Here's the cheat sheet! https://www.wkbw.com/sports/bills/2017-buffalo-bills-path-to-playoffs-cheat-sheet

The upcoming game in Miami seems exponentially more important than this week's game against the Patriots, for whatever reason.

I like Waldman's breakdown of his throwing motion.

remember during the lead up to the draft when scouts were talking poo poo about Garoppolo because his throwing motion was too quick

Richardson is out of the picture with the Panthers

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Tina Becker was named the chief operating officer of the Carolina Panthers on Monday, taking team owner and founder Jerry Richardson out of the day-to-day management of the organization.

There is no such thing as too quick for a throwing motion as long as you are able to put zip on the ball?

I guess release point could be a thing but in that case the problem is release point, not the speed of the delivery.

I do not understand. You are a multibillionaire. You can afford to hire a literal scouting team for women who ate DTF you and pay their airfare. poo poo you hve enough money to make the women do a combine for the privilege. Instead youre leering at women in jeans like a run of the mill grocery hobo.

It's a seller's market for teams right now because of the impending TV bubble popping for sports. I'm pretty sure it's more "get out while you still can" as opposed to any sort of altruism.

It's about power and privilege, not really sex. It's the same basic reason nominally straight dudes teabag other dudes.

Becker has been doing a lot of repping for the team at league meetings etc for a while now. Logical choice.

Richardson stepping down so quick isnt weird to me. He has always been a protect the shield owner so while he's a huge piece of poo poo he probably realises its best for the league and team to gtfo.

Seems more likely to me that he's terrified of things going to court and coming out in discovery about himself than any thought for the good it will do the NFL.

He was with the 49ers in preseason. Looked good, only reason he didn’t stick was because of Robbie Gould.

From Marvin Lewis's presser today:

quote:

Lewis didn’t make an overwhelming plea to make a return to Cincinnati happen.

In fact, when asked if he wanted to be back with the Bengals next year, he offered: “Imma coach football.”

When pressed again if he wants to coach football for the Bengals, Lewis kept it simple, if uninspired.

“Sure,” he said.

Missouri has a redshirt freshman tight end that actually does tight end things in a super up tempo spread offense. It's weird, and if he has a pulse I bet he gets drafted at some point just for that (assuming they keep using him that way).
I think the Offense is gonna change, so probably not.

I didn't see it live but the Davis hit is worse than JuJu v Burfict imo, though it'd feel right if Gronk had gotten 2 games because his hit was not part of a regular play aka a real chickenshit move

Tae has had 3 concussions in a bit over a year. He's going to get hugely paid and he deserves every last penny but I'm really worried we'll have another Sam Shields situation on our hands soon if these defenders keep on taking shots to his head.

Come on man, he earholed Adams. "Incidental contact"?

I've seen tacklers lead with their shoulders, Davis wasn't leading with his shoulder at all. If anything he was just trying to run straight through Adams instead of block him.

Here's another blindside block, which are bad and players are bad for making them, and this is what leading with the shoulder looks like when you end up still nailing someone in the head:



This, is not:

This is how you block someone who isn't looking at you:
