  1. I think he was saying no excuses for taylor at least for today, and he's right.
  2. Taylor was horrible today. No doubt about that.
  3. The D gets zero pressure because the talent level on the d-line is abysmal. Hughes is the best of the bunch by far, and he's not even really average for a pass rushing specialist DE.
  4. Kirby is one of the best and most informed posters on this site. Childish insults are a weak way to debate.
  5. Because that was neither the point nor the subject of my post. The Bills' future qb is in all likelihood going to be drafted early in late April.
  6. Did you tead what I actually wrote?
  7. We have video — https://deadspin.com/even-a-naked-idiot-on-the-field-found-the-end-zone-in-b-1820376865
  8. Eagles? How has Schwartz done against Brees historically? By way of comparison: In 12 games now, McDermott defensive squads have now given up an average of slightly over 30 points per game vs Brees/sean payton. That’s a large sample size, and with this sort of stuff i put stock in past history.
  9. I thought they looked like a Super Bowl team.
  10. Hate to break it to you, but Nathan Peterman is in no way, shape, or form the Bills qb of the future. That person will likely be drafted early in next year’s draft. Peterman is basically tj yates/case keenum - below average athletes who can manage games when the starter goes down. Yates was drafted in the fifth round.
  11. Awesome play
  12. Yup. He is clearly no longer a playmaker.
  13. I have been a pretty vocal defender of the concept that Taylor is a decent qb, but he was awful today. Anyone pointing to the defense to defend him today is essentially crusading. I am beginning to have serious doubts about him. Hopefully he can bounce back, but the schedule doesn't really get any easier.
  14. Easy - root for my brother to have a good game in a loss.
  15. Good piece: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2017/11/10/thursday-night-football-should-be-illegal-was-seahawks-cardinals-the-tipping-point/?hpid=hp_hp-top-table-main_football-11am-winner%3Ahomepage%2Fstory&utm_term=.5a881685e697 Last night's game was an injury fest. So many stoppages of play.
  16. When people bring this up, I always look to Paul Posluzny. Except for 2014, when he missed half the season, he has missed very little time in his seven years in Jax despite playing a highly injury-prone position (LB). Bills fans thought he was a China doll.
  17. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/the-nfl-is-reeling-and-the-jerry-jones-roger-goodell-rift-doesnt-help/2017/11/10/2f60432a-c62b-11e7-afe9-4f60b5a6c4a0_story.html?hpid=hp_hp-top-table-main_goodell-355pm%3Ahomepage%2Fstory&utm_term=.92d4a36885c1
  18. Jason Peters tore two achilles in quick succession and then returned to have a series of all-pro seasons. Just about everyone gets injured for substantial stretches in the NFL. It's the one thing you can accurately predict about NFL players' careers. People need to make their peace with this.
  19. Yup. Practically every player in the NFL gets hurt at some point. It's part of the game.
  20. Dunno. I have to think it helps some. They are part of every sport, but outside of the other blood sports (boxing, MMA), football is off the charts relative to the others. Fast, huge, and exceptionally strong guys taking each other out is going to lead to concussions.
  21. Dareus' 2014 season was statistically one of the best seasons by a Bills defensive player in team history. I don't think they're comparable. Robinson was never good.
  22. As long as guys are driven into the ground on a regular basis (where helmets often bounce on the ground) and as long as linemen knock heads on basically every play, the issue will remain.
  23. If he had the injury last season, the Patriots knew he could play with it. pretty simple. He was good for them last season. Had a big SB too, including drawing the game-clinching PI in OT.
