Mr. WEO

His 3rd love letter in a year! Here's his love letter to the Rams: “I’ve been wearing blue and orange forever, (so) everything just looks weird, but it feels extremely right," Miller said. "Feels right to be here. Feels like this is the right thing for me. (No.) 40 looks weird, but it feels right. Being here with all these guys, it’s really a dream come true, man. (Denver) definitely did me right by sending me to such a legendary franchise with a legendary team.” Miller and Donald are two of the greatest pass rushers of their generation, and they'll team up for at least the rest of this season in a partnership with the potential to reconfigure the NFC race. While the Rams have taken statistical steps back after fielding the league's best defense last season, sending Miller after quarterbacks alongside Donald and Leonard Floyd adds new dimensions to a unit that already leads the NFL with 25 sacks. “I feel like it frees us all up,” Miller said. “They’ll try to figure out creative ways to triple-team and double-team, but it can’t possibly be that effective. We’ve got great coaches. We’ve got great guys playing on this team, and we’ll be able to figure it out. ... You hear stories of the Fearsome Foursome, you hear stories of this legendary defense, and we want to recreate that. They’ve been playing great defense all year. I just want to add some of the things that I do best.” “I’ve heard stories on how incredible it is, and how the Super Bowl is going to be there this year,” Miller said. “Hopefully that will be us playing there.” “We’re playing,” Miller said, “for a chance to go to football heaven.” And to the Broncos:

Correction: 3-4 in his last starts, not 3-5.

They went 6-3 in those starts. Trubisky went 3-5 in his last starts in Chicago the same year.

This is what I was trying to explain to doc. Seems to be the consensus opinion in their fanbase. They would rather have Trubisky start and if he tanks, replace him with the rookie than the other way around.

The consensus over there in Steeler land seems to be that Mitch start because if he gets the hook, Pickett goes in a a much better scenario for their future QB then to have him go in behind that O-line, struggle and then fall back on Trubisky. fear not.

how hard would it be to have a higher QB rating than Lamar Jackson?

Should hire Kelce as our DC--at least he recognized the weakness of the Bills D alignment (twice) in those fateful seconds. Frazier is a mannequin.

über or taxi from airport plus another from stadium. Rental is much cheaper. drive all you want. tailgate in it. live.

Their O-line stinks. Not good for the Mitchster

What if it was windy tho........

Peters still has that Chip Kelly physical conditioning in him..... If the Bills start Peters for a single game, and then replace him with Doyle, Peters greatness (also as a coach) will simply transfer to Doyle much in the same way it did to Vaitai---and the Bills will then win the SB!!!

They also aren't going to sit around quietly while Mitch heads to 4-13. He is the greatest 6 completion (well, 7, if you include the INT) QB ever to wear the Bills jersey!!

lol...doc.

Peters didn't play years ago. But a good LT is important yes. The Bills should have never let Jason Taylor go.....lol!

I guess.

nope https://www.si.com/nfl/steelers/news/pittsburgh-steelers-indicate-mitch-trubisky-starting-qb The incumbent is Rudolph

Has he been named starter?

can I post a different score here than in the other thread? I think everyone should use this thread as a hedge against their first prediction over there. It's best to wait until Thursday and then post here in case of any late breaking news!

does anyone feel uncomfortable with all this national expectation? express yourself in a new thread...

I'm not an expert in bulls---t medicine. Despite Kelly's "conditioning program" they stunk the last 2 of his 3 seasons. But somehow, 2 years after he was gone, this magical conditioning was the reason for the Eagles to win a SB without the aid of their Future Hall Of Fame LT? lol come on....you are redefining "muscle memory"... If penalties made it "illegal" to do anything but form tackle the QB, you would have seen a huge increase in called penalties immediately after the rule changes. Not so. As far as the changes--they predate "2010" by over a decade: 1995 was when the "throwing down/full weight" on the QB rule started. 2002 was when the no helmet to helmet on the QB started. 2006 was when the "low hit on the QB" came into play. The "reinterpretation in 2010" did not result in a jump in penalties called--there were 100, compared with 121 in 2005. So you're way off with you claim. The "great" players are so because they last a lot longer than the "good" ones? They are going to have to kick a lot of guys out the HOF then.... Yes, Peters lasted a long time---racking up Pro Bowl nods/padding his resume on mediocre Offenses for 6 of the past 7 years. The one exception is where they became a top 3 in scoring and won a SB with him off the active roster. You are making a very powerful case lol.

Possible. But many if not most colleges screen athletes for this. Plus, one would think that this is something a family would want to warn others about to increase awareness.

The other thread is 295 pages. This thread has many miles to go...

That's a green light for a third thread on this same WBEN article...

Kelly's conditioning program was despised in Philly. There's no chance it's affect was felt 2 years later with a different coaching staff/methods. Bills didn't lose SBs because Bruce was neutralized by a LT. Of course good line play is essential for team success. Great line play by one guy is not. The Browns Offense would have been better with AP than Thomas---simply because they could not have been any worse than they were with Thomas. They needed playmakers. LT isn't a playmaker. When your Defense sucks, you need to score points. AP was a generational talent. The NFL has seen such RBs succeed behind bad O-lines. Cleveland's O-line was bad even with a "future HOFer" on it, by the way. All this talk about "rule changes"...no rules have prevented later/dirty/cheap shot hits. They still happen all the time--only we complain when we disagree with the call. In the past 20 years, despite several rule changes, the number of roughing the passer penalties hasn't changed much. There were 107 called in 2003, a whopping 128 in 2004, same in 2005---yielding a rate of around 0.5 per game. By 2009, it had dropped down to a mid 1990's level of 0.26. It didn't get above .45 again until 2018 (all of this encompassed Thomas's entire career, obviously). This isn't about all the bad decisions of the Bills in the past. This is about one that wasn't bad. When the cupboard is bare, you take the best of what you have and offer it for sale to restock.
