I'm glad you brought up Singletary too because it'll be interesting to see how his post-Bills career plays out. It's hard to say what's going on in Houston. Their starter Dameon Pierce had an excellent rookie season last year averaging 4.3 ypc. This year Pierce is at 2.7 ypc so it's not only Singletary. I wonder how Moss would like running behind O'Cyrus Torrence and this offensive line.

This is the conversation IMO. Both were taken in the 2020 draft. Tua went 5th overall and Herbert 6th (Burrows went 1st). About a year ago it was very popular to state that Herbert was better than Tua and that the Dolphins erred. Now that belief isn't stated as much anymore. IMO QB is a neck up position and Tua is better from the neck up while Herbert's better from the neck down. In fairness Tua has the better weapons and the better coaching and I think most NFL GMs would still take Herbert over Tua...but I still believe Tua has the better mind for the game.

Also that Ravens injury report doesn't include their starting running back J.K. Dobbins who was injured in week one and is out for the rest of the season.

I feel like it would be a bad decision to argue with you about the weather. Yeah, those things run forever.

The Bills drafted running back Zack Moss in the 3rd round (86th overall) of the 2020 NFL Draft. At the time I liked the pick and thought of him as a good physical back. He flashed at times as a Bill but was mostly a disappointment partly because of his inability to stay healthy and partly because of his general ineffectiveness. He never seemed to resemble the player he was at Utah. Finally last Halloween we traded him to the Colts for fellow running back Nyheim Hines. Besides swapping him for Hines, we acquired two physical runners (Damien Harris and Latavius Murray) to provide that ruggedness that Moss was supposed to bring us. By the time he was shown the door he was pretty much a whipping boy for members of this forum. It hasn't been spoken of much around here but Moss has quietly resurrected his career. Here are his stat lines from his last 5 regular season games with Indy: Zack Moss last 5 Regular Season Games with the Colts Date ATT YDS YPC 12/17/22 24 81 3.38 12/26/22 12 65 5.42 1/1/23 15 74 4.93 1/8/23 18 114 6.33 9/17/23 18 88 4.89 AVERAGE 15.4 84.4 5.48 I'm curious if anyone here has any insights as to what has changed to make him a seemingly effective NFL running back. Health? Scheme? Also would you say his improvement has vindicated the Bills decision to draft him in the first place?

The reason AJ Klein has played 10 seasons in the NFL is because he's ultra-competitive... he was legendary at Iowa State for his competitive fire. I'd bet he has his eyes on Kirksey's team record of 21 days on the practice squad before retiring.

I think the miscalculation of his age had to do with an error in the "order of operations." Remember PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

Before 1992 when Enberg was staring at Trumpy's neck, he used to stare at Merlin Olsen's neck. Good times...

Wow... all these decades and I had never run across that convention. Gonna look into it a bit deeper. The range of tropical storms both geographically and calendar-wise has expanded. Recently California had its first tropical storm on record (causing flooding in SoCal). Also, Tornado Alley has grown both eastwards and northwards. I would guess that simply tweaking the algorithm isn't going to accomplish anything other than making the schedule maker's jobs more difficult. I wish he would stick to running the parking lot. That's a big enough job as it is.

It's hard to find a good comparable for Howell. Of course Brady was taken in the 6th as we all know... and Tony Romo was undrafted. Current Niners QB Brock Purdy was Mr. Irrelevant after being drafted 262nd and last in the 2022 draft. He and Howell have similar measurables.

Then I must have mixed him up with Jack Nicholson.

Apparently I woke up in the mood to sharpshoot the basic fundamental errors of "professionals." Not: WAS v BUF BAL v IND NYJ v NE But: BUF @ WAS IND @ BAL NE @ NYJ I guess writing isn't his forte?

That's so weird that Jack Nicklaus has two grandsons that played in the NFL.

21 months for me. "Do these white pants make my ass look fat?" Odell Hopkins!!! Hey Turk, boss says to get back to work. Now. He probably hasn't been living hand to mouth, paycheck to paycheck. At this point I would hold out hope that the Bills eventually sign Christian Kirk.

No. I'm pretty positive that Justin Herbert is the grandson of Jack Nicklaus. Or maybe it was Jack Nicholson.

For those who are unsure of this, it's true. Besides watching poker, Josh also said he deleted all the social media apps from his phone. Justin Herbert is actually related to the golfer Jack Nicklaus I believe. That's the one that jumped out at me. Jack Nicklaus. Also Harvard. So poorly written: "Matt Milano was the highest graded linebacker this past week against the Raiders!" No. It should be "Matt Milano was the highest graded linebacker in the NFL in week 3" BTW, some news stories are saying that this was Josh's 11th... one more than Jimbo but that contention is contradicted by this: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/potw_career.htm

I heard he asked for ranch dressing during his first visit to Bar-Bills.

I'm sincerely sorry if my "punishment" didn't fit your "crime." And I'd hate to think that I'm one of those posters that have a chilling effect on the conversations on this forum. I actually left here for numerous years because I didn't like the way I was acting. Apologies.

A bit off topic but I like Dorian Williams' actions on that play.

I hear Mike McDaniel only eats chicken. 😜

Unfortunately, wearing certain uniforms these days seems to give some people license to attack you, even though they have zero idea of the type of person you are. It's a sad world that consists of so many people who make snap judgements about others based solely on a person's appearance.

@Doc Brown asked if I thought it was a dirty hit. It was not the most egregious hit on a defenseless receiver that we've seen but it was a foul IMO. Is it fair to wonder why Adams was still in the game at that point? Yes. Who should be blamed for Adams still being in the game... Adams or his Head Coach? I'm blaming the guy in charge of which star players are on the field late in a blowout game. The comments about Adams "padding his stats" are silly. IMO Does Adams himself have an exemplary track record? No. Is that relevant to him being fouled? No. Is Adams' criticism of Rapp fair and well-stated? No... he's angry and bitter and some of his comments are personal attacks. Do I understand Adams' anger? Yes. I understand any defenseless receiver being angry about being fouled. Is Rapp a dirty player? I don't think so but he's been flagged for plays like this before.

No I do't understand your nonsensical point and I'm not the only one. I'm actually the 3rd person wondering WTF you're talking about. Instead of "disparaging my post" why don't you try to explain why you think a hypothetical scenario involving Damar Hamlin and his "endorsements" is relevant to this discussion... asking for the second time.

While completion percentage and accuracy are not the same thing, please name me the players you think are the most accurate throwers in NFL history and then show me their completion percentages relative to their peers... You don't actually have to do this of course... my point is that you are overstating your argument.
