There is also the question of BPA. I know that WR is a need. But, it's not our only need. Beane, and company have been pretty good about drafting BPA, with our needs in mind. It's very hard to predict who BPA is at the middle of the board, where we will certainly be. But, if there's a better edge rusher than WR, that's what we're going to get.

Your description of Tyler sounds similar to the descriptions of Zay Jones when he was drafted. I'm not saying this as a bash on Jones, but I don't think its the kind of WR we need. We need a guy with an exceptional catch radius, and high pointing ability. I have more trepidation with guys who are described as "NFL ready" than I do with guys described as "athletic freaks." I feel like I could get behind an athletic freak.

Not sure how well this is going to fly, but I'm just going to leave this out here: https://sports.theonion.com/nfl-rescinds-myles-garrett-suspension-after-review-foot-1839896771

As someone who has worked freelance for close to 30 years, my perception is that Enunwa has a legitimate beef, and good reason to be upset, but he really should have kept his mouth, and Twitter account shut. Revenge is a dish best served cold, and quiet. This Twitter tantrum may, or may not hurt his reputation, but it definitely won't help!

It's official: WE WON THE OFFSEASON! (..again...)

This is like an annual thread, right?

Really depends on which Fitz shows up. If it were poor, sad-sack Rosen, we'd beat the snot out of them.

Ray Rice?

Well, Gore has 73 yards left to Pass Barry Sanders. He's still on track to reach that milestone. But, he averaged 1.4 ypc on 11 carries the week before last, and only got five carries this last week for 2.4 ypc. That is paltry. He needs a good game vs. Miami this week.

I'm really not so mad at this game, because there really wasn't anything surprising. I think a lot of Bills fans on here had convinced themselves that "the Brown will always suck," that they were utterly worthy of their 2-6 record, and their win over the Ravens was an "any given Sunday" fluke. But, I think most of us knew that the Bills still have a ways to go. Did we really think that Allen's progression as a QB was complete? Did we think that Knox is suddenly elite? Do we think we suddenly have an elite #1WR? It's the same group of guys out there, slowly improving as a team, but still missing a true playmaker.

I thing it's going to come down to which team scores more points.

Were you lying next to a broken, smoldering table?

Maybe some tech savvy fans can sneak into the visitor's locker room, and find, and disable the hidden microphones.

I have mixed feelings on the guy. I like a comeback story, myself. It's why I'm such a Duke Williams fan. Ritchie has struggled with mental health, and when football is finally done with him, the struggles will only get harder. But, there are other issues that give me pause. His history of bullying behavior, not just in regards to Martin, and his time with the Dolphins, but the times he has physically intimidated, and threatened strangers in places like a public gym, or a funeral parlor. These things point to some serious character flaws that I find hard to empathize with. I will certainly watch the segment on Real Sports, though. But, as far as whether he should be in the NFL, there are certainly much worse than him.

You’d be better off stealing it banana for earlobe.

Why?

I don't think he can see your post.

i think so...

Sheesh. If you're going to misrepresent my post, have the good taste to do it in the thread in which it was written.

This is one of the stupidest things I've ever read. If you have that many people on ignore, I would have to suspect that you are somewhat closed-minded. And, if that is the case, you're not really going to know it. Nobody actually thinks they are closed-minded. You'll probably put me on ignore now, if I'm not there already. Don't leave out self-criticism! I think the board could use a lot more of that. At least, I know I'm an idiot.

If you google "smartest man in sports" you will find Fitzy mentioned in numerous articles. (Not "smartest man in the NFL," mind you-- smartest man in sports). He's 36, now, and is really one of the best journeyman backups out there-- a guy who can slide into the starting role and win games, which he has done for all 8 teams he has played for except his first, the Rams (0-3 as a starter for the Rams). He's on a two-year contract with Miami. Hard to imagine that Miami will be the last team he plays for. Wonder who he's going to play for next?

I basically agree with this-- I think it is likely he will get the opportunity to continue to produce, and I very much hope he does. On the other hand..... He had 11 carries vs. Washington, and averaged 1.4 ypc. Singletary averaged 4.8. If Gore has another week like that, one has to assume they're going to start limiting his touches. And, given the short-yardage situational role they're already using him in now... I really hope he has a good game vs. the Browns.

After last week's performance vs. Washington, and the latest emergence of Motor, it's easy to imagine that Gore's touches are going to become more limited going forward. Hopefully, last week's drop in production is less a symptom of Gores age, and more a case of the way he was used-- Jauronball, as GunnerBill called it. With that in mind, I do hope he gets the opportunity to get another 85 yards, which would place him as the second all-time NFL rusher, passing Barry Sanders.

Guess I wouldn’t really miss the Dolphins.

This thread is some crazy homerism, sure. But, ask yourself a couple of questions: 1) In the first half of this season, has Josh Allen improved, remained the same, or declined? I think most would agree that, the Eagles game notwithstanding, he has, from game to game, incrementally improved. 2) In the first half of this season, has Tom Brady* improved, remained the same, or declined? I think one could make a sound argument that Brady* is in decline. It is not outside the realm of possibility that the Bills win this division.
