  1. I think he would have been fine, since he would have bailed on every throw to avoid contact and then faked an injury at halftime.
  2. They should have been watching for whales instead.
  3. Probably more like 1 and 1a with the order being debatable
  4. If you're going to give the finger to fate, at least check your work.
  5. Based on one guy. A guy whose body I think is showing some signs that he's not up for the long haul any more.
  6. Happy Birthday, young buck. Hope you had a good one.
  7. A lovely parting gift from Coach Daboll
  8. I really enjoyed watching that in a barn full of Stillers fans.
  9. I'd considered getting it intentionally a couple times, but when my wife had it and I took zero precautions and still didn't pick it up, forget it.
  10. That offense looks very crisp and well-coached, imo.
  11. Actually, it's Moss' job to be looking at the defense and the QB's job it be looking in the basket when he sticks it in there. It's part of the reason that most fumbled exchanges go to teh QB. And Motor has fumbled 3 times on pass plays vs Moss' 2, so it doesn't change the point that Motor fumbles 2-3 time more than Moss per touch.
  12. Maybe the best example out of a bunch of them. Was lots of fun in a room full of pissed off Stiller fans.
  13. I could have typed every word in this post. We the lucky ones.... 👍
  14. If a DB gets "cracked" (blocked down to the inside by a WR) another DB is supposed to get over him to the outside and "replace" him so there's still a DB with outside contain.
  15. It was almost like Dorsey was using Moss' carries to keep the defense honest and set them up for Singletary's weak side carries to the wide side of the field.
  16. There were a few instances where I noticed that Poyer layed off bringing the lumber at the end of a play, which is very out of character for him. That looked like another one of them. I think he's really protecting that elbow right now.
  17. They were probably scared to death of you guys. Yeah, it sounded pretty close on TV. Close enough they I would have guessed it was 30-40% bills fans, not 15%
  18. I think a lot of the disconnect is that I'm not much of a stat guy; there are very few instances where I find them really useful. For the RB position when so much of the result is wholly dependent on the 10 other guys around you, stats hold little water for me. I think he's a better pass catcher because he's more instinctual at finding holes in zones, and he's smoother at tracking the ball, securing it and transitioning upfield. If I look at that, it tells me that Moss' runs are coming in predictable situations with loaded boxes (i.e later in games with leads where the Bills have indeed used him frequently, as well as obvious short yardage situations where the Bills have also used him frequently) and he's getting contact right near the LOS, while Motor is getting carries in more diverse situations that allow him to get some momentum going forward before he's dealing with tacklers.
  19. Get that ridiculous nonsense out of here That was the first and only time Moss has fumbled in the 200+ carries he's had for this team. That's 1 fumble for every 214 carries In the 500 carries that Singletary has had, he's fumbled 7 times. That's 1 fumble for every 71 carries. That means Singletary has fumbled about three times more often than Moss. Who has the fumbling problem? 🤡
  20. I don't agree with this at all. Motor is certainly a better ballcarrier with better vision and more wiggle, but Moss is still a better blocker, a better short yardage back and a better pass receiver. I think all of those things are self-evident. I do agree that they need Singletary more involved and both of their backs need more touches to take some pressure off Allen and minimize the wear and tear that is inevitably going to start accumulating. That's just flat out silly;
  21. Yeah, I should have put DaQuon in there also, he's a tough grinder up there. Phillips is generally tearing upfield as fast as he can so I don't see him holding the POA all that often.
  22. Yeah, when he had any room to operate he dropped the hammer on people a couple times. There were also a few times that he had OLinemen in his lap as soon as he got the ball and he did well to get a yard or two out of it. He's not going to make people miss, but he's good in multiple facets of the game and the coaches clearly trust him with a variety of responsibilities. I don't know why so many people dump on him all the time, he's a tough ballplayer and there is absolutely a role for him on this team.
  23. Moss actually excelled in that role a couple years ago if I remember right.
  24. Thank you; it's good to know I'm not totally out to lunch.
