  1. Thank you. It's tough to stay rational with this team. I'm going to become a heavy drinker to offset the burden
  2. I thought the same thing in the moment. I wanted to see a different camera angle to see if he could have gotten down to grab that.
  3. I can't tell if you are agreeing with me or not. I'm going to assume you are and we are best friends!!! Now, tell me what you do for a living!
  4. It's one of the things that so many of us overlook. Huge point. And Woods is making his share of mistakes too. I want to like Woods and see him succeed, but I just don't see him putting enough together this season to earn the money that someone else will pay him.
  5. The Ravens aren't done losing yet and we get to rectify the week 2 loss at the end of the season. Looking at tie-breakers this early is maddening.
  6. I think the defense got outplayed a lot today. I'll take the win, but they had us running around and back-tracking a lot. Robey-Coleman made a great play or we are having a different conversation
  7. Makes that week 2 loss hurt even more. Hey PatsFanNH, go !@#$ yourself! I'm sorry, it just comes out when I see one of you . In all seriousness, thank you for having some class on this board. I really hope you guys find a way to lose a few more, especially Oct 30th. Seeing Brady put up 400 yards today, Browns or not, doesn't feel good.
  8. I love this kid! He might be my favorite player on the defense right now
  9. Phew. Let's just all take a minute and exhale and then get the hell out of LA. This is a game we find a way to lose. It was ugly, we got beat in spots, but it's still a W in the win column. I'm going to be a little more cynical with these points, but it's more about looking forward for corrections than not appreciating the win. With that, in honor of BillFromNYC.... 1 - This was probably our second worst game of the season in regards to not establishing a rhythm. We had a few good drives and we scored 30 points, which is nothing to sneeze at. But the team was inconsistent from drive to drive. As Rex would say, we didn't quit and that is true. I also give a ton of credit to the Rams coaching here. More on this later. 2 - McCoy looks vintage with both his cuts and speed. He was without question the offensive MVP and I don't want to think about how this game would have looked without him. Felton was right there with him and just made some great blocks. While TT added some rushing yards also, our rushing attack is much more balanced to our HB's this year. Biggest bright spot of the game. 3 - Robey-Coleman was an absolute spark plug for this team and the reason we were able to pull this game out. His burst to intercept that pick-6 and his emotion from that point on seemed to fuel the defense. He sure woke me up and got me back in the game. Props to this kid and everything he did for us. 4 - You sit there in crying, braiding your hair, You say you got trouble, my friend has a fair, Don't tell me your troubles, I got enough of my own, Be thankful for living, drink up and go home. Now there is still some blind man, blind he can't see, You think he's complaining, why should you appeal? Don't tell me your troubles, I got enough of my own, Be thankful for living, drink up and go home. 5 - TT watch. I'm going to stick up for Tyrod in this game. He wasn't stellar by any means. We are not going to talk about him lining up behind Incognito . BUT, I think the lack of rhythm in this game had a huge affect on him and it's starting to be a theme for him. He looked terrible in the first two games. In games 3 & 4 however, Lynn found a way to move him around, establish some throws, and get him comfortable. That never seemed to happen today. The miss of Woods deep was a rough pass. I'm starting to think that he can't quite pinpoint Wood's speed. However, his last TD was a true grit throw. He found Clay OVER THE MIDDLE and often in the beginning. And credit to the Rams DB's for making some good plays. I'm chalking this game up to being on the West Coast and just being an off rhythm game for everyone. 6 - Gilmore watch. I feel like I have an internal meter that sways every game in regards to whether or not I want to extend Gilmore. This game, not so much. I keep hearing people say that think he's playing to not get injured. While I don't think that any player is that consciousness on the field, I get the sentiment. He's not playing at a level to deserve top 5 money. I'm going to give some leeway because of my issues with the scheme today (more on that later), but he's also not making the tackles. Overall, outside of Arizona, I can't remember really hearing his name mentioned in a good way. 7 - Rex vs Fisher. Please ignore my screen name while I say this as I've been starting to give Rex some credit lately. HOWEVER, I think Fisher owned Rex and the defense for most of this game. Keenum was completely passes all over the place and they weren't pinpoint throws. The Rams offense did a great job of using our over-commits against us. Most of the WR's were wide open and moved around the field. They did a great job of moving the pocket. I would have loved to see Rex have gone to a more basic defense. Keep one safety, keep Keenum in a tight pocket, and have him make the hard throws. 8 - Offensive Line gets a lot of credit today. There a small handful of plays where it got blown up, but they were pretty dominant for the most part. Aaron Donald was a non-factor with only 2 tackles. Easley was more of a force, but when you run for over 150 yards, the O-Line gets the credit. I'm very happy with how this unit is playing. 9 - Special Teams are making me more and more nervous. Another game, another miss by Carpenter. The decision to bring some of the kick-off's out of the endzone made me nervous. Credit to their punter, but field position really kept the Rams in this game early. I also have to give credit for stopping them on the fake punt. It was the game. That alone should be enough for positive marks. But I don't think it should have ever gotten to that point. 10 - A win is a win. We are 3-2 when it looked like 0-5 was very possible. They aren't all pretty but this is a game that we don't normally win and you need to if you are going to make the playoffs. We have two winnable games coming up (Kaep hopefully doesn't provide a spark) and then we welcome Brady to the Cap. Welcome to the team Justin Hunter. Not much talk about the Brown's in the middle, no disrespect intended. Smile, take the win, now get home. See some of you at the game next week. GO BILLS!!!!!!
  10. I'm not saying I fully expect a win, but I just don't get that.
  11. This what should happen. But we are the Bills and I'm nervous
  12. Not only did we win, we beat the patriots in foxboro. Don't worry, they will all be terrible and order will be restored when we lose to the rams
  13. I miss a simpler time where refs could make that call and we would appreciate it for what it was.
  14. 2-0. Bills. Safety on first drive. Rex gets cocky and punts on 1st down trying to prove the defense can win. Dareus clogs the middle and it's a sack-fest for the OLB's. The rams have to activate a cheerleader at QB. Or 62-0 Rams. Who knows.
  15. His cap his will only be 16 mil. Considering what Osweiler got in Houston, that will be a steal. He just beat the Pats and Cards defenses. What do you need to see boss? I'm not saying he's elite or even top 10. But he's doing what he needs to do these past few games and doing it for a reasonable price. Also, we will be picking 10-20 in all likelihood. Who do you think is starting for us?
  16. I actually knew that, but apparently am also stupid during the hours of 12am and 11:59pm
  17. If you paid attention around the field, a lot of guys were slipping and they had some errand throws too. I think the weather made for some slippery throws. It was really coming down a few times.
  18. I honestly don't think Shaq would be playing any better. Him and Zach have been huge this year. White too, when called upon.
