The best thing Myles Garrett could have done was to not appeal the suspension, publish a written apology to Rudolph in the Pittsburgh newspaper, promise he would never do it again, and then shut his damn mouth. If the NFLPA "insisted" that he appeal he should have still done the same things. Shame on Garrett and his "team of advisors" for thinking they could win an appeal by citing a dissimilar prior incident and making unsubstantiated claims of racism. Screw him and screw Browns fans who defend him.

Found it!

This could wind up being another "homework" thread...

That was early November.

I see where you're coming from, Stank, but truthfully, I don't think you can lose a home game in late November to a team playing .300 football and call yourselves playoff-worthy.

Yep, it's too bad the Bills had a s-h-i-t-s-h-o-w at QB and another change at HC the year he became a FA. He would've been a great "process" guy.

Good highlights, he was an amazing back...but why is Dan Marino playing defense and chasing him at the 0:57 mark?

Yeah, I have no idea. There must be some reason why he hasn't gotten any of the jobs he has interviewed for, but the success of Baltimore's offense will probably earn him a shot.

Good read, thanks for sharing.

Perhaps, but I think it's mostly so Daboll gets a birds-eye view and can relay what he's seeing to Josh between series and during timeouts.

That stuff only matters to fans and (some) media. The game is important because (a) it's a conference game; (b) it's a home game; and (c) it's against an inferior opponent. If the Bills want to be considered a PLAYOFF team they win this game, period. You don't lose at home in late November to a team playing .300 football. It's really that simple.

Technically, yes, but I'm referring to the wild internet speculation last week that Daboll's move to the skybox was an indication he's reading the defense for Josh in his helmet before the snap. The Bills' use of a hurry-up attack and comments like these from Josh tell me that's not happening.

Roman has been interviewing for HC jobs for at least five years. He's a really smart guy and he will probably get his chance soon.

At the very least, the two teams (Buffalo and Dallas) are on equal footing. While obviously I have to root for a Dallas win Sunday it would be nice for the Pats*** D to beat them up a little bit.

...here's a snippet from a conversation Josh and Jim Kelly had with Vic Carucci and Adam Begnini that is supposedly airing soon: One of the biggest lessons Kelly said Allen has needed to learn is to take charge on the field, especially when it comes to communicating with offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. Unlike Kelly, who called his own plays when the Bills made the no-huddle attack their offensive foundation, Allen, as with most NFL QBs, has plays dispatched to him via a headset in his helmet. "(You tell Daboll), 'These are plays I like, these are plays I don't like, and if it ever comes a point in the game where the play's coming in late, call your own play!' " Kelly said. "Daboll gives me the freedom to do that," Allen said. "There were a couple times this Sunday I did it and it worked to our advantage." "Wow! You're listening now," Kelly chimed in. "All right!" "Third down, one of our first third downs, they were trying to sub out, and I called a play, and we got 'em for 12 men on the field and got a first down," Allen said. "There were a couple other ones." "He's listening to Uncle Jim," Kelly said with a laugh.

It appears to be traditional blue on white to my eyes...

Yep, their defense is legitimate, but I don't think that's a reason to "expect" a bad outing from Josh. He's been taking good care of the football lately and if the Bills run up-tempo that's something that has given Denver fits. I think it's a fair statement to say both defenses are probably good enough to keep the scoring down, so it will come down to who makes the most of what we expect will be limited opportunities. I don't "expect" Josh to melt under these circumstances -- I have much more confidence in him than I presume Denver fans have in his counterpart.

I didn't hear anyone rule out spleen.

They absolutely signed him to be the #1, but drafted Knox and Sweeney anyway, and then Kroft got hurt and Knox got an opportunity he has taken hold of. It's not that Kroft is bad, it's that he's just now getting back into it. I'm very happy with a Knox/Kroft combo in 12 personnel if Kroft is fully recovered.

So angry! Dude, it's football. Relax. Your boy Lamar will get his chance to show this offense isn't a flash in the pan.

I'm sorry I had to call you out for not knowing the definition of the word novelty. You're wrong, the offense that Baltimore has designed around Lamar is most certainly novel. I haven't diminished Lamar's accomplishments one bit, I simply said we need to see how well this offense ages.

The only takeaway from this is how embarrassing it is to see and hear Browns fans trying to justify Garrett's actions.

nov - el - ty (noun) -- the quality of being new, original, or unusual. Exactly how is it a "joke" to describe Lamar and the Ravens' 2019 offense in this manner?

and stay healthy. If both of those goals are met I'm a happy camper, whether the victory is by one or 21.
