Two Ex Bills (Hughes & Howard) Were the Stars of the Texans Tie with the Colts

Howard only ran 6 pass routes and had two targets?   It just happened that they were TDs and one was defensive mix up someone said above.   Not sustainable I would think but all the best to all the ex Bills.

This.

 

I rarely make these type of statements but any somewhat athletic person (as long as they catch it/running correct route) could have scored that 2nd TD.

He's brought in throwaways at QB 4 of the last 4 seasons.  

 

Can you imagine if McBeane offered Bills fans, year after year,  the pu pu platter of Brissett, Rivers, Wentz and now Ryan?  lol, come on--there isn't even any sarcasm that works for this.

 

The Indy GM and the man who hired Frank Reich is Chris Ballard.

I always liked Jerry but he was maddening to watch - especially last season.  
 

I could never figure out Jerry over his last few seasons in Buffalo.  He regularly found a way to get pressure but he rarely brought the QB down.  I can’t explain why.  Either the QB would throw it right before he got there or he’d miss a tackle.  His pressure rate was excellent but his sacks were extremely low - he had 2 sacks all of last season!  
 

Hate to say this but in the playoffs against KC he was very close to sacking Mahomes on the final completion.  That kind of summed up Hughes in Buffalo his last few years.  

 

I think a big part of the explanation for Hughes' "close but no cigar" play is that sacks are more a function of team play than most people think.

 

As for Jerry Hughes he's probably still better than Epenesa but he's making a lot more than Epenesa and is at the end of his career.

Won't be happy if Howard goes on to become All Pro like Wyatt Teller.

 

lol--he's never even made the Pro Bowl (with Brady).  His QB is now Davis Mills.  

 

 

Your happiness is secured...

Let’s pump the brakes  a little with your last point…I don’t “fear” them exactly but it’s way early to be writing them off..

 

I put a lot more stock in the thumping the Colts gave us last year than their performance in this Week 1 game ( which wasn’t a loss) ..

 

The Bills will probably put in a bad performance at some stage this year against one of the bottom feeders as well ( like they did last year..)

 

I didn't write them off, what I wrote was any fear was "greatly alleviated" and it certainly was.  When you have expectations such as the Bills do this year, a tie for a potential competitor, is as good as a loss IMO, especially to the Texans.

The rule is the rule and Jerry can afford the $5k.

[C.Biscuit97]

Thank god the nfl took care of this. There are kids watching. 

[NewEra]

Refs always gettin after poor Jerry

[Big Turk]

sounds about right...a lot of players get fined for these things on a weekly basis but you never hear about it.

[Over 29 years of fanhood]

No 

Fun

So, I guess kilts are out of the question.

[Plano]

send $5k in pennies to the NFL HQ.

 

I'd troll them so hard if I was a player.

Meanwhile, Steven Nelson's (#21 in the picture) knee is also exposed.

tranny cheerleaders are OK but please God, no knees

Colts need to clean house.  Frank has to go...

After that fiasco yesterday, it is looking that way. Two of their easiest opponents and getting shut out by the Jaguars.  Next week they are going against the Chiefs.  Hope Frank can turn it around, he is great at comebacks.

strange, sounds like that reporter is multi-tasking. Such is the literary standard of a UK tabloid

[buffaloboyinATL]

Apparently going to a new team did not diminish the officials love for Jerry Hughes.  

[Food_Pyramid_Wrong]

and what about #21 right behind him? Looks like a uniform problem to me. If they don't want exposed knees, why don't they all just wear ultra light leggings under the uniform pant? That then becomes the new 'uniform'.

Not unless he's under center...
