  1. Theory was, given his size, you move Douglas to safety for a couple of years if he's still competitive.
  2. They also let Mathieu walk when he was one of the top safeties in the league.
  3. Um - I think the Cards returning the kickoff after we had just scored to go up by 11 was probably a play Smiley's crew would like back, and giving up the deuce on the conversion just puts a point on it.
  4. Josh is like all the best point guards. Great passer & distributor, but also can score the goal [or get the first down] when he needs to.
  5. Mahomes is the son of a former MLB player, was a talented HS pitcher who could hit, suspect his arm flexibility comes from his baseball days.
  6. I think you can add Morse to that list. His age and concussion history weren't promising. McGovern and Josh can hopefully be Kelly/Hull 2.0.
  7. Bills weren't going to be able to afford Gabe in Free Agency, $24MM guaranteed at signing. Lots of $$ for a 45 reception 750 yard WR who only caught 55% of his targets. Beane made a business decision.
  8. Yes, and Lewis' ability to play both Nickel and Dime DB is paying dividends in obvious passing situations. Ravens have the top rated TE in the league in Likely, so our Safeties will be tested by Lamar, King Henry, and Likely.
  9. The commentators specifically mentioned the well executed screen to Cook.
  10. It's a long season. Hopefully the rook learned his lesson. The snaps he missed went to others, which will benefit our depth later in the season.
  11. Bills must have emphasized tackling during the mini-bye, back 7 are wrapping up short of the sticks.
  12. Beane picked the Jets pocket with Codrington
  13. Hoping that having a couple "bigger " [230 - 235] linebackers will help the Bills do a better job of keeping Etienne under control. Except for Morse, Jag's O-Line seems pedestrian.
  14. Raiders will have to leave their stadium with heads in a paper bag after this.
  15. Cleveland lost 3 OL starters today, Deshaun gonna be running for his life
  16. Texas Memorial Stadium and the Alamodome are 80 miles apart in a 5 million person metro area. In football mad [Friday Night Lights] Texas, about the same distance as Rochester or Toronto to OP.
  17. My daughter lived in SD for 10 years after college, for some of them her apartment was right down the street from Qualcomm. There are way too many things to do in San Diego on a beautiful fall/early winter afternoon other than watching football. That's part of the problem. I do think if they can overcome Jerrah & McNair, I could definitely see a team based in either Austin or San Antonio. 5 million people live in those two adjacent metropolitan areas, those two [after San Diego] are the largest cities without a team.
  18. PFF has Benford ranked as the Top Cornerback in the league through the first two weeks of the season. He ranks first in what they call their advanced coverage grade, which measures how well they cover to force QB's to throw elsewhere. Hope Beane has this factored into his salary cap future planning.
  19. Actually if you start with New England [Most north easterly team], stay with 4 team divisions, and then build each division by adding the next closest team, First East Division would be NE, Jets, Giants, Eagles. Bills would be in a division with Steelers, Ravens, Commanders. Won't happen, Jerruh likes those east coast TV ratings and the dollars they bring.
  20. While I am pleased with the 2-0 start, I am concerned about how our lads go "flat" from time to time. First 25 minutes vs. Cards, Second half vs. Fish other than the Pick-6. 3 of 8 quarters the offense hasn't scored. Bills 27 Jags 14
  21. I think that they should be able to have 53-55 active on game day, and increase the number of PS callups before a player has to go on the active roster. Bills for example have been playing a lot of dime due to LB injuries. Doesn't take too many in game injuries to be very short handed in the defensive backfield. Expect to see Worthy [4.21 40] run the Tyreek jet sweep, his speed is a mismatch for the current group of Bills DB's.
  22. Losing your bell-cow RB this early isn't great. Pacheco has a pretty solid pass blocking grade as well. He was #8 in the league in RB snaps.
  23. Yeah, the league needs to look at those types of plays. With the NFL "spot of the foul" rule, those are game changers.
