Gotta believe McBeane is/are thinking long-term here with respect to the secondary. No quick fixes with veteran FA signings, let the young guys show their stuff against an offense with a lot of weapons. Throw them all in the fire and see what we’ve got going forward. Seems like a reasonable strategy given the investments they’ve made, but it could get a little ugly at times as they learn to play individually and together. But just imagine if, somehow, we come out of this one with a solid showing by the secondary. When Dane, Tre, Jordan, and Micah are all healthy and back, that would just be an embarrassment of riches.

I see you, trying to butter us up. You've got Week 6 circled.

Sounds like they were expecting the same with the game in LA, and were all over the hydration thing. Seems like they did a bang-up job of it.

I was just so flabbergasted that Miami was throwing the ball so late in the game, and that Marino threw that interception. I mean, the odds of that all happening were pretty darn slim.

Please tell me this is true.

Well, yeah, I guess I was a bit more skeptical that we'll get both Oliver and Settle back. I think we'll see Settle, but not so sure about Oliver. I hope so, but if not, then the loss of Phillips is huge.

Damn it. Really need Phillips against Miami, and hamstrings have a way of lingering for a few weeks.

You mean you all don't have a pair of these beauties?

Well played, sir.

I watched much of that game, and it was just painful to watch the Steelers offense. No ability to get the ball downfield. A lot of that was Mitch, but their receivers are not helping him at all.

Still have those two for the Packers game available, if you're okay with splitting up.

Don't like the blue-on-blue myself, but my guess is the players like it best. Plus, they always seem to play awesome in those digs on national TV.

Any mention of wind speeds?

I received mine earlier this year.

Hey, I have zero love (or concern) for the Pokes, but that was a freak injury that can happen to anyone. As they say, there by the grace of God goes the Bills…(or something like that)…

Sorry man! The Vikings tickets sold just last week.

Happy birthday, SDS!! Keep trying, you’ll catch up to me eventually.

Not disagreeing with the overall sentiment, but just because some of those guys aren't on a team it doesn't mean they aren't as talented as guys currently on rosters. A lot of it has to do with their age, salaries, the cap, and GMs preferring guys they drafted.

Stafford isn't a great scrambler by any means, but I was still really impressed with how Basham chased him down on that one play and tackled him on the sidelines a yard behind the line of scrimmage for a sack. All effort.

Outstanding thread title. You'd win just for that.

I thought Daboll was a very good OC with some great game plans and stretches of really excellent playcalling. Also, periods of time when the planning and playcalling were real head scratchers. I'm hoping Dorsey will improve on that. He's got the creativity and all the tools, we'll just have to see.

Awesome!

Sometimes I think it would be entertaining to see the Bills ultimately pick up Rosen just to make him the #3 QB and relegate him to the practice squad, as a huge troll of the NFL draft gurus.

Yep, exactly what I was going to say.
