  1. They dont give 1/2 sacks for flushes, only gnag tackles. While he got pressure, I think Dareus woulda gottan him regardless on that one. He was in their clean

    Technically it was a QB pressure, which are important plays as well.

  2. It should be noted that the position of the administration - and I believe the courts as well - is that if this provision is struck down, it doesn't affect any other provision of the bill.

     

    So instead of not buying health insurance, paying the cheaper federal fine, and picking up health insurance as-needed because the pre-existing condition limitation will be illegal, you can instead not buy health insurance and have absolutely no repercussions for it. Striking down only this provision of the law makes it an even stupider law. :wacko:

    Wait, now they're saying that the mandates doesn't affect any other provision? Before they said it was central to the law working.

     

    Forget about AMC, Barry has gone full retard. :rolleyes:

  3. Ok, gotcha & knew that. I still don't see how that affects the Bills going after him which is what BlueFire said (I think it had zero impact). I would seriously doubt that the Bills carry 3 qbs on the active roster unless they designate Smith as a QB. He'll be their package QB and emergency QB. If someone goes down for an extended time and the coaches don't have faith in Smith taking significant snaps then they will activate an extra QB.

     

    How did the rule change influence the Bills to sign Smith?

    BlueFire is saying with the rule change, the Bills planned on designating Smith as their 3rd QB, and since the 3rd QB is now always active on gamedays, he can be used all game long as a QB, WR, or RB, saving a roster spot at WR or RB.

  4. So they've increased the game day roster (no sarcasm, I'm asking)? If not...makes no difference. He takes one roster spot and fills multiple roles.

    No. In the past, the 3rd QB, which almost every team has, was only active if the first 2 QB's got injured (and if he entered before the 4th quarter, the 1st and 2nd QB couldn't re-enter the game). That rarely ever happened, meaning the 3rd QB was almost always inactive. The new rule is that the 3rd QB is active the entire game. So while not increasing the game day roster, it's increasing the number of active players.

  5. I'm not so sure about that. He could have been carried as a RB, WR, KR, PR and still have had packages where he played QB.

    If he was kept as a WR or RB, it eliminates a spot for someone else. The 3rd QB was almost always a filled position, but before was never active unless he had to come into the game.

  6. Being loved and having the Millions to fix the field are 2 different things. Solider field is owned and ran by the city the Bears are just tenants there and while they have said they do not like the new grass I have yet to see the owner of the Bears fork out the cash to get the field done.

     

    If Chan were smart he would sit most the starters like the Pats did that way there is nothing to really worry about let them have the night off and in a few weeks they can start the season injury free

    As Marcellosaurus said, it's also a matter of the Bears not wanting to risk their players.

  7. Yeah, doesn't make sense to me either.

     

    On the right, you have Roberts, Scalia, Thomas and Alito.

    On the left, you have Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan.

     

    And then there's Kennedy who, I think, would vote with Roberts et al. on this issue.

     

    Hell, you might even get one of the justices on the left to vote with Roberts and company.

    I'm betting at least one does. And that Kagan is asked to recuse herself.

  8. It makes me think of the Sabres post lockout, when they took advantage of some rules changes (or changes in emphasis) and really surprised a lot of people. It seems like by making our biggest FA signing a glorified KR, we've kind of done the opposite.

    He's far from a glorified KR, but he'll still get his chances to do it. The Jets underutilized him on offense, but Gailey won't.

  9. The bit shows just how much these guys know about the teams. Liam's mom had a better grasp on the situation when she predicted 8-8.

     

    If you look at the Bills' schedule, even with last year's team, I'd say they would win 7 games (both Dols, Oakland, Cincy, Denver, Tennessee, and Washington, and none of those teams improved themselves, if not got worse). With the improvements on the Bills, they should win an additional 2-3 games (KC, SD, Jets or Giants).

  10. There are more right leaning supreme court judges than left leaning ones. Unless I misunderstood you, what the hell are you talking about???

    Yep, more right-leaning judges. And they don't want to be the ones to set a (bad) precedent by saying that the government forcing people to buy something (and in this case, a private product, which is even worse) is right and/or Constitutional.
