ROFL!

I feel like we may have settled for Tim a little too soon

[WideNine]

Banged-Up Bills indicated Settle strained his calf in preseason and those injuries linger for a while. That is why he has been often seen wearing the compression sleeve.

Not sure how much rest they will need to heal or how easily they could get reinjured during another contest - especially with Titans and Henry on the docket. Looks like the Bills made room to add Emili to the PS as insurance.

 

Titans are never a great matchup for us. They tend to slow games down, keep them close, and grind your defense down with a steady dose of Henry.

 

Still rely on a lot of timing routes with Tanny so curious if we will play more press to disrupt those, but they counter with more bunch formations.

 

Found it curious that they were throwing to Henry as much as they did. Henry does not exactly have soft mitts and it gets him going East and West. I would take 15 attempted swing passes to Henry over 15 runs between the tackles.

In email headings if I have no further comment I put "nm" for "no more" (no message obviously, too), as in no more to the message and you don't have to open up.

 

 

 

Around here we use "belinda"

Every time I’ve seen than acronym, it’s always either “Near Mint” or “Never Mind”.

 

In my world it's "no money"

I thought that was @HOUSE 

[Royale with Cheese]

At least we have DaQuan Jones....he's excellent in the middle.

 

I have a feeling Oliver plays but Settle is out.

We should have kept Star, he might have been ready this week

 

Certainly not for week 1 guaranteeing him salary for entire year.  Bills may consider him on practice squad if he pays his own medical bills.

It's gonna be Shaq time. He's very good vs the run.

Plus getting him and JPhillips back against Lewan is always a good time. I'm not against having Epenesa inactive and rotating Shaq in to be better against a run-heavy team. Could balance out losing Settle. Plus we still have DJones in the middle too.

When you settle you agree to something less than you want. I like Settle

Not ideal....

 

Settle and his calf has me concerned.  Calf muscle are one of the hardest to heal.

 

 

You have an unhealthy fascination with the man’s calves.  I hope for his sake it’s not sexual.

This is a great thread about abbreviations.

LOL. That harkens back to the very early days of TSW. Some real characters from that period. Many of them have disappeared.

[White Linen]

We need to take the early lead, grow the lead and force them to chase the scoreboard.   It'll make them change how they like to play offense.

Star would have really opened things up for Von Miller...
