We've got some problems at receiver if Jordan Matthews is our deep threat. I like him, but fleet of foot he ain't. Well, relatively speaking of course, he would destroy any of us, probably all of us at the same time.

Maybe you're not one of the believers

3-13 that's if they beat the Jets

- GERBE!!!75PTS


Last I checked, we were only capable of beating the Jets.

We weren't going to win another game all season. That was said last week as well.

And if we can beat the Jets, we must be able to beat Miami, since they lost to the Jets this week.

Just found these gems from after the game last week:

Meh if they beat a real opponent then I'll say they have a good D like if they contain CJ Anderson next week then I'll give them credit

How can you say the bills have a championship defense if they can't beat a average Broncos offense

Sooooooo

Still waiting on the credit that the Bills D is due.

Your move Jr.

There's no logic here. Only kale, as far as the eye can see.

I said if they shut down the Denver Broncos and the Falcons did I not ..

They are currently at 50% once they shut down the Falcons I will gladly give them the other 50% and eat some crow

Love the writing Pach, and I try not to be a proof reader.

There's a trend in sports writing and sports reporting, generally, to use the word "aggressiveness."

What's wrong with "aggression."

- Der Kaiser


The one I really despise in sports writing is "compete level". Compete is a verb. It is not an adjective. "Compete level" sounds so horrible. Sentences along the lines of, "His compete level is really high" have become all too common in sports reporting and writing over the last few years. It's lazy. It would be nice if the writer/reporter could just say, "He's really competitive." Even that doesn't say much because every player in the NHL is competitive or they wouldn't be where they are.

Your last sentence is exactly why they say it the way they do. They're all competitive, but some are more competitive than others. Hence the "compete level" or "Level of compete" (I've heard it both ways).

In many ways, it's probably not correct grammatically, but does make sense.

If so, just say "He's ultra competitive" or "He competes harder than 75% of guys in the league."

won every contest on fanduel again this week

started out with $30, already put $150 in the bank and still have 80 in my account






for those that want my strategy

start out with $30

make 2 lineups


$15 each line up spread out

$10 on double ups
$3 on triple ups
$2 on tourneys


bump up accordingly


this week I will use $25 on each lineup

I do believe we will have an angry Irishman here today...

He needed Dez and Bailey to get him 12.75 pts to beat me in fantasy....

They got him 12.5.


97.65 to 97.30

So, let's talk some hockey.

I'm not gonna lie. I'm disappointed that Nylander hasn't been able to participate in camp. I was excited to see what he could do this year.

As of right now I see the Bills at 6-10, 7-9 or 8-8

But yeah they are going to draft 2nd overall

Junior just doesn't learn

He gets a handful of things right out of the 100's of stupid things he says

So his track record is a little better than EK's by a hair

I have been really disappointed by the offensive output thus far. We were supposed to have a far more potent "north" game. I'm a little less concerned because fans of other teams have been good enough to say the pre-season means nothing.

I was kind of thinking the same thing.... I think a big thing in preseason games is "don't get hurt" so maybe the do or die effort isn't there yet. Also, maybe don't wanna show all of your best cards in preseason either. A lot of guys might not have their legs under them yet either.
