Not my weird job, but my father's current retirement job, in addition to mowing the cemetery lawn for the local church, is basically preparing gravesites and doing burials at said cemetery. He has some summer help (18 year old kids) and he still works circles around them at 75. I guess it has to get done but we always tease him that it's a little bit of a weird job.

The same ratio as unicorns to leprechauns

Impossible!!!!

It gives the whole "game of inches" saying a whole new meaning. There are so many factors that go into a play that it really can be the difference in a win and a loss.

We're trading first round picks with the Dolphins???? just kidding...had to do it considering how the phins are the darlings of the NFL world now.

I think more than his blocking abilities its his ability to set the protections and his veteran presence on the line that was missed the most. Allen was under fire the whole game and most of our runs just got swallowed up. I think even more than all of the defensive injuries we need Morse back the most. If our O can fire on (even almost) all cylinders, even with the D injuries we will be in most games until the D starts to get healthy again.

Disgusting, but true. Manning used to talk about that too and I think Brady mentioned it (or at least a lineman of his mentioned Brady used to give him sh&t for it). I can only imagine what was going on down there in that heat lol

I guarantee if Allen spiked the ball and time ran out (due to losing a second or two from the muff) you would make a thread complaining that Allen should have known better and just tried to throw a pass.

I honestly haven't decided yet. I mean, at the end of the day, it has to happen, for the overall good.

That was me with my 3 year old (my wife hates football...or rather hates what it does to me lol). He at one point said "daddy I don't like your team...change the channel". So I guess he is a huge reason we lost as well!

If our defense is going to be majorly short-handed again, I think the hopeful return of Morse would be huge. If our O line performs better we can actually afford to be in a mild shoot-out if our D has a down day. Kind of tough to have the D have a down day AND have our O line under siege all day (which, in my opinion is a huge reason for the 17 point offensive outing yesterday (yes lots of mistakes, miscues, etc. as well)).

Her sound on or the TV's?

Because my 3 year old wouldn't stop chatting me up during the game and I couldn't focus my energy on producing the win for us! My brother was also travelling (newly married so he is doing "married stuff" on weekends....I blame him. I'll never let this go.

I gotcha. Hopefully we can get some guys back and go on a mini-run before the bye week. If we can pull off 3-0 before the bye we would have the tie breaker over Baltimore, Pittsburgh (if they somehow finished in a spot to compete for the one seed lol), and KC. Hopefully we don't drop another "should have won that" game this year and find ways to close out close ones.

In defense of his post...its the Dolphins at 3-0 in 1st place in the division and conference...then a huge log jam at 2-1 with us right there. We play the Ravens and Chiefs in the next 3 weeks (2 of the currently 2-1 teams) and obviously get the Dolphins again. I think the team will be fine. We aren't 0-3. We're 2-1.

That's a tough one. Probably not on a single player and more the cumulative effect of having so many guys out. I would like to think that if Hyde or Poyer had played, a couple of those deep balls would have been defended/incomplete. Might have been the difference in the game. Yeah I could go with that too. We clearly had issues up front and he sets the protections and handles the communication.

Shoot really? Do you have a link? I have got to see that official somewhere.

I think you misspelled "pathetic" in your thread title.

He's a professional...football coach. He's not in kindergarten teacher doing this because some of the kids won't take naps. It's an emotional game and these guys put more time into their jobs in a week than most do in about a month. You're acting like a baby.

Reminds me of the Bills win over NE in week 3 2011...both 2 and 0. Brady with 4 picks. And we had to kick winning FG at the buzzer. NE went to the Super Bowl that year and Bills I think went 5 and 11 after 3 and 0 start.

I was thinking during the game that it really isn't an advantage for the home team either...the body can only take so much heat.

We seriously need them to stop getting so injured and dehydrated and getting their brains cooked in 100 degree weather. Uggggghhhhh what is with these GUYSSS1!!23131113!#t5135!!1

The Dolphins can easily lose on the road at Cincy, on a short week, after a game where their own players must be exhausted (as the Bills were) and the Bills can beat Baltimore tying them at 3-1 (yes Dolphins have the tie breaker but it's really an "incomplete" tie breaker as we still have to play them again).

Yeah good point. But I guess it was "his back" that got injured. I've had back injuries and while it's been almost impossible to walk when it flares up...I've never wobbled like Tua did. He was basically out on his feet. If that had been boxing or MMA, it would have been a KO most likely.

What would Tua even have to say to Allen? "Don't worry kid, you'll still have a bright future". "Hang in there pal, you guys are just getting started...you'll have your chance". The savvy veteran Tua with some sage advice for the upstart Kid. I can think of a couple. Having like 8 negative yardage running plays and having our O line getting almost no push.
