any longer, but I would have to imagine that the general fandom is much more positive than this place. I see it here in Cincinnati with the difference in tone between regular fans and the discussions on Jungle Noise. But the negativity on TBD is interesting. You see so much tempering of expectations in order to shield against future disappointment.
  16. Brady doesn't currently have an NFL contract so his pay is $0.
  17. Joe Burrow's contract negotiations are going to be very interesting. Mike Brown doesn't have enough cash on hand to put into escrow to pay both him and Chase long-term top-dollar deals. I think both will get shorter deals just to keep the escrow down.
  18. That was not an unreasonable opinion.
  19. Yeah. We’re the most negative fans of a good team in the world of sports. And that includes English soccer fans.
  20. I didn’t post them on here, but my draft night hot takes in 2018 are embarrassing in retrospect.
  21. I’m a dad of two great kids. My son is a current deans list college student at Miami University (OH) and my daughter is a rising HS senior getting mail from Harvard and Yale. I couldn’t be more proud. But my own dad is in the hospital right now fighting for his life. He’s been a Bills fan since the AFL days and could use some prayers and positivity from the Mafia right now. So Happy Father’s Day dad and please get better.
  22. I read that as “obvious Toupee.”
  23. Then the Bengals offense sucks. Joe Burrow, J'amar Chase and Tee Higgins got the ball with 2:00 left in a tie game and they punted. Everyone remembers the calls that went KC's way on their final drive, but they punted the ball back to Mahomes with 41 seconds left.
