Yes, I believe it. It's plain to see why. The guy is a leader of men. The offense will improve when the interior OL gets upgraded. The all 22 shows guys running open all day. Just need a QB to hit them (not throw behind them) and that is accomplished by better interior OL play.

Barnwell thinks it was done to give both sides flexibility for an eventual parting of ways... http://grantland.com/the-triangle/tom-brady-new-england-patriots-contract/

Right Bow, makes sense. I just meant some folks become adept at avoiding those tells once the learn what they are. I think we are on the same page generally speaking.

You know why Whaley made the trade? Lemme guess, sources deep within? *edit* Re-read this, realized it comes off confrontational. Not my intent. Just pointing out that you have no idea what Whaley wanted.

I can't imagine a scenario where moving up to get Watkins was a panic move. Whaley's mistake, IMO, was in the PR department, when he said he expected Watkins to be the player to get the Bills to the playoffs.

Fascinating, cutting edge stuff. The only issue I see is with this being made public, i.e. if I play for the Bucks and I'm a known sulker when things go poorly, I may deliberately change my countenance knowing that a guy that has my boss' ear is tracking my facial expressions. That said, it's yet another way to analyze contributions to team performance and I applaud it.

Horrible thread.

Watched the game with another Bills fan today and he and I agreed on this.

Those days are over 2232. Sweep November, split December. 11-5.

The next four games are all winnable. Entirely plausible to sitting at 9-3 heading into December.

Why would a fan of any team 'worry' about an opponent? If my team wins, yay, and if they lose, bummer. But I certainly won't be 'worrying' about any of their tilts. Let me guess, you are from Saugus, no wait, Braintree.

Gronkowski missed his entire JR year and then declared. How is that a miss?

Watkins is a stud. It's not every day that you get a chance to collect a player of his caliber. Who cares what they paid? According to most here the Bills have blown their first round picks for the past ten years. Why would they suddenly expect next year's first rounder to be a surefire thing? In 2009 that first and fourth was Aaron Maybin and Shawn Nelson. In 2010 it was Spiller and Easley. It boggles the mind. If you could trade Aaron Maybin and Shawn Nelson right now for Watkins would you do it?

Revis hardly shut down AJ Green. 5-81-1 is a great day.

Do the Pegulas get Ralph's Taurus?

Yup, just like baseball. If one is, they all are.

Agreed mrags. I'm sure they are, and everything else.

What's my issue? You don't see the slippery slope? Player X gets injured and uses HGH to recover and comes back bigger, faster, and stronger than ever. This advantage causes him to beat out player Y for player Y's previously held spot. Player Y is well aware of Player X's use of HGH to recover from his injury and attributes Player X's use of said hormone to the loss of Player Y's job. Suddenly Player Y gets an "injury" that requires HGH to recover from. Dude, the entire league will be on HGH in less than a year. How do you not see that?

Who WEO? Dr. Feelgood? Seriously?

Mario for Skelton?

No WEO. Because I've seen the same story in baseball. "Because he got to EJ"? Really? Your myopia does not serve you well. Grow up man.

A win here would be huge, because after this week, which admittedly is dicey, there are seven wins in a row sitting there for the taking. Look at the sked. If Orton can simply be average, there isn't a game between 10/12 and 11/30 that could be considered an automatic loss.

JJ Watt.
