  1. It was his first game back after being on IR for 9 games to end last season with a broken bone in his foot. Those last 9 games were, an RB by committee for the Titans but Foreman and McNichols are gone, and Hilliard is out for this game. They have no proven backup RBs now that Hilliard is out tomorrow.
  2. There is no "probable" designation anymore. Questionable is any player who has a 50-99% chance of playing.
  3. After all the amputations this week OBD will look like the back of a Civil War field hospital.
  4. TBH Diggs was warned earlier in the game by the sideline judge after he caught that great back shoulder sideline catch. There was even a play (can't remember which one now) where Von could have got a taunting penalty. The guys got to keep their cool and celebrate with their own. They don't need a reputation of getting into opponents faces. I'm actually happily shocked Diggs didn't get a flag.
  5. Yes. When they did that rule change the definition of "Questionable" and "Doubtful" were changed. So now if a player is questionable, it can be anywhere from a slight chance he doesn't play up to 50/50. A lot of questionable players play every week now that probable is no longer an option. Doubtful is now anyone over a 50/50 chance they will not play. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/08/21/nfl-drops-probable-from-injury-report-redefines-questionable-and-doubtful/ So, basically, any player whose chances of playing are less than 100 percent is “questionable,” and any player whose chances of playing are 49.9999 percent of less is “doubtful.” While these changes streamline the process, they create a much broader range for “questionable,” allowing visiting teams to keep the truly injured players under wraps until they head to the site of the game and leave the injured players behind. For home teams, the question of whether a “questionable” player will play won’t be finally resolved until the list of inactive players is filed 90 minutes prior to kickoff.
  6. The way I see it, this year in Dec and Jan (regular season) the Bills play the Jets, Dolphins and Patriots at home. The only warm weather team is the fish. I'd rather play them in Buffalo in Dec than Miami. Tua will be at a much greater disadvantage than Allen IMO.
  7. True, 59.77%. Also true is the opposing QBs in Orchard Park last year had a 52.3% completion %. Allen was sacked 11 times at home last year but the opposing QBs were sacked 26 times. I'm sure those categories matter too. Rain, snow and wind effect both sides. I wouldn't worry about it.
  8. The thing I always noticed about Von when he played in Denver is he is not a one trick pony just getting to the QB. His play against the run and check down passes is also very good. He's a disruptor.
  9. Is this like "bunny money"?
  10. As long as the apex of Von's triangle is the opposing QB, I'm fine with it.
  11. Every once and a while I speak about "commentators", and it is seldom positive. I even have to remind myself of that with my own opinions. If Mr. Shaw was alive now, I think he would modify his famous quote, "Those who can do, do and those who can't, comment".
  12. I used to go twice a year. Once on Westinghouse Day (where my Dad worked) and Cheektowaga Day with my friend's family. Some of the highlights of summer!
  13. So that image just sits in memory even if you don't have a signal? That's a great tip, if so. Thanks!
  14. It was bad enough when you still printed them.
  15. No problem. I will admit every time I get "electronic" tickets from any of these companies, I'm a little anxious until I receive them. I guess it's more of an "old man" thing than anything. I remember buying Sabres tickets a few years ago and they said you'll get them a week before and it ended up being like 2 days. So far, I have always got them.
  16. I never used them for NFL tickets, but we have for concert tickets years ago.
  17. VividSeats has been around for years. I doubt you are getting scammed.
  18. The more Josh plays in the Buffalo elements, the better he will get at working within them. It will become a big advantage, especially with QBs like Herbert and Tua coming to town.
  19. LOL. If that was his plan, he's worse at GM work than I thought.
  20. Tre White was picked right after him.
  21. Yeah, if that's true it just shows that his plan last year failed. He spent a ton in FA and did draft a QB (I don't believe the Kraft thing at all). Now he decides to throw in the towel? His OC's and the tank are now approved by Kraft? If he is seen tanking, he will lose the locker room, next year's FAs and the fans. He will have to start from scratch. He's a great coach but as a GM he let the team slip away from him. It's as simple as that.
  22. Dentrell Hilliard (DNP) is their 3rd down pass catching/change of pace RB. If he is out that is a big loss for the Titans. They got 2 rookies (Haskins a 4th rounder and an UDFA) behind him. Cannon is also there but he is a KR/STer. Hilliard caught 2 TDs for them in the Giants game.
  23. Milano and Edmunds. 1. In the beginning of the game they negate any long Derrick Henry runs. Of course, it's helped by the DL. 2. As the game progresses, they keep Tannehill from running for cheap 1st downs. 3. At the end they defend the middle in the passing game making Tannehill throw outside. 4. After the Bills success with rushing only 4 last week (and most of the 1st half of Monday's game) they each get a called blitz and it catches the Titans off guard.
  24. BB legacy can be argued by anyone who wants to. All I care about is how his team plays this year. It's about the present and future, not the past for me.
