I don't blame Roman. Someone has to pass protect. Not his fault we don't have an RB good at it.

The risk inherent with cutting Fred is weaker pass protection. That is the whole point. With Karlos and Fred both active, Fred is out there in a designed pass pro situation. IMO.

It was a calculated risk, as you said. It was a risk having Karlos out there in pass pro, as you said. And it was a risk that potentially could have changed the game. And nearly did. If Karlos picks up his block, there's little chance that they get a pick six there.

Luck is a top 5 QB. You know that. Good defense or not, I don't want a top 5 QB within one score with almost a half to go. That's why getting a bigger lead early, which the Bills did, makes the game way easier. A one score game means less "pinning your ears back." It means less giving them 5 yards a play and making them take a quarter to score. Basically, it means less of everything that contributed to the Bills win. Game is in doubt doesn't mean the Colts necessarily win btw. Of course, the possibility we keep our foot on the gas would remain. But I think a 15/16-24 game is a completely different animal than 8-24. Especially with Luck on the other side of the ball.

AP's gonna rush for 240 tonight. Hold on to your butts.

16-24 with 16 unanswered and you don't think the game would be in doubt. Well, we'll have to agree to disagree on that. I like Karlos. I think he's pretty good and he's shown that. I just don't know if you want a liability on pass pro on a make or break season. Just my 2 cents that probably add up to $100 at this point.

The game would have been in doubt if that tipped pass was picked for 6. You know, the play where Karlos was absolutely brutal in pass pro.

I actually agreed with the approach in both cases. K-9 makes some good points about confidence and stepping on the throat, but I think getting out of there showing as little of the playbook as possible has its own merits. Makes for a little more boring game, but we don't have a Brady where running up the score doesn't have negatives.

Agreed. Reminded me of the Jets games last year.

Break out the deer antler spray.

Best ability is availability.

Greg, you better hope you get priority on Mariota.

LBL's hitting you hard early.

I never argued he was at the top. Like I said.

Except the argument that they cherry picked half of the HC's career.

What an arbitrary cutoff.

What part of "I filled in the gaps" do you not understand?

I didn't ignore them. You posted them upthread. I filled in the gaps, two of which were terrible years.

Talk about cherry picking. 9th in 2009 6th in 2010 21st in 2011

Compare his rookie year to Peyton Manning! Brett Favre's first pass was a pick six too!

The punter rule is real. But their punter sold it very well.

We have too many good players. Get used to one star on this team having a nonexistent week.

They signed Cameron to a two year deal. Not really a risk.

How can we really say getting Karlos changed Whaley's mind when he was gonna cut him when we just had Boobie and Brown?

I'm not defaming Whaley in the slightest. Per usual, you missed the point and attacked me. And I wasted that great 7,777 post count on this.
