Zero pass protection and receivers dropping balls. Geno's not great but virtually every one of his offensive teammates has played worse than he has. Yep. They could possibly win their division but no way Denver wins the conference. Wait... is porn a sport now? This is the first time I've watched a Nix game. What jumps of the screen is that his physical tools don't jump of the screen. Talk about a contact-averse, noodle arm who would rather avoid contact than pay the price to step into a throw and deliver a good ball. Oh c'mon Turk. You know we've all watched many worse games than this. We haven't turned it off yet so that's proof positive.

Did this guy go to the same medical school as The Thigh Doctor? The justification for bringing in guys who were here during training camp and the preseason is that they know the system and can be trusted to know their assignments and arguably can contribute more easily than players who don't know the system. To those bagging on Landon Jackson, just remember the same treatment was given to Cole Bishop. Have some patience. His chiropractor must be drooling...

Does Nix always look like every capillary in his face has ruptured?

The announcers were talking about "strong, swirling winds"

I don't do X and can't view but regardless... that's a lot of dough!

I thought Garfield died from a splenectomy... seriously.

In fairness they were playing it as 4 down territory.

FWIW, he makes over $40 million/year so he can't be that dumb.

You hypocrite!!! The early Broncos unis were infamous for their vertical sox. It was a different regime but it wasn't that long ago that they drafted Josh Jacobs in the 1st round... but he was 24th overall. If you're a Bronco fan, you're either a Bo-liever or you're not.

As many here know, on the trade value charts a 3rd is more points than a 4th plus a 5th so yes, the Bills theoretically could have done something like a 4th, 5th, and 7th... and that would have left them with just 4 picks in the next draft.

McBeane have always said, "football games are won in the trenches." Though they've had their share of misses on the D-line, there's no question they've invested heavily in both lines and we're starting to see that practice pay off.

Niners GM John Lynch on the trade deadline: “We weren’t going to get fleeced,” Lynch said on KNBR, via 49ersWebzone.com. “We weren’t going to overpay. It’s just not good business. And, as they say, sometimes the best deals you do are the ones you don’t do. And I felt like, in this case, we felt like, as an organization, that was the best course, and as I mentioned before, we have a lot of belief.”

Those are Collinsworth's nephews...

I really appreciate you guys sharing your stories. This conversation is another opportunity for the fortunate among us to count our blessings and empathize with the stories of others. I really hope that any of our members who are having tough times feel they can reach out to others here for a needed ear or a hand. Also, don't forget that the Crisis Hotline is 9-8-8.

Before the Bills-Falcons game in week 6 (the last time Palmer played), the broadcast crew (Fowler/Riddick/Orlovsky) talked about how the Bills told them that they didn't realize Palmer was so fast and that he was going to be a big part of their game plan. He caught those 2 passes for 60 yards and was injured at the beginning of the 2nd quarter. To your bolded comments, Palmer hasn't played since then.

There were several wide receiver needy teams in the market and neither of these guys was moved. Also the rumor was that Miami wanted a 1st and 2nd for Waddle. I'm pretty sure your proposal would not have enticed a trade. Actually Josh Palmer has been mentioned many times in this topic so I wouldn't call him an afterthought. Also it's been reported that he's back at practice (limited) this week so he's getting close to a return and considering that he had 2 catches for 60 yards on 2 targets against Atlanta before getting injured, I think there's a lot of excitement.

Just for fun let's say that Hairston isn't actually picking up a tell from Worthy but is just saying that to get into his head...

Just looking at him, 317 seems to not be accurate... he looks a lot bigger than that to me.

Put it this way... last year Cook averaged 15 touches per game. This year he's averaging 21. While to some that might not seem like a lot, it's a 40% increase in workload and for a running back, that's a lot. Obviously we can't rest all of them and obviously we can't play all of them. Just like the discussion of who we cut when Ogunjobi and Hoecht return from suspension, this is a situation that's gonna take care of itself. Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet, Bucky Irving and Rachaad White, Rico Dowdle and Chubba Hubbard... There's always gonna be a drop-off when you have someone of the caliber of James Cook but one way or another we still need much better play from our 2nd running back. Is that according to the Thigh Doctor?

Particularly at that position group. This reminds me that Elijah Pitts, the former Packer running back and father of former Orchard Park HS star and Bills player Ronnie Pitts, went to a small school called Philander Smith College. Apparently it took Lombardi a few months before he was certain that it was Elijah Pitts from Philander Smith College, and not Philander Smith from Elijah Pitts College.

Yeah, Reid wanted Mahomes to be physically abused in unprecedented fashion (15 QB hits) and for the Chiefs to drop to 5-4 and 3rd place in the division because he wants to keep things under wraps until the playoffs. There's no way that Reid was holding anything back for "later." 1) Cook is on the Practice Participation report as Did Not Practice due to an ankle injury. 2) The Bills are 9.5 point favorites. 3) Last year Cook averaged 14.94 touches per game. This year he's averaging 20.75 touches per game. 4) Aside from Josh, Cook's the most important player on the team. I don't think there's any question the Bills need to get another running back going for the good of the team and for the good of Cook.

Yes, that's been mentioned.

Stefon Diggs. Hopefully a Zach Wilson/Mac Jones repeat. Tua also was a fairly recent top. pick in our division. It's great having Josh. And then Pittsburgh happened. Three INTs and 2 fumbles... oof! Nyheim Hines, Rasul Douglas, and Amari Cooper were all trade deadline acquisitions.... 3 years in a row. I haven't seen Indy play this year so I can't say how close I think they are. I guess we'll see soon enough. Again it's weird timing that Irsay checked out this year of all years. I saw where his famous rock memorabilia collection is going up for auction.

Speaking of Hairston... how about Xavier Worthy's stat line... 7 targets, 3 receptions, 23 yards...
