I now believe that Jason McCourty is/was a closet Bills fan
I think even fans from other teams are becoming Bills fans now...how can you not? The team is amazing, fun, and just balls out.

In 2 out of 3 years, within a few minutes of winning a super bowl and an NFC championship game are pretty far
The problem is they should have won that Superbowl going away if he played anything close to a good level.

agree not feeling the love for OJ Howard or Stevenson.
Howard is super slow with stone hands: Sweeney can get better and josh likes to pound beers with him-good locker room guy
Stevenson has not shown me anything except dropped balls and being hurt-CFL guy
just looked it up: $3.5MM against the cap one way or another- he's staying and he is stealing
Stevenson pretty much a guaranteed IR stash at this point.

I did a search and do not see this being discussed anywhere else on the boars. If this is in some weird catch all topic that I am supposed to know about, I don't see what that would be so I am posting it in a new thread. Feel free to move it if you feel the need to.
This article is interesting...basically suggests Jimmy G changed once he got his big contract and went MIA during off seasons not returning texts or calls from teammates, coaches or front office members of the 49ers for weeks and weeks and weeks.
Made the 49ers question how much his heart was in it as the franchise QB and turned them sour on him over time as it continued to happen every offseason.
If so...perhaps his attitude and perceived lack of commitment is what is getting him shipped out more than his play and constant injuries.

The latest news: They were claimed off waivers by Piggly Wiggly.
I thought it was Winn Dixie or Publix

I'm not so sure they aren't keeping 3 TEs and even if they only keep 2, I don't know that Howard is beating Sweeney out...
Sure he might be ahead of him on the depth chart now but if the Bills think Sweeney has room to grow and Howard doesn't offer them much upside, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Howard get cut. That type of thing happens a lot around the NFL.

Deion Sanders complains the Hall has become a watered-down free-for-all and thinks there should be a special room for him and a very few select others. https://www.si.com/nfl/falcons/news/atlanta-deion-sanders-football-hall-of-fame-braves-dallas-cowboys-jackson-state
I tend to agree. I watched him closely when he played. He couldn’t really tackle but it was impossible to separate from him. The original lock-down corner. Add to that his return game and there are very few in his category. That’s not even counting the Primetime aspect. Last career pick six against the Bills in his mid 30s.
I think Darrell Green would take some exception to that.

Yeah, you're probably right. But I think NE is going to be worse than people think this year.
Me too...I think they are going to take offensive football back 30 years

Thugs gonna thug, right?
Shameful. It’s Youth football, not that adult football would make a difference; but the idea that you can role model a better life for children seems lost on these fools. Hopefully, justice is served, but you know, he’s got millions and is a former “star”, so it won’t.
I played in a flag football league for a while and there was a team of thugs from the inner city that got into a fight with themselves during a playoff game...it was like a bench clearing brawl but only their own team as we just stood on the field with the refs and watched incredulously.
Not sure what it was over but we were trouncing them like 28-6 with a few minutes to go and I think the one guy was pissed because he wouldn't let him play QB and the other dude kept throwing INTs

Colts OL is lousy. They won't win 10 games like that. Ryan won't survive 9 games
Their LT looks good though. Fast feet, shifting balance and good vision to mirror his defender
Whoever 55 is for us reminds me of a young Hughes. Runs wild, over pursues, doesn't get himseld into a winning outcome despite "being in the backfield" and "making pressure."
I did not watch them game. Just listened. On the few clips I have seen I don't see the Colts winning more than 9 games.
So your season outlook based on a game you didn't watch, which was the first preseason game in which not all players played(namely JT)?
If there could be a more meaningless statement that could be made, I'd like to hear it.

Maybe. Although they played together only 2 years. How many Centers did he go through in NE?
He came back out of retirement as soon as he knew Arians was quitting.
And now perhaps he is realizing that the grass isn't always greener?

And yet Shakir made a similar catch later in the game:
This is the NFL. Passes aren't always perfect. If you get your hands on the ball you're supposed to catch it. Especially when your role mainly consists of catching balls in the middle of the field, drops like Crowder had are dangerous and lead to turnovers. So far this offseason Crowder has been banged up and failed to make the play he was given in his one opportunity. His chances of making the roster went down a bit yesterday.
I said the ball should have been caught. But I also believe on a throw that short with a player that open the ball should have been put in a better place.
The receiver is going to get all the blame for dropping the ball but it's more like 60/40 WR/QB for me on that one.
No reason for a ball to be that high on such an easy throw

It was a high ball, I agree. But it is a ball the receiver has to catch 99 times out of 100.
Yeah that's true, but again, throw a better ball and the worst that happens is an incomplete pass.
6 minutes ago, DCofNC said:1 thing that was a bummer to me, we have no developmental QB on the roster, watching 2 guys we know are mediocre makes it a lot less fun. Also, after watching that mess, I’d have a real competition for the back up spot. Keenum SUCKED, he was the reason they didn’t score on the first drive, that telegraphed pick in the RZ was pathetic. I don’t know if lost some zip on his passes or what, but he was throwing everything with a horrible arm angle and making everything go high, not to mention hanging guys out to dry. I would rather see Barkley. Yeah he’s limited and we know it, BUT he made some great plays throwing to spots and trusting his guys to get there. I still say, we should have been swinging for Bortles, he’s so similar to JA (the really bad version of JA), at least it wouldn’t be a huge scheme shift and the guy has an arm. He’s ACTUALLY won as a starter, with a decent team around him, for the Pennie’s he’s gone for, I don’t get it.
I don’t expect him to make the roster, there’s really no room for him. I liked what I saw and I hope he catches on somewhere OR he makes the practice squad. For his sake I hope he catches in another team and makes some more bank. Selfishly, I’d like to see him on the PS to see if he can come take a spot mid-season or next year. I’m pretty sure he sealed Duke Johnson’s fate though, no reason to keep an 8 year guy over the rookie.
Who cares about a developmental QB?
We are not in the drought era where we thought every developmental QB we got was going to be the next franchise QB anymore.
I mean let's be real...of Allen goes down it doesn't matter who the backup is, we are screwed. A developmental QB is not doing anything for us. Don't understand the love for them are around the league..when was the last one that had any real success?
I wouldn't be surprised to only keep 2 and try to sneak Barkley onto the PS

I wouldn't be surprised to hear him announce he is retiring.
He didn't want to be in Tampa, his choice was to be in Miami with some ownership stake.
Gronk retired.
Godwin is still hurt.
His center Jensen is done for the year.
He doesn't like the weather apparently.
New coach that doesn't have a great track record as a head coach.
Would not surprise me at all for him to announce he decided to hang them up.

Great summary.
1. Secondary: easiest roster decision, IMO, very impressive the quality starters and depth...our backups would start on many teams. Tre, Dane, Elam, Taron, Neal, Benford, Lewis, Hyde, Poyer, Johnson, and Hamlin should be the group making the 53. To me, this is likely the group we go "heavy" (roster spots) compared to prior years. Lewis and Benford would be snatched up immediately if they are cut, which I don't think they will be. I think Cam offers some nice ST versatility as well.
2. RB room: I'm really looking forward to seeing how Dorsey deploys our "skill" guys, especially at RB. Loads of versatility snd they complement each other well. Blackshear showed some nice ability, certainly a good P/S type.
Overall, I'm very impressed with the young/rookie guys. With a loaded roster, it's great to see so many young players make an impact and I can easily see 6-7 rookies making the final 53. And a few to the P/S.
Apparently Frelund said 3 frontoffice people texted her to inquire about the chances of Benford making the roster.
She then failed to mention that all three then proceeded to ask her out on a date right after.

@GunnerBill I don't totally absolve Keenum on the first INT.
This is an example of poor ball placement that needlessly ended up as an INT.
Crowder was wide open over the middle on a short throw, Keenum threw high and the ball bounced off Crowder's hands for the INT.
Should he have caught it? Sure.
Was it a good throw? No...the ball should have been in his bread basket right out in front of him which would have resulted in a catch or him dropping the ball harmlessly to the ground.
This is an example where good ball placement results in a different outcome on the play and the INT never needed to happen.

Zack Moss getting carries first means nothing. Those same question marks are still there. The overreaction to the first preseason game is amazing.
From all reports the questions are not there and the ankle was still bothering him last year

Elam played well today. But, speed saved him a few times.
He was on the receivers hip a few times, but was out of position also. Out of position being not playing the receiver or ball correctly. He made up for those mistakes with speed and was able to minimize his exposure.
We will see how much he’s pushed by the opposing QB once it’s real games. I fear he could get exposed right now by a really good QB/WR. Mostly if he’s the number 1 guy. The dude has mucho talent for sure, just needs to be aware of the situation.
He needs to get more experience and it's all a part of the learning process.
