  1. No. Derrick Henry scares me. What defenses have to give up to focus on shutting him down scares me. Definitely give Lamar his propers. He's worked hard at his craft and has improved as a QB. He's also got one of the best, if not the best, WR corps he's ever had. But there's no question that his stats are inflated by teams playing to slow Henry down.
  2. No, not that I've seen. I'm not a big Harbaugh fan. But he generally runs a tight ship and his players know better than to talk smack on opponents.
  3. Not just Milano, who was still on IR that game. Bernard was out. Taron Johnson was out. Rapp went out in the 1st Q and didn't return. That game was the "open the rolodex, we need more on offense" game for Beane. (Houston was the "flip through it and speed dial" game)
  4. Well....with 210 rush yards and a rush TD maybe he should have worried a bit? But I know what you mean. Cook - none of the Bills RBs really - have never "posterized" someone like Henry did to Josh Norman.
  5. That was actually my thought. How much of it was Darnold hesitating and not knowing where to go with the ball? And how much of it was an offense succeeding off screen plays and the deep ball (neither of which were working last night)? From the TV broadcast I find it hard to tell
  6. Milano was out. Bernard was out. Johnson was out. Rapp went out and Bishop played 3/4 of the game. Brown and Cook both played
  7. Yeah, that was FredEx-esque.
  8. Why would the Bills cheer for the Rams?
  9. McDermott said he is in concussion protocol, yesterday. Per league policy that's all the update we'll get until he's out. They don't update on what stage he's in or anything like that. McDermott said he is in concussion protocol yesterday in his Monday presser. They normally don't give updates "getting better" blah blah but one can infer where he is in the protocol by what he's seen doing in practice and so forth.
  10. Yeah, there have a been a bunch of fires there of recent years. Napa Valley wineries lost production because the grapes had smoke taint and were unusable; the Camp Fire (Paradise) was northern Cali. Oakland, Orange, and San Bernardino Counties have all seen fires.
  11. Score more points than they do That sounds trite, but really, there isn’t a “one size fits all” formula. KC gave up 185 rush yards and 452 yds of total offense, Mahomes threw a pick, and KC still won. The Eagles gave up 166 rush yards and 372 yds of offense. They also got like 5 stops and the Ravens missed 2 FG You’ve got to get some stops on D and not turn the ball over. Other than that, play with physical intensity and be prepared to deal with physical intensity from them. Stay poised and keep fighting. Two of their losses were division opponents (Browns and Steelers). Two of their losses were to really good teams (Chiefs and Eagles). The outlier is their 2nd game of the season, to Las Vegas.
  12. I could be wrong but I don’t think Harbaugh is taking the Bills very seriously.
  13. I dunno. Yes, Darnold was bad, but did he have answers for the Rams rush other than deep balls or screens (that LA was blowing up)? He was starring in a remake of “Kill the Man with the Ball” back there. I don’t know much about the Vikes other than that they had a strong run game all season and two very good receivers in Jefferson and Addison, but either Darnold didn’t have short quick answers (other than the screen game the Rams were blowing up) or, he wasn’t taking those answers
  14. Well, this turned into a rout.
  15. Or not…..but really, that one was on Darnold
  16. OK, so it’s an equal opportunity horseshoe
  17. Rams got hosed on that one
  18. Intentional grounding
  19. Wow, Rams and Stafford with the horseshoe rammed up their butts
  20. We never knew that Rosen was a playoff caliber QB, or even an NFL caliber QB. We still don't know that; he was on the Vikes practice squad for a month Dec-Jan when they went to the playoffs. That may technically make him a member of a playoff team, but it would still be a stretch to say that makes him a "playoff QB"
  21. It's a little hard to tell, but in the first game we had Cam Lewis playing nickel for Taron Johnson, and I think we sub'd in Nicholas Morrow at LB on about 28% of the snaps to play base. Spoiler didn't work well, but then, the whole D wasn't working well
  22. I'm so confused. You want us to play 3 LB - where normally we would take the nickel CB, Taron Johnson, off the field But instead, you want to take Damar Hamlin off the field at safety and replace him with who? Taron Johnson, who would be playing out of position? Why is this a good thing?
  23. https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/ravens-praise-steelers-divisional-playoffs-bills-late-for-work Welp, Then. My personal "take" is that the Steelers spirits were broken long before they took the field against the Ravens. 4 straight losses to playoff teams, especially featuring 3 games in what? 11 days? will do that when your team lose faith that their QB can play well enough to lead them to victory against the league's better teams (Eagles, Ravens, Chiefs, Bengals) -------------- Giants, Steelers (see above) Texans, Browns
  24. I mean, we have similarly ignorant fans. On the Samuel TD, Surtain was burned by Joe Brady's brain.
