I thought this thread would be about the Bills not punting for the 4th time in the last six games! Why do we even bother wasting a roster spot on these people?? 🙂

Do you think he has been Wally Pipped? 😁

My wife and I have been spending a lot of brainpower on this very question, since a Bills win means we will be eating it at least 16 more times this year...

I think it's a combination of the defender being a good sportsman and not hitting the QB when they are close to the sidelines and heading out, and defenders not wanting to draw an unnecessary roughness penalty by an overzealous official. That is when some QB's take advantage and fake going out of bounds. If a QB gets known for that, they risk losing the "good sportsman discount" as well as drawing flags for late hits, making defenders more likely to hit them if they are close.

Yeah, but it's a dry heat, right?? 😉

If these guys can block, why can't Gesicki? Is this something our staff can teach him, is it something he would be willing to do to be on a SB favorite, or he is unwiling to do so and thus he is not a process guy?

I anticipated this response and started addressing it in my initial post, but then I thought better of it. Just as our offense was not playing against the defensive #1's, our QB's did not get to play with our offensive #1's. It works both ways. I just don't think we can write off the team as being unwinnable without JA. It was an overreaction on your part based on a single preseason game, and the first one to boot. We are certainly not the same team without 17, but fortunately, there are 52 other players on the field who have a say in game outcomes.

We won today without JA, didn't we?

He appears to be askinbg the staff member, "Does this Poyer jersey make me look fat?" 😆

I don't know. Have you ever hit your funny bone? It's not very humerous/humurus....

Certainly possible, and maybe even probable. I can just envision a scenario where they want to look tough.

I can see a scenario where the NFL hired the 3rd pary judge, then appealed their decision to "show" the public just how tough they are with sexual deviants. "The fair and impartial judge said to give a 6-game suspension, but we think it should be even higher. See how tough we are?"

I know two people who were employed by the federal government who were suspended and eventually terminated for personal conduct outside of work. Granted, they were law enforcement officers, but the conduct was not egregious.

I'm pretty sure Medicare will cover the costs, so Tampa should have no worries.

LOL And I bet you just drive by a bloody car wreck without rubbernecking. Party pooper! 😜

If so, it'll be a quiet riot....

From Merriam-Webster: Definition of niggling : PETTY also : bothersome or persistent especially in a petty or tiresome way - niggling injuries First known use of the word was in the year 1599.

I'm not sure if it is as much that Watkins didn't "know" how to train for the upcoming season. I think he was just too immature and selfish to actually put in the work. I'm sure some coach along the way told him how to do it. Unfortunately, no coaches/trainers on that Bills team could force or convince him to do it. Hopefully he has finally learned how important it is for his career to put in the effort now. Talent takes you only so far. Work ethic takes you much further.

I haven't seen an autopsy report, but that would surely prove or disprove his claim.

"Becky has finally had enough of the players hitting on her."

When I was a kid, my dad took my little brother and I to a practice session in Fredonia. My 5 year old brother was in a cast from a broken arm. I remember OJ coming out of the locker room saying, "No autographis until after practice. No autographis until after practice." Then he saw my brother in the cast and said, "Except for this kid here." He then signed my brother's cast. Unfortunately, that signed memorabilia is now probably compost in a landfill somewhere. 🙄

Especially if it was Fitzpatrick! 😃 Come on Fitz curse!!!!

Anyhooo..... I am a first time STH (or STM as the Bills like to call us). Just bought them yesterday. Anybody want to buy two tickets for the Bills-Jets game on December 11 for a mere $500 each?? Could be the division-deciding game!
