The Eagles aren't considering this, as best as I've heard locally. Even if it might be a good idea, Kelly keeps trying to build with "character guys". Honestly against the likes of Riley Cooper TO could beat some people out on that roster.

I'm pissed about Sammy, but Tyrod had great chemistry with Goodwin in preseason. Spend the week, get Sammy and Karlos back for a tough game vs Cincy.

I'll agree that they haven't lived up to the hype. So far they aren't playing as well as they did at the end of last year. But the run defense is legit. And we've played probably the best passing teams we are likely to play all season. I think a decent performance gets it done ridat.

Yeah. They also asked when the fines were coming in on the Bills.

I'm finding it hilarious that Giants fans who are crying about fining OBJ, and lamenting that you can't play physical anymore are the ones crowing about Hughes getting fined double.

I'm worried about the run game since it struggled even with Karlos last week. Without both Karlos and Shady... But the fact that Mariota is the 4th longest to hold the ball, coupled with the fact that some not terribly good teams have been pounding the snot out of him makes me think it's a good game to get back on track.

I love the Sabres jersey.

If we can force a turnover from the Giants, we're right back in this thing.

FINALLY!!!

where are the intermediate routes?

Jeez, it looks like the Jets took our same game plan. Again.

Well, they know what's going to be the prettiest part of the game.

Have they done the interview yet at the 9 am hour?

It's hard, because I hate both, but I'm rooting for the Dolphins. I want Philbin still coaching in a few weeks when we play them, and I want the Jets 2-2.

I wouldn't be shocked if they removed him from GM duties though. It's hard doing double duty and Chip has simply let go talented players to get nothing back

I like that the nickname G-Ro is catching on.

That was my thinking. I honestly think our plan to contain TY Hilton is a good base model of OBJ, especially with Darby coming along nicely: jam him on the line with Darby and have Graham help over top as a safety valve, shut down Randle with Gilmore and keep blitzing Eli all day long.

I can give the Philly talking head perspective FWIW. The general idea is that the Giants are ok, and when Eli gets rolling he gets rolling. But with Cruz out, there really isn't a dynamic threat to worry about on offense right now and unless Eli has a stellar day the Bills will be alright.

Hey, that is NOT how we refer to Urbik!!! But seriously I am worried at all the players we are choosing to sit. I thought one might be back at least.

Yeah, this is where I am too. Obviously I want the Bills to win, but if we chance losing an NFC game without them to have Sammy and Shady fully ready for the Titans and Cincy I understand completely.

Well, Johnson had a size advantage but I don't remember Gilmore getting caught holding Johnson, just the question of whether he got him out that one play.

That might be fair, but even when he is on, do we think Gilmore (still our best overall corner IMHO) would have problems handling him like he did Johnson?

Maybe other people have broken down the tape more, so do you see any receiving threats other than OBJ that we wouldn't trust in single coverage with Gilmore or Darby? At the moment I'm seeing a game plan similar to the Colts: double the speedy receiver (Hilton/OBJ) with Darby and Graham over top, single cover the bigger receiver (Johnson/Randle) trust Robey and Butler in single coverage all day and constantly blitz. Any weaknesses in that?

Geez both sides look awful.

Nice play Cockrell. Whoops
