  1. On Defense I opt for Bobby Babich, young energetic, great motivator, articulate.
  2. Agreed. Why is the Buffalo day glow yellow on the one red T Shirt, wth? And I might add, quite the bargain at $26 marked down from $43.
  3. Look up the data or keep spewing the same mantra. Yes you want to limit QB hits, dah, but sneaks are are not full speed nfl collisions, they are very slow and are very safe, much safer than normal qb play, as I wrote injury's percentage is counter-intuitive, believe it or not, but if it make you feel better to try to denigrate me as you cant "dumb this down any more for:" me, that is your problem..
  4. Providing one off examples dont prove your point. I could also use Tom Brady and an example, one of the most prolific runner of QB sneaks that not once was ever hurt. Good example but doesnt prove my point nor do your examples prove the contra. And try Lance was hurt on a power run, not a QB sneak.
  5. Look it up, and is easily verifiable as I just did, it is, as I wrote a very safe play. Do you know how to look it up? I wont sit here and protract this discussion.
  6. The number of QB sneaks and injuries is counter-intuitive. It is actually a very safe play for a QB.
  7. The elephant in the room is although Josh Allen is huge and should easily be able to do the tush push, his ball integrity with QB sneaks (vs Minnesota last year) or taking picking the wrong hole as he did vs Jax a few years ago, is highly suspect. Josh Allen can be a rock star with a QB sneak as he was in Dallas on Thanksgiving or potential disaster. I just don't trust him in QB sneak situations.
  8. That is quite the "promotion" for an 11 year old. Waiting for someone to lecture me about "they have to grow up sometime" or "get off my lawn" memes.
  9. Somewhat obvious with the success of the tush push.
  10. Great find on the data but unfortunately, is is 5 year old data so doesn't address the current state of affairs' you were discussing. Regardless, it is also largely what is reported by each team. Teams are much more likely to report an injury for a) liability issues (note your data was supplied by a medical malpractice law firm) and B) how much is driven by stashing players (is Kairr Elam really have a bad ankle?). I think there were two major events to more readily propel teams to report injuries. The fiasco with Tua and his concussions. Note after the Miami "concussion "expert cleared Tua to play versus the Bills it wasn't long before he was fired and i noted a significant uptick and caution with concussions, especially on QBs. And the Damar Hamlin incident. That is the cold hard truth. If you play in the NFL today consider yourself a "modern gladiator" with all the associated long term negative physical and mental attributes.
  11. There should be analytics that mathematically can "prove" your claims of huge injury problems last few years or is this more a reflection of your gut instinct as magnified by the injury woes we have had this year. I think the CBA and the NFL are acutely aware players are bigger , faster, stronger. They continue to implement more and more rules to safeguard players so except more and more penalties and increasingly more benign football play and the equipment (as well as the treatment) . Every player , more or less, understand the inherent risks as does the NFL but unless you want the NFL to turn into the pro bowl or glorified flag football, you have to accept the cost benefit analysis of the game. Lets compare the average age of NFL players see how that has evolved over the last few years, if your assertion is correct the average age should be decreasing.
  12. Was he there for Russel Wilson or was that before him, i was amazed how how dropped for 1 inch in height. I also recall the DK Metcalf pick, i think the pre-draft pictures of DK were so hard to believe, how cut he was, he dropped.
  13. I dislike Pete Carroll but I have to give him or their organization a lot of credit for what they got from a declining Russel Wilson (sans last game) and how they resurrected Geno Smith is incredible, two major home runs.
  14. One bad trade you reference. Now lets examine the BIG deals. What did they get for Russel Wilson? What did they give up for Geno Smith?
  15. I predicted this because that is EXACTLY what Belichek did to us (with great success) when Tremaine was a rookie.
  16. You mean like what the Bills let Mac Jones do yo us a week ago?
  17. So based off one play of a 31 year old veteran that has played on three different NFL teams, based off that, you cite McD doesn't teach discipline or individual accountability? Good thing you dont jump to conclusions.
  18. I am! After that abomination in New England must be fans should be upset with how the team is playing. Three weeks in a row with terrible games we were were fortunate it wasn't 4 with that hail mary that no bill even touched, very fortunate we did get a PI on it (yes rarely called on hail marys) or the Bucs didnt catch it. How does a hail mary hit the ground unatouched?
  19. So What? The platitude you state doesn't come close to answering the posters question.
  20. you will be ready to move in if they don’t seal the deal soon, wow what tough statement. hey move on now, don’t let the door hit you in the asd!
  21. excellent, great distraction. have to admit, brilliant move. the idiot savant (giving him a lot of credit) Mike Mcdaniels is must see tv. he can talk about his own personal demons as can the dirt ball tyreek hill. ego and there are plenty in miami.
  22. I had a similar "Guy doesn't have it" moment. Texans versus the Bills , I was at the perfect angle at Reliant in Houston. EJ backs up, lofts a bill towards then end zone until JJ Watt jumps up, intercepts the ball and proceeds to go untouched 80 yards for a pick 6. It was like watching a slow moving car wreck live. Imagine, a defensive tackle getting an 80 yards pick six.
  23. Did you know he got a very high Wunderlich score? Did you also know he won the 72 ounce challenge at the Big Texan in Amarillo (I was there this summer, what a tourist trap, right down the street from another massive tourist trap, the inverted Cadillac ranch).
