  1. Too bad his wife can't work to support the family if he loses his job...
  2. Honest question? Why is he being inducted? He never did anything in Buffalo except being born here? I don't recall him being active in the community ever.
  3. Agree The counter is the Bills have one win over a team with a winning record. Chiefs have beaten 4 teams with winning records and one that is 0.500. We will know alot more about the Bills in the next 4 weeks.
  4. Orlando Pace in college Walter Jones in NFL
  5. Dodson played better the more time he got. He's better than Morrow, Buffalo Joe, and probably on par with Spector. He can play inside or outside for the Bills. He would have been better depth than what we have now.
  6. I like this combo. Wonder if we will see any throwbacks this year?
  7. Two SuperBowl appearances and a Championship. 11 trips to the playoffs, 3 AFC Championship games, and 17 years without a losing season. He was broken a long time ago. Last year he had the highest INT/Attempt of any QB in the league.
  8. Moving him to safety would be better than taking him off the field. Again this was with the premise that McD would play some 4-3 at times with Milano back. He tried it against Baltimore for a few plays with Morrow and he got burned. My guess is he will stick to his nickel base.
  9. That ten yard line rule went away a long long time ago. The kicking team is too good at downing the ball inside the 5. You risk having the ball downed very very close to the goal line. However you do see some guys try to fake catching the ball away from where it will actually land, or instead of being a punt catcher they just block the guy nearest them to allow the ball to hopefully go into the endzone.
  10. Don't forget the Browns and Jets. Me too You forgot Diggs. Despite what is said here, he helped too.
  11. I think it is 4 calendar weeks not 4 games. But he seemed like a guy that was going to be out longer than 4 weeks. Sorry. I was wrong it is 4 games but 4 calendar weeks once designated to return to be added back to roster.
  12. The problem with punt return stats is the difference between the very best and the worst is like 5 yards. Anything in the middle is like a 2 yard average difference. That difference doesn't make up for fielding a punt on your own goal line or fumbling the ball. Josh could fall forward and pick up the 2 yard difference. I'd be happy if he just fair caught the ball cleanly the rest of the year. When it is wet, cold, and raining the 4 yard punt return and the inevtiable 10 yard holding penalty is not worth the risk.
  13. No idea how Eberflus kept his job. He has to go.
  14. Nobody wants to say it but LaPorta is better and Beane could have drafted him without trading up wasting a 4th round pick. LaPorta has 14.6 YPC this year. But, we also don't know how much of this is Brady vs Kincaid. So far he seems to be running too many five yard out patterns instead of challenging the mid to deep parts of the field. Is this because we have no deep speed at WR?
  15. 67 and 72 catches for about 875 yards each season...with Alex Smith as QB. Almost 3 YPC better than Kincaid without a HOF QB. He did have Andy Reid though.
  16. Would love to see that against Baltimore and the Chargers if we face them. Move Taron to FS and put Hamlin on bench.
  17. Why have a deep threat WR when you can have a FB???
  18. He is far better than Buffalo Joe, Spector, or Morrow.
  19. It was to Shakir. He was breaking open. Josh threw it short possibly because he was hit at the time.
  20. Pure speculation but is the alignment like this because Hamlin was supposed to blitz to the right side of the offense. He ran up into the hole very quickly so much so he ran himself out of the play. Wonder if he was crashing to that side on a blitz and thus you have Johnson and Hamlin on that side. Maybe Colts got lucky pulling Nelson to that side and blowing open a huge hole.
  21. We are sill less talented than last year. Rapp for Poyer is a wash. Morse for McGovern is a wash. Davis for Coleman is probably a short term downgrade but long term upgrade. Hyde to Hamlin is a downgrade. McGovern to Edwards is a downgrade. And obviously Diggs to Samuel is a massive downgrade. The oline is not as good as last year but I think that is more due to Dawkins and Torrence playing poorly at times. RB group has been improved. Add it all up and Allen is the primary reason they are 8-2. Everyone said his turnovers were overblown but that was total nonsense. It was a massive problem and he had been much much better. That said he was awful in Houston and was the primary reason they lost that game. I would add one other thing. Coaching is better. Second half adjustments are much better this year. Don't forget the retooling also included a new DC and an OC that had a full offseason to work on the offense.
  22. Three of those games were against Jets and Miami who were supposed to be better. Everyone knew the real tough stretch was these next four games.
  23. I'd add Cook, Cooper, possibly Rousseau, and Bernard to your list. And that leaves off Shakir who can also make plays but is not an elite talent.
