I don't think this is too far fetched. We could certainly win out and none of the potential AFC playoff teams scare me that much. I'm in. Let's do this.

We just put up 30 points and 390 yards against a defense that had allowed 35 points TOTAL in the previous 4 games and no more than 268 yards in any of those games. A lot of people just can never be satisfied I guess.

Guess I need to go and update my Worst 5 now.

Best: Dareus McCoy Watkins Gilmore Incognito Honorable mentions: Hughes, Tyrod, Darby, Mario, Clay Worst Mulligan Duke Williams Cyrus Felton (I can't be the only one to see him miss his block all game long) Boobie IK is pretty horrible too, but I ran out of room.

I just did this exercise without really looking at yours and I came up with the exact same alignment.

Same offensive coordinator as Gailey was basically just the offensive coordinator here. Same QB; have you not seen him do the exact same things he was doing as the Bills QB? Get down, comeback, pump everyone up, throw pick on final drive where he could have won game rinse and repeat. Only difference is now he has Brandon Marshall to throw to, here he had Stevie...big difference. The Jets will not make the playoffs, mark it down.

Yep, had already edited before you guys posted. But still, don't we remember what we did with Fitzy not too long ago? If he wants like $5 or $6M per, sure, why. But if I were him, I'd be looking for $10-$15 with how he's looked this year and for me, it's way too early to make such a commitment on him.

Fact, Watkins has played 8 games if you take out the second half vs Dolphins and Bengals when he got injured. If he would have played 16 games he would be on pace for 1270 yards and 12 TDs in his second season on a clearly run focused offense. And that even includes his 0 catches week 1 vs Indy. I'd take that any day of the week.

Why would we extend him now when we have him under contract for 2016 already for pennies? Save the cap room for now. Didn't we learn our lesson by extending Fitzy a bit prematurely? And better than Brady? Come on man.

Shhhh. Don't you know that facts and logic are frowned upon around here?

Do kickers ever come out early? I'm pretty sure Janikowski did. If Aguayo foregoes his senior year I would be very comfortable taking him in the second round of the draft considering the new extra point rules and the ability to free up a roster spot with a guy that can do kicks and field goals. Is that crazy?

People just can't enjoy a win for even a single day.

Tyrod needs to run more. It provides an extra angle that is tough to defend. The more he runs, the more spies and pass rushers they will counter with. The more spies and pass rushers, the more open the passing lanes become over the middle. Unfortunately, it comes with an exponentially greater risk of injury especially considering his is no Cam Newton size wise. He is not our problem this year at all. It's our D. When you lose Kyle Williams, Mario Williams, Aaron Williams to injury. You lose significant depth at DLine and LB so when your starters do go out, you aren't playing with your second string guys (which was a strength of ours in camp) you are playing with 3rd, 4th, and PS guys instead, it makes a huge difference. Jairus Wynn, Ty Powell, now Alex Carrington all hurt big time. We lost Bradham last week and the guy who replaced him got cut the next day because he was so terrible. Yeah, every team has injuries, but not every team loses their best players AND their backups.

Suspend a head coach for not challenging a play? You have lost your mind. Maybe we suspend Woods too for dropping a pass right in his hands and then costing us a timeout and challenge by proclaiming he caught it? Or we suspend Robey for not intercepting that WR screen pass towards the end of the game that would have been a pick 6 and given us the lead? Maybe we suspend Hughes for another costly 15 yard penalty? Or maybe Hogan for not holding on to the ball when he hit the ground? Or maybe Sammy because we gave up 2 first round picks for him and he only had 150 yards and 2 TDs? Or maybe the Chiefs should suspend their player for giving us a free 6 points for encroaching on a punt that could have cost them the game? Or the CB that was completely toasted during the first half? Or that CB that dropped a pick 6 right in his hands on their team? The point is, both teams had plenty of chance to win the game and had plenty of mistakes all around. Pretty much every single NFL game does. Get over it or stop watching football.

I have seen research on this phenomenon and it is believed that when one passes the other has endorphins / chemicals released in their body which can sometimes lead to a heart attack especially in weaker hearts. The saying "they died of a broken heart" can actually be true. Sorry for your loss Doug.

Yep, that's the winner.

You think Rex Ryan has the time to watch and scout college football games? Especially a guy that was way below the radar? Come on now. This is 100% personnel department.

Considering he's only been a RB for 2 + years now, I would definitely agree that he can only get better and, at the moment, is just the perfect compliment to Shady. A great "Thunder and Lightning" combo where the thunder is actually more than just thunder, but has break out speed and some receiving ability as well. At this point in time a home run pick for sure.

Whaley is a lame duck GM and Rex should be fired after 1 season here. Haven't you been around for the last month or so? I'm surprised you were in that grouping, knowing your college FB knowledge. While I didn't know much about Darby (since he was not thrown to at FSU because he was all over guys all the time), it became immediately apparent to me after watching what I could on him, that he was a tremendous cover guy who can't catch at all. That has turned out to be mostly true although he does have a couple picks, he just mostly goes for the swat instead. One of the articles or videos was calling him "the invisible man" because he wouldn't show up in any box scores because they would just completely avoid throwing his way for strings of games at a time (had like 4 or 5 straight games of no stats last season). I've been calling him that in my circles ever since I saw that. Here is my first post on Darby from the draft day thread: "Posted 01 May 2015 - 08:04 PM There's a reason you haven't heard of this guy and that he doesn't have a great highlight reel. Teams do not throw in his direction. To me, that's a great sign for a CB. Let's give him a chance, could be a shut down level guy that went under the radar." http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/178054-rd-2-pick-50-db-ronald-darby-florida-state/page-6#108

OP...what happened to your thoughts from this post on 9/21? Then we were 5-11 at best and now we are winning 4 or 5 more games in the last 7. Maybe you just think we are going to lose 7 straight now. Nice job.

As Rex clearly said "F Yeah"

For once we are in a position to where it doesn't matter really. We are in control of our own destiny. If we manage to lose only 1 or 2 games the rest of the way, the help we need is sure to fall into place.

No one is giving us a chance. Not even a lot of Bills fans and our local media. I think we are going to surprise a lot of people and this extra time helps a lot. Helps with game planning and helps with recovery. The loss of Lewis is huge in my opinion as their current RBs are not nearly as much of a threat in the passing game. They also got injuries on the Oline and we could, potentially, come into this game the healthiest we have been all season. We got a real shot at winning this game and I'm pumped.

That was 4th and short, no? Even more huge.

He was going in a straight line right to the ball. Perfectly legal play to get there a bit early, he had position and has a right to go for the ball just as much as the receiver.
