  1. Another four years of POTUS and Congress fighting.
  2. I feel like I missed something
  3. If we're going to miss the playoffs, I'd hope for a complete collapse. Instead we'll likely go 4-4 so we can miss the playoffs and get another mediocre draft spot.
  4. Sacks are great and all, but it'd be nice to stop an opposing team on 3rd down.
  5. I thought everyone agreed that the gameplan was horrible on both sides. Needless to say, I agree with the OP. The run game is our strength, we abandoned it. That goaline sequence especially annoyed me.
  6. "Players" are human. Some are weak minded. Is Stephon? I have no clue.
  7. ...I remember plenty of players being 'trouble', even without the internet blowing every little thing up
  8. What am I grasping at? That trade rumors might impact player psyche? Especially a player in a contract year who is already struggling? Whatever, I guess I'll grasp on out of here.
  9. Does it really matter if its a 'fact' or not? It plants the seed of doubt.
  10. Wonder if Gilmore will play even worse now that he knows the Bills don't want him.
  11. Didn't we finish like 4-12 when we went after 'character' guys?
  12. I guess I'm alone in keeping my expectations to him helping out while we're missing Sammy. If he lasts longer, awesome. I'm thinking he's a few game rental, and that's about it. Which I'm totally fine with.
  13. Just to clarify, you're saying this: "The department’s policy allows its employees to determine which emails are work-related and must be preserved. “Messages that are not records may be deleted when no longer needed,” according to the State Department’s Foreign Affairs Manual (5 FAM 443.5)." Is untrue. I'm not familiar with the State Department's policies. Could you clarify what their actual policy is?
  14. To touch on turnovers vs punting... I think averages on drives tell us a lot about a team's ability to control a game. (I'm aware this isn't all on Tyrod, but lets face it, our run game is pretty good on average) Bills offense: 2nd in TO% 9th pts per drive 12th in Score% 21st in plays per drive 19th in yards per drive 23rd in time per drive Defense: 25th in time per drive 16th in yards per drive I don't have facts to back this up, but the above to me points to an unsustainable way of winning, if we aren't controlling possession and maintaining drives, the defense will wear out as the game continues, making it more difficult for us to win. Scoring quickly is nice, but the downside is, it puts a lot of pressure on our defense to end the opposition's drives quickly, as well. Frankly, I'd rather we risk a couple more turnovers if it means we sustain more drives at the same time.
  15. I don't understand being mad about this?
  16. He was productive while he was healthy... if he can stay healthy until Sammy comes back, it'll help our offense tremendously. But we still have no chance at the playoffs, so I'm not sure why we're bothering.
  17. http://www.factcheck.org/2016/10/spinning-the-fbi-letter/ Thought this was a good round up of where things stand. Not sure if PPP approves of fact checking sites though?
  18. Sorry, but no. Missing Brady is a much bigger deal than who we are missing.
  19. This is where I'm at. EJ still checks the boxes on paper, and he had a really ****ty development arc, so its worth seeing what he can do before he hits FA. I'd give him a pretty short leash though, and then maybe see what Cardale has going. We have 8 games to play with it, I'm already counting us as out of the playoffs. I think after last year, no one really expected elite defense, where as after last year's encouraging season, most of us expected Tyrod to improve.
  20. They were 3-1 without him. He's great and all, but the staff/franchise is also quality these days.
  21. Mike still gets yards even when Shady isn't in, we just don't use him (I assume because his foot is bothering him)
  22. If it helps us have fewer three and outs, I'll take a few turnovers. If we start at the 20, and throw an INT to the 50, thats basically the same as us punting sometimes, so why not.
  23. Tyrod is a middle of the pack QB at best. And those only bring playoffs/championships with an elite defense. We do not have an elite defense. We do not have a good QB. We will not make the playoffs. Same as every !@#$ing year.
  24. You think we didn't give Rob Johnson enough time to develop as a starter?
