Ok boys, let’s matriculate the ball down the field! And kick their butts!

Faneca and Polamalu to me are the no brainers on this list.

Sad news.

Right now I’d take Watson. But that may change in the upcoming years.

Like most every game this year it will be close. It’s the time of year where defense and running game is needed. I like our D and our O line over their counterparts. Bills by a FG 23-20.0

In the regular season maybe. In the playoffs you have to have defense and a running game.

No I mean Foster. You’d have to sit him or Mckenzie for Williams. McKensie does more than Foster.

I’m ambivalent. I think he’d offer more than Foster on offense; Foster offers more on special teams.

You don’t know if he’ll be on the active roster Saturday. When you have too small a sample size you can’t prove something either way.

For the last game? Because they sat two of their starters.

I just said he won’t start. Reading is fundamental.

This. But I also don’t think he’s on the field Sunday. They’ll go with what got them to the dance. If I were Duke I’d figure out how to play special teams.

Put it in English that makes sense and I’ll give it a shot

Good news

You can throw all the backup QBs in the league in a big box, blindly pick one out, and probably get the same performance out of them. A notable exception being Bridgewater. I thought Barkley looked bad, said so in the game thread. If they can persuade say a Dalton to accept a backup role that could be an upgrade. But most backups are backups for a reason.

I have three jerseys: the home blue Tasker, the home blue Kelly, and the red Allen. I alternate them; this week it will be the Allen jersey. And a Bills T shirt underneath.

They have guys like Neal that can play both. And if you keep more CBs then you don’t have as many safeties (or other position) and if an injury happens there you could say the same thing the OP tries to say about CB. being critical just to be critical isn’t warranted.

Anything on Nsekhe?

Fair grade. Saw definite improvement but he still has a ways to go.

How anyone could think this guy has what it takes to be a HC is beyond me.

Well, here we are. Playoff time. And we'll see if McD's challenge to the team to be fearless holds true. Will we open things up on offense? Let Josh run more? More blitzing to throw Watson off his game? I hope McD lives up to his word. I hope we see more creative packages on offense, and let Allen run more to challenge their D. I hope we'll see them dial up more pressure on their offense. I generally like a conservative game plan, and God knows McD does, but will they play fearless on Saturday? Or not?

I think they can beat them. It will depend how well their running game does. If they can get Henry loose it will be ugly for the Pats.

Hope you're right. I think Tannehill could fold under the pressure.

If ever there was a perfect example of the pot calling the kettle black......

Conklin or Bulaga to take care of RT. Van Noy to take care of a DE position, also resign Lawson Sanders at WR.
