may be an unpopular opinion but i think damar hamlin deserves to be benched, he’s out there and yes he has 2 interceptions but they are all straight to him he is just out there , slow and scared to make big tackles

 

He's playing pretty well. Why replace him with an unknown? He's not the most physically gifted, but what area of his game specifically do you have an issue with?

 

EDIT Watch his mic'd up, doesn't seem afraid to hit to me

Exactly. In the last game I noticed a couple of tackles where he shot in there and wrapped up with no hesitation.

Tua has been salty af since he's come back.  Truthfully, I'm more convinced now than before that he'll never be a true franchise QB that can lead his team deep into the playoffs.

The fans eating chips have as many playoff wins as he does.  It seems to me he's trying to be someone he's not for whatever reason.

Not a good take.   Not as bad as Sammy, but not a good look.   Being an NFL fan is an expensive hobby and having an attitude with fans is not a good look when your bag is 50 mil per year.

Dolphins fans must hate us like we hated the Pats for all of those years.

 

They really can't beat us - and I don't think they're going to start on Sunday.  Not to sound arrogant about it, but it's just one of those match-ups.  We have a harder time w/ worse teams, like the Jets & Pats.

FYIW, The Athletic beat writer for the Bills agrees Hamlin is the weak spot on the defense: "Hamlin remains the most significant question mark, as his play-it-safe style, along with hesitance to dip down into the play has cost the team a lot of yardage over the season."

I agree that he is a weak spot on the defense.

But it sure as hell isn't because he's scared or won't tackle.

Not only does he willingly give himself up to absorb contact on a regular basis, he is also one of the more reliable tacklers on this team.

He may be limited athletically and he may not be the kind of guy running around looking for killshots, but suggesting he's afraid is ignorant and wrong.

Pat Kirwan on nfl radio also pointed out Hamlin as the bills weakness on D. And McD is using smoke and mirrors to elevate the safety play

With Cooper and Samuel both dinged up and Limited today, that puts us back to Coleman, Hollins, Shakir as the wideouts.

Any thoughts on a more dynamic receivers lineup if both Cooper and Samuel are out, perhaps play Cook as WR and Davis as the RB?

Nah, you still go with Kincaid split out to the Y if you’re down to that trio bro.

By the way, folks, the Bills are only three more wins away from evening the all-time series with the stinking Fish, despite going 0-for-20 in the 70s.  The series record currently stands at 59-62-1 (including playoffs).

 

See? All ya gotta do is live long enough.. 😉🤣

Cooper and Samuel were both listed as limited in practice today

You're right - Bills had only one DNP and that was personal, I guess all the fish DNP's confused me.

Did Tua really say that?

 

That's such lame-ass *****.   Suppose Tua's mom had surgery and the surgeon, who spent years training and is highly paid to perform mistake-free surgery, botched the operation then told Tua "I'd like to see a lot of other people scrub up and go in the ER and try to perform that surgery...it's not as easy as it looks sitting in the waiting room eating chips."  Tua would be piping mad, I'd bet.

 

Tua is paid literally millions of dollars, $9.5M this season to be exact, to play QB at a high, professional level.  Over an 18 week season, that's $528k per game.  With an average of 62 snaps per game, that's $8,512.50 per snap.

 

Joe Sofa Spud may go out on the weekend to play rugby, or football, or soccer - as an amateur.  No one reasonable expects an amateur to perform at the level of one of the 32 best players in the world, who is getting paid $8,512.50 to handle every one of those 62 snaps flawlessly.

It's not that Tua can't and won't make mistakes, it's that part of being a professional is taking accountability.  "We can't have problems with the QB-C exchange, we'll be working on that".  Period.  All he needs to say.

Yea. Sounds like he’s already losing the mental battle game. Lashing out / hyper defensive is a coping mechanism

Damar is out there because the defensive coaching staff decided he's the best option available.  

 

I'm not sure why we'd want to bench him only to field a player who's worse.

No, no, no…..let him go on and keep digging that hole deeper. Love it!
