No offense to McKenzie but Shakir might have his job pretty soon. Better hands and more dependable, creates more after getting the ball, better instincts.

You gotta love Shakir Moss has a fatal lack of football sense which is what Shakir has in spades

Is it me or is this game crazy?

In 88, I was a kid who waited an hour in line at Hills for Bruce Smith’s autograph. (Funny how many of us did this.) When I was three people away, they announced it was over and he got up to leave. I followed him to the parking lot, this was about 7pm and it was dark, and as he was getting into his car I yelled out like a moron, “Bruce, I hope you sack Marino on Sunday!” (We we’re playing the Phins.) He smiled, shrugged, and said “Thanks, kid.” A couple years ago I got to have dinner with Thurman and he was super cool. Also paid for an expensive dinner for all five people, cracked jokes, and even talked about old games a little. You could see he loves the current team and roots hard for them. Just an awesome, warm dude. I had to connect it in my mind that this friendly and kind person was the same human did all those things I watched growing up.

Sunday forecast: sunny with a high of 57 degrees. Fall

Same here. He's special.

Yup, pretty nutty weather month! But the craziest thing is when Josh said "hand to Bible" he didn't know we were playing the Chiefs next week. Talk about taking it one game at a time. That's incredible.

Does Josh have a cold?

Honestly? Buffalo 39, Pittsburgh 9. We roll. Running game gets back on track. Josh efficient. Diggs and Shakir produce in the absence of anyone else! Von gets 3 sacks.

I wish we could run this sneak on regular 3rd and 4th and 1s!

Had to watch the second half alone. Focus all calm energies on the Bills. Thank God I did!

He talks about how hard it is to stay out of fights and how he’d rather “spend time at home with an acquaintance” than go out drinking. Not very believable phrasing. Way too many people I grew up with in Buffalo never got anywhere because of constant drinking and partying.

Two facts that might be related: the Phins treated their QB this way and their owner is Stephen Ross. People like Ross find ways around the rules; hire lackeys everywhere; find loyalists to run the protocols; game the system to have "success" at any cost, etc. He did the same stuff in real estate, getting city permission to build Hudson Yards in New York, which looks like a massive skyscraper / shopping mall from Dubai was dropped into the city and which no one needed or likes.

The tape of his head slamming against the turf after Milano pushed him, and his groggy reaction and subsequent collapse, is evidence of a concussion, no matter what he said or even thought at the time. It is very possible that he passed the protocol but still had a concussion. If this is a nothingburger, why was the NFLPA investigating it even before the horrific concussion with full fencing response yesterday?

Surprised to read this. It’s pretty well known that it’s far easier to get concussed again with bad consequences while recovering from a concussion, which from all visible evidence (head slamming to the turf, confusion, wobbly legs) it appeared Tua had against the Bills.

Also, the Chiefs were drained from their game with us. We might have been too, but I think we would have beaten the Bengals.

His career could be over

Well aren’t you a tough guy?

Stephen Ross is human scum. We've known that but this is more proof. Tua should not play again for this season. They're going to kill him or turn him into a vegetable, and the Dolphins clearly do not care. This is sickening.

We need to win our division. Go Bengals.

So that’s why they call ya the Brown Bear.

Maybe the Bills were really going for an undefeated season? That kind of reaction to a week three loss is hard to explain unless you don’t want to lose at all this year. I have a feeling they will torch Baltimore.

Trial by fire today. I think Buffalo comes through! LET’S GO.

I love this thread. Let’s go Stef!
