  1. I think the NFL will reschedule this game to tomorrow/Thursday night and push the respective teams upcoming games further into next week. From there it will likely be buffalo's decision whether they want to forfeit or play. The circumstances and optics are horrible but it's the least intrusive way to try and contain this and minimize impacting the rest of the league IMO.
  2. I was thinking about this as well with regard to "the bills haven't beat an elite team since kc" statements. TB had the game in hand and then imploded, and from what I've seen the turnovers had more to do with TB12's dead arm and inability to move his legs than some spectacular Defense. Are the Thanksgiving Day Lions a better team than anyone the Bengals have semi-recently beat (excluding kc)?
  3. Very optimistic and obviously doesn't factor in any time spent resting comfortably on a large pile of money.
  4. I shut it off when collinsworth implied that Brady needed to be "unleashed".
  5. Zach Moss Business Decisions: "Should we take him out and go for it on 4th down or just kick the field goal?"
  6. I agree. Even in the examples listed where running backs routinely do damage catching balls, Brady and Herbert still usually have Godwin and Keenan Allen in the slot running routes or blocking at the same time the rb is receiving. The CMC types who can line up in the slot and win routes consistently are a whole different breed imo.
  7. Timely reminder that Cole squished the fish last time we played in OP. Zero Td's but the play-by-play summary of the game shows he was the spark that generated points in the 2nd half to get the win.
  8. The possibility of Josh once again firing completions into tight windows over the middle worries me. We could be looking at a scenario where his arm becomes so arrogant that it begins autonomously jetsetting across the country looking for multi year deals.
  9. This is a great proactive move. If he's got nothing left he stays on the practice squad and we "lose" nothing. I think there was something about the timing routes and work over the middle for high completion attempts that got Josh in rythm and sparked the offense. If he's 75% of what he was in his last year this was still worth a shot imo
  10. I don't have the stats to back it up but this feels to be the biggest issue all year. McKenzie can't operate over the middle and catch passes in traffic against zone. His success against man is due to his speed, he pulls away to get open on crossers. We are missing a Beasley/Crowder type who get open in zone and bring in the ball when it's fired to them in the middle of the field. Hopefully Crowder can return.
  11. Definitely seems like a very popular topic of discussion on a discussion forum.
  12. OBJ is trying to get his best deal. If Poyer was right and he's back in Buffalo, it's to say "here's what Dallas offered, can you beat it?" He'll probably go back to Giantland, if he's even remotely interested in playing there and have the same talk. Jerry making chess moves to sow doubt to impact other teams offers and lower the amount he will likely end up paying. That's how I see it anyway.
