These deadline deals rarely work in football. Its not like hockey. If the Bills could have pulled a deal like Florida getting Marchand this year that would have been amazing. But I am disappointed that they didnt add any depth. The Cowboys Jets trade for Williams might have been nice but the Bills just dont have the cap room? or the price was too high? Maybe the Jets dont trade in their division?
Another broadcast legend from my youth dead. Joining Cosell, Meredith, Gifford, Madden, Summeral, Endberg, Olsen, Charlie Jones and the great Van Miller. Lots of great memories from Trumpy, some classic games and some memorable Bills ones.
I will give credit where it is due.
1. Way better from Brady, decent play selection overall, Cook was awesome. But got too conservative on the playcalls on a few drives and at the end. Also can we please throw a true deep ball one of these games?
2. Way better from the defense. Great pressure and pretty good against the run. but Hoecht injury is just unfair. He was playing great and really seemed to elevate the rest of the D. I am also glad that McD and Babich figured out that rushing the QB on a Hail Mary was better strategy than giving him all day to throw. We've seen the end of that stupid movie too many times
3. I would be very interested in a study of McD's defensive time out usage and the subsequent play? Is it a myth that they backfire or accurate?
