I wonder if Dennison says 'he kept us in the game.'
I hope he does. I think that is go-to phrase for 3 points of offense.
-
Yeah, he's something special.
-
Watching him last Thursday, I had a feeling he'd be out this Sunday.
Ankle injuries are common when you wear roller skates and try to block.
-
Whining about whining is still whining.
-
He needs to lose 20 lbs.
Would take a lot of stress off those wheels and he would still be ginormous + a little quicker.
-
It's not encouraging to see 340 lb Cordy Glenn, put on skates by a 240 lb linebacker.
The entire team played soft and that was only one ugly example.
Need a couple of fulll pads practices, but the CBA probably won't allow it.
-
Yeah, the 'bust' labels being slapped on him were asinine.
He'll be a good player for us, for sure.
-
The play he was injured, Zay was deliberately tripped.
I think that DB saved a TD.
That could have gotten us going, but we'll never know.
-
More pressure wouldn't hurt.
Also, tackling sucked today. Really bad, like H.S..
-
The process needs a colonic.
-
Coming into the year, DBs were thought to be a weakness but are the biggest strength.
Leading the league in Passes Defensed, 2nd in Ints. 4th in Team passer rating against (74.5) vs last year (85.9)
Smart, hustling & in position.
They manage to do all of this without dumazz personal fouls and assorted tantrums/histrionics.
-
Maybe Cousins.
-
Yeah.
Let's dump all of these productive guys so we can get another can't miss 3rd, like Goodwin, Graham, Sheppard, Carrington, Ellis or even, another weekly inactive player like Miller.
-
Working overtime at the Factory.
-
If he isn't ready, let him rest, get settled and be inactive for the week.
Presumably, the guy that IS active on gameday is ready to contribute and rarin to go.
-
Sounds like a great way to crush team chemistry.

Here's Walterfootball on the trade. http://walterfootball.com/nfltrades.php

Grade for Bills - A+
Grade for Panthers - MILLEN
:-)
That's a tough grade. Way below failing.

Last year through 7 games, we were at +10 and our record was 4-3.
We went (-4) in the last 9 games and it had a lot to do with our 3-6 finishing run.
The fumbles are hard to guess, but the DBs and LBs seem to be in much better position this year and I think the Ints will keep coming.

You posted the stats not me, it's 100% the worst and wrong way to evaluate a DT. Not sure how Mario got brought into the topic? A DE and DT is like comparing a O-line man to a TE.
You need to understand the term Anchor for a DT. if your bored go google HOF DT and look up your all important tackle stat. You will see they might average 40-50 tackles a year. Basing tackles to a DT as an important stat is flat out wrong.
8 x 16/6 = 21, not 40 or 50, which makes him a half-assed tackle.
Dareus had 22 tackles after 6 games in 2014 and 8 after the 1st 6 this year and the reason is clear;
he has become fat, lazy, doesn't hustle and is rarely in the play. 22 in 2014 vs 8 now.
Sure. Tackles don't count for a DT. Yup, ok.
One bag of sand would have tripped up 4 RBs. Dareus is two bags, thus 8 tackles.

All of the above have 16 or more and a couple of them have > 30.
Yeah, tackles matter. Beating your man and making plays matter and making more plays is what got him a big contract.
Making fewer plays (along with a 1/2 assed attitude) is what got his butt pushed out of here.
Right now he is 67th amongst DTs.
If he was top 10, you bet your ass he'd still be here, because tackles are a clear indicator that you play hard every play and all the way to the whistle.
-
When I see people posting tackles as the end all for DT's stats they have zero idea what a DT is.
When I see people posting 'tackles schmackles' posts, I suspect their understanding of what causes an offensive play to end.
I'm a bit too gentile to use the qualifier 'zero', but it's possible you may catch on.
I saw the same 'argument' about Mario Williams in his last year and many other conclusive has-beens.
You don't make tackles, you won't be in this league for much longer.
You can get an appropriately priced sand bag at Home Depot and it doesn't even wear a Captain's hat or get suspended.

You can do a lot with $54 million. (http://www.espn.com/blog/buffalo-bills/post/_/id/29701/bills-save-54-million-in-cap-space-in-dumping-marcell-dareus-contract)
A helluva lot more than Dareus was doing.... 8 tackles.
Thornton has 9.
-
Two turds in a bun.
-
He has 8 tackles this year.
Cedric Thornton has 9.

If Dareus was there, he'd have racked up 50 tackles and we win 50 - 0.
