i am thinking he would be hard to understand, what with talking through his butt hole and all.

It seemed to me that Shaq barely played. He did make a great play on a run, powering inside his blocker and lunging at the runner to take him down by the feet when he was breaking outside. That play would have gone for some yards. Size, strength, speed and athleticism of Shaq on display there. He is going to be a stud. He is just not getting many opportunities right now.

Exactly. I found the win very impressive myself. On the road against a desperate team, and their defense played lights out in the second half to preserve a win, with their offense limping without Woods and McCoy. Gilislee did a fine job, but is not the same threat McCoy is. I thought the line performed admirably without Eric, especially in the run game. This is how late season games are won. Now if Woods is out long term, and Watkins cannot return, I would doubt their ability to complete a playoff run, but I am happy with this win.

I do not see anyone suggesting the offensive play calling was the only reason they lost. It was a factor when they were still on n it.

Those plays have a very poor probability of success to WRs that far down the depth chart. No timing and poor skills. Yes, take a shot here and there, but they tried it too many times with the game still in reach.

I totally agree with the OP. Very poor play calling all game I was ready to shoot myself after the halfback option. Way too many long ball shots to 5th and 6th string receivers I have no idea what they were thinking.

I would have loved it if they could have gotten a reasonable deal for Gilmore. He shows every sign of having checked out. F him.

If you are referring to my post, that is not at all what I meant. It was actually meant to support the idea that all the focus on Rex ruining the defense as evidenced by lack of sacks is bull. Sorry for the lack of clarity.

I guess that just goes to show you how relatively meaningless sacks are as a stat.

True enough. Not that anyone cares on witch hunt Tuesdays. For the record, 2 of their top 3 receivers were out on Sunday and the third was clearly hobbled. Number 4(Salas) is also on IR. The Bills were literally playing numbers 5 and 6 on the depth chart in key roles, and everyone is surprised the passing game does not look good. No teams go that deep and no QBs look good in that scenario.

This loss is not on Tyrod. Clearly on the D and some of the most unimaginative play calling I have seen. A Lynn got owned yesterday. So did Thurman if he was actually calling the defense.

Exactly. He threw his shoulder into Williams neck/ head. Should be suspended but will not be because NFL talk of player safety is just that - talk.

I really could not care less what happens to Tom Brady, now or in the future.

He has already lost this team if you watched them "play" Monday night. I guess he is not quite the coaching genius he has been made out to be.

No doubt they need to up their game for Brady. Who doesn't? But could it be that some of your quoted stat is due to the Bills defense actually being pretty good?

That has been the problem with Salas his whole career so far. Can't stay on the field. Too bad because he looks good when he plays and they could really use him.

I guess the question would be how much credit do the Patriots get for shutting out the Texans with the same line up the previous week? Follow up question - how much credit do the Texans get for dominating the weakest division in football? This is all BS.

You are clearly not paying attention.

Maybe that's it, but he is clearly playing better than he did at any time last year. I am not sure if it is a function of the scheme using him more, or renewed enthusiasm on his part, or both but he has been clocking people the past couple of weeks. Agreed. I was shocked they were called on it the first play. They may not have been if Hogan had not so obviously held.

An idiot is an idiot no matter where they are from. Two 30 year olds beating on a 55 year old over a football game. Good luck in prison tough guys.

I forgot Bradham was on the Bills immediately after last season. He had one good year out of four here. He was beyond terrible last year. He has always been a bit of knucklehead. No loss whatsoever.

Well, they took a shot to see if he hasd anything left. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. No big deal. If Karlos had not shown up grossly overweight and then been suspended, Bush probably would not have survived the final cut.

In an interview last week, Whaley said Lawson is on track to start practice with the team week 7 when he is first eligible.

I agree they will need some luck, but I don't think you are giving the Bills offense enough credit. Points will be tough to come by, but this game rests on the D. If they can get a strong performance from the D they can score enough points to win. And lluck will be a factor.

Are we still going to fire everybody when the Bills win? Will the level of hysteria and suicidal thoughts on TSW subside? Maybe for a week. Bills 20 Cheats 19
