Its the NFL every game is important. Seems like its easy to say this is the most important game of the year this week, every week. Imo this is more crucial than winning in ATL. I thought winning at ATL would be the best win for some national recognition but conference road games are much more important for seeding and standing purposes at the end of the year. The Bengals have a good amount of weapons. There weakness has been their O line. They have a stingy defense as well. Zay is going to have to make a few plays down the field for the Bills to win. He is getting open a good amount but this week he needs to make the big plays that Matthews has been good for this year.
-
It comes down to the young guys taking a step up in production. Matt Malano and Zay Jones are going to have to start making plays. Zay has had some striggles thus far, with Matthews out can he step up and make plays? He is getting open he needs to make the plays through the catch.
-
The way Mcdermott does things I would not be surprised if this week they work Reilly and Dupree into the rotation and see which player earns it, Whichever guy shows enough is getting activated Saturday.
-
Taylor paired with a good defense will result in playoffs. Curious to see if they can keep it up. Milano starting at linebaker makes me a little nervous. Zay needs to step and have a big game without Matthews.
-
This was after a timeout.
Remember when Rex got blasted for this?
Difference Rex's D gave up a 50 plus yard run in OT, Mcdermotts D made the stop.
-
I think Buffalo should win. Im curious to see how the passing attack looks without Matthews. Jones and Holmes wont scare anyone. Even after yesterday Jones is like 98% to having a monster game. That play on the sidelines in the first half could have been a TD if he didn't stumble. Hopefully, that diving catch builds his confidence.
-
What a move if White continues this play and got an additional first as well.
-
Trying to tackle Tolbert after Mccoy would be a strain. I do not expect to see Tolbert being the factor back if Mccoy goes down. I would like to T Jones get some carries. Hes got good speed and could add a change of pace to the change of pace.
-
Powell is back but I am not that impressed with him over the last few years. I would not be against Reilly getting play in the slot off PS.
-
Very simple BB is no longer building in NE he is at the point of maintaining. I thought that was the case when they traded a lot of picks for players this past year. Ealy they traded a 2nd for was cut. The machine that is NE is no longer there now. Brady is great, they will be in it as long as he is their QB. When Brady leaves or diminishes they will falter.
-
Willie Beaman reminds me of Taylor. Kinda funny that is/was Ray Lewis nickname for Tyrod.
-
I think Taylor plays good the offense scores 4 tds. They win or lose is if they can keep atlanta umder 30.
-
Carolina with a healthy Kueckly and Davis are stingy. Denver blanked Elliot and the jets front is the teams stength.
Coaches coach to their stregnths which is the reason for their hires. Buffalo ran alot of zone blocking. Not alot of oitside zone. Once it clicks and the line and McCoy start getting in sync there isnt a better style to run Mccoy. He has crazy vision. Buffalo faced 2 very good run defenses. This week will be a better accessmemt of the team and scheme when it comes to running. Imo the only thing that stops Mccoy running this weekend is ATLs offense.

Marcel gets back to pushing the pocket and mauling dudes makes the defense dominate not just good.

I have no problem with his clock management. As a coach you are judged by if you win most believe you are right and If you lose most assume you are wrong. Against Car by keeping that time out he allowed the offense to use the whole field. If Zay makes that catch and is short they have another shot at the end zone. No reason to use the TO early and rush the game winning plays. I am not a fan of Gannon and thought his opinion of the the end of game scenario was not entirely accurate. They had plenty of time and you had to move into position to score. They use the timeout when he thinks they should and Zay makes that catch but is ruled down before the endzone and they lose is that better?
Against Denver we were up 2 scores and if they make the stop they win. Both those time outs were used when the time was already stopped. With they heat imo he was using them to give his guys a rest but also get an idea of what they are trying to schematically. No different then a late game basketball time out vs inbound plays.
-
He can be the best player on the team. I dont think he is a bad dude, his personal life has been hard he was given a bunch of money and was told to be space eater not a playmaker for 2 years. I have faith in McDermott and If buffalo makes a playoff run Daures needs to be Mr. Big Stuff and just big and stuffed.

No helmets and no shoulder pads, they will have to tackle rugby style. Big injuries will actually be eliminated. CTE injuries will be eliminated.
I dont think they will ever do that. Oline and dline need some sort of pad. The head gear and shoulder pads would be no thicker than knee and thigh pads.
-
The trick will be stopping the run with 7 in the box not 8.

There is no targeting rule in the NFL. I am not ok with refs dropping flags because of the result, not the action. I've seen it happen in the past I believe it was Austin Collie. The ref clearly threw a flag when he saw how hurt Adams was. Now I guarantee you Arizona wishes they had Trevathon on there defense when Dez Bryant in a similar play fought for 8 yards and carried the whole Arizona defense in a scrum into the endzone.
I do agree the only solution to helmet to helmet hits and the growing CTE issue that is plaguing football. Take the plastic off shoulder pads and helmets. Use the head gear that players wear in 7 on 7 tournaments and use the shell style shoulder pads. When you have no protection to your face and head the style will be different.

Is Tyrod Taylor worthy of Wall of Fame?
...and I already proved above that Orton's efficiency and potency as a passer (yardage) improved as the season progressed so with EJ's games (which our coaches deprived Orton of) would have gotten him off to a great start with even better stats than what he already crushed. I honestly don't get the criticism of Orton or the conclusory statement that he doesn't deserve recognition as a fame-worthy candidate.
Week 1 after being on the team for 3 days of practice he performs better than EJ? Marrone never cared for EJ and I believe he played Orton that absolute soonest he could.
-
This is a subjective discussion and having the ability to predict the whole is important.
Its the basis of the Wall of Farm argument. If he passes for 4000 plus yards that year.... ect.
-
Tom Brady and Brett Favre would disagree. Peyton Manning too.
Orton is none of those guys.

e-x-t-r-a-p-o-l-a-t-e
That is not how sports works. Increase usage normally equates to less efficiency. At his age there is no way to know he could make it through a full season.
-
If he throws for 4200 in a season like Orton did (should have if he played EJ's four games) yes.
I thought it was 3018?
Target TY Hilton? Other options at WR?

We have a bye so bringing in outside help would be for Tampa not really Cincy. I think it is going to come down to what the time table is with Matthews. If he is only going to miss a few weeks I dont expect them to make a move. If its a month or more than I can see them targeting a Wr on a different roster.
