  1. Bernard is the midget wrestler who can. Edmunds would be Keuchly if he had Bernard's instincts and effort.
  2. And what's worse is that Bears wouldn't have had to top up what they paid Tremaine very much to meet Smith's demands. The contracts are similar. The players are not. Look what Smith has done for Raven's D. If I were a Bears fan I'd be livid.
  3. With a good line he can certainly help give a team a decent running game and I'm glad that he is doing well as Colts main back. But to me he's pretty much JAG and I suspect that there are many NFL RBs who could do as well in similar circumstances. He did not have what it takes to transition to the NFL and be the same player as he was at Utah. Maybe this could have been seen in his measurables. At 200 Lbs he was unlikely to develop into a bruising power back that could stay healthy at this level of play. Maybe if he carried an extra 20 he'd have the bulk. A guy like Gibbs is about the same size and can break tackles and make violent contact but he's not only much faster but much more explosive.
  4. Washington’s O leads the League in chunk plays, albeit not against a top defence so far. Bills D gives up chunk plays. Could be interesting. Eager to see how Josh makes out against another elite front. Bills are a better team and should win but I’m not expecting a blowout.
  5. So Captain Hindsight had foresight.
  6. Yeah. And his passing pretty much sucked as well.
  7. Must say I was surprised by Watson's play. What I remember was the guy he was in Houston - one of the top dual threat QBs in the league. All facets of his game appear to have uniformly deteriorated substantially. Maybe being away from the game for an extended period of time destroys a players ability to regain his form. Question then is whether he can recover or whether it's terminal. It spelled the end for Le'Veon Bell and it's got to be worse still for a player who has to execute with every snap and from whom so much is expected. The real takeaway is regrettably a career threatening injury to one of the indisputably great players in the game. You could see early on that he was in top form and was really going to roll last night.
  8. True, especially since he's unlikely to get better until he's healthy.
  9. Bengals and Burrow have yet to record a first down. Oops wrong thread.
  10. TBH I didn't understand your hostility. He's been a good back for a long time. And he still is.
  11. Everybody knows that except Dorsey.
  12. Johnny Wilson more likely to be in range.
  13. Check with the hotel beforehand. Should 100% be good.
  14. Re sports bars I should have mentioned that there are a number of them downtown. Obviously they all would have NFL games. I'm sure you can google it. I have for years been watching from home so I can't really recommend one over another.
  15. Anyone with cable in Quebec has TSN. The French language equivalent is RDS. I'd expect your hotel would have both. They get the US network feeds. La Cage is a decent sports bar/restaurant close to downtown but there is no Bills bar to my knowledge. They certainly carry NFL games. My cable package gives some network channels from Ontario (Kitchener and City TV Toronto) which usually carry Bills Sunday games. As a backup and to access specific games that would not otherwise be available I subscribe to DAZN.
  16. I think you are probably right. More arm arrogance than anything else.
  17. He would have to break him of bad habits. When Josh plays like he did on Monday he looks a whole lot like Trey. Neither one of them can see that safety in coverage. Only question becomes whether the pass is good enough to be intercepted.
  18. Josh Jacobs gonna truck him I fear.
  19. Idk about the process but sometimes I think McD is fundamentally different, philosophically and temperamentally, than his stars on offence, who are high strung and sometimes overly aggressive. I wonder whether some of his in game decisions can have an adverse effect on momentum. I could be wrong but I didn’t agree with the decision to decline the 10 yard penalty in favour of forcing a fourth down and field goal attempt. To me it shows a lack of appreciation of the risk/reward profile. The most likely outcome if you accept the call is that the field goal attempt must negotiate a longer distance. Maybe doesn’t mean that much given the field position but I’d take it. After that there is probably as much a chance of a TO than there is of Wilson being able to accomplish a long third down conversion. This is Wilson, not Arod. Those three points were given away and they wound up being important.
