Bob Chandler's Hands

Imagine if Oliver or Ford were NOT on this team.

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.

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).

Saints are playing catch out there. It's almost like the Colts are playing defense with 9 guys.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Watching the hi-lights of one game is really a sound basis for expert analysis. Thank you so much.

It's not really NE hate so much as they are not a good offense this season. But I get your point.

Let's mimic an offense other than New England's this year.

Actually you divided by 4. If you divided by C the answer would have been 4. #Advancedanalytics

No kidding this is driving me nuts. He cost the Bills 5-10 yards of field position on a couple of kickoffs vs. Baltimore. I am not exactly "concerned" about the lack of ST or especially defensive touchdowns, but I do think it calls into question Roberts value to the team. He had one nice kick-off return and is clearly adept at fielding punts and picking up a few yards. So it's not like he's made egregious mistakes, but to hold down an active roster spot without contributing on offense at all, he needs to do more.

That Duluth team was outstanding.

He's under contract with Buffalo. If they want to trade a couple first rounders for him...

I enjoyed watching Kyle Williams play and think he seems like a pretty decent guy so I am not going to let him influencing Lee 'Yellow Flag' Smith come to Buffalo ruin that for me.

Excellent comparison. Singletary is like Sanders in the same way that a single engine Cessna is like an F-16. Yes, they both fly and can carry a passenger. Don't get me wrong I like Singletary but let's not get carried away here.

Ravens look dynamite but there's a saying about "any given Sunday" which is the reason they don't play the games on paper but actually strap 'em on and man up to find out who will win. Lots of things can happen with special teams plays, injuries, defensive scores...let's see how it goes.

I see what you did there! Very clever.

Henderson? You must be smoking something. (We know Seantrel is...)

The jet lag will create significant challenges to visiting teams and for the London team on the road. West Coast-London in particular will be noticeable. Flying in Business Class and managing sleep and so forth makes it tolerable, but the brain and body can't be fooled. It takes close to a day per hour time zone change to adapt to the local timezone. 6 to 9 hours of time zone differences can only be overcome...maybe...if the visiting team departs for London on Monday for a game the following Sunday. I'm not an expert on this by any means but I have flown to Asia and Europe well over 100 times, read plenty of books and articles on it, spoken at length with co-workers doing the same thing, etc. Playing a sport at the highest level will expose even small gaps in physical and mental preparedness and energy levels IMO. Not sure if the NFL will care about this. The NFLPA might but probably can't (or won't) stop it from happening. Maybe it will be a bargaining chip to eliminate the Thursday night games which seem inhuman to subject players to that abuse a mere 4 days after the prior game.

Not sure, but for reference the Buffalo and Rochester MSA's combined are 2.1M people whereas Portland-Hillsboro-Vancouver, WA MSA is 2.5M alone. It's surprisingly big. Only one NBA team for major league sports competition. I looked up median household income and it's roughly 40% higher in Portland vs. Buffalo (just for comparison purposes). Mo' money...

Agree with this except Portland is probably large enough (25th largest Metro area in the US)
