Chris Brown said on OBL today the the surgeon Hoecht saw is cutting edge (no pun intended), using a technique that can cut the recovery time in half.

It wouldn't surprise me if they did. Beane sounded really disappointed that he wasn't able to make a move yesterday...that teams decided to hang onto players rumored to be available. Then he said he won't stop and reminded the questioner that Jordan Phillips was not on the Bills at the trade deadline last year yet played in the playoffs.

This plays into what McD has been talking about in his last two post game pressers...that the defense needs to play with an attitude. I believe that is an aggressive, attacking attitude.

On OBL today, when Brown presumed Benford was injured in practice Tasker said not necessarily. Sometimes a player is injured during a game and it doesn't manifest until the next day or so. It could have been noted at the beginning of practice and thus not mentioned by McD in the presser, but listed afterwards after they held him out of practice.

And of course TB has major injuries on their offense...Evans, Godwin, Irving.

NFL Network broadcasting Bills/Chiefs game replay right now.

But after yesterday, Vets have to now clear waivers. They just can't sign wherever they want until they do.

Actually what was more puzzling was the run play before that put the ball on the right hashmark. Prater prefers kicking from the left. Had the ball been on the left hash, Prater may not have hit the upright.

You're giving Brady way too much credit. He's not using Cook to his potential. Before this past Sunday he was getting only 52% of the snaps, being removed from the field on 3rd down. He finally was used on 3rd down in the passing game this week! As to Shakir, and other WRs, how many passes are behind the line of scrimmage? The constant criticism on this Board is that Brady is limiting this offense not because of the talent, but because of his schemes. So I respectfully disagree.

Shaheed will likely thrive in Seattle's offense because of Smith-Njigba and knowing the offensive coordinator. Here, you are likely right. Brady wouldn't use him to his potential.

Chiefs fans are a bit perturbed that Chiefs wouldn't part with a 3rd round pick for Breece Hall. They apparently offered a 4th and the Jets wouldn't budge.

I don't think it's hubris. Had the Bills been able to stay healthy...particularly on defense...fewer folks would be complaining. As to our offense. Our two losses were a result of Brady not using Cook. Hopefully the balance we saw offensively on Sunday carries forward. Having said that, I do believe that Beane genuinely tried to acquire a top-notch player. Unfortunately, the main seller was in our division and in the other rumors we heard about , the players weren't ultimately available.

Schefter said on ESPN's draft show that a deal he was following up and pursuing fell through at the last minute. I'm wondering....

Jeremy and Joe were talking this morning about how Brady uses wide receivers so even if a stud were brought in, Brady would minimize the impact. That got them to thinking that perhaps D line should be the focus.

He'll end up on the Pats.
