I was a bit nervous coming into this game about Levitre having to match up against Orakpo but the dude did well. It doesn't seem to matter where you put him the guy just mauls people.
On a couple of running plays he just dump trucked Orakpo and Freddie had huge runs! Way to go Andy!
Levitre isn't Bell or Hairston as a pass-protecting LT. But having Levitre at LT makes the run game much nastier.

I thought this thread would be about brady having injured his achilles....talk about misleading.

So, what's the scoop? Is it 710?

The hockey panic is really alarming.
I am a Pens fan. I remember during their cup season in 2009 they were completely out of the playoff race, fired their head coach mid-season, hired Bylsma, rattled off a ton of wins, and ended up winning the cup.

Merriman required required a lot of attention from the opposing team's offense. It's not fair to say he did nothing. There were also several holds which he drew that were not called. We would be better off if he was still playing, even if only in a backup/rotational capacity
I remember him being held, and I know the run defense was better when he was in the game. But I don't remember significant attention paid to him; most times it looked like he had one-on-one match-ups.

In front of a stellar crowd of 20,000 ambivalent Canadiens, the Bills win 27-17.

Yes the whistle should have blown.
But if you look at the replays, it appears that Nelson takes his one hand off the ball and is waving it in protest as if he thinks the play should be blown dead or a flag thrown or something. It's one thing to have your hand ripped off the ball and quite another for it to be above your shoulder when the ball is near your waist.
IMO, he should have (like Leodis' ill-fated kick return against the Patsies*) devoted every fibre of his being to protecting the ball… and I don't believe that Nelson did this.
If you're describing it accurately (no reason to doubt you; I just don't remember), then I agree that he screwed up. Just go down, for crying out loud.
-
I'm still annoyed at Nelson for his inability to protect the ball against the Ravens last year.
I blame the refs. How do you not blow the whistle? He was stood up for 5 seconds.
-
He had ACL surgery in April.
I dont think even T.O, who is known for having remarkable recovery skills, is going to convince any NFL he is ready to play this season.
He should sit out one year and get an invite to training camp next year.
I am sure he can stil play. Put him on a team like the Ravens next year, or Steelers, he could be productive.
Agreed. He's got plenty left; I don't see why he wanted to rush back. I'd put money on the fact that he'll be back in the league next year.

this has been the thing with nix. So far, the only thing he seems to have done right, is the Gailey hiring, which so far looks ok, but there is still a lot to prove on that one.
Hiring the right coach is half the battle. No Bills GM has hired a decent one since Wade was canned.
But I agree that Nix's personnel moves haven't been stellar yet.
-
Are we the only team that comes out of the bye week with more injuries?
-
I bet this was a roster-based move. That is, my guess is that he could have come back within the next few weeks, but the Bills would rather sign someone else than take a banged up, non-producing Merriman.

Pat Moran is the Walter Cronkite of sports bloggers
Agreed. He probably confirmed the story with his 5 independent sources, asked his friends in the main stream media if he should print it, and then carefully released the story. His daughter would be proud.

All the local sports guys in Buffalo are posting it on Twitter (Jeremy White, Jeff Russo, Pat Moran.
Also say it from @MiamiDolphins, not sure if this is the official Dolphins Twitter acct
If Pat Moran is reporting it, then it must be true.

If this link is correct, the last time it was successfully used in the NFL was against... the Buffalo Bills.
I remember seeing the Niners try one. Must have been the one in 1989 referred to on the list.
A kick like this is very improbable; it's rare that you would successfully fair catch a ball at a point on the field where you make a successful FG.
-
that's a seriously terrible list. Jake Plummer, Dilfer, Bulger, Kordell Stewart, Charlie Batch, Derek Anderson among others are far from some of the worst Qb's in NFL history. Those guys had real NFL careers. Our representative though, GayPee Loserman, does belong on that list.
agreed. this list belongs on the top-50 worst lists of all-time.

Just checked the score of this game.
I said it pre-season and this just confirms it--the Colts with Manning are a 13-win team, and without him they're a 2-win team. He's their best player and best coach.
-
Why would you count Indy out?? If they are picking number one, of course they are taking Luck. Why on earth wouldn't they. If they are #2 they will trade up. It's not even sure if MAnning will play agian. Even if he does, he won't last long.
I am assuming the Rams end up with the #1 pick (based on OP's post).
But if Colts have the #2 pick, it changes the dynamic totally. Under that scenario, I can't see them giving up the farm AND giving up on Manning.
-
Unless he lines up over center, pushes him into the QB's lap, throws a guard out of the way, hurdles a running back and sacks the QB all in under 2 seconds, many on this board won't consider it a "quality" sack.
Your hypothetical is incomplete; for example, how was the coverage downfield?
-
If Miami ends up with the number 1 pick in the draft, Cowher will be the HC of the Dolphins. Nothing like going to a franchise in a position to pick the best collegiate QB prospect since Peyton Manning. Most coaches want a QB in place and I heard that's why many turned down the Bills. No QB, no sustainable success. I'm sure Shanahan regrets his decision to go to the Redskins.
Cowher was always an anti-franchise QB guy. He always liked the mediocre QB vets he had in Pittsburgh, and was against the Steelers drafting anyone high at QB. I think his MO was good defense, good running game, and a decent vet at QB.
In fact, he was overruled in the draft room when they took Roethlesberger (he wanted Shawn Andrews!!).
Just mentioning that because the prospect of getting Andrew Luck might not be as appealing to him as it would to most.

Bills v. Skins in Toronto at 4 pm could be the most forgettable game of our lifetime.
I just want to get out with a W. By the next week, we'll have no memory of the game, let alone which Redskin starters were out...
-
The team with the top pick would never trade Luck to San Fran. At best, they'd get a late first round pick this year and two mid-to-late first rounders over the next two. That trade won't happen.
All things being equal, you're right. But if Luck were to play hardball a la Eli Manning, he could make that trade happen. I also think Harbaugh would pretty much trade away two drafts for the guy.
-
Here is the issue. We are upset because Maybn has 3 sacks in 3 games and our team could use a pass rush. Maybin would not help at all on this team. One sack in the 1st quarter would do nothing. He is barely in the game. He can't play the run so he is used sparingly, I watched the game. We need consistent, I repeat CONSISTENT, pressure on the QB. Just because he got past the RB one play and they had one extra guy on the field where he wasn't blocked another, does not mae him good. I don't wish him the worst, but he wouldn't help.
I hear you.
Basically, if we ran the same scheme as the Jets, any of our LB's would be in a position to make those same plays, as well. It's easy to get a sack when you're the guy who gets to rush the QB without a blocker to slow you down.

With the new CBA the #1 pick will be out there waiting for the best offer. What teams will make a hard charge for it, and what will it take to move up to #1?
Obvious contenders:
miami
Minnesota
Colts
KC
Seahawks
If the Rams are at #1, I think you count teams like Indy, Minn, and KC out, all of which have pretty good QB situations.
I think you'll see some middle-of-the-pack teams make strong plays--e.g., Browns, Skins.
But I'd say the top-three favorites to get Luck, in order of likelihood are:
1) San Fran (Luck could even engineer this)
2) Miami
3) Seattle
Why the strong defense this week?

You have the luxury of blitzing and rushing a bunch of guys when you're playing John Beck.
