    Can someone explain the logic of sitting players that fumble?

    I know that this is Belichick’s philosophy - you fumble the ball, you go to the bench.  
     

    I can understand this, if it’s a backup or a marginal player losing the ball.  But from everything that I’ve read, for most players, fumbles are random.  Some players are just prone to fumble the ball given their running style, but others fumble for random reasons.  Bad luck or great timing by the defense.  

     

    Often times it’s not concentration penalties like false starts/personal fouls or technique issues.   So as long as it’s not a technique or focus issue, if you sit a player as a punishment, how will stop him from fumbling again?
     

    I get that Singletary can’t fumble the football but he is far and away the best player on the team.  When Gore was in the game after the 2nd fumble, there was one run designed off tackle where there was a huge gap in the middle of the field.  I’m certain that Singletary cuts it back and pops a big run but Gore just hurts the corner and was taken down for a 1 yard gain.

     

    I guess I get the message that turning the call over is not ok - but sitting a player like Singletary just seems the old “cutting off your nose, to spite your face” mentality.  
     

    Can someone tell me what sitting Singletary accomplishes?

    Well, logically speaking, to avoid fumbles.

    If you put racism in " " you are intentionally minimizing it, unwilling to accept it as an actual structural problem in this "country." Yeah I put country in " " because I think that pride and bling loyalty to a geography is a joke made worse by the romanticism attached to it that doesn't show it for what it is, a county found by genocidal racists. But anyway, calling racism oveblown only doubles down on that and surely comes from the comfort of your white privilege. And you end it by saying there are a few racist nut jobs out there to imply, that due to what you think are a small number, that racism is overblown. And there are also waaay more than a few bad cops. Every PD in this region has bad apples. Let's see.... just this two weeks we've got a Lewiston cop taking pictures of a woman getting dressed and resigning (today) and a sheriff pimping his wife out in a movie theatre parking low. You also have a Tonawanda cop driving drunk and getting in an accident coming home from a police party last year, a cop beating the hell out of a Bills fan in the parking lot multiple cops shooting unarmed people in Buffalo, a few in the back in the last year.. and that's off the top of my head in 30 seconds and I rarely read the paper or listen to the radio. 

     

    This board is over run with some of the most unenlightened rubes around. 

     

     

     

    And yet you choose to stay and Grace is with your presence.  Why don't you go play in traffic

    He is one of the dumbest human beings on earth.  Like rock stupid.  He was an idiot in college, stupid browns still drafted him high, and he still screws up.  I don’t want this moron anywhere near this team. 

    We don't want you here, yet you are allowed to stay ?

    Bills should move CHRIS BROWN to Scouting Department

    I have really enjoyed his analysis after games and during practices. He always seem to ask sensible questions pertaining to the team, match up for the week and when evaluating individual players. That is why I can never forget his reaction when it was suggested that the Bills take QB Josh Allen in the draft. On the show with John Murphy, Brown who went to Allen's pro-day stated "the guy can throw the ball far to no- one. He is not accurate and the bills would be making a mistake to choose him just because he has a big arm". The fact that he is still employed by the Bills after the ALLEN selection implies that is work or his opinions are respected. In-fact to this point he has been proven correct. There is no magic fix to touch and accuracy . Especially on the deep ball. Tyrod had a beautiful deep ball. Kudos to  Chris Brown hopefully his talent is better utilized  in the organization.

     

     

    This really isn't a skill.  It is simply opening up your eyes.  Everyone knows he is extremely inaccurate.  It's basically common sense

    Our Offensive Strategy May Not Be to Win

    My apologies if this is in another thread somewhere, but it occurred to me that Daboll may have a mandate to develop Josh Allen as a QB at virtually all costs, even if it means possibly risking wins this season. The reasoning would be that we are very unlikely to win without more talent and experience anyhow, and we will need a top flight QB to win in future years. We are better off developing an elite QB, instead of squeaking out every victory we can, only to never with the big prize because we lack the QB we need.

     

    This would explain why we opened the season with 18 straight passes, as if Daboll was intentionally trying to get Allen into a rhythm regardless of what might be more likely to succeed. It explains why the Bills are so reluctant to become a running team, even though it seems like running the ball more might lead to more wins. It even explains why Allen has played more conservatively of late--because not playing hero-ball and becoming more turnover free is essential to a top flight QB. I expect that now that he has (arguably) gone too far towards playing conservatively, they will try to nudge him back towards playing more aggressively. 

     

    In short, I am suggesting that Beane, McDermott and Daboll are all on the same page here--a long game strategy of developing an elite NFL QB . The wins and losses this season are secondary.

     

    Part of me has doubts about this perspective, because so many careers depend upon winning and losing right now--both players and coaches. It is hard for me to believe that they are not doing whatever they can to win right now. But when I see what they are doing with Allen and the running game etc., I can't help but think I am right.

    Absolutely not what is happening
