  1. Hard to say if Polian could have found a better kicker at that time. As laid out pretty clearly in this article from a few years back, the quality of kicking has improved dramatically since circa 1990 so comparing Norwood and his peer group to a 2015-2019 kicker isn't really appropriate: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/kickers-are-forever/
  2. Players tend to say good things about new team owners, coaches, players and fans after signing large contracts to play there. Take what you will from such things.
  3. A few reps for Duke Williams today it appears!
  4. The Bills made Morse the highest paid Center in football. But you think the reason he signed with the Bills was that he'd rather play with Josh Allen vs. Patrick Mahomes? Alrighty then!
  5. Cool in what way? I mean, it's cool to us homers on TBD but I seriously doubt living in Buffalo and paying NYS taxes has become cool just because the Bills are a wild card team two out of three years.
  6. The other thread is about Ben retiring from futsal. It's entirely different. https://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2019/12/23/report-roethlisberger-wants-to-play-in-2020/ Actually, it may only be futsal. This article says he's committed to football.
  7. I hope so. Or they figure out how to better optimize his talents, which may be differently than how he's being utilized thus far.
  8. Edmunds tackling vs. the run was on display vs. the Patriots and he had a poor game. Credited with 4 missed tackles. Sorry, as a middle LB he needs to be better than that. He's young and it may be improving but it's still the hole in his game.
  9. This. Daboll was scared most of the 2nd half.
  10. At least a few eyeballs might be on the ball carrier on a QB sneak.
  11. More accurately, the Bills have no future with Daboll here
  12. Imagine if Oliver or Ford were NOT on this team.
  13. Saints and Chiefs just put in waiver claims on guys they expect to contribute immediately...they are tinkering trying to get better. It's a Darwinian game...need to keep evolving each week or fall behind.
  14. Great anticipation but I feel like if the camera angle were truly down the line (this one is situated behind the offense) then it may show he was into the neutral zone before the ball had moved. I mean, I can't tell for sure but in any event it was so close I can understand the call. (I was in the stadium, right in front of that play and it sure looked off-sides live).
  15. Saints are playing catch out there. It's almost like the Colts are playing defense with 9 guys.
  16. John Rauch 1969–1970 Harvey Johnson.]1971 Lou Saban 1972–1976 Jim Ringo 1976–1977 Chuck Knox 1978–1982 Kay Stephenson 1983–1985 Hank Bullough 1985]–1986 Marv Levy 1986–1997 Wade Phillips 1998–2000 Gregg Williams 2001–2003 Mike Mularkey 2004–2005 Dick Jauron2006–2009 Perry Fewell 2009 Chan Gailey 2010–2012 Doug Marrone 2013–2014 Rex Ryan 2015–2016 Anthony Lynn 2016 Sean McDermott 2017–present 18 coaches since Chuck Knoll started in Pittsburgh. There were 4 before Rauch, although one of those was Lou Saban in his first tenure with the Bills. My fandom started with Jim Ringo, I do not recall being aware of Lou Saban as coach even though I guess I was a fan already (at 6 years old ? Only Levy and maybe Saban (if you include his earlier stint when they won 2 AFL Championships) are in the class of any of the three Steelers coaches for accomplishments. Let's hope McDermott gets there!
  17. Fans were very spoiled back then after all the years of home playoff games. And the economy was pretty bad in WNY at that time so paying the higher price to fill the 80,000 seat stadium before the era of Stubhub was not so easy as today. in 2020, opposing team fans would soak up the remaining tickets in any event.
  18. Edmunds rankings in the NFL among LB's through 13 games: Tackles: 17th (tied with one guy) Sacks: Tied with many for 75th with 1.5 Interceptions: Tied with many for 14th with 1 Passes defensed: Tied with several for 6th with 9 Credited with a safety Not credited with any forced or recovered fumbles yet this season. I'm hoping next year he can start to impact in more 'game changing' ways with more picks, sacks, and forced fumbles. That heads-up pick of Lamar Jackson being a great example. Heck, maybe in the next 3+ weeks.
  19. Steelers just changed to color rush all black...5-0 for them in this uni, if you happen to think that matters (I doubt it). http://www.gridiron-uniforms.com/GUD/controller/controller.php?action=weekly&year=2019&week=15&league=NFL
  20. Edmunds makes some great plays and still has a ton of upside. Acknowledging he is still, at times, slow to recognize the right gap to hit and make the play in the middle of the field is a fair point. If you are old enough to remember watching them, think about Edmunds play in this one area (plugging the middle) compared to Fletcher, Spielman, or Conlan. It's not even close yet. The point being if he is to become truly all-world MLB so to speak, he needs that aspect to his game. It may come.
  21. I'm going to the game and not even going to wear a Bills hat. Those Stillers fans will have been drinking all day. Anyone who waves a red towel essentially mocking their beloved terrible towel in their own building is asking for trouble. I mean, if you are a super bada** and that's how you roll, go for it. But this middle age guy is there to enjoy an exciting game with my friends.
  22. Watching the hi-lights of one game is really a sound basis for expert analysis. Thank you so much.
  23. It's not really NE hate so much as they are not a good offense this season. But I get your point.
  24. Let's mimic an offense other than New England's this year.
