  1. Cookie was 6-2 at least 250, never played college ball. Saw him run for 243 yards [5 TD's] in the Rockpile in 1963 on muddy field with puddles. Cookie was also the placekicker at times, and played two ways in Canada. He was bigger than most of the D-Lineman of that era. Jim Brown was a gifted multi-sport athlete, Football, basketball, lacrosse, track & field. Played hoops, lax and ran track at 'cuse. Finished 5th in the 1955 AAU decathlon. Actually had to change the rules in Lacrosse because of him, when he pinned the ball to his chest, impossible to get it away from him.
  2. Being a stats guy, the game essentially came down to two plays, both by Henry. The 76 yard run was a bad Bills defensive set that the Titans exploited. Henry does this a couple of times every year. The 13 yard TD, was just a "I'm gonna do this and you can't stop me". Take those out and the Titans gained 273 yards from scrimmage. Josh's Int and the resulting short field was IMHO a product of our putrid O-Line play. Then there's our total lack of a running game. If you look at the rushing leaders in the NFL, which you need if you hope to control the clock with a lead, they are all [Henry, Chubb, Elliott, Mixon, Taylor] much bigger than Moss and Motor. We need a back that can pound the rock. We had two scores wiped by inopportune penalties. Daboll had a couple creative red zone plays, the Knox pass to Allen, and the Knox TD run that was wiped out by a holding call, but we need more creativity. Our OL and RB's are not dominant in the red zone, yet we have a stable of pass catchers that routinely get open. Why a supposed offensive genius like Daboll cant come up with a decent screen pass option in the red zone is beyond me.
  3. Titans running out of DB's. Put Henry in on Defense?
  4. Steve Levy is a SUNY Oswego grad. Used to be a stringer at Bills games for a LI Radio station when he was in college.
  5. Why don't they just give the defense team the option of taking the ball 50 yards from the line of scrimmage on 4th down. Punts are almost unwatchable these days.
  6. Re: Brown tho, everything I've read says he is on a pitch count, and won't be full go until around week 10. He and Jones do present matchup problems for our smallish DB's wonder if we will see a bit more of Neal in this game, as he's our biggest DB.
  7. Cowboys secondary is playing like hot garbage.
  8. Frazier and McD are nothing if not disciplined. Our front 7 play that way.
  9. Same solid defense that our Bills hung a 43 burger on.
  10. You forgot Nick Saban & Bill O'Brien.
  11. Latavius Murray being helped off. Leveon Bell time.
  12. Yes, and it wasn't close: Josh Allen: 37 Josh Rosen: 29 Sam Darnold: 28 Baker Mayfield: 25 Lamar Jackson: 13
  13. Robert Woods can play this game.
  14. And the Bills get them back to back after the Bye
  15. Haack is quite a bit more expensive than Bojo. Bojo 1.02MM, Haack 1.575MM cap hit.
  16. Knowing McDermott's attention to detail, wondering if his place kick holding was why Bojo is now with his third team. Sure's he not happy about the game-changing punt block against the Steelers, but Bojo's holding adventures aren't new.
  17. The Jets sacked Tannehill 7 times two weeks ago. in the other 4 games Titans have given up 13 sacks. Jets got a lead and blitzed on 21 of 56 dropbacks. 5 of the sacks were on Third down.
  18. Aka Janoris, used to play for the inhabitants of the Jersey Swamp
  19. I sat through the forward lateral in a Skybox in BNA. Bills D played lights out. With Flutie, game would not have been close enough for it to matter. To think that Titans team was 2 feet from winning the Lombardi trophy. NFL really needs to have an rfid chip in every ball, and a grid built into the field for plays like this. Also Bills took 10 penalties in that game to 2 for the Titans, please don't tell me the fix wasn't in.
  20. Milano is ranked 1st overall in LB's by PFF, 3rd in coverage, 1st in rushing the passer, 8th in run defense. Only LB in the league with a grade above 90.
  21. With Taiwan Jones and Siran Neal both DNP on the Injury report; do we elevate Cam Lewis to play ST's and as the extra DB? Neal played a huge role on Sunday keeping Kelce in check. Jones and Neal are our core speed guys on the kickoff and punt teams.
  22. Last part of last year, Moss was on IR, our RB's were Josh Allen, Motor, and Yeldon, didn't have a lot of options other than to pass. Beasley [also gimpy] was essentially our move the chains offense late last season. I do get worried when our D is on the field for 80 plays.
  23. From the quoted Titans page. -The Bills enter the game with an NFL-record 14 consecutive wins when leading at halftime.
