I'm all for Sweeney/Knox and let Kroft go away. I was just responding you asking what about Kroft's stats were worthy of playing him. He did prove in 2017 (before injuries) that he's a legit TE (7 TDs, 9.6 avg per catch, 23 catches for first down). IF healthy, I would split time with Sweeney. If Kroft never sees the field, that's OK too. Don't feel that strongly about him.

2017 looks pretty damn good to me. I watched him here in Cincy that year. He's legit. I do like Sweeney (and especially Knox), but they need to catch the ball consistently when thrown to them.

I'll give the NFL a little credit on how they've handled the new PI challenges. They are extremely reluctant to overturn a call (either way). The rule was in place for the egregious ones (Rams/Saints), not for coaches to try to get away with some BS finger touching a shoulder. I do like how they are (not) allowing coaches to abuse the rule.

Ha. I guess you're right. "tired" is tricky - I guess that is 2 syllables. The way I say it, it sounds like 1. I'll take out the "and" and change it to: Cold, hungry, tired The Buffalo charges forth To seek and destroy

Ha. I tried to explain sleestaks to my kids, they looked at me like I was a dinosaur. Land of the lost was awesome.

In case it helps (I had to look it up): A traditional Japanese haiku is a three-line poem with seventeen syllables, written in a 5/7/5 syllable count. Often focusing on images from nature, haiku emphasizes simplicity, intensity, and directness of expression. Cold, hungry, and tired The Buffalo charges forth To seek and destroy

Unless injury calls for it, no need to trade for anyone. Why give anything up (player or pick)? We're good right now, and have depth, and a full complement of draft picks next year. We're not desperate. Stay the course.

Making room for Eifert

Probably just had some of the girls drive him over straight from the bar.

Shut you up, Dablitzkieg, it was Marcus. That's awesome....

Great summary. I would add... Lee Smith was the first TE to catch a pass today. Sweeney and Knox have to catch those balls. Period. Duke's the *****. Hopefully he stays humble and just keeps ballin'. Loved Brown rippin' McKenzie in the huddle. Vets need to teach the youngin's like that. You mentioned the calls against Milano, but what about the hold called on Ford (when he got injured), I saw NOTHING at all - and Gore had just run for a first down. That was terrible. I think Bozo is fine... not sure what all the fuss is about. Don't QB sneak with needing almost 2 yards (that was dumb). 5 minutes to go and 2 incomplete PASSES - that was not smart. Should have been run, run. pass (maybe) in that situation Vrabel's an idiot for sending out the FG unit down 7 from 53 yards away after missing 3 prior (WTF was he thinking!!!??) Henry is a great back. I respect him. Almost every time, 2 extra yards at the end of his runs. The OL was REALLY impressive today. Really impressive. I don't know if y'all have noticed, but the "soft spot" in the Bills defense is right in the middle of the field. There are some plays where no one is around the offensive guy (maybe that's by design, and they are willing to get beat there), but I've noticed it all year. Something they should address. So excited about this team. Loved Mafia invading Tenn. Should probably keep it up and invade every stadium. Someone start a gofundme page for bills fans that want to go to visiting stadiums. I would contribute. Go Bills.

Only been on a year or so, but appreciate your takes too. Happy Birthday.

Not only the addition to Singletary, but the lesser demands on Gore's 36 year old body. I don't think he could take a full year of carrying the full load every game (actually, he probably could, but let's not test that). Terrific 1-2 punch coming. Go Bills.

Depends on the game plan vs the defensive strengths/weaknesses. A good mix is always good. So far, the deep throws are not looking very good - so short chunks right down the field is a good way to start the game at least (IMO). Gore, Beasley, Knox, Singletary, Brown repeat.... 5-8 yards at a time. Take deep shots after this is established.

You're right. Mystery solved. Chandler, you were probably thinking about the second drive - head was definitely driven into the ground.

I was curious so went back to watch the play on NFL game pass. While it was a good hit on the sack, his head did not hit the turf. I wish I could post the full video, but his shoulder hits, not his head. And the Pats defensive player doesn't crush his head either. He may have been woozy after this hit, but it wasn't from his head bashing the turf.

Ha. No - that's why it's a great old term. "Get back in there kid, you just got your bell rung, that's all"

Maybe he just got his "bell rung" (the old concussion). I don't think you can definitively say he was concussed at that point - there are obviously degrees of head banging. Think minor headache to full blown migraine.

I have an idea! Let's get the 8 cartridges mailed to the neighbors house then get the mail before they do when they come. Then we never buy the three at the full price! (Sorry, neighbors, not my problem). I vaguely remember a "friend" doing that growing up and feeling very guilty about it now.

Here's a zoomed in screenshot. Not only stopped in his tracks, leaned in, and pushed that left leg out, but he's also looking RIGHT at him. *intent is 9/10 of the law

You missed the joke... he's the "clapper" on the sidelines. I love McD

We still have the clap. He's the coach of this team.

Scaredy cat Brady could have been called for intentional grounding twice. Sniffle sniffle

Offense seemed to have a stupid gamelan first half. How they started the second half is what they should have done all day. Whaaaaaa!
