  1. I can't remember the exact point in the game, but it was late and the Bills were trying to drive. Sammy had the ball and was running for a critical 1st down and instead of plowing forward he just dove to the ground and I was almost positive he was short. I think it got called back for a penalty anyway but it reminded me of Orton's slide last week short of the first.

     

    Did anyone else see that? If that kid isn't still hurt I'm really, really concerned with his avoidance of contact. Wasn't one of the things he was known for in college plowing over defenders? I've seen him go down to avoid contact all season.

  2. If they can shut down Manning and Rodgers, then why not? The one caveat is how do they deal with Gronk?

     

    Because The Bills rarely play Rodgers or Manning. On the other hand, they play Tom Brady and Bill Bellichick twice a year every year. They've proven for a decade and a half that they can gameplan to completely dominate whatever roster the Bills have on the field and pull out a win. Brady's career record against the Bills is like 23-2. Also, they haven't lost a conference game at home in almost like 7 years.

  3. Whaley ay well be safe as on the fly personnel decisions like Thigpen and Rambo are paying off big time.

     

    Whaley is probably the biggest asset in the entire franchise. The Bills would be insane to let him go. How many GMs in the league can you say have made as many brilliant moves as he has over the past 2 years?

     

    -Getting Kiko in the second round

    -The Jerry Hughes trade

    -Preston Brown, Corey Graham

    -Finding Robey as an undrafted free agent

    -Thigpen and Rambo

     

    Kiko and the Jerry Hughes trade would be enough to him in the "some of the best moves of any GM over the past 2 years" category. The rest is just icing on the cake. Preston Brown has played every defensive snap as a rookie and is looking like a steal for us. Graham has played above his billing in the secondary. Robey has turned into one of the best slot corners in the league. Thigpen and Rambo have surprised me these past couple weeks.

     

    Whaley definitely has an eye for hidden talent.
