He was the definition of a high motor guy.

Don’t fret. McVay is so innovative, he’ll trade himself for 5 consecutive first rounders soon.

I think what we’ll see is a bunch of heavily front loaded extensions signed, even if they aren’t hitting free agency. Use up most of next year’s cap to allow wiggle room for when we need to sign Allen, which will likely happen in 2 years.

There’s a common thing amongst all these 1st round failures. The vast majority of these QBs were forced to start the year they were drafted. Apparently gone are the days where QBs are properly developed and mentored. These QBs pop their first year, then fizzle as they can’t reach the next level. Sure, some like Mahomes, if placed on a well-coached team, can do well. But, the reality these teams picked in the 1st round for a reason. Because they suck and are usually being coached by a first time HC. This is just the nature of the beast nowadays.

Fair enough, but I am. I routinely detect EBV infections, but probably the vast majority never make it into my clinic. For most, EBV just causes a cold-like illness. Of course the infection was already in his body, but that doesn’t mean he had a diagnosis of mono at that time. I’m just saying that it’s immaterial he had the infection in his body as he was asymptomatic. And, it’s disingenuous to say this infection has any effect on his performance that Sunday even if he would later develop mono. Now, of course it could eventually come out that he did have symptoms at the time that he ignored (like most do) or it wasn’t reported to the NFL, but we just don’t have that information. Otherwise, I’m glad he’s healthy now and it would’ve been reckless of him to play last week. I’m glad he was held out.

Not correct. About 90% of the population is seropositive for EBV. Yet, only a very small minority of EBV infected develop symptoms of mononucleosis. Therefore, the presence of EBV seroconversion certainly is not diagnostic. It is therefore a clinical diagnosis based on symptomatology. Or, in the absence of symptoms, you cannot be diagnosed with mono.

And just wait for Mahomes asks for $40M per year, which he’ll rightfully demand and will receive. No more money for a dominant defense then.

What’s a wham article? Title of thread is also nebulous.

True. I just went through the Pats film library and they have a whole section devoted to this.

This is a necessary part of the game, as long as it’s done responsibly.

Nice fluff written by the OP, and it was nice to read, but games are not won or loss by the “context” of a game. That is, it doesn’t matter which team was dominant that season or who the better team that day was. That stuff doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is the score at the end of a lawfully played regulation. In this case, the Bills did enough to win, as judged by the points on the scoreboard, but were robbed of the win by the zebras. This is like saying we were the winners of Super Bowl XXV because we absolutely dominated the NFL that season and even the game. But, no, we did not win or deserve to win that game.

This, plus the Duke call up, serves as proof the Bills FO is reading and following TSW.

What’s his mom going to say about this?

The best part of the interview is the last 5 seconds. It never gets old.

Mills? Any former Panthers out of work?

While I’m sure McBeane isn’t shopping him, I’m sure he can be bought for the right price. Allen is probably the only one without a price tag, but this is more due to his position, not his ability.

There’s no need for him to come back. We already have one of the best defenses in the league.

I think these conclusions about Barkley are unfair. I’m not going to criticize him one bit for his performance being forced into a NE game. Let’s judge him on the upcoming game.

I think that was just Trent. In the Kelly-Marino generation, I’m sure QBs used to sustain concussions at a similar frequency as now. As players, they turned out just fine.

“Sorry, Coach, just looking for the John”.

I agree with the 4th and goal call. If we get a TD, we’d win the game. If we go for the FG and got it, we’d still be down 2 scores to win.

As a PSA, just to let people know of Father Haskins: https://www.nj.com/giants/2019/04/heres-the-strange-conversation-i-had-with-dawyne-haskins-father-before-he-hung-up-on-me.html

Best part was around 1:29 when the creepy smile appears on his face. Love it.

Why Marrone still has a job as a HC is beyond baffling. He’s accomplished next to nothing in the league.
