They probably are every few plays but just cant keep up

LOL, I literally just posted the following in another thread at the exact same time you posted that: If this is your first baby, please be aware that your IQ is currently in the process of dropping by 50+ points and you are going to be a borderline drooling syphillitic idiot for the next 6-12 months. It's bizarre and inexplicable but it is real. Don't worry, it fades eventually. Good luck!

I was going to ask how you ended up posting about the Stillers/Ravens in a 2 month old Carolina/Chicago Thursday night game thread. Then I remembered you have a pregnant wife and it all became clear. The Bills playoffs hinge on Sunday Night at 8:00; nothing else matters, imo.

I don't do it consciously, but it seems that every year after the holidays I tend to go anywhere from a few weeks to a few months without any alcohol.

I don't believe it's that cut and dry. There is wiggle room for guys who are just banged up and still playing.

Pick one: A- Brady is pushing carries. Hard. And Diggs isn't a great blocker B- He's has been playing hurt since the London fiasco C- He's not being schemed out, he's taking himself out when his breathing gets compromised D- His snap counts have always been lower than you think they have E- All of the above F- Random conspiracy theory

Yeah, the Bills who are desperate for receiver help and have limited resources are going to eat a bunch of cap to cut their only reliable wideout.

Contractor?

Hope springs eternal

Every QB in the history of the NFL misses multiple open guys in every single game they've ever played. It's not an issue unless it becomes egregious, and imo it is not anywhere approaching egregious. As for the play in question, I don't recall the underneath coverage precisely, but I do know that particular screen shot is utterly useless in determining who was open when, which is all I was trying to say.

I think if you just draw an "S" on the Pepperidge Farm bag, you can pull it off.

You have no idea who was moving where when Josh made the decision, no idea whether or not he was open at that point and you'll never know from a picture like that. Your opinion is 100% subjective.

Judging whether guys are open from still photographs after the QB has already thrown the ball is an exercise in futility.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if the Bills have the highest run to pass ratio in the NFL since Brady took over.

If they had two young safeties waiting in the wings, maybe you consider letting him go. But they don't, so they can't, imo. I don't know what his cap number looks like, but if it's not out of control you keep him instead of creating another hole you then have to fill. He likes money and it's a contract year so you know you're going to get his best.

It's already a non-story because it's clearly just some **** that somebody made up.

Fair point, but I think it's still a valid topic for discussion despite McCourty's foolishness. Although if the OP continues to use the thread as a vehicle for McCourty's nonsense conspiracy theory, your suggestion will be adopted.

Poyer was outstanding last weekend. He can still play, he just has to pick his spots because he can't do it every week and stay in one piece.

Every day. But that's life. If you just do your best, then you've done everything you could and you don't have anything to feel bad about.

The issue with a lot of these analyses has to do with expectations I think. We see him make these throws that nobody else in the world makes, and we see it on almost a weekly basis. Hell, we've seen him makes throws that I've never seen any other QB make. Ever. So it sets this unattainable standard as an expectation and then when he comes out and just plays "good", it looks like a below average performance when in reality it's just the same hits and misses we see from other good QBs every single week. As for last week, he just got put through the wringer by one of the 2-3 best defensive coaches in the history of this sport. That's probably the best designed and called defense he'll see this year and he only threw the one pick (which was a spectacular defensive play on a 50yrd throw), put up 20 points (despite at least 4-5 bad drops), made a bunch of plays with his feet and won a game they really needed. It was a scrappy, solid game from a tough veteran QB but because he missed a couple very difficult throws that we see him make at times, there's a narrative that he wasn't good. It may have been one of the "worst" 2-3 games he played on the year, but it was also the kind of outing that Belichick frequently forces all good QB's into. And he still won. When the standard has become superhuman, plain old human tends to pale in comparison.

I think they're talking about when he is older.

I think I speak for all of us when I thank you for at least wearing a shirt.

And you think that game was a result of them "running on fumes"? Well, I guess this would explain why they are currently 4-12.

In 1927, recovery times were significantly longer....
