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.

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.
NFL version of "sliding into the DMs"

@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

I don't think Moss had a slump last year, Singletary alluded to he never got right coming back from that ankle injury last year but is back to his normal self this 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.

Yes, the Bills look to be absolutely loaded this year, but the entire AFC looks really strong…I don’t think the 1990s Bills ever had to compete in an AFC with anywhere near this many good teams. The good news is the AFCE is probably the least strong of the four divisions, but this season going to be a gauntlet…
Uhh...AFC South??

He is going to want to go undercover tomorrow as they are watching game film from today's debacle on offense he led.

I don't have notes or film, but I think there was another play earlier when he was really slow on a break to the sideline and he was just chasing the play.
Also, the deep ball up the right sideline, he ran great with the receiver, but he didn't find or make a play on the ball.
Someone noted that he didn't look great in the run game, and I noticed that also. Benford was attacking ball carriers.
Don't overstate what I said. I just thought he played more like a rookie and Benford didn't.
I thought Elam in his first game played very well, especially on the first pass breakup against the Colts first team offense.
Bills coaches are just DB Whisperers.

Looked so effortless that I thought he probably didn't get ahold of it but it was a perfect spiral and it just kept going and going like a long fly ball in baseball that keeps carrying and becomes a HR. The returner had no idea what to do because it just kept carrying. A lot of punters (Haack) would try to put more into it being pinned so far deep in their own zone and a lot of those times those end up being shanks. Today's punt from the Punt God was just very smooth and under control. Very impressive
They need to do a sports science study on him...wonder if it's exceptional leg speed that gives him his amazing leg

I don't understand how people who are paid to provide color commentary and "know" stuff normal fans don't know can wonder on air about why the horsecollar sack wasn't called.
It's because the only place a horsecollar tackle is legal is on a QB in the pocket Steve. Get with it.

Keenum needs to pull it together. Not only for his backup QB spot but he wasted a lot of chances for his offensive teammates.
He's a vet and needs to play much better against the Broncos next week.
Both his INTs we're particularly egregious, especially the second one...
How do you throw a back shoulder ball inside and while the DB is staring right at you??

Had it not been a touchback, I'd agree. A great punt, no doubt. But for it to be the best punt I have ever seen, it would have to been kicked out of bounds or had more hang time and been downed before the goal line. Don't get me wrong, very impressive. But 10 yards shorter and out of bounds is a better outcome.
The best I ever saw was I believe Randall Cunningham punting 90+ yards and it being returned 9 yards from the 7.
Namely because while Cunningham was a good college punter, he played QB in the NFL...pretty well actually.
