  1. This could definitely be a problem. We might get more Boettger than I care to see.
  2. All those teams and he never got a shot? Three head coaches coach and threes OC's all missed something in him? The Cards are doing ok with Murray, what made them quit on Rosen? The Dolphins are sticking with Tua and putting better weapons around him. At Atlanta, Rosen had Ryan to learn from, that was an opportunity to learn and take over. Maybe it's Rosen that is the problem and not the franchises he played for? I will be surprised if Rosen does anything significant for Cleveland. The Browns do have a running game, they should maximize that and let Rosen manage the game and minimize mistakes.
  3. He should play just one or two series in the last 2 preseason games and that is it. Just enough to take the rust rust off. And no planned QB runs either.
  4. Thus far, Rosen is not good enough to be a journeyman. He has not played enough for that. He is still a bust that is hanging on by a thread. Fitz is the ultimate journeyman. McCown and Hoyer are also journeymen. Usually journeymen have starter status on several teams over a long career and are capable of being adequate.
  5. Agree on this. I was at both. The Pats* game was sweet but the 1980 game was actually more satisfying to me and Rich Stadium went hysterical. Correct. The one time Jauron was not conservative and was a huge tactical error. This was a terrible home opener. Losing was bad enough, the injury to Everett made it even worse.
  6. RIP Marlin. Great athletic and football player..
  7. Live fire is different than study and practice. Time is limited, there is stress, noise, and no hindsight benefits. To be successful, Real time decisions require everyone in the chain to execute them properly. If they don’t, the decision could look wrong, even it is right. Conversely, a lesser decision could work out with a positive result if the players make spectacular plays, or the opponent fails on their end. Coaches get too much blame and too much credit because the buck rightfully stops with them. Example: Belichick and his OC make way less good decisions without Tom Brady on the team.
  8. It’s not that cut and dry. McD may have called the short kick. The coverage team played it that way so someone called it, you can see it on tape. The call did not get to Bass, that is the problem. That may be on the ST Coach. No one is saying the exact roles each player and each coach have once the HC makes the call.
  9. Byrd, Moulds, Kyle … that’s it.
  10. Very possible, but i didn't see his name mentioned.
  11. None of these players deserves to be on the WoF. Great guys and very good players but the WoF is for the great ones that were standout players in the AFL/NFL during their era of play.
  12. If you have been watching since the 70's then you should know that Fitz's play on the field does not merit Wall of Fame consideration. As a Bill he has a 20-33 WL record and a 78.9 QBR - not the stuff of legends. His 80 TDs are quite good, but then look at the 64 INTs and you start to see the problem. He threw for 3,000 yards or more 3 times as a Bill, and yet we never had a 0.500 record with Fitz at the helm. He has 0 Pro Bowls in 17 seasons. He was a great teammate, a very fine person, a hard worker, a dedicated player, and he had the best beard in Bills history - but not a Wall of Fame player on the football field.
  13. I will miss your great reviews.
  14. He is a lot of things, but he is not low IQ. I will not be happy if he gets any leniency in court for being mentally ill or falling under some kind of learning disability umbrella. He actions were well researched, carefully planned, coldly calculated and even documented. Not the work of a low IQ learning disabled person. He should be tried as a fully functional adult.
  15. The question was about weaknesses, not glaring weaknesses. Clearly, the Bills roster is very strong and have no glaring weakness. OL depth is a concern to me. The interior OL may be adequately addressed if Saffold delivers and if we stay healthy. It’s about depth. Maybe Kromer makes Ford a better player? That is another factor. Our QB is great he and makes others around him better, especially the OL. That is obvious.
  16. Biggest weakness is interior OL and OL depth in general. This is the only area that was not adequately addressed unless Saffold has a good year and there are no major injuries.
  17. Bills Phins Pats* Jets
  18. Ho about we wait for him to make the team and produce, then the Nickname will come.
  19. Mad? No. But it still hurts and it still bothers me. Only one thing can fix it.
  20. RIP Bob Lanier. Great player. He was a big man that could shoot. The Bonnie’s had a real shot at the NCAA title with him in the line up. I miss the Little 3 and wish the teams could have kept it together at a high level, expanding into a bigger division.
  21. It might be better that he surrendered. He might be part of a bigger group, and if not he might associate with more people of this type. There is much to learn. The legal system will put him away forever.
  22. Sweeney did not do much to impress when Knox was hurt. I don’t see that he brings much as a blocker or receiver. Wydermeyer has a shot at the 53 man roster.
  23. Yes, I think this is true. The film shows Levi was playing it completely wrong on both plays. He also admitted to not knowing what his teammates were doing, and didn't bother to turn his head and look, which is even worse. The fact that they took time outs to get it right makes it hard to fathom. In crunch time some players step up and some wilt. Levi basically choked, but so did a lot of others out there. No one beat their man and made a play. They need to move on and they need to improve. Adding Miller, the new DTs, and Elam will help.
