rewatch on the all 22 and you'll see everything you missed watching it live. He was a very real presence.

and that has happened already with Groot. All im saying is be patient, the "glory numbers" will come.

your crazy Groot has not been playing poor There have been pressures. There have been great run defense/setting the edge. Sometimes it is obvious some people don't understand what they are watching. Sacks will come, pressures have been there, its been 3 weeks. Relax. And yes I too want to see him with double digit sacks this season.

Gore will not be active unless theres a RB issue. Thats not how the roster construction/numbers work. I fully expect over 10 touches for Davis, even if the game is "close". Ty Johnson will also see an uptick in carries. I would bet heavily the plan is for Cook to get his carries in the first half as usual, except more davis and johnson sprinkled in, and then when the game gets secure it will be the Ray Davis show. Either way, this should be a good week to reduce Cook's load. But there is not a chance we have 4 RBs (5 with gilliam) active on game day. They already are getting REAL TIME reps...which is a great thing. Hairston will be interesting. I would imagine they slowly insert him into games to get him up to game speed.

3rd down defense was a legit problem. As someone pointed out above, Tua did some uncharacteristic things on a few of those 3rd downs where he got out of the pocket/scrambled and extended the play and that led a few first downs out of those 3rds. Yes our third down D needs to be better, and pass rush needs to get home. BUT my point does remain, Tua was held to under 150 yards and half of his 22 completions were at or behind the LOS. That will make the pass rush less effective.

Yea I saw McD on the sideline saying into the mic "hey Brady, call the 2 yard pass play please" repeatedly last night. So annoying.

no

hey guys I just want everyone to know....Tua completed 22 passes for under 150 yards. Do you think the reason we didnt get any pressure or sacks was because all of Tua's throws were at or behind the LOS? I think that contributed to that fact.

last offensive play of the game was a designed josh allen run...just sayin

Texans were a good team last year though. Top 5 defense.

There are only 17 games a season, not including playoffs.

thats not an egg. an egg is losing a game they shouldnt have lost against a bad team (at least by my definition).

what egg did this team lay last year?

They signed Shaq Thompson after all was said and done, FA and draft, mini camps. They did not really address the position with resources of a team thinking they would need a new LB starter next season.

No I am saying WEEK 10 is a tough week, therefore I am saving the Bills for week 10 use against the Dolphins. This week there are plenty of good options, including Seattle, who wont have use again this season and should clean up easy against the Saints. Sorry if I was not clear.

Jordan Hancock is on hand to be either Rapp or Johnsons eventual replacement

Any game winning anything should get the Shout, no doubt. CB? Really? Benford Hairston Strong Johnson Hancock Lewis I dont see them spending a high resource on CB next year.

Better week to use the Bills is the next time they play Miami, week 10. And that is largely because it is a TOUGH week elsewhere around the league.

That has always been a likely scenario after Milano's restructure. They do have Dorian in house and likely have a lot of faith in him. I would expect LB to be addressed via FA/Draft (although many thought they would do that this year and did not at all).

Agree for game winners, no doubt, but that should be an obvious moment to play it. Other than game ending FG's...shelve the shout song for 3's

I really wish they would reserve the Shout song for tuddies only. I show my objection by not participating in the shout song after 3's.

Or just McD slow playing info for gamesmanship. He is usually buttoned up. He was then asked if he was ruling out a long term injury for Milano, and he said "no". That was the fastest presser in history. Under 5 Minutes.

Per McD Presser: injury update the same exact as yesterday, still waiting to see if Milano can go Thursday (I can't imagine that, but who knows)

Seattle

All of them usually. However, last year I sold the last two games because they were meaningless and I used it to pay for my playoff tickets. This year, all of them except the Saints game, family wedding the night before and don't have child care for both THAT overnight and then the next morning/afternoon. Pains me to sell.
