No thanks. We have LBs, CBs, and DTs that will need to be re-signed on their second contracts. Don't need another Carolina player coming here, on their 3rd contract.

I think this means pretty well every quarterback in the league, starter or backup, is incredibly competent under perfect conditions. They would not be in the NFL if that were not true. But remove some of the perfection of the conditions and most of those QBs look ordinary.

He has a free rusher right on top of him. That was not a bad election given the play called and what was in front of him. But the play call was poor.

Right side looked much improved yesterday. WR corps is set, IMO. These plus having Singletary back (in addition to the between-the-tackles tape Gore has already put down) will open up the deep ball.

I think the issue here is he thought it was a post but the toss goes to the back shoulder. His adjustment was pretty rough. Knox made that catch yesterday on that pass to the left sideline.

Answer to the original question of "who accuses someone of three rapes?": Someone who is gainfully employed by the accuser. Tons of women go through repeated assaults because they're economically engaged or trapped by the employer. Answer to the comment this was two assaults + one rape: So? Doesn't excuse it and the above applies.

Hard for Zay to reel it in when he's being bear-hugged. No-call on that was bad.

ANNIE That's right -- when I was growing up in Bakersfield, my favorite thing in all the world was to go to the movies on Saturday afternoons for the chapter plays... PAUL (it just comes out) -- cliff-hangers -- ANNIE (suddenly angry) I know that, Mister Man -- they also call them serials. I'm not stupid, you know. Anyway, my favorite was Rocket Man, and once it was a no-brakes chapter, the bad guys stuck him in a car on a mountain road and knocked him out and welded the doors shut and tore out the brakes and started him to his death and he woke up and tried to steer and tried to get out, but the car went off a cliff before he could escape and it crashed and burned and -- I was so upset and excited and the next week you better believe I was first in line and they always start with the end of the last week and there was Rocket Man trying to get out, and here came the cliff and JUST BEFORE the car went off he jumped free and all the kids cheered -- (standing up now) - but I didn't cheer, I stood right up and started shouting, "This isn't what happened last week -- have you all got amnesia? -- THEY JUST CHEATED US -- THIS WASN'T FAIR --" ANNIE "HE DIDN'T GET OUT OF THE COCKADOODIE CAR!"

The kid put the team on his back and converted on the opportunities given him. The bomb to Foster was gorgeous and there were multiple key drops by receivers, yet the yards / attempt were a gaudy 8.9. Yeah, the D was great, but I think people are correct in viewing this as a leader taking control of a team and not squandering the standout performance of one unit. We've seen that so many times in the last 20 years it's refreshing to see the team convert and lock down the game essentially by halftime. Therefore, we get no fun stats in the second half except a "W."

Fantasy football is really warping people's ability to analyze with a critical eye the context of a particular players's and team's statistics. Allen couldn't have thrown better passes to Foster and KB, both of which were drops, and the offense went into cryostatis in the third quarter to ice the game.

25-37, 342 yards, 3 TD, 2 INT

Guy put Cincy in a position to win in a playoff game, winning 2 of 3 games at the end of the season to get them there as well. Kid's been a winner at all levels and hasn't shown what he can do as the starter. Why blow all these lush picks reaching for someone hasn't demonstrated the same when we have so many other needs? I'd like to see us move down a few picks, grab more draft capital for this year or next, and fill the roster with rookie talent in all the other necessary areas. Play the 2-3 year plan the way it's been shown to work.

Man, you gotta play to the whistle. Would you guys have turned off the Houston comeback game when we went down 35-3? Just suspend judgement til the final gun.

As a lifelong Bills fan, I've lived in DC, Baltimore, Chicago, and Madison, WI. Now FL. I've never entertained the idea of adopting another AFC team. Can't do it. But in NFC towns, I thought, maybe I can warm up to this team. Could never do it until I lived in Madison. The Pack and the Bills are soulmates across conference lines. Pack fans do know pain. From 1973-1992, they went to the playoffs once and lost in the second round. So why are we claiming "you don't know our pain?" Welcome, friend. Ignore the sniveling whiners who apparently don't know how Google works and believe NFL history started in 1993.

Who do you think was at the center of the "bickering Bills" episode, shooting his mouth off?

Check out EJ Gaines wasting the left WR at the bottom left of your screen as the receiver starts his cross.

Move Tyrod to WR (and QB3), just press Peterman into action. Boom. Tyrod's not a jerk and will play out his last year as a Bill that way (and hey, maybe catch lightning in a bottle).

I lived in DC for three years and just couldn't warm up to the Skins, especially a few years removed from the beat down in Super Bowl XXVI. Then I lived in Baltimore for 11 years. The team won the Super Bowl the first year I lived there and I just couldn't get into another AFC team, especially as this was a former AFC East opponent's town. I saw some good football, but my reaction was "meh." I lived in Madison, WI from 2012-2016 and loved the Badgers. Buffalo wasn't a big NCAA football town growing up, so I wasn't in love with the college game til I lived there. It's very much a game day feeling at Camp Randall. I guess that was the gateway to adopting the Packers as my NFC team. Similar franchises, minus the rings, and similar people. Back in Buffalo now after being away for 22 years. Will always like the Pack, but will always love the Bills.

A ball thrown with any force, in rhythm, is much faster than a quarterback on the run. Scientific *fact.*

Yes, he does. Make Ravens' AGM Eric DeCosta a highly autonomous GM. Time for a promotion, Eric. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_DeCosta

It's 2002 and Amazon JUST printed a profit for the first time? Sell it! SELL IT! "Hey, honey! Junior just took another few steps!" WHAT? SELL HIM. Not progressing quickly enough! You know who sucked his first two seasons? Total bust. Let's blow it up! Yeah, Eric Moulds. Extend Tyrod (again) and he's the bottom half of QB starter salaries in third year of extension. The Greatest Show on Turf would have been the Greatest Show on Turd on that field today. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? When the going gets tough...the tough get going! Who's with me?! Ahhhhhhh!

So did Big Ben.

Not sure what game people were watching, but Tyrod was throwing darts over the middle of the field, hitting WR and TE. Putting a spy on him to keep him in the pocket forces the issue and also keeps LBers wide. That opens up the middle. A good complete game for our QB in those conditions. The fact people want to run him out of town after, what, 28 starts, is crazy. QBs don't develop overnight. This is like the people who sold Amazon in 2001 because it was immature and wasn't producing earnings. You have to take a longer view in investing and in the development of QBs. Some develop early, some later. It would be a mistake not to extend Tyrod given his development and tools (including his intelligence).

I watched that game on YouTube last winter (watched it live on TV way back when and always loved this game). I remembered the Beebe helicopter and other big plays, but hadn't remembered how brilliant #34 had been, especially in the second half. A few days later, I'm on a JetBlue flight to JFK and lo and behold, Thurman was three rows behind me. So I stopped to say his and said I had watched the game that weekend, remarking what a tremendous game he had had. Either Thurman was tired or not an extrovert, but let's just say there wasn't too much acknowledgement of my comments on enthusiasm. Regardless of his interpersonal comportment, it was a hell of a game and one for the ages.

No it's not. I remember thinking how good Welker was when he was in Miami. The move to a more creative system and a good QB really screwed up his career, huh? If Hogan goes to NE, I'm saying he gets 70 grabs for 825 yards and 5 TDs.
