While this may not have needed another thread, it seems like a hot topic. Dane has good coverage skills. He needs to work on his ball skills and getting his head around at the right time. He is not a bust. He is way better #2 than Levi Wallace, but he’s not a #1-type corner. He still has room to grow, in my opinion. Against Detroit, Goff was throwing the ball really well. He surprised me, frankly. I didn’t think he had that in him. His receivers, much like the past couple games, played above their normal ceiling. They had some great catches and the routes and positioning were really good technically. Dane was not out of position much the past several weeks. He just needs to be better closing the deal.

And, Diggs was a hair short of breaking it for the score. He even spoke about that in his postgame presser.

It’s a nickname for Rousseau going back before he was a Bill. Kind of like “clown” for most of your posts. 😇

I totally agree with you on your point alone, but if the players begin getting complacent during the midseason lull, I believe fans will tune out until the playoffs.

With the way fans are reacting after these past two wins, I’d be more concerned that the game might just be cancelled. Unless of course, all the coaches are fired and players are cut between now and then.

The number of games doesn’t equate to anything except cash distribution, (see you at the next contract negotiation). Neither does the kind of turf, quite frankly. Now, with modern training techniques, new bodybuilding supplements, year-round weight training, etc., the professional athlete is exponentially faster, stronger, has more stamina and is much more in-tune with his/her body. This extra speed and strength equate to more types of injuries with more frequency. Since the players are way more concerned with their health and associated earnings potential, the lull during the season should be expected. Slow and steady wins the race. Speaking of races, it reminds me of when I was working during the 80s and 90s in NASCAR. The season got longer as more tracks were added and everybody’s event needed to be 500 laps. In short order, the races became snoozefests as the drivers raced for position in the first 20 laps or so, rode around for 470 laps and raced like their hair was on fire for the last 10 laps. Today, there’s an awful lot of empty seats at NASCAR events. Likewise, if players “coast” through the middle of the season, nursing slight ailments and simply positioning for the playoffs, there will be plenty of empty seats at the games and the broadcasts will end up on TSN, FSN or ESPN2 just like the NASCAR races.

I bet you’re a lot of fun when you’re torturing prisoners!

We’re you really there to see that? You must be older than me!

I bet you have a ton of excuses for what you’re so miserable. Why don’t you set a few aside for the 32 NFL teams.

James Cook’s highlights vs Lions:

I’m pretty sure that the Bills fan base is made up of 80% miserable human beings. Always finding the most negative aspects and railing on anybody who sees any positive. To those 80%, WGR is their bully pulpit. “Fire the coach’” is their rallying cry. Their misery is for some reason contagious and it has reached epidemic status on here. Sports is supposed to be fun. To them it is yet another platform to spew hate and negativity. It’s just sad and pathetic.

You, are a real piece of work.

I hope his prosthetic leg holds up okay under the mammoth pressure of the fan base.

But, but, I read here he should be cut, retire or didn’t want to play on turf or even play football anymore. Why is he active?

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

I haven’t missed anything. Especially their boneheaded decisions leading to failure.

They probably gave him the key to the city!

Lions, Goff and “attack” do not belong in the same sentence.

What a great name though!

Can you at least wash the skid marks out of them first?

I know… if you really stink and get cut by multiple teams, you might become a billionaire. What a great concept.

While they’re there, are they going to tour the birthplace of Ralph C Wilson?

They should wear the 1960 uniform to mess with the Lions.

Thanks for the kind remark.

Seriously, there are a lot of very dim-witted NFL players, you have to admit.
