  1. To the splash plays point, I'd be curious to see what % of plays he's a key part of a turnover (interception/fumble recovery/forced fumble).  Seems like that percentage would be pretty high and maybe calls for a bit more snaps at times?  Who knows but I think he's quietly gotten better.  : )

    I have to say after the last few months I have a newfound respect for Hollins and barefoot walking.

     

    I am getting ready to have a hip replacement done(thanks heavy weight lifting), and am extremely active walking 15-25K steps a day(partially from elliptical work) spending a few hours a day on my walking pad while working.

     

    I was having excruciating hip and glute issues while using the walking pad while wearing shoes...and I tried everything. I have Good Feet arch supports which were game changing for me when I was having foot issues, I bought new Aasic running shoes with super cushiony support, etc..

     

    Nothing helped.

     

    As a last resort, I started walking on the pad barefoot. Almost right away, it felt better. My hip and glute were still bothering me but it was less intense. Over the following days and weeks the pain and tightness went down every day until now I do it and have no pain or tightness at all.

     

    Unsure exactly why this works or the mechanism behind it, but it has made a huge difference in my daily life. Never would have considered this until Hollins talked about all the benefits from it and how he believes it saved his NFL career.

    We have a guy in my neighborhood that is always barefoot - And besides general walking, he does sprints in the middle of the street too.  Seems like a pleasant guy but I don't know him at all.  Curious whether his situation is similar to yours?

    I may be in the minority, but I think Miami has a run in them to finish the season. It would have to go perfectly for them to make the playoffs, as we pretty much have the division sewn up. But their offensive talent is undeniable when the backs and WRs are healthy and Tua is playing. Their offensive line has taken a step forward this year too. 

     

    The defense is pretty bad, but if they score 30 or 40 points, they could stack some wins. I think that in this past game, if we don't slow the game down by giving up the run and staying fast on Hill and Waddle, they maybe score 45 and take the game. 

     

    But as far as next year, they will now have the Tua contract to contend with and some decisions to make. 

    I can see what you're saying, but I just doubt Tua has a string of nearly perfect games in him this year.  And he's one hit away from maybe being in concussion protocol.

  4. I admittedly underestimated what a Tua-led offense could do last week - This week is a lot different - A QB who is a worse version of A Rodgers (lacks mobility but can make some throws and has tons of experience); a running attack that is likely a step down from last week's; a DL that is maybe a hair better, especially on the interior.  Just stop the run and get after Flacco.  We should be good - Maybe not a blowout but a comfortable win assuming we get some key guys back like Cooper and Benford.

    The Cook run from the 7 to the 2 was a demonstration of Cooks power and determination. Balance and strength when hit behind the line, might be the best run of his career. I think the Bills are using the RB room spot on. But that’s just me!

    But he dropped an easy catch - No way Davis (or Johnson) drops that catch.  They're a good 1-2-3 (?) punch but I think we've seen enough to conclude Cook does not have great hands.  He offers alot in other dimensions, though, thankfully.

    It's crazy to me that some people are saying Josh played a bad, or even "just" a good game .

     

    If it wasn't for Coleman popping up an INT that would have been a TD, and the lamest hold call on Torrence I've ever seen, Josh has 5 touchdowns with 0 INTs lol.

     

    He was amazing once again yesterday 

    And if Cook doesn't drop an easy catch . . . Josh had a very good game overall.

    The Bills aren’t beating KC, barring a significant injury for KC.  KC will take the one, Ravens 2, Bills 3 and probably Texans at 4, but they may take 3.   The Bills will get beat by KC, Detroit and San Fran at a minimum.

    I'd book Lions as a loss, but we'll win one or both of KC and 49ers playing at home . . . hopefully!

    Year of the wrist unfortunately.

     

    I was told it was broken 20 min ago and saw Coleman walking 5 ft in front of me holding/trainer bracing that wrist like it was.  He was. visibly upset like he knew it.

     

    Hopefully we can get him back in 4-6 weeks.

    Thanks for sharing the intel - Totally sucks for him and the team!!

  9. Being healthy, rest, and home field are all important but probably ranked in that order (healthy being the most important and also somewhat correlated to rest/resting players, of course).  That said, I wouldn't say home field is meaningless or irrelevant.  We generally have better results at home vs. away, and I get the sense noise impacts Josh perhaps a bit more than other QBs.   

  10. I understand the comparisons to Beasley, but I think Shakir is much, much better - Beasley was great with clutch catches, finding soft spots in the zone, moving the chains, tough as nails (especially for his size), but offered very little YAC IIRC.  Shakir shares some of those valuable traits, but he is so much more explosive/dangerous after he catches the ball.
