  1. Getting out played by Ryan Fitzpatrick while playing against the worst defense in the NFL IS Allen’s fault. Tebow defense
  2. We played the 0-5 DOLPHINS and mustered 3 FG’s in the first half and that’s almost taking over the game??? They have the worst defense in points allowed, yards allowed, passing TD’s allowed. Am I taking crazy pills? I watched a wide open John Brown waving his arms BEGGING for the ball past the sticks and Allen stared down Knox and checked it down short of a first down right in front of him.
  3. Imagine needing a comeback against a historically bad 0-5 time. I swear, some of you would praise Allen for a comeback if the Bills beat Texas Tech by a point.
  4. Allen’s best career game was his second start. You know what other Bills QB’s best game was his second start?
  5. Like today. Today the Bills D didn’t show up in the first half and the offense couldn’t pick up the slack AT ALL. Just once, can the offense carry the defense? I guess that’s too much to ask our QB to do once in his career.
  6. Maybe that’s your simple definition but it isn’t mine.
  7. I care a lot how he does it because it’s imperative that he’s a good QB.
  8. C+. Allen needs his coming out game to come quickly. I would have preferred him to look like a star versus the Dolphins like virtually every other decent QB has looked like against them. The clock is ticking, IMO.
  9. We are seeing why Beane made some calls about Eli. This QB is a joke.
  10. No need to follow the conversation when you’re trying to have a conversation? Okay, I’m going to stop following this one lol
  11. If you followed the conversation, I initially stated that I don’t think we’ll score a lot of touchdowns. Someone else brought up that stat and stated that’s why they disagreed. Follow the conversation The Bills are 24th in 3D conversions, so no. ”Fixing turnovers and sacks and third downs and we’ll score a lot” is terrible analysis. Might as well just say play better and we’ll play better. Maybe we can try to complete more passes, run for more yards, break more tackles and get more first downs in our quest to fix our offensive woes.
  12. Turnovers are part of the reason, sure. So are taking sacks to put us out of FG position, not converting on third down, etc etc. Obviously if you get better at all that we play better lol.
  13. Your ability to miss a point is breathtaking. We are 25th in points scored in the NFL. Who cares if our RZ percentage is great if we A. Don’t score when we aren’t within the red zone and B. Don’t get to the red zone a lot. It’s misleading because to point to our red zone efficiency to say we are good at scoring is inaccurate and wrong. We are still 25th in points scored. I understand that we are efficient in the red zone, we still do not score a lot of TD’s and we still don’t score a lot of points. This “trend” continuing would constitute us remaining efficient in the red zone but only getting there 2-3 times and not really scoring points otherwise.
  14. They do score TD’s, just not long TD’s. They don’t make many big plays. Seeing as the red zone is only the 20 and FG range is the 35-40, that stat is a little misleading.
  15. I’m also a physician. I’m not sure “assuming” there’s chronic OTC NSAID use at home is valid. The greivance is about the Toradol use on the sideline. AFAIK, Osmele isn’t complaining they are making him take ibuprofen at home. We can just as easily assume that isn’t the case, as there’s no evidence. Those studies on Toradol usage and their increased risk of GI side effects vs other NSAIDs are almost certainly not based on one time use. And I think we can BOTH assume physicians are not going to these players’ homes to inject them on Monday. I have no idea if 1x usage weekly has been studied, but I’d imagine with the focus on performance in the NFL also warrants lab monitoring. If I was slapping a player with Toradol every week, I’d check a creatinine a couple times. Ditto for GI prophylaxis if NSAID use was chronic. AFAIK, there isn’t a malpractice claim concurrent with this issue. In regards to ethics, we get into sticky situations when it is in a performance standard industry. Is it industry standard to use Toradol for pain control so the players can perform? Is their reasonable suspicion that Osmele does not require immediate surgery based on the facts we’ve been presented? Obviously I err on the side of anonymity. And this is a huge reason why I don’t do Worker Comp or medical grievances or work for any kind of company. My purview is the best treatment for the patient, regardless of employment status or work concerns or what their employer thinks. Some physicians do forensic medicine, many times in psychiatry for example, to give statements that the patient’s story or symptomatology is inconsistent with the illness they are claiming. Again, that stuff ain’t for me.
  16. I see lots of FG’s and not a lot of TD’s. We just aren’t explosive. Bills 22 - 6
  17. I think Richie said he was experiencing kidney failure at one point but with factors of dehydration, transient multifactorial AKI’s are the more likely explanation, that are misinterpreted as “kidney failure” by football players without a medical background. Well he was traded for a fifth round pick for a reason. Not sure he was touted as the “answer.”
  18. So you’re partially right here. Toradol isn’t used for chronic pain but the definition of NFL pain isn’t entirely chronic. GI side effects of toradol can be avoided with GI prophylaxis. I don’t have experience on the field but using Toradol once a week may also be preventative of its side effects. Most regimens of Toradol acutely is every 6 hours for 1-5 days. And it needs to be stopped after 5. Getting a single shot at 11 am on Sunday is a lot less. Also, Toradol and corticosteroids are not contradinicated to use together. You are at increased risk of GI side effects but that’s it.
  19. It was a disaster signing because he was injured. Medical practices board lol
