Where in there is he claiming he would go back? Literally all he said is, "we'll see". And you're literally making my point for me. If his plans were simply to make it appear he's thinking about leaving to drive up the price for LA, social media posts like that and visiting other teams is exactly what you would do to sell it. And you still never explained where the Giants are going to get this good QB from.

If the Giants keep winning, they aren't going to be in a position to get a good QB and to assume whomever they plug in at QB is going to drastically improve them is pure speculation. Good QBs in this league do not grow on trees...something a Bills fan of all people, should understand. If anything, he's simply making it look like he having thoughts of leaving just to try and drive up the price for LA. To sell that, he'd have to go visit other teams, even if he never had any intention of signing with them.

First off, he's not the starter, so if nobody in the league is afraid of our running game, take it up with Singletary, the O-line, and McD. Second, he's had a grand total of 13 carries this season, 11 of which came against Tennessee in garbage time after the game was already decided. So, you are literally basing your opinion of him on two, count them, TWO carries. Get a grip. Do people even realize that he's only had 13 carries all season and of those, 11 came in the Tennessee game basically in garbage time? So essentially TWO carries is what these people are basing their opinion on. To me, it sounds like a bunch of people piling on what first started as someone that had no clue what they were talking about said.

And that change in QB is going to be....??? If he actually cared about a huge market, he'd simply stay in LA.

The Giants lead the league in rushing and are 31st in the league in passing. I would have no idea why he would ever want to go back to the Giants.

Even with the zone scheme though, you have a OL that gets a push up front and you have a back that's very quickly hitting one of those gaps because the zone schemes aren't designed to have big holes opened for what it a relatively longer period of time in a gap scheme. It seems as though it takes our running plays a long time to develop and there's just not anything there for the rb. Under previous regimes where we were able to run, you see the backs hitting the hole and getting through it into the next level of the defense very quickly. Just doesn't seem to be the case under current leadership.

I guess they thought bringing Kromer back was the key to opening up the running game this season. They had a lot of people convinced this season was going to be different than the past several season's struggles. Seems like just more of the same at this point. It will always be difficult for any team that doesn't at least have the threat of a running game to go far in this league. Yes, we have JA17, but a competent running game would not only take pressure off of him, but it would also open up his throwing lanes and create more opportunities for our receivers to get open.

So, at what point are you McD here and finally come to the realization that what they're currently doing is just not going to cut it? Is it something he would be scared to do midseason because of all the potential ramifications? Do you think he thinks it's just a matter of time before this OL gels and believes it will come together? Or is McD just stubborn and will not change his ways no matter if it's abundantly clear the current gameplan isn't working?

They did it for the 1st down that led to the FG for the win in Bal, so I don't know why they don't. Josh is a big, tall guy. I don't know why they don't think he can pick up a yard in goal line situations. Run it back to back to back plays if you have to. Stopping that play from getting a yard multiple times is a tall order for any defense.

What? Von is what's considered an EDGE rusher in today's terminology. Lawrence Taylor was technically an OLB, but was usually used to rush the QB in a 4-3 scheme. According to your logic, LT was a DE.

Tre's strength is being a shutdown corner. Who he's covering is going to be blanketed with very few windows for the QB to get the ball to that receiver or that part of the field. Safety is nothing like that. There's much more reading of the QB, being the coverage over the top of plays to discourage and prevent the deep balls, and to be able to act in an instant for run support on a handoff up the middle or off tackle. Completely different skill sets and Tre is undoubtedly a guy with the skillsets of a shutdown corner, not a safety.

I don't know if Lamar gets that kind of money if Baltimore keeps folding in the second half of games. Teams are clearly making adjustments at halftime and Lamar's second half against the Dolphins and Bills were nothing like the first half. I think he had 36 yds and 2 picks in the second half against the Bills.

It won't. It's a knee jerk reaction that doesn't take into account the OL not doing a great job getting any type of push or opening any holes. Expecting to be able to bring in a back that can simply turn plays stopped for little to no gain into good, positive yardage with any type of consistency is wishful thinking. Singletary and Moss are obviously not new to this team, yet there seemed to be this expectation that the running game would be much improved this year. I'm going to assume much of those expectations came from the new OL coaching, which is weird. It's that OL that is probably the biggest factor in the equation here, but now we think getting a new RB will solve the problem.

If motor should unfortunately get bit by the injury bug like so many have, it's going to be hilarious watching you be forced to endure our Rookie actually getting reps. You act like you're the only one that has any football background. Having the same background, I can tell you, and you should already know, that is not always true. And practices in the NFL during the season usually have little to nothing to do with the depth chart. It's usually to polish execution of plays.

What exactly are we combining or "conflating" here? We're talking about our running game and our running backs are already part of the conversation because they are quite literally what makes up our running game.

He's not conflating anything. We have running back by committee. Discussing the contributions, or lack thereof of Moss, is a perfectly legitimate observation when the overarching theme here is playing time and the lack of playing time that our Rookie is getting. If the goal here was to ensure the Bills are never able to develop a rookie RB, your thought process will definitely make sure that goal is achieved.

Are you at practice? Did McD tell you this? If not, that's pure speculation. It's not self-evident at all. You can speculate and claim correlation implies causation, but in the end, you're still left with nothing but speculation. Unless you somehow happen to be on the ins with McD and he's personally told you the reason Cook doesn't get more reps is because he doesn't trust him, you're guessing. Period.

You're not at practice either and since other players and the coaching staff have literally been singing this guy's praises since training camp, I really don't know what your point is here.

That's not how it works. Rookies are the ones who are learning and are expected to make mistakes. Vets don't get a pass just because they're vets. And considering Singletary is a vet of what has been a mediocre running game at best, I'm not sure why it is you think Singletary gets a pass. He certainly has no history that makes him untouchable or should make him immune to scrutiny when he puts the ball on the ground, which leads to points for the other team.

Why? So Duke can get 1 touch a game just like Cook?

OK, it led to points for the other team.

The only ill iniformed take is yours considering I actually took the time to look it up. The temp was within 1 degree of last year, It was 89 degrees air temp this year, 88 last year with the exact same dewpoint (humidity). You're here calling someone else ill informed when I'm the one who researched it, not you. And it's still a lousy, pathetic excuse for losing EITHER WAY. Your offense is on the field for 90 plays and almost the equivalent of 3 entire quarters. They got tired playing that much in hot temps. Imagine that.

Perfect time to give Cook some real playing time so we can actually get a good look instead of people calling him a bust based on the one target he gets in game.

The amount of dropped passes yesterday and you single him out. Amazing. Refresh my memory...was it Cook's drop or Singletary's fumble that directly led to 7 pts for Baltimore?

Welp, might as well move Cook to the WR depth chart since they don't want to use him at RB.
