You guys are 100% correct. The Tush Push is never a deceptive trick play. So that being the case, just put different personnel in there and make it as automatic as the Eagles and Bills do. No brainer. If he doesn't have the most drops in the NFL it's only because of his limited target count. Percentage-wise I can't imagine anyone with a higher drop percentage. It's incredible... and this guy was a high draft pick? People on this board were touting him too... just like they were writing off Bryce Young... and countless other examples of prematurely making judgements on players. In the recent Chargers-Patriots live game thread, I was saying what a POS Herbert was and of course he ended up having one of the best games of his career. But yes, this is the real Justin Herbert. I actually had that surgically expunged from my hippocampus. Thanks for the traumatic flashbacks. He's as frisky as young colt, giddy on fresh pasture! This reminds me of the old joke about two blondes trying to drag a deer kill out of the woods. And he's not even wearing a Guardian Cap. He's a fine young lad though... bright eye and sharp chin, and fresh as an irish spring morning. Whatever happened to DJ Chark? Elite physical specimen, high draft pick, 1000 yard season for Jacksonville... and then nothing.

It remains... a factory of sadness... The reason this might be plausible is if he doesn't want to play anymore. If they demanded he play and he refused, it would be breach of contract so it's not beyond the realm that the two parties could settle. Watson's contract was unprecedented. I doubt it's a cautionary tale because it never happened before and I doubt many owners would have followed suit even if this hadn't turned into a complete disaster. Watson's still getting paid at this point so only one party is being punished for their misdeeds... the Browns. The conspiracy theory is that this was done to give both sides an out. The other possible scenario is if the re-injury stemmed from a prohibited activity. If that were the case the Browns would be trying to void the contract. Why would Watson do that? Chicago has been cursed and it has been blessed. Since 1985 Bears the city has won done well. The Cubs and White Sox have each won a World Series, the Blackhawks have won 3 Stanley Cups and the Bulls have won 6 NBA Championships. So since 1985 the city has had 12 world championships. Not Boston but not bad. Not only that, the team sold their soul to acquire Watson. They offended many decent people by trading for him.

Whoever they put back there at least has to be trusted to fair catch the ball. Yes. Teams have to make sure they have a deep returner on punts. Thank you.

Sample size is too small... year to year is a pendulum swing. Very few people (even in Minnesota) believe that Sam Darnold can lead them to the promised land. I love that the Bills are 2-0 versus Kansas City and Detroit this year and the rest of the league is 2-30.

I will say that Amari is the "Anti-Diva" wide receiver. It's premature to judge Coleman. He's still a rookie for god's sake. Take a good look at Courtland Sutton on Sunday. That's the kind of wide receiver that Keon can become. Not only is it premature to judge Amari Cooper, it's also premature to judge Von Miller, even after nearly 3 years on the team. Both of these players were acquired to make us a bona fide championship contender. Neither has had the opportunity to do that yet.

I can't believe it took so long for someone to mention Keon Coleman. Not only does he have extensive experience at it... he's damn good at it. Over his 3 year college career Keon returned 25 punts for 300 yards which is 12.5 yards per return. Codrington finished the regular season 4th in the NFL at 11.6 yards per return.

I hope that the Bills can retain Brady but it seems like a coin flip at best. If it were the Saints that hired him, then we could hire Darren Rizzi as our Special Teams Coordinator. That would be a big upgrade over who we have now.

He seems to be on an Antonio Brown trajectory.

Your "innocent" little guessing game revealed the dark monster residing in many of our posters. This torrent of impure thoughts stains our community forever! And @BillsFan130, your are the worst of the bunch. How dare you play with our unfulfilled obsessions?

It appears that Tyreek refused to re-enter the game against the Jets today: https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/mike-mcdaniel-suggests-tyreek-hill-removed-himself-from-sundays-game His postgame comments indicate his desire to leave the team. https://sports.yahoo.com/tyreek-hill-indicates-he-wants-out-from-dolphins-after-missing-playoffs-it-was-great-playing-here-013149790.html

Has anyone ever seen them in the same place at the same time?

You guys should all be ashamed of yourselves.... lord knows I am.

Which is why I was reminding people that the "must win/win-at-all-costs" mentality is more fear-driven than reason-driven. There are so many fans who think that every game is must win. As you remind us, "even the very wise cannot see all ends." Aside from your fears, do you have a prediction for the game?

The Bills finished with 8 total turnovers.

It's a good policy for ownership to buy goodwill in the locker room.

Not if they lose every time they do it though.

At the risk of violating the "no playoff talk" rule and angering the gods, it needs to be pointed out that none of the NFC teams know what their final playoff seeding is. That means that there are a lot of NFC games with "playoff relevance" as far as seedings go.

You're not the boss of me! For a lot of season ticket holders, it's a big chunk of their discretionary income. Selling the tickets is a very common way of defraying some of the cost. I don't agree with the practice and I've said before that the secondary market should allow a season ticket holder to sell to a "verified fan" of the home team. Surprised/disappointed that this easy option is not yet available.

It will be glorious to vanquish our biggest rivals/nemesis in one playoff season. We would: 1) Get revenge against the Bengals for the '22 Divisional Round 2) Keep our status as postseason Daddies to the Ravens ("now about that MVP conversation...") 3) Get the monkeys off our backs against the Chiefs I don't really care who we beat in the Super Bowl.

I think because he's only played 12 games and less than half of all offensive snaps that he needs the work to shake off the rust and get into game shape (he's missed the last two games). Also he has to help eat up some of the snaps today... especially with Amari not playing.

We can watch porn any night... this is football Sunday!!! I think you misunderstood my post. The last 14 game season was in 1977.

I saw where the offseason jobs program between the CFL and Canadian Tire has been scaled back. The coaches now only receive a 5 gallon pail with assorted promotional merchandise and giveaways. It includes a pretty sweet tire pressure gauge though.

Per PFT: "It’s the second straight year in which the Browns have fired an offensive coordinator. After the 2023 season, Alex Van Pelt got the boot after a playoff appearance for the Browns. Head coach Kevin Stefanski, the 2023 coach of the year, earned his shot to be a head coach through his work as an offensive coordinator. The chronic failures of the offense, however, have not yet stuck to him. Dorsey had been fired by the Bills during the 2023 season. He was one of several offensive coordinators who crash-landed on their feet in 2024. Van Pelt became the offensive coordinator in New England. Luke Getsy, fired by the Bears, was hired by the Raiders. Shane Waldron, out with the Seahawks after Pete Carroll was fired, got the Bears job. All of them except Van Pelt already have been fired. And, based on the Patriots offensive performance this season, Van Pelt could make it a clean sweep." https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/browns-first-offensive-coordinator-ken-dorsey

FWIW according to Google AI, the Bills hold the record in a 14 game season with 13 different players. It doesn’t say what year that is though. Accounting for the longer season, that prorates to 15.79 different players over 17 games.
