Maybe is still upset from when Jim Haslet cleated his bald melon.  He does have a history of holding grudges for excessive lengths of time.

 

Haslet Spikes Bradshaw

 

 

Thanks - I’ve been looking for that!

I can’t see it being anything else besides Motor, TJ and Taiwan Jones.

 

I don’t think they will dress 4 but you never know 

I’m wondering if Antonio Williams will get a shot.  I am guessing not...

I have laid out both of my offensive and defensive game plans in other threads, but there is one thing I didn't put enough emphasis on. 

 

I want us to hit Jackson on virtually every play.

 

If they are going to mess around with RPOs, faking hand offs, misdirection, whatever........  I want whoever is in charge of Jackson to hit him no matter whether he ends up with the ball or not.  He decides to pull it, HIT HIM.  He hands it off at the last second, HIT HIM.  Put him on the ground as much as possible.  I want him thinking about how no matter what decision he makes, how he is going to feel it. 

 

I don't want him to feel like he can just take as ling as he wants to to make a decision and not be punished for it.  You want to be a runner?  You want to delay the hand off until the last second?  Guess what.....you're going to feel it either way.  And let me tell you, getting hit and having to pick yourself off the ground in this weather is just a bit different.

Thinking back to the Super Bowl years. 7 home games over the 4 seasons, don't recall any where weather was all that terrible.  First year the Miami game was light snow, the 51-3 Oakland game was above freezing I believe?  Maybe the next year against Denver wasn't too good??  3rd year Houston comeback game was fine.  Last year played KC in the title game believe was OK, don't recall the first game, was it Miami again?

 

Never had any night games to deal with either were always 1:00 starts ll the years

Raiders game after 1993 season was coldest ever in OP.  Zero degrees. Bills won then played KC

If he is active I would guess maybe 3 offensive snaps.  No reason he would be in over yeldon unless he is really good at blitz pick up.

#19 in the fetal position is all I remember.

Snow continues to work its way out of the forecast for the game.

 

Wind continues to work its way into the discussion.

 

10-20mph with gusts up to 30mph all game! 

 

 

[Solomon Grundy]

Hopefully the Bills will get Smoke involved early with some quick passes. His presence/contribution in this game is gonna be Fucillo HUGE.

Barely anything. 

 

Doesn't matter. If Ravens win I guarantee all you'll hear next week is how brave Lamar was for fighting the conditions he's never had to play in and willing his team to a win

His biggest weakness at Louisville and from what I have seen in the NFL is at times his ball will float. he overthrows receivers when he is uncomfortable and I hope we see that and we can get at least one of those.
