Yep, you're right.

Take a deep breath and think. Milano has been in the league how long? Now how long has Williams been in the league? Thay's right, Williams is a rookie and he's learning. I'll bet you were among those saying we had no replacement for Edmunds and that Bernard stunk based on his rookie year as well. Am I right?

They have Milano’s replacement with Williams, just as they had Edmunds replacement in Bernard. I think Jones is signed for next year?

Get off my lawn!

Chris Russo had an interesting comment relating to this and the Bills. His take basically was that the league would be crazy not to want the Bills and Josh in the playoffs so they could showcase on of their superstars. So you’d think if it was fixed it would be to the bills benefit.

Beane has done a good job overall. I would have liked more attention to the lines because to me you build from inside out, but overall good job. He got the franchise QB, the most critical thing.

Only way I see it is if they collapse and lose out, or if the team leaders go to Brandon or Terry and say he’s lost the locker room.

HC: Jack Kemp OC: Joe Ferguson DC: London Fletcher ST coordinator: Steve Tasker. Duh. O Line: Kent Hull WR: Bobby Chandler TE: Ernie Warlick QB: Frank Reich RB: Fred Jackson D Line: Ron McDole LB: Jim Hazlett Safety: George Saimes CB: Robert James

The Harvard Sports Initiative published a study showing that having one less turnover in a game gives you an almost 70% greater chance of winning a game, and if 2-3 it goes up to 80-90%. Ergo, it would help them team to throw less picks. Math can be simple.

You will never be able to add enough technology to make calls foolproof and have games that last 3 hours. No matter what is done there will always be a measure of human interpretation and error. So for me? Get rid of replay, accept that human error is part of the game, only call egregious penalties, and move on.

And what did I say? That’s he’s a great QB. You did read that, right? But he also should throw less picks. He leads the league. He can improve on that. Are you saying that’s wrong? If you are, then honestly you either have to be a relative or a girl friend.

Tell TBD the truth. You don’t really live in Cinci; you’re either Josh’s girl friend or mother. No one else would go to such insane depths to defend the guy. He’s a great QB. He needs to stop throwing so many picks. Those are not mutually exclusive. Move on.

The NFL = Not For Long. We’ve had some guys who’ve broken that rule to a degree, and their time will come to an end this off-season. Poyer, Morse, Neal, maybe Tre, the sad news about Miller (sad in terms of the woman that was attacked) may take care of that on its own. Davis probably won’t be resigned. Epenesa may not either unless they decide to keep him vs. Floyd. And younger guys will have to take their place and step up. That’s the NFL. And we see evidence of that with the Bills. Jackson and Benford at CB. Can Lewis is stepping up. The Online is playing better for those of who who’ve bashed Brown. Shakir is stepping up. Rapp at S. And so on. Beane will have to draft well, free agency will have to be used carefully. But that’s what he gets paid for.

All you’re doing is projecting.

Do you feel better now?

Both McD and Beane report directly to Terry. This has been know for a while I believe.

Those attacking McD personally can put it where the sun don’t shine. Devoted family man of faith from all accounts. But I would argue he made two really bad decisions yesterday, one of which he has made too many times: 1. Calling a TO to ice the kicker. That does nothing to a pro kicker 2. Taking the ball out of the hands of a great QB with 20 seconds left.

That’s the point. If he thinks he can still play

I admit nothing of the kind I would have to go back through all the games to see if your premise is accurate

And Epenesa is playing well now. So not a lose. Anyway you asked for one other than Josh and Oliver more than fills the bill there.

And thus without tearing his ACL gives us a couple years to win with him. If he continues to struggle shut him down and offer an injury settlement.

Allen had a great game. And without Davis in regulation we have no chance to win. But if we are going to criticize Davis for one play we can also criticize Josh for that pick.

I am pretty sure they were not going to use that contract without restructuring it. I’d have to look at it to see when it would make sense to cut ties from a cap perspective.

Couple misses like Ford to be sure. But look at a guy like Epenesa. Took a bit but has come into his own. Or Oliver who is having a great year.

So now the only measuring stick for a GM is All Pros? And you ignore he was playing great at 33
