Not sure. Is it possibly National Domestic Violence Week?

Wouldn't we be called for too many men? I realize New England cheats but I don't think that's a good reason for us to. Just saying...

I'm not talking about having money. I'm talking about being an attractive destination to quality players. Star, Vontae Davis, and Trent Murphy signed with a 9-7 team which backed into the playoffs. This is the best a team can get when they're not an attractive destination. It was only after Josh showed he was an up and coming star that the Bills could attract a higher level of player such as Stefon Diggs, Von Miller, John Brown, Cole Beasley, and Mitch Morse. These players would have had little to no interest in playing for Buffalo were it not for Josh Allen. JMO.

@Heavy Kevi, You weren't even close! Just to put it in perspective I said Kincaid would have 90 receptions this year and it looks like he'll end up with about 70. This means I'm off by a factor of 1.28. You guessed that Collins was 600 and he's only 30... you're off by a factor of 20. How is anyone supposed to give any credence to anything you say ever again? I think you just set a TSW record for wrongness!!!

In fairness to Beane, no one wanted to play for the Buffalo Bills in 2017. However by 2022, tons of players wanted to be on the same team as Josh Allen.

Actually just one memory but what a memory... bombing Pearl Harbor! No evidence, no but it was weird when he started tweeting about Rae Carruth.

To the bolded, in 5 games this year Flacco has thrown 8 INTs and has fumbled 4 times. In 5 games.

I believe Shakir also returned punts during the preseason.

3) Very good O-Line Coach in Aaron Kromer 4) Elite Quarterback in Josh Allen. Arguably the most difficult QB in the NFL to sack.

Exactly. Don't you think the fact they see him in practice should give them the benefit of the doubt? The bolded is a point I made upthread. The biggest hurdle for Von Miller is mental and there's no telling when he might cross that threshold of confidence. I don't think that practice reps are going to get Miller back to where we all want him to be and obviously the Bills feel the same way. I think fans second-guessing the Bills recovery plan for Miller is silly.

To the semanticists in the room, please note the true statement below...

True but AJ still has to work on his gap integrity and rush lane awareness.

I'd like to see the people of St. Louis made whole. They got screwed and that city should have a team. Cali fans are not as rabid as East Coast or Midwest fans but NorCal fans are considerably more rabid than SoCal fans. For better or worse, "deserving" has only to do with the degree to which a community is willing to force their politicians to build new multi-billion dollar venues. Dodgers fans are notorious for arriving late and leaving early.

Spencer Brown has improved this season but I'm always concerned that he's gonna give up the big play at the worst time possible. We're very lucky that Josh is the league's best at avoiding sacks... it often seems like he sees the problem rusher, pre-snap.

Hamlin started 13 games last year due to missed games from Hyde (15) and Poyer (2). Hamlin has started 0 games this year in spite of missed games from Hyde (3) and Poyer (1). Unlike last year, Hamlin is not the top reserve safety. His role on the team has been deeply reduced.

For those wondering (it hasn't yet been mentioned) most of the books have the Bills as a 13 point favorite.

The award is voted on by sports writers... it's not awarded by the NFL. To the bolded, not even. in 2022 he had a total of 922 snaps. This year he's had a total of 111 snaps. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/H/HamlDa00.htm

I totally agree with your opinion... I don't think he deserves the award but my blood pressure won't spike if he does.

The reason Fournette played is because Ty Johnson was medically unable to play. I don't buy your theory though I think Fournette played well enough to be considered for more playing time. I would be surprised but not shocked if Fournette displaced Murray on game days. Murray is the leader in the RB Room and a respected veteran but I believe that because he's a team player he would step aside without causing a disruption. Is this a guessing game?

So you click on a topic about him and post about him. Maybe next tine ignore the topic? Regardless of how you feel, this is actually an interesting conversation to many. Any particular individual come to mind? That is unclear... see below. Re your bolded ("to return to remarkable performance"), the Wiki entry includes that language but when you click on the footnote link in their bibliography that bolded language doesn't exist (here are the two links to compare): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Football_League_Comeback_Player_of_the_Year_Award https://web.archive.org/web/20100113081439/http://www.football-almanac.com/awards/NFL_Comeback_Player_of_the_Year_Award.shtml Adding to the confusion is that the award is given out by both the AP and the PFWA. The AP started voting on the award in 1963 but didn't vote on the award from 1967 to 1997 whereas the PFWA has voted on the award every year since 1972. This raises the questions, which one is "the official award" and what is the official criteria?

Yes last year had lots of abnormal stuff happen too but somehow the Bills were able to keep up their winning ways until the Cinci game. I've thought this for awhile now... not to jinx it but it's felt at times like the Bills are a team of destiny.

The true path is in the middle. He'll never recover his form unless he gets an appreciable amount of game snaps. Everyone's dogging Von now and based on his play, justifiably. But I'm hoping he regains the confidence to push his body to the limits soon. I believe most of what's holding him back is mental. Marshall law in combination with corporal punishment! And a big reason it was a nail biter is because Josh was not sharp. Brady wisely recognized the need to alleviate pressure from Josh... not compound it.

Imagine DQ and Linval Joseph together in short yardage and goal line situations.

No doubt his benching is 90% financial but also, the times I watched Russ he looked like crap and that's the other part of the story. The only time I saw him where he looked good was in the 4th quarter of the New England game. His numbers are misleading at best... he never passed the eyeball test. Russ has some nice skill position guys that he wasn't able to utilize... Javonte Williams, Samaje Perine, and Jaleel McLaughlin are talented backs and Sutton, Jeudy, and Mims are talented receivers. He never established a rapport with any of these guys. Had Russ been able to assimilate into the Payton system and lead the team to the playoffs, I don't think it's a certainty that he'd be getting jettisoned. Yes he's overpaid but that's because his performance hasn't come close to his compensation. Finally Payton inherited Russ... it was clear from his early season statements that he wasn't a big fan and I thought from the start that this relationship wouldn't work out. I actually expected to see Stidham earlier than week 16. JMO.

You compared Russ Wilson to Patrick Mahomes but some one else comparing Russell Wilson to Geno Smith is bizarre?
