I mean, Ed’s played 2.5 games and Hoecht played 1.5, and they were only on the field together in the Carolina game, so they’ve basically generated their pressure on the season without them anyway… You have to wonder if, aside from Hairston, would McDermott have shuffled up his secondary without the injuries to Rapp and Johnson, and does he stick with what worked last week when Johnson is healthy.

I'm not disputing that Sanchez assaulted the man. Reports are that Sanchez body slammed him into a wall and then to the ground on a loading dock. I'm sure there were things on that dock that could have cut the man's face under the circumstances. The reports go on to say, fearing for his life, the man pepper sprayed Sanchez, and when he didn't relent he stabbed him multiple times. This would make Sanchez the stabbee. These are public accounts from the police report. There are no accounts in those reports that suggest Sanchez stabbed the man.

He was the stabbee not the stabber…

How are people going to get to the mall then?

I'm concerned with defensive injuries and chose the path with offenses that are less likely to exploit that.

If we play like we did Sunday, either scenario is fine. I voted for #5 with Chiefs and Ravens out, though, because we're already thin on defense and any further injuries is going to make containing Mahomes and Jackson/Henry awfully tough.

There's something about his name that rubs me the wrong way, but I just can't put my finger on it... 🤔

…maybe a better way of phrasing it would have been to say when they realized Gabe wasn’t a WR2. There were a lot of posters, myself included, pounding the table for at least a season before that to draft a cost-controlled WR with potential to be a future WR1 to slot Gabe further down the depth chart. In my opinion it wouldn’t have taken a ton of foresight to avoid the situation we’re currently in at WR, and there has been plenty of time to address it before it became urgent at the recent trade deadline.

The thing I always wonder is why Beane didn’t draft the heir apparent to Diggs while he was still on the roster and his output was declining… and continues to stubbornly ignore it now.

I was going to make a joke about wondering if Second Chance tasted as good as Chance... then I saw they skinned and taxidermy'd the first bull that they loved so dearly... these people are ####ed in the head.

In addition to good play by the DL… No Rapp. Bishop finally looked like a football player. Limited reps for Tre and Hairston looks like a player. Hancock and Poyer played well. As other more X and O oriented posters pointed out, Cam Lewis offers more flexibility in disguising coverage, and played in place of a struggling Taron Johnson. And instead of chasing down Mahomes they spied on him and bottled him up.

Part of the problem weeks 1-6 is the rush had to get home quickly because the coverage sucked. Hopefully that is improved.

Practice injury report... I was expecting this to be a list of all of the Bills injured during practice today.

Also, we know definitively that those are three QBs who have never been in my kitchen, Alex!!!

Yeah right... next you'll be suggesting we do that with Knox. 🤔

Maybe keep the TMI to yourself next time.

How is this rela... wait... are the Bills unveiling their new clones of Eric Moulds, Bruce Smith, and Ted Washington?!?!?!

Who are we playing, how many time outs do we have, and more importantly how many time outs do they have? Even with this offense, two minutes is an eternity.

If you take the “not progressing” at face value, it would at least suggest something they thought might heal with conservative management, like the initial approach with Eichel and his herniated disc. Hopefully it’s a case of clumsy wording by McDermott, like the shitstorm he started about his “concern” with Diggs not being at practice a few seasons back, and not actually career threatening. Maybe the bad news is they have to shut him down for the season and the conversations were around the need for surgery. Regardless, leaving this turd floating in the punch bowl the way he did, McDermott didn’t do Strong any favors. If they weren’t ready to have this conversation in public he should have been more tight lipped. I can only imagine that Strong’s phone has been blowing up all day after this.

You’re a sicko… You couldn’t just give them the keys?!?!

Would they continue to after a near miss is the question.

You have to assume, given the nature of this injury this early in his career, that there’s a pretty good chance he doesn’t make it to a second contract. Is $4.4M before taxes worth risking your ability to independently feed yourself for the rest of your life over?

I just heard here...

Man, I hate when I get vistors on the walls.

Physically or mentally?
