  1. I wouldn't do that if I were them. Or at least think carefully. Q: how do you tell whether or not there's an alligator in a Florida waterway? A: you touch it. If the water is wet, there's an alligator in it
  2. That would be why his Bills tenure ended
  3. Get him a Kazoo Helmet and then put a guardian cap over it. That play makes no sense to me. He got the 1st down, SLIDE! Damar made like the worlds most awkward tackle because that's what he was expecting, I'm sure. I give Tua props as a decision maker and an accurate passer when he has time, but Tua seems to have very little field awareness as a runner. I'm glad you mentioned this. I was wondering how Hamlin must have felt, making that tackle then watching Tua writhe around and seeing the trainers come racing over. I hope it doesn't give him flashbacks.
  4. Yes, a partial tear is a thing. In 2020 Milano had a partial tear, no surgery, and missed 2 games. That was too few, and he may have re-injured or aggravated it; he wound up on IR for 3 games and then was worked back over the next 3. Overall missed 5 games and was ineffective for 2. Hopefully the Bills will learn something from that and be more conservative with Bernard. If they'd have put Milano onto IR directly, he would have missed less time overall I believe, 4 weeks and limited the next 2 or something.
  5. Yeah, I made a post responding to someone else where I felt bad reading it like I'm dunking on Spector. He came in in a tough spot against an offense that relies on motion and misdirection, and he did OK and yeah, you may be correct that he got better as the game went on. (I was responding to a chap who claimed Spector played better than Bernard has. No. No, he did not)
  6. Read some of the stuff other people have posted. There were plays Spector messed up on - took the wrong assignment himself after the snap. He was slow to make the read and the call. It's not that Bernard stood out making "splash plays", it's that he makes the right decisions and gets the D in the right place to be effective. I wasn't impressed with Deion in preseason and I had such hopes for him, too. I think you can count on it the Beane Team is gonna be spinning the rolodex and burning up the phone lines this weekend, to backfill on PS if nothing else. I think we need to wait on news about how serious Bernard's injury is, though.
  7. Ten quick points after the game: 1) BILLS WIN! Can't say anything sweeter than that 2) Happy Birthday To Me (was yesterday, but I'll take this as a nice belated present) 3) Ladies and Gentlemen....tread softly now BUT THE BILLS SEEM TO HAVE A PASS RUSH! Under pressure dum du da dum da! 4) Let James Cook!!!! 5) Along with that pass rush...WE SEEM TO HAVE A RUN GAME! Concerns: 6) Allen gave me heart palpitations with a couple of those throws late in the game. It's hard to argue with 68% completion, but he really does need to throw it away or eat it at times. We're lucking *****y we didn't have some picks. Yeah, push it but "know when to say when". I hope they read him the riot act in the film room.... 7) ....though Allen IS a mother*****in' One Man Riot. OMG the athleticism of that man - elevates right over the Dolphins bench AND the trashcan behind it! My heart! 8) I saw so many guys reading wrong and miscues on our D (yeah, even me, even on the televised broadcast). Hopefully we can continue to improve week to week. And even so, we had enough ..... in part because WE SEEM TO HAVE A PASS RUSH! 9) WTF was it with our players slipping and sliding all over the place out there? The Dolphins didn't seem to be having as much problem. I saw Cam Lewis slip and fall on his ass on that Achane TD, other defenders as well. Do our equipment guys need to go to Cleat School or lay in a different set of cleats, or do we need to spray down our practice field so our players get used to it or what? And finally: 10) Love Poyer but he's no longer "All Pro Po", made me a bit verklempt even though it's good for our team I think Bass was kind of a "slip sliding away" victim on that late miss Two words: Pass Rush. They were not expecting what they got from us. And even so Tua hit the hot read and they broke contain on us what, half a dozen times? Then we adjusted to that and Tua had to start running, which was.....Not a good idea.
  8. There are teams and schemes where McDermott has not, historically, "had their number" However, with McDaniel (and if I'm not mistaken, other Shanahan tree coaches), McDermott seems to be channeling a little "Tommy TuTone" I think what impressed me the most was how many mistakes and miscues I saw (yeah, even me) from the defense on broadcast TV and yet....
  9. Are you naturally this much of a douchenozzle or is this the result of regular, extensive, and meticulous practice? No one minds if you make the point that small players who are playing at the high end of their physical capabilities all the time get hurt more than larger-framed players, but coming in a thread about an injury just happened to "count coup" and claim prescience is the worst of crap taste.
  10. I mean, that is what the Dolphins do. Lots of eye candy, lots of misdirection. Seeing it on film is one thing, seeing it when you're responsible for the calls is bound to be a learning curve. No. No, Spector did not look better than Bernard.
  11. That would likely be why they have Nicholas Morrow on the roster But let's wait a minute and see what the injury and its timeline actually is.
  12. Now that's the kind of football talk I wanna see For now, I'm cool with Keon just focusing on catching the ball and putting it away. He doesn't need to be re-adjusting his feet as he's catching it. Just catch the ball.
  13. Those uniforms are the cloth equivalent of "a boy named Sue"
  14. I felt positive about his game - But It's One Game. We need him to string together 16 more regular season, and then hopefully Playoffs
  15. I think the 49'ers have a Purdy good QB
  16. No, technically it's not, but practically.... ....2 point conversions have a 49.4% success rate. And the 9'ers get a chance to eat clock in between Those 3 points make it a difference between 2 TD plus a normal kick win it, to needing 2 TD plus 2 2pt conversions - big change in the odds
  17. But they pretty much ended the game anyway. 16 point game. Jets need 2 TD and 2 2-pt conversions to tie, while in the middle there the 9ers get a chance to eat clock. Theoretically, it could happen, but Rodgers would need a lucky horseshoe wedged up his ass for reals.
  18. OK, so the 9'ers took the safe play of kicking the FG and making it a 3 score game. Can't fault that, but it's disappointing to get to the 5 yd line and settle for 3
  19. From Your Mouth to God's Ears. Too Freakin' Much. He is such a Loose Cannon. Rapp: "Friendly Fire, Isn't"
  20. Actually this isn't correct. Poyer was out, and we had Rapp and Hyde as the safeties. Yes, we had Tre, who was injured about 2/3 of the way through the game, but he was paired with Dane Jackson. IMHO Douglas/Benford is a better pairing than White/Jackson and certainly than Benford/Jackson. We did have Bernard and Milano as our LBs though and Taron Johnson as our nickel On the other hand, in the close, we-shoulda-won-it 2022 "Heat Stroke" game, we had Jaquan Johnson and Damar Hamlin at safety, Tim Settle and Brandon Bryant at 1TDT, and Kaiir Elam with Benford then Ingram at CB
  21. You really better bite your damned tongue and go take a look at the depth chart before you wish harm on those guys. You really wanna see Baylon Spector trying to play for Matt Milano? Seriously?
  22. Wawrow reporting Johnson ruled out, Allen will play: https://www.sun-sentinel.com/2024/09/09/bills-qb-josh-allen-cleared-to-play-while-db-taron-johnson-ruled-out-against-miami-on-thursday/
  23. Forcast right now for Thurs gametime is mid-80s, chance of rain Josh Allen estimated as "full", so that's good news Taron Johnson DNP though
  24. This. When you got a guy who will stiff-arm onrushing defenders and turn into a runner (then hurdle defenders), the refs keep their laundry to themselves.
