Bleeding Bills Blue

Will it be on locally in Massachusetts? Gonna be in hostile territory for this one...

He does hold the ball out away from his body while running. He'll learn - On your chest and arm tucked in.

I'd consider it a relatively small sample size - Still not ideal.

Wasn't he a big partier when he was here? ROR that is.

I think the hurst one was on Poyer. The one in this game i think wallace may have screwed up as he wasn't covering anyone underneath in quarters and the pass was completed in his quarter.

I think he has to catch that - he's not going to say anything differently.

Yeah - he was in the conversation in that 2nd level of guys. Gotta remember - He started in 2012 and guys like Bailey and Tillman were still back there. Casey Hayward was really good for a few years when healthy. Sherman was dominant. Peterson was awesome. Haden. Revis. Harris. Talib. Even that jerk Vontae Davis. Norman was awesome with carolina for a couple of years. Peters. Lot of guys who I think were better for a time. He's found his stride and his role. He gets to play man a lot, and he's trusted to do it sometimes with no help. He's making plays when theyre there to be made and just generally taking away half the field. While he was very good here - i don't think he did that.

I'd say white is likely a 1st teamer. There's a few guys who could sneak in as 2nd teamers though. Phillips could sneak into first or 2nd - 9.5 sacks for a DT is a lot, and leads the AFC for interior linemen. Brown has a chance for 2nd team ? Needs a serious push though Sutton, Hopkins, Allen seem like locks and edelman and chark are all right there.

He was good here - but he didn't have the same swagger. He certainly was not even probably top 10 during his tenure here. I think it had a lot to do with the rest of the secondary as a unit under rex. He was always that guy looking around like - wheres my help?

I probably would've passed on first down tbh. I don't like the 3rd down pass since they have a better idea that it's coming.

QB who tends to melt down in mistake filled games.. vs. the team with the most sacks and takeaways in the NFL... who is also starting their third string QB. They knew going in they were going to be conservative. It was the plan.

I've heard of him!

If you drop divisions you may as well just drop playoffs. Do it like they do in soccer - Every team plays each other home and away - best record at the end wins. Could you imagine a 62 game season? It'd take years! People would love it.

From a scheduling perspective it really makes it sooo much easier. AFC east team plays 6 afc east teams - 1 division AFC and NFC half home half away. and 2 games against other teams in their conference that finished in the same spot in the standings. Its super easy. Division winners get to play each other the next season which makes for good prime time games, and it keeps divisional rivalries together. I think adding a 7th playoff team and only giving 1 team Home field and a bye week makes some sense too. You get a 3rd wildcard team and it makes being the best in the conference that much more important.

Sadly it is so much this. Much like every other political debate - sure it makes sense, but we're not going to vote with it unless you give me an extra game on the schedule. My thoughts on Weed and football... It's proven effective as a non-physically addictive pain aid. These guys get beat up daily. Instead we see them abusing opioids and toradol. I don't think weed is something that is going to drive people to need to go to rehab to fix their lives. Testing for drugs of abuse is less about punishing people, and more about making sure people are getting the help they need. They're already smoking it - they're just duping your drug testing systems or smoking weird synthetic stuff you can't test for (that is horrible for you) And on a brief aside - the best QB in my touch football league smokes before every game and it doesn't hinder his on field performance in the slightest. Possibly makes him better... A few too many beers...? Now we're talking...

I mean the purpose of a read option is to make a player decide on you or the back. You're basically blocking them - why can't i hit you under the assumption that i thought you had the ball?

H2H tie over Titans - so if they were to both finish 9-7 and houston wins that division it would be ours - assuming indy/oak/cle all drop a game. Exorcise that demon.

I mean - 2 points is borderline pick-em game. The games in Pittsburgh, in primetime. They've won 4 straight at home, 7 of 8 overall. Their last 5 wins were by fewer than 1 score.

227 on the ground from OJ? dayum.

Brown was open on the previous one where he waited for beasley to uncover. It was a sack.

Signed before ford - was essentially replaced by Bates who also offers positional flexibility. Maybe gets brought back in to compete for the swing tackle job - would be cheaper than Nsekhe's 5.2 million dollar cap hit. Gotta load up on oline though since they get hurt.

I mean - we all knew the oline was really bad in 2018. They signed Morse, Feliciano, Spain, Long, and Nsekhe. None of them save maybe Morse was guaranteed a starting job here either. Drafted Ford in the 2nd to try and continue to improve this unit. Kroft was signed to improve the TEs after finally getting out of the Clay contract. He got hurt and missed a ton of time - it happens. They also drafted 2 TE's in 2019 - Knox looks like he should be a player moving forward. WR's - what do you want here? We went from league worst pass catchers to somewhere... better than the worst WR room in the league. I don't think you can fix an entire unit in one year. Complaining about what he did in 2018 is a bit unfair when you include the fact that the team carried 70 million in dead cap that season. The only 2 big money additions were at positions of need. And when you look at who else was available it isn't like we swung and missed on some sort of all-pro defensive end by signing murphy and Star. We also were assumed by many in the league to have one of the worst rosters in the league... not exactly easy to bring in free agents.

Depth...? People get injured in the NFL

Because he really doesn't put the ball on the ground over the course of his career. He fumbles like 1 every 100 touches... which is actually pretty good. Singletary has 2 fumbles on 141 touches. So he would actually be considered more fumble prone. Then there is the example of sample size. If I don't think 141 touches is a large enough sample to label a player fumble prone - then neither is TJ yeldons 20 touches.

I'm not against taking a TE if there's value there - but i do think we need to evaluate needs at RT, WR, and OLB/DE.
