Low Positive

Don't say that too loudly, because the TBD two-man Ken Dorsey Defense Force will come after you. One guy defends him so hard that I think that it may be Ken himself. To be fair, I think that Ken got a bit of a raw deal in Buffalo. He'll learn from his mistakes and he'll be better the next time he gets to call plays.

Zach Wilson doesn't beat us. Salah's defense does. He admitted after that week 1 win (by the Jets) that he knew the plays that Dorsey called before the ball was snapped. If you think back on those Jets losses. they all involved multiple turnovers by the Bills as well as stalled drives. Salah may be a bit of a meathead and a bad HC, but he is a great defensive mind.

I just watched the video of Joe Douglas announcing this. Is Joe Douglas and Brian Daboll the same guy?

It was a protest vote in KC. They were promised locker room upgrades that never happened.

Yep.

Teams keep signing him to the PS, looking at him for a few weeks, and then cutting him. The last were the Vikings at the end of last season. One would hope that this experience has been humbling for him, because lord knows he needed it.

They would throw him a anchor, but he's probably drop it.

I hadn't thought of that, but now that I have what I want is almost that. Wilson to the Giants and leading them to the SB only to face the Bills. In the SB, Zach turns back into a pumpkin and throws three pick-sixes. Bills win and both Jets and Giants fans cry.

We can laugh, but I want Zach Wilson and Mac Jones to turn into productive NFL QBs. That would be torture for Jets and Pats fans and I'm here for that.

I didn't know that but that would be why. These things are like student evaluations of college classes/professors. Sometimes they have legitimate complaints, but most of the time they are complaining because the class was challenging and/or they don't expect a good grade.

I like the Dobbins idea. He's just had bad luck injuries, but they have all been to his right leg. He should be ready to come back by TC, but the medical exam would be key.

The Bengals will pick OL. They have to.

My guess is that the travel grades were skewed by the London game.

One thing to note is that the disclaimer at the bottom notes that the survey was in the field from August 26th to November 16th. So all those positive responses from Miami came before the December collapse when they were boat racing teams. The B- about Stefansky came before the Joe Flacco-led surge. But also interesting is that McDermott's "A" came BEFORE the Dunne article. I guess he never lost the locker room.

I went and looked her up on Insta. She Thicc.

I don't know. Losing the Stanley Cup on home ice in triple OT on a goal that shouldn't have counted when the Sabres hit one off the crossbar in the 2nd OT was pretty hard too.

And to think RB was the most important player on the team just a decade ago.

He probably thought that he had an autopay set up and didn't. That happened to me more than once.

They cannot and do not manipulate the cap because Mike Brown doesn't have the cash on hand to do that. They are a cash-to-the-cap team that has their own internal salary cap which remains the same as the NFL's cap keeps going up. My prediction is that they will play this year with over 20 million in available cap space. The Bengals are, from a financial standpoint, the drought-era BIlls who happened to hit on a QB and WR combo in the draft.

@GunnerBillis trying to tell you all something and you're not listening. It doesn't matter how much cap space the Bengals have. They always have a lot of cap space. The issue here in Cincinnati is cash. Mike Brown's only valuable asset is a small-market NFL team. Most NFL owners, in an attempt to win, are kicking in some of their own money to help pay player bonuses to circumvent the cap. Mike Brown doesn't have that kind of cash on hand. The Bengals went into the year as a contending team and they played with 10 million in cap space. So, this being the case, tagging Higgins is a pretty dumb move that was made to appease Joe Burrow and the fans. This will backfire this year because it will further weaken an already bad defense. I know people here think that the Bengals have a good defense (and DC) because for some reason they have our number. But they had one of the worst defenses in the NFL last year (Ranked 31 out of 32 in total defense). They went from 3rd in points allowed in 2022 to 22nd in 2023. That was because they lost both safeties in FA. They very much had the cap space to sign all-pro Jessie Bates, but they didn't. Why? BECAUSE MIKE BROWN DOESN'T HAVE THE MONEY TO EVEN SPEND TO THE CAP. This year, DJ Reeder is a FA and they'll lose him even though they have the space (but not the money) to sign him and he wants to stay. They also spent too much of their limited cash on Orlando Brown, but that's another story.

10 pages in 6 hours about a punter. We need some news.

He was an older rookie. He redshirted and then played all 4 years at OSU.

And it's worse than that. The two best QBs in the XFL last season (AJ McCarron and Ben DiNucci) both got signed to NFL practice squads and are therefore not playing in the UFL this season. So, in a world with a dearth of QB talent, you have the 64 guys that are on NFL 53-man rosters along with the 32 guys on PS. The best QB in the UFL will be the 96th-best guy in the world. BTW, the San Antonio Brahmas have Joe Flacco's little brother as their QB.

I used to like the sitcom Grounded for Life a lot. It did run for 5 seasons, but then it just seemed to disappear.

This would be a pretty big challenge. He's already had Darnold and Mike White. He could sign Josh Rosen tomorrow if he wanted. Besides the heavy lift of getting Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson, he would have to get Kyle Lauetta, Luke Falk, and Tanner Lee out of retirement. Then there is Danny Etling, who is in the UFL, and Alex McGough and Logan Whiteside who are on the Packers' and Falcons' practice squads, respectively. That leaves good 'ole Mason Rudolph.
