Ethan in Cleveland

Seems like it. I have no problem with Less Smith being active. I've posted many times he should be active because he is the best run blocker on the team and there are times they will need some short yardage gains. Most on this board rag on Smith as much as I do Murphy. We all have our favorite players to pick on. Mine has been Murphy.

Marino is a truly great QB and better than Kelly. No one outside of Buffalo would argue that. Bills were just a better team than Miami primarily because of Thurman Thomas and Bruce Smith.

Every week McD does something stupid. Please explain to me how Gilliam is a better option than Kroft? I'm fine with Smith being active but Gilliam makes no dam sense. He is just as useless as DiMarco was. Murphy I could care less about. He's been a bum his entire non-PED career. Time to see what Epenesa can do.

Seattle. It is one of the few places in the country that is not in the red Not this year. This is the most up to date stat I could find. Entering Week 10, teams have a 65-67-1 record at home

I was just responding to the post that said the board was making a big deal of it. Any hint of benching (and football decision is a hint) the second highest paid center in the league and a key free agent acquisition is big news. It just is.

No they didn't. McD caused the issue by calling it a football decision to not play the second highest paid center in the league. He was cleared to play and dressed. If McD wanted to give him another week before the bye he could have just had him not dress for the game.

I'm not disagreeing. St. Loius Rams had great WRs but also had Faulk catching neatly 100 passes. KC has Kelce. Their is no one perfect combination. Right now Bills are doing it with great WR production and not much else. Having to defend a TE or RB out of the backfield would make the Bills offense even better.

I'm on the west coast and its still a couple of hours until dinner. But first holiday sex with the wife!

I'm not discounting what Hughes is saying and there is no doubt it is a league wide phenomenon. But the Bills front 7 is soft. Even with Star it is soft. They have not had a truly great dominant player in the front 7 since the first couple of seasons Dareus played. Since then and endless parade of finesse guys or bags of goo like Star.

Coaching hires like Mike McCarthy and Adam Gase is why the Rooney rule is needed. White crap retread coaches. Both guys still living off the work of their respective HOF QBs.

He had 8 good games as a rookie and then was terrible

None of this matters. Mahomes has Reid and multiple elite skill players. The Bills did not. You really think Denison and Lee Smith and a bunch of street free agent wrs would have allowed Mahomes to perform at the same level he has in KC.

Agreed I stopped watching when they added Rush Limbaugh to the show. And that was before his racist comments. Never went back.

Yes. Norwood won in OT. Leonard Smith was ejected and walked right past me into the tunnel. I was 18 and my brother 15. We always got in the stadium early and we’re down close to the field watching the team warm up. A guy from SI comes over and pulls us from the stands and gives us field passes to hold their cameras. We ate with the reporters before the game and at halftime. We then watched all the press conferences after the game. Full disclosure there is no way to be 100% sure that is my white hat. But I was standing in that exact spot at the moment those pics were being taken. But there were many white hats and so I could be just outside of the shot too.

Who cares about the running game. It’s not who they are now. Bills have an elite QB and the best WR group in the NFL. That was not the case a few years ago. Weather will not stop KC and Pittsburgh from throwing the ball. Commit to the best 5 linemen. Daboll is doing fine and getting guys open all over the field. My only criticism is they should call 2-4 more screens a game.

My favorite. Can't find a color one at this moment.

I had that poster plus the one with Conlan and Bennett. That's me in the white hat in the bottom left corner. Incredible game. I watched the game from the sideline holding the camera for Sports Illustrated.

Groy was serviceable at center his first year and then sucked his second year. Morse was a disappointment last year in terms of the money spent. PFF may have had him 6th but other ratings had him outside the top 10. Beane made him the highest paid center in the league continuing a pattern over spending on free agents - Murphy Starr, Ivory etc... He performed as he has in the past - a middle of the road center that was a significant upgrade from Bodine. Morse has never been a dominant run blocker but he is quite serviceableable at pass blocking. There is no reason to bench him in favor of Feliciano. There is no way a Feliciano/Winters combo is better than a Morse/Feliciano combo. I seriously wonder if they are playing games with him and trying to get out from his contract and using the concussions as an excuse.

The best 5 is Dawkins, Ford, Morse, Feliciano, and Williams. It’s not even close. Morse is a fine pass blocker. I don’t care about the run. They finally have an elite QB. Put the best 5 to protect Allen. Morse is not a top 10 center even though Beane paid him top money. But he is the best center on the team.

Making finalist list is appropriate, but he is a Hall of Very Good not HOF player. That said I saw an article that stated he won AFC Defensive player of the year twice I could not find a list of just AFC winners. I don't recall him being that dominant but mainly because he was on the same team as Bruce Smith and his peer was Derrick Thomas

Ok that never happened. Nobody wrote him off as a failure. Everyone agreed he played earlier than was ideal. Everyone agreed after his elbow injury the first year, it has been generally a steady improvement . I have no idea if Tua is going to be good. We will all have a better idea this time next year

I'm a cardiologist. Myocarditis can occur with a wide variety of viruses not just Covid. Remember there are other coronaviruses besides COVID-19 and many other common cold viruses than can cause myocardial. Typically it resolves without therapy but you can treat with steroids or immunoglobulin with unclear efficacy. Whoever posted about a pacemaker is 100% wrong. Abnormal heart rhythms can occur with inflammation of the heart but are almost never treated with a pacemaker. Almost always self limited and resolves when the inflammation resolves. Weakening of the pump called cardiomyopathy is the complication most feared. Though typically self limited it can be permanent even with treatment.

Three weeks of practice and he will "tweak" his shoulder to go back to IR. No room for another WR on the 53.

Ozzie Newsome seems to be the best evaluator of college talent. I dont recall him wasting picks moving up to draft guys either. Agree with Pittsburgh and Saints.

Wow you are correct. I didn't realize he had climbed that far so fast. You are correct he was a HOF talent before everything went sideways. He would need at least 2 pro bowl type years to move into top 10 category.
