Right, it also definitely sucks for Baker as well. Don't get me wrong. But I would rather get it out of the way now rather than be stuck in a shirt storm on a long term deal. Part of my assumption is that the Browns don't tag him for eternity.
Must suck making $19 million a year...

That's a ridiculous thing to write.
Not really. Lawyers often times will advise clients to settle because they feel they will lose in court even if they think they are innocent and it will cost them less to settle.

If would have made it go away and for him to get back on the field quicker it might have made financial sense from a long term perspective. Once lawyers get involved it becomes dangerous to assume things.

Putting players who aren't performing on notice...they aren't sitting on their laurels, they better step their game up. Compete or be gone.

Mine tooI mean if there has ever been a better all around package of ironic pre-snap declaration, great play, great announcing combined with comic relief, Brady getting lambasted by Schobel and then Bledsoe attempting more comic relief and Adams getting mad at him for it, I don't know what it would be...this clip has it all.

My all time favorite Brady moment...coming in a close second was watching Sam Adams intercept a Brady Screen pass and then take it 31 yards to the house, seeing Brady get annihilated by Schobel trying to make the tackle and hearing Dierdorf laughing and yelling on the broadcast...it's hysterical...one of my all time favorite announcing moments...
Even more funny because Dierdorf directly before the snap says "Right now, this NE offense has got to get off it's butt and do something" and not even 2 seconds after he got that out of his mouth, Brady throws that INT and he starts laughing...
Announcer: "Intercepted!"
Dierdorf: "Oh-ho-ho!"
Announcer: "Picked off right side..."
Dierdorf: "Hahaha"
Announcer: "Here goes...BIG!!....SAM!!!....ADAMS!!!!"
Dierdorf: "Hahaha...OH NO!!!!!!" and laughs some more
Announcer: "That was 360 lbs running down the sideline"
Dierdorf: "Haha...oh! Yeah right! Hahahaha!"(insinuating that he weighs a lot more than that)
Announcer: "Tilting the earth! Suddenly rumbling downhill!"
Dierdorf: "That was like a freighter coming into port!"
Then watching Bledsoe come over and put Adams arm around him and act like he is carrying him over to the bench to get oxygen and seeing Adams shove him away as if he really didn't appreciate that.

Was listening to the "Locked on Bills" podcast this morning and the host brought up the fact that the Bills' OL going into this season is much more athletic than last year's group.
2021 -- Dawkins, Feliciano, Morse, Ford, Williams -- average RAS score of around 6.5
2022 -- Dawkins, Saffold, Morse, Bates, Brown -- average RAS score >9
For those unaware, RAS is "relative athleticism score" and all draft-eligible athletes are rated coming out of college.
What does this mean? I think the Bills are going to be primarily a zone blocking unit this season because they have the athletes to make it work.
This particular host also said he's very comfortable with the Bills' OL depth.
I would think so...wasn't Kromer a big zone blocking guy when he was here? Either way, he was exceptionally good at coaching them up, our run game was amazing then.

- Did the host happen to mention why?
Maybe because Kromer can make most guys play to their potential?

I haven't seen one person in this thread make the claim that 100% of the plaintiffs are 100% telling the truth. I personally believe there is some gray space in some of the information that we've been given. I'm in no position to judge each individual accusation on its merits (other than Ashley Solis, where based on her TV interview I am confident as can be that she is telling the truth). My position has been that given all of the available evidence, the number of women that have come forward, and the fact that not a single one of the plaintiffs has changed their story, I am extremely confident that Deshaun Watson acted as a predator and took advantage of multiple women that he put into vulnerable situations. In at least one case, Ashley Solis's, I am confident that his behavior rose to the level of sexual assault. Based on your posts it doesn't seem like you disagree that Watson took advantage of at least some of these women. So what is your point now? If your point is that we shouldn't inherently believe all 23 women I don't think anyone here disagrees with that.
I do think it's likely something nefarious happened at least in some of the cases and that Watson is guilty of being a scumbag at the very least in those situations. But I also don't buy that it happened to 23 or 24 different women, many of whom didn't come forward until the case was weeks or months old.
Mainly what I am trying to say is just that accusations without evidence does not constitute proof of wrongdoing. Seems like there are a lot of people who are willing to go on what they say alone and don't take into account the fact that there could be other motives behind them coming forward and moreso dismissing that this type of stuff actually happens.

This is all coming off as a little too personal to me.
But to be clear you're implying that women tend to lie about being busy to avoid dates, and also somehow connecting that to them falsely accusing someone of sexual assault/harassment?
I'm saying that blindly believing what someone says without clear evidence is all too common these days. Do I believe that some of these women were likely assaulted by Watson? Yes. Do I believe all 23 or 24 were? Hell no. The risk/reward for anyone coming forward and filing a claim at this point against him is highly in favor of reward right now.
If people don't understand that, then I am sorry to tell you, you likely have been taken advantage of in your life at least once, and likely more than once.

Something like 20% of women are the victims of rap and only about 1/3 are reported. The data around false accusations implies it is minimal.
Think about that next time you are in a room full of women, especially ones that you care about. The idea that under most circumstances at least one has been raped or experienced an attempted rape. Then literally go look at yourself in the mirror and audibly say, "I bet she is lying". and see how that fits.
It's up to 10% actually where they are falsely accused, but if you are the person being falsely accused, it's 100%, and the odds are heavily stacked against you.
I'm not saying I don't believe them out of hand, I am simply saying that blindly believing anything a woman tells you is likely to get you into far more trouble than it will get you into good graces with women. Most women don't respect guys who believe everything they say and are unwilling to ask questions or call them on things that don't make sense.

It's usually the same people too. When the accusations are first made "These women are just money hungry." And later, "Why didn't she come forward sooner?" 🤦♂️
Yeah...sure plenty of people were waiting to throw the book at this poor guy who did nothing wrong other than picking the wrong woman to have a consensual encounter with. The reason why there are people out there saying that stuff is that things like this happen...a lot more than people realize or want to admit.
Estimated that up to 2-10% of all of these type of cases are false accusations. Acting like this never happens when up to potentially 1 in every 10 cases brought to court represent falsely accused men is a little like burying your head in the sand.

Hard to assume 24 different people with the only connection is the same profession and use social media are on lying. Did he rape anyone? Probably not. Was he being a dirtbag in most of these situation? Probably so.
Agreed, but it also isn't out of the realm of possibility you have some jumping in because they see a way to get an easy payday from a settlement and let's not discount how lawyers would want to get as many people involved in the lawsuit as possible so they might be pushing them to either say more happened than what really did, twisting something that may have happened that wasn't really intended as sexual, or asking leading questions to them so they get the answers they want and then can turn around and say "but you said that he did..." if push comes to shove.
The truth is nobody knows how many of these claims are legit and we likely never fully will, but it wouldn't surprise me if less than half were.

What benefit does that do for them?
Fans don’t want to believe it but NFL teams do actually pay PFF for their data.
They do, more so for another reference point and probably to see if they have a much higher opinion than the team does, did the team overlook something in their evaluations where they should go back and rewatch it again and involve more people? Doesn't hurt to have it available for cross-checking purposes and to maybe come up with a list of 20-30 players they differ on quite a bit and to look more in depth.

Some of the generalized views of women on this thread are really concerning.It is really gross and even scary in some cases. So much vitriol towards an entire gender.
We get “warning points” for talking politics out of turn around kneeling or shootings. But providing a safe space to talk about how women are some deceptive subclass of human who have been strategically manipulating men for millennia is peak misogyny and privilege.
I have a really bad taste in my mouth about the character of a number of people on this thread. I really hope the women in my life are not involved with them at all.
You are really naive if you think those type of women don't exist. Hopefully you don't end up learning the hard way or the expensive way.

you can be smart and it can still happen. humans are a strange bunch. to be jilted towards an entire group is just strange to me, and say more about that person than the group they're concerned about.
I don't think judging someone by actions rather than words is jilted. I think it just allows you to see clearly. A woman says she wants to see you all the time but then is constantly "busy" if you ask her out but finds time to hang out with friends, coworkers outside work, etc simply means she isn't in to you. But the number of guys who will keep trying over and over again because they think to themselves "Well, she said she really wants to get together so she must be interested" is staggering. Nobody is that busy that if they really wanted to get together that they wouldn't find a way to make it happen. That just isn't how people work. In fact, if women are interested they will normally go out of their way to make it work even if it means cutting into other areas of their life.
Women many times either are being nice because they legitimately don't want to hurt guys feelings by telling them the truth so they think telling these little white lies or pretending like they want to do something when they really don't is letting them down easy and they'll get the hint, or they are afraid to tell guys "no" because some guys can't handle and get really mad and will go off on them and call them names, etc or will get violent because their ego can't handle being rejected.
So if guys understand the why behind it, it becomes easier to just judge actions to understand what their true interest level is. If they make time to see you, they are interested, if they don't they aren't. Many guys could simplify their life by just having that type of outlook in place, not only with women but with a lot of different things...but unfortunately they want to believe what people say instead of what they do most times.

this applies to all humans...not just women.
i think the problem is some men are just awful with women. choosing them, having a partner, keeping someone around. i just can't help but to feel that if someone has this approach, it's because they were jilted at some point or just can't get the attention of a woman. we've all been burned by someone at some point in our lives, but for the love of god get over it.
it really is the classic definition.
Of course everyone has. Some allow it to happen over and over again and never learn. The smart ones learn from their experiences and don't let it happen again. If more guys would simply judge by actions instead of words they would see things much clearer.

And people wonder why women don’t come forward in these situations … it’s humiliating to be in the public eye and be judged like this
Partly due to so many that have been found to be lying about what actually happened trying to get money or even just get guys arrested because they are vindictive if things go badly in the future between them. Not saying this is the case or not, but it does happen a lot. Far more than people think.

Love Fitz, but at this point does he belong to any one team or to every team at this point?
Clearly the Bills hold a special place in his heart and he has said repeatedly that Buffalo was his favorite place to play by far and it wasn't even close.

He was the greatest journeyman QB of all time...and I don't mean that as an insult.
Agreed...32nd on the NFL Career passing yards list, under 500 behind Jim Kelly, and trailing Jay Cutler by 143 and Andy Dalton by under 300 yards. Made over $82.1 Million in his career...not too shabby.

This dude has to be one of the greatest replacement level players of all time, finishing 32nd All-time on the career passing yards list, only 143 behind Jay Cutler and under 500 yards behind Jim Kelly. Also career earnings of over $82.1 million have to make him one of the highest paid replacement level players of all time as well.

What position concerns you the most?
in The Stadium Wall
Posted · Edited by Big Turk
Honestly, Dorsey as OC concerns me the most but that doesn't really concern me much. Only thing is he might not understand all the little details and nuances of a play that Daboll did on how to influence a defense and help the plays be successful even if they were in a good call to defend it. However, the talent level of the offense has gone up so that might mitigate that as they can simply overwhelm a defense on any given play with too much talent.
But position wise, I am not really concerned with any position. CB would probably be the most, although I am not concerned with this much at all either. If Tre isn't very good this year or takes a while to get back to playing, could be some pain there.
