  1. I hope Frank Reich gets a shot somewhere else. I thought he was good coach, but damn.. that QB position has been a killer for them. The owner having zero patience and pushing crappy patch jobs at the positions doesn't help.
  2. 1. MIA - BAL 2. NYJ - CLE 3. NE - PIT I'll watch a mix of whatever else is on later. None of the other games seem particularly compelling. Maybe SEA-SF to see if another team chokes against the Seahawks
  3. I can't speak to the injury you're referring to, but if the Bills didn't report it and the league didn't punish them for failure to do so then it probably wasn't you think it was.. "With the practice report, all players who have reportable injuries must be listed here, even if the player takes all the reps in practice, and even if the team is certain that he will play in the upcoming game." So there's two possibilities I guess 1. It wasn't a reportable injury (which what a 'reportable' injury is pretty vague). There's all kind of crazy rules like some injuries have to be reported for 'key' players or player that would have increased media interest, but wouldn't have to be reported for you 3rd running back who may or may not be active. 2. They don't have to report it every single day. It's 3 days before the game for the practice report and a game status report 1-2 days before the game(depending on the day they play)
  4. The Bills have no excuses at all this year, but the Titans are not missing 'several' key players. They don't have 'several' players on the injury report. The only 'key' player is Fulton. The other two are a backup running back and backup lineman.
  5. 78% of players listed as questionable end up active on game day. Also, Probable was dropped years ago.
  6. You guys realize if a guy stubs his toe that he has to be on the injury report, right?
  7. I assume you're paying the $3 for someone to take it?
  8. Herbert hurt.. that's what you get for running as a QB..
  9. He had two hands on it and made a football move pulling it in.. that's a pick
  10. The 1st one was seriously suspect. This one was pretty obvious.
  11. I'm watching through a web browser and it's available.
  12. It must be all the running he's been doing tonight..
  13. Get serious. Let's start comparing the holders for kicks.
  14. It was an awful trade when they made it. He was a very limited player who gets confused when the ball is in the air. Given that it's been a passing league.. trading 2 1sts for safety that is really an undersized linebacker was stupid. Not to mention he made it very clear he wanted a new blockbuster contract. Seahawks are a better team with him off the field. So giving him an insane contract to try to make the trade not look so bad was doubling down and could very well be a big part of the current regime in Seattle not being current for long.
  15. I wonder how many times we're gonna see this over the next few years
  16. The numbers are based on the % of inquiry numbers being thrown around are per 'type' of play (ie being "in the pocket" has had more injuries per play than designed QB runs). "Running" QBs (and all QBs) are injured at a higher % on non-running plays. For example, Cam Newton's first big injury was trying to make a tackle on an interception. RGIII got injured trying to recover a fumble. There's a narrative that 'running' QBs take hits that take a toll over their careers, but there's very little data on that because Pocket Passers have generally been the prevalence and there have been very few "elite" running QBs over the history of the game to really have a comparison compared to pocket passers who are promising then flame out. I think this is a confused take because RGIII just wasn't a good QB. He made up for that by running, but by getting injured (in the pocket recovering a fumble) he remove his ability to make plays running and then couldn't pass well enough. It's hard to argue that he had been in the league (and college) long enough for the 'hits to accumulate' making his body weaker. He just wasn't a complete player. I'd also suppose that age is much more dangerous to running QBs than the 'hits' they take running the ball. That said, I'm 100% on board with limiting the designed runs. I think they're stupid, but because of the 'injury risk', but because I believe Allen is more dangerous with his arm and 'option' to scramble if it breaks down on most plays.
  17. Curious, who took more hits last season, Allen or Burrow?
