Didn't Rex Grossman play Kyle Orton in the first National Championship game where NcNewknee had his original knee exploded? That's interesting that he is still in football.

The Dolphins would never take that trade. I think they are happy they have Tanny and more happy that the Bills have EJ. It is a no brainer for Buffalo.

You're funny.

Correct, there is nothing anyone can do about OBD incompetence except B word and moan. It is just the painfully stupid moves that continuously pile up that make this franchise a joke. Most of the NFL rested their 1s yesterday, but the Bills stroll out their injured 2014 and 2015 first round pick, only to . . . Suprise . . . suprise . . . get him re-injured on his first minor contact. BTW - I don't know what was illegal about either hit. They were actually pretty weak in the bigger scheme of things.

There isn't. Rib injuries do heal. Rib injuries heal by rest. Giving Sammy a solid month of no contact MAY allow Sammy's ribs to heal. (Its probably not his actual Rib Bones that are injured it is probably the muscle systems around his ribs that are injured and causing pain) Having grown men dive at Sammy's midsection (remember no more headhunting in the NFL) and throwing him to the ground where his midsection will come into violent contact with the ground does not qualify as resting. So on Week 1 when he is thrown to the ground by a grown man he will re-aggravate the rib injury, then in week 2 when he is thrown to the ground by a grown man, he will re-aggravate the rib injury, then in week 3 when he is thrown to the ground by a grown man, he will re-aggravate the rib injury and repeat until the end of the season. He will not have time for the ribs to heal unless he misses games. So if he did not play Yesterday he could have 3 weeks of no contact until Week 1. Here is the big decision point for OBD, Sammy could have missed 1 regular season game and got 1 month of no contact if he missed week 1. Where as throughout the rest of the year he would have to miss at least 3 regular season games (+BYE week) in order to get 1 solid month of rest. Which is a greater loss Sammy missing 1 game in order to achieve a solid month to heal or Sammy missing atleast 3 games to get a solid month to heal? You do raise a good point though, Sammy will definitely learn to play with injuries this year. That is for sure.

. . . As a result of playing him yesterday. That was a Washington Generals type of move.

That was yesterday.

Except in reality the starting offense and defense played in the 5th preseason game against the Detroit Lions 2s. The rest of the NFL rested their 1s this week. The Bills played their injured 2014 and 2015 First round 1 pick insead. So that is why. The Bills playing checkers when the rest of the NFL is playing chess.

The Problem is Ribs linger. Sammy will never be 100% until Maybe OTAs. Especially when you go out and get hit every week. If he rests from the Pittsburgh game on August 16th until the first game at Chicago on September 7th that is 3 weeks and 1 day. If you sit him for week 1 then gives you a solid month. Ribs don't heal quickly. They just don't. It'd almost be better if he broke his leg with no ligament damage then got his ribs banged up.

Good point not Giving the Browns a Top 10 pick would exceed expectations at this point in time.

Me too except the offense in preseason looks hopeless. I suspect that actual NFL players know what it takes to play in the NFL and the actual NFL players on the team may have ascertained that EJ doesn't have it. This has got to kill a player's motivation. I appreciate the effort. Thanks.

Thanks. I'm trying buddy. True Dat I'm trying too . . Popped again. It is scary when generally reasonable people like you can't see the positive either. I know I will be at the Bills Backers bar week 1, and going to the Home Opener but at this point in time if they're not 0-2, I'd be extremely shocked (Lazor has the Dolphins offense looking scary in preseason)

You likely didn't Watch the first half of the Tampa game. The Tampa offense was stuffed multiple times and put in 3rd and long multiple times. They were bailed out on 3rd and long by Ticky tack penalties.

Thank you.

EJ plays like an UDFA Sammy has banged up ribs that will linger all season until he is IRed. CJ runs backwards and gets stuffed. The defense looks great but is on the field too often to sustain that greatness. Instead of the usual late October or November pop, my hope bubble has officially popped in August. Anyone have a hope bubble left? If so why? Maybe I can inflate a new one.

Hill or maybe Winston can "steal" some more steak and get booted from the team. Winston has got to drop to the second in that case

On the bright side Drew Brees was the first pick of the second round.

The biggest problem is that a rib injury WILL linger all season. The only it way it heals is by rest. If Watkins plays he'll be continually getting tackled and thrown to the ground by fully grown men. Being thrown to the ground by fully grown men does not qualify as rest.

Exactly

I think now we know what the fuss was about. Marrone: I'm going to play Sammy and EJ on Thursday? Brandon: Whaaa . . . Whaley: You must be out your mind! Brandon: Wait . . .Whaaa . . . Whaley: Its your ass mutha ******! (walks way throwing hand up)

I am very confident that the Bills traded up for TY Hilton but Buddy Nix mistakenly gave the name of a 7th round prospect named TJ Graham.

Exactly.

Fact the Buffalo Bills run a hurry up offense. Where they stand before the ball is snapped is irrelevant The stated goal of the Hackett is to run as many plays as possible. The assumption would be you make first down in order to run more plays. However when the Hurry Up is not working you need to adjust. That is not happening. Changing to a more ball control offense and cater to the running strength would IMO help this team win.
