  1. I agree with everything here except perhaps the point about OJ not being a patient runner, the implication being that he wasn’t good at setting up his blocks and nothing could be further from the truth.
  2. I’d rather Baltimore got home field than KC. But Baltimore losing would mean their game against Miami will be important, so there’s thst.
  3. Yep. I’ve never seen a running back with the kind of elusiveness OJ possessed, let alone combined with his world class speed. At training camp up at Niagara U back in the day, he was time in a sub 4.3 with a stop watch. Crazy stuff at the time, but when you consider he was part of a world record holding 440 relay team in college, it’s really not that surprising.
  4. He was fine as a receiver, but simply wasn’t utilized as such very often. Most of the great running backs in that era weren’t really utilized as such. He had a decent YPR average when he was here though. Better than Thurman’s for what it’s worth. I find these comparisons absurd though. OJ was a legit threat to score from anywhere on the field on every play. If TT had OJ’s world class speed, he would have been, too. But he didn’t and that’s why we never thought TT was gonna break off 80 yard runs with regularity. Whereas we always had that feeling with OJ. You literally felt it in your gut on every run.
  5. All I saw was being nervous against the Chargers because it’s hard to win four straight. Thanks for the clarification.
  6. It would be three straight, but who’s counting. 😄
  7. Yes, if we both finish 11-6, we win the division due to the head to head tie beeaker.
  8. Hats off to Kromer. He had answers all day for the light box.
  9. You’d think people would know better.
  10. Worked to near perfection against the Phins when we beat them earlier this season. McD came up with a great scheme that day, one that Miami’s McD complimented him on after the game. I don’t understand why we haven’t seen more of it since.
  11. I really wish we had Daquan to pair him with. Damn.
  12. Add “drama queen” to the list of adjectives used in describing Hill.
  13. I believe they’re tied at three apiece as Mahomes won in Buffalo in 2020.
  14. The officials don’t “warn” the wideouts unless the receiver checks with the ref first. It’s quite common to see receivers who are split wide in the formation check with the line judge upon lining up at the LOS. There were a couple things working against Toney on that play: he was lined up in the slot inside an offset Kelce and he never checked with the line judge upon lining up. It is incumbent upon the player to check, not on the official to offer advice.
  15. Kansas City lost in the most Billsy of ways and who could have predicted that. Alive for another week.
  16. Let’s hope he doesn’t choose Osama Bin Ladin as the example of a martyr.
  17. Is that the same innovative mind that is 1-3 vs. the inferior McDermott and who was lucky to even get that one win?
  18. I don’t think the intention was to hit a man when he’s down, either. I was referring to a previous post that suggested that may have been the reason for Dunne’s timing in releasing the article.
  19. Hadn’t thought of the Christmas angle and that’s a fair point. But the team’s low point came after losing to Denver. If the intent was to hit a man when he was down, that was the better time.
