The new Spector for the next 2 weeks.

Fair. I get it. I'm just right across the fence from you.

I'd argue health > home game. I would have much rather played last years playoff game in KC if it meant we would have been totally healthy. I think we win in KC with a complete team, lose at home with the injuries.

Couple of things. First, that is a time honored tradition and part of baseball. The players expect it and know it's part of the show. Total different game and traditions and expectations. Same way if a player was ejected for throwing a punch, we wouldnt say "guess you've never seen hockey where players throw punches all the time". Second, I was not someone critical of Dorsey on his outburst, I'm just calling out the board hypocrisy. I was fine with Dorsey because it was 1. emotion shown in trying to win the game and 2. away from everyone up in the booth and 3. anger is more easily excused in sports than... whatever emotion you want to call what Stroud was dealing with yesterday. Now, if Dorsey had an outburst during the middle of the game and then couldnt properly call plays the next coiple of series, then he should be criticized. Hence, I am questioning Stroud but not Dorsey.

Health is still the biggest factor for me, even over seeding and home games. JMO.

I dont know. Not all pressures are created equally. Feels kinda like the LB who tallies a lot of tackles but theyre all 7 yards downfield.

Yeah, a 3 year extension would keep him until he is 29. I think now-2027 is his prime.

We've already been resting guys the last 2 games. Of course we will rest guys the next 2 as well. Now, what remains to be seen is WHO and to what extent. If Chiefs beat the Steelers this week, then we rest guys the next 2 weeks, and maybe Josh doesnt play at all week 18. Not real happy with his elbow contusion on his throwing arm at this point. Being healthy in the playoffs is more important than winning games right now.

This is the most important part for me. For years, I wondered why we couldnt find a guy who had the threat to take it to the house every play, and often would. I thought maybe that just wasnt part of the NFL anymore. It's so awesome to have a RB who, if he can get to the 2nd level clean, has a good chance of taking it all the way to the end zone. Total game changer. I'll also add that Cook has been a LOT more physical this season. Even running OVER guys a couple times. That is new this year, as previously the big criticism was if you get a hand on him he would go down. I think he's one of the few RBs who has earned himself a second contract. Maybe a 3 year extension.

He's the next Tua of the AFC East. Will be just good enough that the Pats will be forced to give him a big contract, yet we'll never lose a game to him (except maybe week 18 when we arent trying).

I do not look forward to seeing more of Elam and Spector these last 2 games, but I'll take it over potentially injuring one of our starters and having to see them play in the playoffs.

Sometimes. But he played much better at the line and blitzing.

I've mentioned this a few times, but I fully believe Terry and the Marketing department are waiting until after we win a Super Bowl with Josh. Then they'll break out the 90s throwbacks the next season. Imagine the home opener after winning a SB, and Josh and the boys come out in the 90s uniforms for the banner ceremony, and all the old 90s Bills are on the field with them. Highmark would be nuts.

Well, that's because it mostly turned when Cook came in. But the Defense definitely improved when Williams came in for Spector.

Love it. Also gotta say, at 6'8" 315lbs, with that neck role and visor... total bad ass.
