or do they go out and try to deal for/attract a top QB from another team to move west?

And this Sunday they get a diet of Herbig 6.5 sacks, Watt 7 sacks, with Heyward pushing the pocket. Not gonna be pretty in the steel city.

Facing Watt, Herbig, Heyward after the display on Thursday in Houston isn't reassuring, esp if Brown is down and Dawkins isn't playing great. Hopefully Brady will come up with a scheme that allows his MVP QB to do that thing he does.

And that culture like a fish starts at the top. Al Davis revolutionized football in many ways, but his family hasn't carried the torch very well. In the In the 15 seasons since Al died they have won less than 40% of their games, made the playoffs as a w/c twice and have a total of three seasons at .500 or above.

Actually Indy has as many [13 if you count Brown & Bernard]. Detroit, 49ers and Houston are next with 12 on IR. There are 20 teams with winning records. Average number on IR for those 20 is 10 players.

Sirianni not a happy camper.

Saquon with another key fumble.

Philly not afraid to let their franchise quarterback use his legs. Also both these QB's seem to have pretty competent receivers.

I was at the Saints game, 3-0 going in, perfect day few Saints fans in the stadium, took us until halfway through Q4 to assert ourselves against one of the worst teams in the league.

Eagles have a couple of nice WR's.

PFF ranks Elam 61 amongst cornerbacks. Bills CB's are Taron at 69, Benford at 74, Tre' at 86. Hairston would be at 39 if he had played enough to qualify.

Denver has allowed just 12 QB sacks on the season. They do have three studs on the O-Line in Bolles, Meinerz, and McGlinchey. For reference Josh is up to 28 sacks.

yes in the playoffs they have a referee and a couple of the other crew members who have worked multiple spots waiting in the wings. I notice the ref in the Houston game, who is a University at Buffalo grad, has been working in the league since 2010 and has also worked as a side judge, line judge, and field judge.

I did just notice that Denver, which has allowed only 2 sacks all season, has their C and LG playing on contracts for just around $1MM per year.

Hairston appears to have promise, but is a rookie. Cam Lewis was exposed yesterday at the end of the first half. Taron and Tre are at end of useful life, Benford has regressed. The way they have played this season, none of our CB's would be considered among the top CB's in the league, although our brain trust let Rasul Douglas walk and he is playing like a top CB once again.
