A An A+ draft cannot contain Jones and Peterman. This is a law of nature- you can try to argue otherwise but deep down you know it’s true.

I’m torn - the Chargers we’re probably not the most disappointing this season but when I consider their body of work across many years they need to have an entire wing at Canton dedicated to their advancement of the art and science of Disappointment. I like #9 but could live with Chris Collinsworth being still able to talk

Great job channeling your inner Jerry -now jump in the shower and scrub until the feeling subsides because I know you need to!

The physical aspects of the play are unbelievable but for me it was another example of his ability to dial in mentally. I think that’s why he’s fielding punts and covering when on-sides kicks are coming and why he makes plays in big situations. He may be the most consistently dialed member of them along with Diggs.

Well played! And bonus points for referencing a criminally underrated movie…

THANK YOU SHAW FOR ANOTHER SEASON OF THESE TERRIFIC WRITE-UPS. I LOOK FORWARD TO THEM EACH WEEK AND AM NEVER DISAPPOINTED. GO BILLS!

Oliver DEFENSE Singletary They call me Mister Diggs (easy to take his excellence week in-week out for granted)

First off GREAT QUESTION thanks for starting the thread. I would go Dallas NE Vikings but am ok with any order. the thing about yesterday’s run was how totally dead the play looked at first - two defenders in ideal position to stop him short. I thought he would lower his shoulder and come up short but was as surprised as both NE defenders when he chose a finesse option I had not spotted.

The best ability is AVAILABILITY

RIP George Blanda - but Carolina needed him yesterday

I agree on your game balls and always appreciate the nicknames - my favorite this week: "El J"Efe Obada!

We arrived in NOLA on Sunday and have watched the build-up of Bills fans on the street to the point where I think that half of the people in the French Quarter are wearing Bills gear. Lots of “go Bills” and occasional Let’s Go Buffalo chants. I’m amazed at the variety of Bills gear out there and really need to up my game. What are others seeing?

I like the way you framed this Virgil, does anyone else have his skill set? Is that skill set easy to find and replace? I was so annoyed by Danny Amendola, and then somewhat by Beasley when he was a Cowboy, I mean how hard is it really to provide an almost guaranteed 3-8 yards? Really hard it turns out, or we would see more of it across the league. It's such a luxury to have that option. I think the question is whether he can keep it up as he takes on hits and ages but I would want to see a significant decline before letting him walk. That said, the Bills front office tends to do just fine without my advice...

Thanks Shaw, great write up as usual. Nice historical reference to the Jauron era and I feel like you summarized in one sentence all that was good and also soul-sucking about the "Jauronasic" era - play to lose not too badly...

Wow, that all sounds vaguely familiar. Luckily, during the drought I developed the "short memory" thing as a coping mechanism

Poyer needs more love here Bass-O-Matic's "Oh, I'll just chip in this 57-yarder" kept my blood pressure under control for a while Allen is just everything and everywhere Beasley gets hammered but keeps coming

Yep...Yep and definitely YEP!

McD - Chiefs needed this game more.... we wanted this game more

Thanks for this write-up, I look forward to them now - as soon as I saw the interception, I started wondering what this week's report would look like...

Agreed, and just like that, Virgil returns to MVP form this year also!

Thanks for the reminder on this - I finally broke down and got it

Oh yeah, I forgot about that beat-down, would love to see redemption there!

Thurman lived in the apartment above my grandmother his rookie season - behind the Tops market near Maple and Transit. We asked him why he didn't take a fancier place - said he was just a rookie, felt good coming off the injury but you never know. My grandmother was a Bills fanatic and introduced her 12 grandchildren to him one by one across his first season. He made time for us, was always positive and gracious. I certainly do not know him well but could see that he was raised to have good manners and did not lose that as he started to gain fame.

Yes good question on OJ, the overall lack of OJ on this site is interesting, seems like we'll talk about anything BUT OJ.

Seemed to take sports and journalism seriously but knew it was about having some fun. I worked as the delivery flunky at the pharmacy where he and the Carballata's went in the late 70's /early 80's - seemed like a good guy.
