  1. I'm looking for a bloodbath in the Philly/Dallas game (going on now) to get Philly softened up for next week.
  2. There is nothing in the article to suggest the Rams have indicated a shred of interest. It is idle speculation on the part of the author, and he says as much.
  3. Josh is struggling on deep pass attempts this season, but he's fine as far as overall accuracy is concerned. His receivers struggled with some drops on short and intermediate throws today, mostly in the first half.
  4. An offensive player other than the QB would have to be really sneaky to draw an Offside penalty. A QB can do it with a hard count once in a while. I have no idea how a tight end does it with out being called for a false start himself.
  5. Adam Gase has a rare gift. . . for destroying teams, ticking off his own players and making trouble with the league, the players association, the press, and just about anyone else you can think of. It is enjoyable to watch from the perspective of a Bills fan. Oh, and his defensive coordinator is no slouch either.
  6. I think the Dolphins have had two starting offensive linemen as non-participants in practice this week due to injury. If they can't go, Miami's bad offensive line could even be worse than usual. Ed Oliver is getting real hungry for his first sack. I think Jerry Hughes would like to get some more stats too.
  7. There has been speculation that Flores is having to cope with the threat of open rebellion in the locker room if he didn't start Fitzpatrick. It's looking more and more like a dumpster fire in Miami.Here's to hoping Adam Gase can set the stage for the same thing in New York. Gee, maybe when Belichick retires Robert Kraft could be persuaded to hire Gase in New England. Yeah, I know that's too much to hope for.
  8. Cleveland has the talent to do some damage if they can get out of their own way.
  9. In a further development, the XFL has indicated it's not certain they want Miami.
  10. Buffalo's defense is not the most complicated defense in the league. They play a lot of zone in the secondary, but can play man coverage as well, and do in the right situations. They play a lot of nickel defense and only do a modest amount of blitzing. Their success has not come from any secrets that Lewis might spill. It comes from talent and discipline and the fact that Edmunds has grown into the role of defensive signal caller, and does a great job. The secondary also has great communication.
  11. Oops! Now Fitz is gonna start. As you said, Fitz does not have the recent history to suggest that will make much difference.
  12. He's had a nice career. If healthy, he could have had several more years, but he's had enough of a career to be able to look back and feel good about what he's done. Assuming his career is over, hopefully his leg can be healed up enough to be able to walk normally and not cause him problems later on.
  13. Baltimore has to face a Buffalo secondary consisting of Tre White and Levi Wallace at CB, and Poyer and Hyde at safety. The depth ain't bad either.
  14. It sure seems as if the bad officiating of the past has become the terrible officiating of the present. I think the worst one of all (All Riveron) is in charge of the whole bunch.
  15. I sort of like the idea of Buffalo using NE. I look forward to the time when on the field we can also abuse them. No, I'm not talking about fans being abusive, but running the score up and embarrassing Belichick and Brady could be a lot of fun.
  16. "I'd be really shocked if Miami scores vs. Buffalo."
  17. My rule would be as follows. Each team gets one challenge per half. Every successful challenge earns one more. Your first failed challenge is your last challenge of the half. If Al Riveron continues to refuse to overturn blown calls on pass interference, they might as well repeal the option to challenge pass interference. If coaches know there is no overturn blown penalty calls and they only get one challenge, they'll just stop challenging them anyway.
  18. There must be some referee in the pro game with some integrity. Hopefully the league will can Al Riveron after the season and replace him with somebody that has at least a little integrity.
  19. The suspicion is that someone (Al Riveron?) was talking to the official, resulting in the call being changed, even though there had been no challenge, and no legitimate reason for Riveron to involve himself in the officiating. That raises the whole specter of the head of NFL officiating being involved in fixing games.
  20. It's just smart coaching for a coach to be ambiguous about who might play QB. Either way Miami should lose and it shouldn't be close. " Need a spark." Ha. The Dolphins are already a dumpster fire. What good is adding a spark to a dumpster fire? If I were a reporter, that's what I would have asked Flores.
  21. I think Singletary was probably healthy enough to go in the Titans game but the Bills, knowing how easy it is to aggravate a hammy that appears to be OK wanted to give him until after the bye to give a better chance of playing without re-injury. Since the Bills beat the Titans without Singletary, you gotta figure it was a smart move. Not if you're the 2019 Dolphins LOL.
  22. 6'3" 4.5 speed. Not a giant and not a burner, but enough size to be physical and enough speed to go deep.
  23. Balance and continuity are my keys to building a long term winner. Viva la process!
  24. Bonus limerick: There once was a team called the Fish And winning was always their wish. 'Til they got on the field And the truth was revealed For the Phins were fit just to be squished
  25. Miami is toast Sea level rising - Bills win Phin fans without hope
