The offense does its part by scoring 21 points? How low are your expectations?

I think a trade would have broken through the media before the collateral damage release

They do. I’ve often seen 3rd string practice squad QBs on the bench throughout the years (or so I think!)

Agreed. But trades happen every day of the week Mario for Skelton?

Russel hustle bustle man-muscle Wilson Big fan. Plus I got him in fantasy (along with Gurley, KJ Wright and Donte Fowler Jr)

Played Division-III ball for my four years in school. Awesome experience, as everyone there was playing because they loved the game, and had no other motivations. My freshman year was spent as the LS and 3rd string TE. I was thrust into a starting role at TE due to an injury early in my sophomore year and held onto the job through my Senior season, when I was a team captain. I played with a couple of stud players (LB, WR, QB) who had pro-days of sorts and some went on to play elsewhere after graduation (professionally in Germany, indoor, semi-pro). I also played against Ali Marpet. We scrimmaged Hobart before the season started. Well, I didn’t actually play against him given that I was an offensive player, but collectively we did. Kind of a cool thing IMO. I had no shot at football after college, but it was a really great time while it lasted. Met my best friends there that I still have to this day, and made connections with players/coaches that still come in handy every once and a while. Another random factoid for those UB Bull fans out there: I was a member of the team that broke Lance Leipold’s 36-0 win streak with DIII national champions Wisconsin Whitewater. Craziest game I’ve ever been a part of.

Josh’s concussion thread is 40 plus pages. Patrick’s is 2. Imagine how that makes him feel. Come on fellas, sympathy post to boost his morale!

Totally thought that said Gronkowski

You can get ordained online for free in about 15 minutes answering 3 questions by a whole gaggle of ministries. We had a good friend ordained to lead our wedding ceremony. It is becoming more and more common. When you complete the “test” online to earn your “credentials” some of the sites allow you to select a title (yes, even Dalai Lama was a choice). Idk if he has any religious beliefs or not, but just about anybody could be a “revered” with the click of a mouse.

I may be in the minority but all things being considered, i’d rather Allen sit this one out even if he is healthy. Sitting this game regardless of his health will allow him a full three weeks to get his mind right too. It can be a reset of sorts. The way he played on Sunday was down-right awful and I don’t think a break from action, disguised by the injury, is the worst thing for him. Secondly, I’m not all that sure how much it is going to hurt the team right now. Barkley is serviceable, healthy and can get all the practice reps and preparation at full speed. Give that to him and the “process” should take care of the rest. One day it’s my hope that missing Allen from a game will be crippling to this franchise because he’s evolved into an MVP level player who can carry this team. That day is not today. Trust your “process” and get his mind right. Refocus those fundamentals and prep for the three game home stand coming out of the bye. Big picture, folks. IMO

Who cares what the national perception is. If he doesn’t produce well on the field, it won’t matter anyways. At some point, if the crazy INTs keep happening...and I mean the ones that are completely egregious and avoidable, some players need to start letting him here it too. Maybe not on the sideline, but someone needs to get it through his head. Maybe it will take the players who he is hurting with these decisions to do that

Would you rather he just smile and pat him on the back?

I’m also a doctor and I think he is fine.

Everyone was super excited about a pancake block he had on a TD run a couple of weeks ago. I said in preseason, this dude is not well adapted to handle the edge. He needs to be moved inside for the remainder of the year.

Depends what you mean by making plays? Sacks? Fumbles? While we all want those and hope they’re still to come, he was constantly getting in brady’s face today and forcing him to move his feet. He he has been disruptive, just not in a measurable way like many of us want to see.

McDermott needs to get angry at his own guys every once and a while. I can’t take it anymore. Light a fire under some of these young guys. They don’t need to be coddled and encouraged, they need to be held to higher standards was that cry baby enough for ya?

OL is terrible in pass pro. That last play saw three guys blocking 1 rusher with Morse standing around holding his jock while a pass rusher had a free release in the edge to the QB. This was all game long. Bobby johnson gets a lot of credit for his hoo-rah coaching style but god, I can’t help but wonder how prepared they were up front

How does one decipher criticism from cry-baby complaining? I’m having a tough time

Right because all of those bad passes to Zay while he was wide open at least twice was really on him.

The inactives this week definetly reflect the willingness to 'process' and get their guys truly healthy, not rushing anyone back from injury too soon

I’m with @thebandit27 no use in shaking things up... coffee mowing the lawn hanging the flag a little work to make Monday easier start the meal prep dominate the pats

He was, and by many accounts still is, a very nice guy. As far as the music is concerned...

If you aren’t tailgating already, you aren’t doing your part. Go Bills.

Can we start a new thread for reg season and have a separate thread for @JohnC ? Just kidding man, I’m relatively new to hockey and like reading your knowledgeable perspective. That being said, this beast is getting large. Is it possible to break the Sabres season into weeks or at least months, as to make it readable if we fall behind?

I’ll get you guys autographs
