    I was thinking about that, sort of, during the game last night.

     

    I think there is something to that; it was a weird game where it felt like the big blowout was coming.  Then it didn't really materialize, and then that weird garbage time lasted forever and the game started to change, while in it.

     

    Weird game; easier for the players to focus 100% and put the pedal down in a close, hard fought game.

     

    It's like being up 2-0 or 3-0 in a hockey game; sometimes that's the worst---for the team in the lead.

     

     

     

    I can understand them being bored.  I was too.  I found myself playing phone games in the second half when I seen Green Bay were just gonna kill the clock.

    The 13 pts seems out of whack.  A bit rich for a road fav.  BUT, having come off a lackluster 2nd half, I think McDermott does a good job of refocusing the team and they win pretty big.  Probably cover.  

    The worst thing for the Jets is having Allen come off the field and calling the win over the Packers "gross".  So now they are going to be dialed in for the Jets.

     

    The Jets literally cannot score.  Wilson threw his first TD pass in 4 games in this loss.  That's an entire month of no touchdown passes.

    Then you will need to prepare yourself for the reality that what you expect will not happen.

     

    I know that won't happen, but you can still expect them to.  You can't realistically believe they're going to play perfect and fire on all cylinders for 20 games.  However, we all know their capabilities and we can expect them to win every game they play, and rather convincingly.  Expectations is different than reality

    Just took a gander at the Chiefs forum.

     

    They're convinced that the Packers defense  found out how to stop Allen & Co and they’re going to copy it in the playoffs :)

     

    Because Kansas City is a rushing juggernaut that we need to watch out for.  Nothing says we're scared like CEH just pounding us.

  5. I'm kind of in agreement with a lot of the people posting in here.  It seems to me like the upper seats will be the ones protected, while the 100 level seats will be exposed to the rain/snow/etc.  Which to me is kind of weird, considering the 100 level is going to be more expensive.  The plaza looks phenomenal though.

    As long as we're fielding theories...

    I believe the excellent Bills medical team knows that ACL injury recurrence is much greater if an athlete rushes back to the field. As such, and knowing that White is an important, long term foundational piece of the team, they're doing everything they can to make sure he's healthy in the long term.

    https://www.uchealth.org/today/acl-tears-how-long-does-it-take-to-recover-and-return-to-sports/#:~:text=“That process can take nine,least eight to nine months.

     

    “It takes a while for the graft to become part of the body and go through a process of we call ligamentization, which is becoming a new ligament,” McCarty said. “That process can take nine or 10 months.”


    Although some exceptional athletes can return to sports in six months, a more realistic scenario after an ACL tear is a recovery time of at least eight to nine months.


    “Even then, after you’ve done great therapy and have come back to sports, it can sometimes take another year before you feel normal again,” McCarty said.


    His patients often tell him that it isn’t until the second season after ACL surgery that they feel like they have fully returned to their previous level of play.


    Since everyone heals differently, there’s no set time for athletes to return to sports. Tests can determine whether or not a reconstructed knee is as functional as the other knee and up to the rigors of a particular sport. Doctors and physical therapists usually have the final say on whether or not an athlete is ready to compete safely.


    Research shows that up to one-third of athletes sustain another ACL tear in the same or opposite knee within two years, suggesting that an ACL tear recovery time of 10 months or longer may be associated with a lower risk of re-injury.

     

     

     

    Sounds reasonable.  However, he was injured Thanksgiving last year.  It's been 11 months.  He's been longer than what this suggests.

    How did Tennessee announce their deal and renderings in about two weeks, while the Bills can’t do it for seemingly 2 years? 

    Magic pixie dust must have ran out.  With out getting another warning, that's going to be my answer.

  8. I'll be getting rid of DTV as well.  I'm paying $280 a month for the service because I'm not on a contract.  I don't use it hardly at all.  I'll probably just get a cheap cable package bundled with my internet, and that will be the end of it.  I'll buy whatever streaming service that picks up Sunday Ticket.

    And if you run Singletary into the ground you are still screwed, because he’s the only competent RB on the roster.

    It’s like you didn’t read my post at all.

     I don't really care if they run Singletary to the ground.  This is his last year on his rookie deal.  After that, he's not going to be worth it for us to keep.  Run one of the most under-utilized backs "to the ground" and give Cook some touches so we can "run him into the ground" for 4 years at the Rookie deal.  Rinse and repeat.

    Yes. Agree. Tre tore ACL in November and is not back yet…OBJ did it 2 and half months later.

     

    Godwin tore his ACL late December and has played all year so far (despite the few games he was out with a hamstring).  All injuries and recoveries are not mutually exclusive.  Tre is taking his time because he knows he has the luxury to.  I firmly believe if we were hurting at CB, he would be here by now.

  11. I'm going with OBJ.  With the "Who you'd rather have" you also have to look at implications.  Right now, they can pay CMC because it's like $1M pro rated on the cap this year, but it then balloons to $19.550M and carries a dead cap of $18.352M.  So you're going to have to cut/trade him, and it's going to press us even more on the cap.  This means no Tremaine Edmunds and no Jordan Poyer (maybe we'll squeeze one by kicking the can down the road, but someone's going).  This also doesn't include the capital we have to give up.  When a team is this good and has this many players that cost a ton, you have to have draft picks and cost controlled rosters to keep the shelves stocked.  

     

    By signing OBJ, you don't give up any capital, and you're only relying on cap purposes.  If he wants to play here, sign him to a deal that doesn't include us having to cut/restructure.  Then, after the year, you can choose to let him go.  Production wise, I'm going with OBJ.  I can live with Singletary/Cook in the backfield.  We seen with Davis hurt, it affects the passing game a lot.  Add another explosive weapon and teams won't know how to handle the Bills passing game even more than it already is.  Who are you going to double team?  It would be a choose your poison.  

  12. I'm assuming Kelce's big game is why Milano was graded so low.  That shouldn't be on him.  But man, that open field tackle he made was elite.  If he doesn't make that tackle, that's 6 points for KC.

    What if I told you....Khalil Shakir and James Cook have a much higher drop % (18% and 14%), and that McKenzie has the same drop % as Gabe Davis on exactly the same number of targets (McKenzie has a higher catch % though)? 

     

    I get it, I get it.  11 of the Twelve Angry Men have spoken.

    McKenzie is a veteran.  Shakir and Cook are rookies learning to play in the league.  McKenzie is on this team because he's supposed to be reliable.  Him making drive killing mistakes isn't someone you'd think you can rely on.  I expect Cook and Shakir to make those mistakes, not someone that's been here for 5 years.
