So who are you cutting? I don't think we have an open roster slot so to bring up Sweeney, someone needs to be cut. You suggested benching Knox which I 'd be OK with but doubt they'd be willing to give up and cut him. I've suggested in another thread kicking him in the skins and then place him on IR, that could work.

Is love sweet lovin!!

Great they can all play Sunday!

Are you talking about football or life in general?? LOL No you don't get an early and late game on the network NOT showing the doubleheader game, which this week is CBS. Fox has two maps as this week they show two games. Next week CBS will have the doubleheader so they will have two maps. If you click on the link below, then go through each week, you'll see how they alternate though not always in exactly alternating fashion. Sometime the same network has two doubleheader weeks in a row. https://506sports.com/nfl/ Because you don't get a late game on the network not showing the doubleheader game unless you are in the home market of one of the two cities playing in that late game, i.e. Miami or Denver OR you live in the city of an early game on the network that has the doubleheader game i.e. Atlanta, Carolina, New Orleans, Detroit, Phi, & Cleveland.

Easier said than done. When your own offense keeps going 3 and out an sprinkle in an Int on top, you never get to rest. And yes Az offense also didn't get much rest, but it always affects the defense more as they are chasing. Throw in a guy like Murray really makes it tiring. That was why the K gun in the 90s worked so well as you'd have an exhausted defense. I'll add to your story: Patient; "Doc, I get really tired doing this" as this dog keeps chasing me Doc: "stop doing that".... Patient "then the dog will catch me" Moral of the story you can't stop doing something if you can't control it, i.e stopping the dog .... in this case can't control not getting any rest.

Read awhile back they may go to a system where they take what would be the likely 2022 "normal cap" assuming full fans in attendance next season, etc and then take the average of the two so that could bump the cap up to around $190 M it stated. If he's still under contract hard to bring him back a reasonable price as then you are only hurting yourself down the road. Can certainly see deals that can be broken with little cap hit happening, but not if the hit is $9 mil as someone stated. Having said all that can see next year being the Bills best window to win as schedule should be easier as will play both NFC and AFC south. Both those divisions have at most likely 2 strong teams and that's assuming Brady, Brees, and Rivers still are able to play at a high level. Likely also need to face Pitt and KC which won't be easy, but even there Big Ben could also be ready to fall apart.

With just under 10 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter, for roughly the next 22 minutes of the game, Az ran 27 plays to Buffalo's 14 plays. So that's how you get gassed. Actually Buffalo probably ran close to 20 plays if including all that were called back for penalties.

For years I always said I'd be willing to make a bet that "QB "X" will be a failure" and I'll bet the starting QB for all 32 teams as more fail than succeed so will end up ahead on the bet. Admittedly in recent years no so sure I'd take that bet anymore as there seems to be a resurgence in their overall play. My theory has always been that overall players have got too big, and too fast and with all the computer analysis the game to complicated for almost any QB to process everything fast enough to make the right decision. 10 years back there was maybe a handful who could; Brady, Manning, Brees, Rodgers. Now there seems to be more good young QB's why? Not sure, but maybe the limited practice time reduces the ability for defenses to get as complicated as they use to?? So makes the QB's look good??

As I said, thought they played well until mid way thru the 3rd quarter or so when the offense had believe it was 3 straight 3 and out drives, plus throw an int in there too. After that they were gassed. Thought I say half time stats where Az running backs had a bout 60 yards and Murrey 19 yards. I'll take that against the Az offense. Playing against Murrey is like trying to run on black ice. You have to move very slowly or else you miss and that makes it rather tough overall to stop the run particularly when gassed.

I gave up trying to read through an 8 page thread to see if this was mentioned, but in Fairburns column in the Athletic he commented: It also wouldn’t be a surprise if McDermott would rather insinuate Morse had been benched than delve into the concussion situation. McDermott routinely defers to the protocol and declines an answer whenever asked about a player who is dealing with a concussion. Sounds like this is McD's standard reply with anything related to concussions. Also in todays BN it mentioned: With Ford inactive because of an ankle injury, that left the Bills with just eight offensive linemen, including Morse. That would have meant if they had sat out Morse, they couldn't have activated anyone else as the new rule this year requires you to have a minimum of 8 O-lineman active. Let than that you lose the extra active spot. Guess figured dress him in an emergency he could play, but only in an emergency. Think this may have been the only game this season where no lineman got hurt?

Don't know any more. Don't disagree. This entire year has been like a lost year for him. Maybe he too sees thing slipping away so he's pressing? It's almost like they should just shut him down for the year, kick him in the shins and then place him on IR. But that's risky too as thin as we are at TE Another similar player who's slipping back some is Singletary though not certain if it's him or the blocking? I wonder if next game they should sit him and go with Yeldon? Maybe he too needs a wake up message?

If it were based on fan voting he'd have been long gone Wow, you are gutsy taking him. Unless you're in a huge league, can't believe there weren't better more reliable options left for kickers. When factoring in how many he has missed and that the Bills tend to do a pretty good job of scoring TD's rather than kicking, don't think I'd have chosen him. I'd imagine he gave you 25 plus points?

Not certain is it really him or is it the blocking just hasn't been very good? Moss has done better, but not great either. As far as I know there weren't any major injuries yesterday, so maybe the next game all five starters will actually play. Then the question will be for how long do all five last?

Defensively they played a pretty good game excluding one play, (can't recall which one it was). Think part of the issue in the 2nd half was the offensive either turned the ball over or punted consecutively on was it 4 series and the defense at that point was gassed. The drives with all the punts were the killers.

This is the one that really burns me, take the opposite; The defense goes Offside so the O-line ends up holding or the QB is now under duress so he intentional grounds. Could argue neither of those offensive penalties would have occurred if the defense wasn't Offside to start with. But it's off-setting. I'd argue enforce the first penalty but admittedly that is often hard to tell which one occurred first.

Cause they're too busy developing QB's into WR's LOL!

Knox has all the physical skills but with the WR core he played with in college, he just doesn't have nearly experience being a real contributor to the offense to make smart plays and know what to do often enough and play with discipline. In a way he's very similar to Josh Allen, tons of raw ability, but not enough experience to make smart plays. It's kind of like when I team is punting a deliberately takes a delay of game to give the punter more room. Sometimes though you see the defense decline the penalty. I've often thought why doesn't an offensive lineman just jump up out of stance and take a procedure penalty instead as that's then a dead ball penalty.

With 11 seconds left, not the play to do. They could have easily thrown a 25 yard completion underneath got out of bounds as you're basically giving up one defender, then an easier shot at a TD. If that had fallen incomplete and now only two seconds left, then yes put a tall receiver back there. But with Davis being a rookie and Knox having a more physical TE mentality and not a lot more experience, not sure I'd like either of those two back there either.

I just watched it frame by frame, Whites hand was between Hopkins, don't think Proyer knocked it out as much as the issue more was that White was falling down so his arm was falling away from between Hopkins arms. As Hopkins brought the ball down White's arm was no longer there and since he was falling away, had little leverage to knock it away. If White had gone up 1/4 second later may have made a big difference. Or better yet have a DB that's about 4 inches taller. Basically IMO Hopkins just out leaped the 3 Bills players. I think White tried to do that but as I said he was falling away so no leverage and as everyone came back down to earth the arm was gone.

No idea what song those words were from. Think there's only been about one week I actually knew what song the words were from that he posted. That was 2 weeks ago when he posted Revolution! Actually based on your post I Googled the words to see what it was from. I will say I'm not a Dead Head and it's one group I really never followed at all. LOL!

The problem with that is Davis is still a rookie so not sure I'd want to trust him that he doesn't get called for interference or something. Not certain I'd trust Knox there either as he's big, but use to more a TE role where you can knock people around some. The other issue I'd have with using an offensive player in that situation is that with 11 seconds it's not likely the last play so still have to worry about throwing a 25 yard pass completion and going out of bounds as likely could be a wide open receiver as you just basically gave up one player by putting him back there. If that had been an incompletion and now there's 2 seconds left, then I'd put him back there.

1 I'd imagine it wouldn't have been completed 49 out of 50 times. Do wonder how much Norman, Wallace, and then Jackson being out affected that play. May have been one of them would have been over there too, Seemed they were hurt by lack of height on that play. Often the defense will put there tallest guy out there, but with 11 seconds, it was still kind of too much time for that as may not have been the last play. 2 Agree Allen did struggle, could have had a couple more int's. Very lucky on that pass to Singletary too. 2 weeks in a row defense blitzed the hell out of us and Allen was running around like crazy. 3 I thought I was imagining things with the missing down and distance that I just wasn't looking in the right spot and it was really there. Maybe the best camera operators and producers were all in Augusta? 5 They have to figure out how to better run the ball. Maybe if Morse and Ford are both back, will get better there.

He's near sighted!

Last one was even down the center!!

I can remember that game how windy it was. Was a little surprised on the year though, as I thought it was later like around 1994 or so.
