A few words for Alex: Golf Fishing Grilling Coaching Beautiful wife and kids Retire

For whatever it's worth to some of you, I was listening to WGR earlier and Sal Capaccio spoke briefly about Duke not being on the game day roster. He basically said what the bold part of my reply says. We're fine in the red zone without him. Actually, we're pretty good. We just need to get there more often and we have been over the past 3 games. Why mess with a good thing? I'm trusting the coaches on this one. He also mentioned ST. Duke isn't fast enough to play ST, so doesn't see him taking a spot over a WR that plays ST. To end his discussion on Duke, Sal also mentioned the coaching staff see's Duke everyday in practice. They would use him if they felt he gave them something they don't have or need. I still feel his biggest issue is getting separation of the snap without the running start. I'm sure he's working on it. He has got good hands. It is a world of difference from last year where we can keep someone like him inactive, when last year he would be a starter on the Bills. That's how bad we were last year at WR.

You know you don't want us to give you $#'!, you want us to give you props. Go pat your own back. Oh, look , you already did. Feel better now?

Vindication for what? For posters who think they know better than the Bills staff on who should be playing?!

Oh, he's a rookie. Or an o-lineman to protect him. Let's stay on topic. Please.

Can we wait til next year, at least? Wow!

He still holds the ball like a loaf of bread. He got sooooo lucky that fumble somehow landed back in his hands near the goal line.

Oh Philip. I said the same thing last week. Probably the week before that too.

Delay of game. Should have never been a play.

A KC loss and they're 1/2 game behind the Raiders in the West. I would love that.

Which is even more of a reason to root for LA, no? KC at 6-5 is better for us than than at 7-4. Chargers would then be 5-6.

The fact that I can watch the games at an establishment and not have people looking at me, wondering WTH is wrong with me would lead me to say I'm not. I must be aging like a fine wine.

Why should Allen throw contested balls to a WR who can't get open when we have WRs who are getting open? Because Duke is big? We have big targets in our TE's. Everyone talks about needing him in the red zone. We have a pretty good % in the red zone without him. In terms of red zone scoring %(TD's) we're 3rd in the NFL. We just haven't gotten there enough. Duke wasn't helping us get there. We have been pretty good getting to the red zone in the last 3 games though, without him. In the last 3 games only 9 teams have more red zone attempts per game than Buffalo and when we get there we score. In the last 3 games only 7 teams are averaging more red zone td's per game. If he was getting open and helping us get to the red zone, he would be playing. As for the CFL and running starts by WR's, maybe you missed my point. I don't think Duke is good at getting separation off the snap because he's not getting a running start. He's still learning to get separation from the snap. That's not a bias. I think an NFL player would take exception to the notion that CFL players coming up work harder than they do. Maybe he gets there, maybe he doesn't. It's a different game. Wider fields, longer end zones and the running starts are things Duke might have used to his advantage in the CFL that he can't take advantage of here. He's not there yet. Like I said a few times, I would love for him to do well, but there's a reason he's not playing right now. To say he's not getting a fair shot isn't true. He's been called up and played a few games. He's practicing every week with the 53 man squad. Maybe, just maybe the coaches just don't see enough from him. Now is not the time to 'try him out'. Just my take.

I had it wrong too. Way better than I thought he would be, especially in his 2nd season. MVP talk in year 2?!? Wow!! Harbaugh has done an excellent job utilizing his skill set.

I'm hoping our game plan helps the young guy out. I also hope the fan base here doesn't blow up with the 'Bust' label if he has a bad game. Ford is a rookie potentially going up against a 9 year vet who has been to 7 pro bowls, a 3x first team all-pro, has over 100 career sacks, a Super Bowl MVP and potentially a HOF jacket.

Pretty sure you meant 'Gracias'. I know, I know, spellcheck. butt Yeu kan overrite spillshek. Eye meen ifn ur gunna b uh shmartash du et write.

A I like what I saw today.

He got a fair shot. He had 4 rec for 29 yds vs. Tenn. and a total of 2 more receptions after that. I wouldn't say he lit it up. I think we can debunk the idea of secrecy. The league is serious about the injury list, so I doubt that's the issue. I think the CFL bias against Duke is a ridiculous theory. We wouldn't have signed him or brought him up if that was the case. Come on, man. Since we're now making up theories here, I have one. Maybe Duke just can't get open consistently without the unfair running start wrs get in the CFL. Maybe, just maybe he's a healthy scratch cuz he's not good enough just yet. I said it before, if he comes up and excels, great. He hasn't. Big leap from CFL to the NFL.

I don't like him, but it was clean.

Since Jalen Ramsey's arrival, the Rams have given up 10, 10 and 17 points. Let's see how Mitch does tonight.

Well, Yolo cleared that up. Thanks Yolo!

It was a workout. I like that we sent someone out there to take a look. If he can help, sure. Kaep went to a superbowl. Politics don't bother me. I'm ex military and a former 1st responder and I'm not offended by Kaep, not one bit. The fact that you don't take my take seriously reinforces my statement that someone like you shouldn't be in a front office.

So glad our front office doesn't think like you.

Good on the Bills. Gotta look at all available talent.

Even Adam Schefter said he could help some teams out.
