behind the obvious; that is, winning! This may be the most intelligent thing said onTBD in long long time . . . well done, well said

I think Gragg will soon develop into a top tier TE, I doubt the Bills will draft one, unless a real stud is there for the taking

I agree, except there was no clear evidence he was touched on the kick return

I'm sure Tannehill feels better now, with Bryant McKinney to protect him.

I think he's been inactive for about seven games

Really? Don't let the facts get in the way of your bad assumption: The Jets are winning in-spite of Geno, not because of him . . . it has way more to do with their Defense than their turn-over machine QB

you win, line of the day!

That would be a BIG assumption. Also, I believe Gragg is starting to get more playing time, I would ASSUME that is a good sign that he's coming along.

Go get'em Doug . . .

Maybe we could shop Kolb around?

I was very hard in CJ Spiller, but he was a number one pick, so I think it fair to have big expectations from him.

I hope they don't go for Dennis Dixon off our practice squad, I think he is good insurance all things considered now.

A classic moment on NFL history . . . RIP Bud Adams

ahhh? Best scenario for making the play-offs = Win Games!

As Mark Twain said: "There are lies, damn lies, and statistics." Sometimes you need to trust your eyes over the stats sheet. And what we have seen in the last two weeks is all the evidence I need: When the game was on the line in two straight games, the kick coverage units 1) did cost us a game last week, and 2) almost did it again this week. Moreover, throw in the Cleveland game for exhibit "B." A case could be made for pinning a lose on the kick coverage teams for two games, and almost a 3rd . . . and we've only played 7.

This 2.0

Depends, if it is something that just needs rest/time, certainly. However, it may be something that is just not going to get better, in that case, get 10-15 plays out of him a game, keeping the threat of him still in the opposing defense's mind--as long as it is not going to cause permanent damage (which certainly the brass and medical staff has considered--right?).

if he goes 5-0, it allows EJ time to fully heal . . . but when he is totally healthy, he's the starter

Oh, one thing Bill didn't mentioned: While no Pro Bowler, Thad Lewis is proving he has grit and the ability to lead this team in EJ's absence. He gets hit a lot, but jumps right back up and is determined to go. His play has been more than respectable. A nice find by the management. He deserves props for his gutty performance again today.

Bill, for whatever reason your dislike for Darius clouds your view of him. Was he dominant? No! Bad? No! The teams has bigger problems than his play. As for Marrone, I agree with you at one level, whether it's him or Hackett, the game situation awareness and management has been poor, very poor, at times. And I totally agree with you that this happened again at the end of the half. Even if you just run the clock out, or way down, and go in with a 10 point lead, while maybe conservative, it is on the road and 10 points is pretty good at the half. As for overall, you cannot deny that he has had the team prepared and ready to play every week. And all that with a rash of injuries at key positions, and not the least being QB. Overall, I would say better than Chan, but with some serious lessons to learn about game management.

fixed

regardless, still time to get rid of him . . . and I would bet Marrone is just covering for him

Great win, especially in Miami! Danny Crossman should be gone by the next time we play. With Hackett, it's the mental, game management side that is so frustrating. I blame the Fins score at the end of the 1st half on him. We get the ball with 1:47 to go, at the least, run the clock down so they don't have a chance to score, three bad plays, boom, they get ball and march down for a score. That was just bad clock management all the way around, whether it by the OC or Head Coach. And what is most problematic, it's not the first time it has happened this year. They all have to get better at this aspect of the game. Nonetheless, the team have been competitive every game .... and is certainly getting better.

me too, but a good recovery by a long time BIlls fan, rare poster . . . it's hard to disagree
