  1. from the PS so has to be to the active roster, Buf-Miami-Ten-Buff also means our OL backups we have arent looked upon as being ready (Doyle) or good (Douglas, Bates, Ford, etc) ???
  2. seeing and knowing people who got vaccinated several months ago whose immunity strength has dropped with time, so the vax is only good for a certain amt of time and susceptible to the delta variant as well, so unless we get the booster the previously vaccinated are now susceptible is the concern, is that case here, we shall soon find out...
  3. and as part of this fiasco two-minute warning (to clear pending commercials) was born
  4. yeah the levy as GM and Jauron as coach was another sad chapter in the Ralph Wilson ownership book, and there were many Saban, Knox, Polian, Wade Phillips, Butler (GM) - these succesful ones, and there were not many, all were fired and created an immediate and rapid downward spiral that took years to recover if at all...sigh... thanks for brining and keeping the team in Buffalo Ralph, that trumps a lot of crap you put us thru otherwise...sigh
  5. Bass was the pick from the Browns that we got in the Teller trade, a touchy subject, but at least we got something for him... has missed only 1 kick this season, perhaps Haack is a better holder than Bojo as well ?
  6. Beasley and Morse are in the same boat- they are productive but have pricey "last" year contracts pending...thats what the off-season analysis is all about, it wont be an easy decision to part with either, but I can see them both gone for cap savings as I dont see either being extended or taking a paycut...'but who knows so then the in-house replacements ? Would Jake K be a good slot guy...would Mongo be a full-time center ?
  7. love to diversity of under center vs gun, the double TE, the jet sweeps, Breida, the tackle eligible, rollouts, etc now add some hard counts to show the blitzers and draw the DL Offside, and the RPO instead of Josh running to the mix,,,
  8. Ford is at the top of the dud list; 1. 2nd round with first round grade ? that we traded up for....sigh 2. yes injuries have hampered but now clear of those and results are sub-optimal 3. likely off-season cut - saves 1.5M in 2022 cap - interesting that street FA Ike B makes more than Cody this season at the top of the stud list...Brown...has developed to stabilize the line...
  9. Franco's Army and Gerela's Gorillas arent all that worked-up about it either
  10. looked up PFF stats - Dawkins has 7 penalties tied for second most in the league - he and Morse are our highest rated OL - with grades in the 60s - with Brown next with Feliciano who has not given up a sack. Teller grades in the high 80s.
  11. yeah its espn,but its rationale and this portal of higher thought desperately needs it this week...below is the Pats synopsis as well AFC EAST Buffalo Bills (5-3) What we know: The Bills were making a solid case as the best team in the AFC, but then the loss at Jacksonville happened. This remains a good football team with some areas to correct. Quarterback Josh Allen and his many weapons have not flashed like they did earlier in the season due to offensive line struggles and issues in the running game. The Bills, however, have a high ceiling and should improve when players return from injury. The defense is a step ahead of last season's team and can give plenty of teams trouble. What we don't know yet: Will the loss to the Jaguars be the exception and not a sign of bad things to come? The question going into Jacksonville was whether this team would take a step forward and go further than last season, when they lost to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship. The expectations are sky high, and major changes will need to be made going forward if this version of the Bills has an opportunity to be the first to go to the Super Bowl since the 1993 season. Final record prediction: 12-5. There will be a couple more stumbling blocks along the way against some top opponents on the Bills' schedule, but Buffalo will finish among the conference's best record. -- Alaina Getzenberg New England Patriots (5-4) What we know: They are a mentally and physically tough team that has been in every game, and the Pats are bringing along rookie quarterback Mac Jones masterfully as he learns on the job. Their early-season struggles were a result of sloppy ball security and failure to come up with the big play in the critical situation, but that has changed over the past few weeks during a three-game winning streak that has helped turn their season around. Depth in the defensive backfield might ultimately prove to be an Achilles' heel, but for now, they are getting the most out of what they have. What we don't know yet: Is the ceiling for the Jones-led offense high enough to make a run into the playoffs? Jones has, by all accounts, performed well through the first nine games of his rookie season. There is a reason no rookie QB has ever led his team to the Super Bowl, so while Jones shows promise, he also serves up a reminder of his youth at times with mistakes. Meanwhile, on defense, the secondary is thinner than desired and is one injury away from a potentially significant drop-off. Final record prediction: 10-7. Two games remaining against the AFC East-leading Bills, and a home date against the surging Titans, highlight some
  12. then h then what to do in 2 weeks when Jake K returns - have to cut one of them and risk loosing ?
  13. Wyatt Teller’s #Browns Extension (h/t @ProFootballTalk) $59M thru 2025 $16.5M GTD @ sign Practical 2.5 yrs $30.3M Cap Hits 21: $2.7M 22: $4.8M 23: $15.8M 24: $17.3M 25: $18.1M so for those us who want better OL play - this is guard pay - not LT - how could this work on our future payroll ? browns have a good line lets see how many they can retain
  14. it must be an off-day for the team and related news during a week where we lost...not worthy of a response
  15. warren zevon or try this one from Neil Young - dedicated to Cody Ford or anyone that tried to block Josh Allen
  16. to your point..the whole league has a gameplan on how to beat the Bills...we are seeing this and will see the coverage and blitz schemes again and again...quciker adjustments are needed, loosing Beasley for the second-half hurt as until the quick passes to Diggs there really wasnt an adjustment other than quick dump-offs, some of which were tipped to counter your point...teams dont respect our run and are doing their best to scheme against our passs plus we played some back-up OL who really arent good enough or arent used to playing together...how can Cody Ford regress that badly from being a first-round Beane consideration as well as playing tackle and guard to the mess that he is now ? D Williams is as inconsistent as they come, how can he play so well last year and so uneven this year, where we dont know what to expect ? You can try to place that on the coaches as far as prep and adjust for sure, but the basics of technique and execution are expected as you cant practice what do on screwed-up plays by the OL for example...but you can have more options available as to what do...roll-outs, max protect, bubble screens,quick slants, and crosses and adding another OL to form an uneven line, etc

  18. has the tweet been removed as of yet ?
  19. great for Mitch - he deserves a starting opportunity and I hope the pick(s) are better than the usual middling rounders
  20. all hail ye pagan rituals...which of thy overlords shall we bow to and beseech today peasants....
  21. luv it...but..lets be a little more careful with the franchise qb pls....he's the one we need the most-est...
  22. key details will be how much the NFL kicks-in, as well... curious to see if the Pegulas add a donation as they did paying for the entire arena at PSU (alma mater)...
  23. we rolled Miami the first time easily in part to the fact the both their starting tackles were out and we knocked-out the starting qb... but these players were back yesterday plus they had a better defensive gameplan as well the second time around.... onward...Jets may be pathetic on any given week but they have quality wins this season (Titans, Bengals) and may have found something dynamic with White as QB....and then there are the Pats...
