He's got to be frustrated. Players are human, and if he knows what we know, that this leadership can't bring this team over the hump, it's hard to stay motivated day in and day out when you know the coaching staff and general manager can't get you to the promised land. I don't think he has gone hollywood or anything. I think he knows that we won't get there and it's showing with his play and mentality. Totally me reading into it, but to me that is a look of a man who knows the can't win a super bowl with this regime.

I'd say it's more the Marty Shottenheimer type of curse.

A bunch of similarities between Atlanta and Tampa. So I would say yes, we are in trouble.

I think Edwards stays. He’s a Kromer guy. His career took a nosedive without Kromer. He also has a history of injuries and Buffalo is clearly doing something right in that regard. Obviously, can’t keep them all, but he feels like the more likely guy to stay. McGovern is interesting. He obviously wanted to play center and has got that wish here. He’s also versatile and just turned 28. He feels like he is in line for a major pay day whereas Edwards has some red flags that make staying here more likely.

Falls back on the defense. If they can't stop anybody, Josh is in a pressure cooker to score points. That game got away from them quick. It's hard to establish teh run and have a balanced offense if the defense can't get stops. Yes, Josh is struggling, yes we need more speed, but the problem is, and has mostly always been in the Josh period, the defense. Pointing at you HC.

All I know about Hayball is he's an Australian guy, lefty and led the league in punts inside the 20 last year. However, the Saints replaced him after 1 year. I think Stonehouse is better if he is over that injury, but either make sense at this point rather than bringing back Robbins. I do think the Camarda thing was weird. I guess he really regressed from his first couple of years. Stonehouse def more interesting in my opinion.

Was it Ryan Stonehouse who was at the tryout with Johnston? He probably makes sense to bring back for a tryout.

Agreed. He has quickly become Mr. Glass.

Franklin ridiculously good on kick coverage. He certainly flashed today.

I was actually worried. I was at the game on the Bills side and all we could see was Josh sitting by a cooler back to us surrounded by a bunch of people. I was concerned it could be a concussion or a shoulder injury. Happy it was nothing, but live we never saw the TV shots that showing that he clearly had an issue with his nose.

I like games like today when the team can win with Josh doing basically nothing. He can save the Superman stuff when it really counts. This game reminded me of an old patriots type game that was boring as hell, but efficient and relatively easy. I’m very happy with what I am seeing so far as it is a great formula for longevity and long term success in the season.

a bit surprised no one claimed him

Cole Strange. Hasn’t been good, but he is the kind of ridiculous athlete that Aaron Kromer has had a ton of success developing. He was also over drafted into a dumpster fire and thrown to the wolves. He was always a small school guy athlete who needed development time. Good piece of clay for Kromer.

When did the Pats hire Doug Whaley?

I love it. The team needs a little edge. They need to play like bullies
