  1. Do wonder if a big part of their overall problem on the line is not enough continuity. Morse basically missed all of camp and Ford was constantly flipped back and forth between guard and tackle. Jose was moved between guard and center. The left side was the same all camp and they aren't looking to great either, but some might be to churn around them.
  2. The way we were punting int's on deep balls may have given us better field position! After yesterdays game wonder if they are trying out punters as we speak. Last two weeks Bojo's regressed. I think the sacks also hurt alot as one time took us out of field goal range and other time on the miss made it 5 yards longer. On the other hand if we had made both of those field goals, likely would have also kicked the one where we went for it on 4th down, plus on next to last drive would have kicked. Belichick is known to do something to confuse the opposing offense, make me wonder if there was something he kept doing to confuse Allen to make him think he had the long ball wide open. The question to me does Allen finally learn from this and realize what worked in Wyoming isn't going to work here. He is still young, only played 2 years of college and not at the highest level competition wise, and he can certainly make the throws that very few others can. Overall too the team is still weak offensively both at WR and O-line, think the interior of the line os good assuming they do move Ford in there, but at least one of not two tackle positions are shaky. Could also use either a true #1 WR from the draft or sign another strong #2 like Brown.
  3. I think that was the problem, Wallace instinctively tried to avoid him and by doing so there was no contact. Hard to call a penalty when no contact. If he had tripped completely over him, likely would have got the call.
  4. Bills fans are fine, but just try and be objective for once. But then again fan is short for fanatic so I guess it's to be expected.
  5. Except it's Zay every week.
  6. LOL Sounds identical to you except you're a Bills apoligist. I get it people are upset, but to claim this was intentional is just plain stupid as you or no one else has any idea. As was pointed out, Allen lowered his head too.
  7. You make a lot of sense for being Dopey!
  8. I mean did Zay even play in the pre-season. As little as any of the starters played, don't recall seeing him much which don't mean that in a negative way as hardly any starters play in the pre-season anymore league wide. As far as Duke outplaying him, most of Dukes playing time was against other players who also aren't even on an NFL roster today either. I do agree with the thread though, the biggest issue seems to be line play, don't worry about the WR
  9. If you want to make a trade, trade for Trent Williams as IMO the O-line is the bigger issue, though don't want to give up the farm for him either. Maybe the issue with the line is lack of playing together in the pre-season and will get better, but right now not sure they look much better than last year, at least wrt to pass blocking.
  10. Spencer Long is hurt?? Missed that one?
  11. Totally disagree for exact reasons you mention. I like that you're giving a big reward to the teams that actually played the best all season. I prefer seeing the best two teams meeting in the conference championship games and the Super Bowl instead of some years having the 8th seed playing the 6th seed in the SB. There's talk of college football expanding their playoffs, and most often you hear 8 teams. If I were in charge I'd go to 6 teams and again award byes to the top two for the same reasons. Let the best teams meet for the championship.
  12. Yes but you need players that buy into what is going on around him. And from some comments made sounds like that wasn't in the cards with McCoy.
  13. I'd go with stopping Allen from extending plays
  14. I actually think there is some truth to that in that the offense is still somewhat shaky so feel like OK we hve the lead, lets not do anything stupid to let them back in the game. But by becoming too conservative the other team and mistakes have allowed the other team to get back in it. I do think they know this wek will require 60 minutes of pedal to the metal all game.
  15. Wouldn't be surprised if during practice he's also booming them and that's why they have stuck with him longer as they know he has it in him, but on game days is inconsistent. At some point though either they will need to see improvement during games or they may look elsewhere. The other thing in his favor may be there aren't any better options, but again if keeps punting bad, the other bad options may become better ones.
  16. I don't know if I were going to give away the farm, think I may prefer goign for the OT from Washington, or someone similar and maybe only need to sell the north 40.
  17. Maybe they'll trade for a better WR, but would be less surprised if the plan isn't to draft a true #1 one next year. Cole and Beasley all of a sudden will look much stronger. Or maybe Foster does improve once his foot injury is over enough that him plus Brown and Beasley, plus sign another FA of caliper of another Brown type. More than likely see the off season needs both thru FA and draft of WR, LB, & OT being the top needs.
  18. What I just have to shake my head at, from what was written before this woman filed the suit against him, they were working on getting signed a confidential agreement which would have paid her an undisclosed amount of cash in turn for her forgetting this ever happened. But AB said no at the 11th hour so she sued. Seems like another example of him just thinking he's bigger than everyone else, he doesn't need to sign this and everything will be fine. How many millions is he costing himself. Agents get paid is it 10% of the contract, seems Drew is working overtime for little return on the $$. Wonder next if he'll be dropping him.
  19. I fixed it for you. He played 46 of 48 games before breaking his foot last year, far cry from a player with an injury history.
  20. Actually initially it was Amtrak, then switched to the cruiser. Pluse with all the expansion, likely many of the southern cities weren't even served by Amtrak.
  21. Same story here too the first week. Only afterwards someone here mentioned that it was still working. Maybe for whatever reason CFB didn't come back, but admittedly kind of strange.
  22. Was working this Sunday, that's a fact. Can tell you I also had heard Reddit wasn't working prior to the season starting, that it was shut down. First week of season my "friend" used Sportssurge, but afterwards did notice Reddit had all the usual links. This past week, worked like it always did. Would say links seemed to not work as well as past years with regards to stopping and having to re-start, but it is working. Sportsurge also didn't work very well week 2 either realistically they were both about the same, neither was great.
  23. Not true at all. Still works as always. Well at least that's what a friend of a friend told me. Also did confirm this Sportsurge works too.
  24. Verizon will only give you the games shown on your local stations, so little help there. But re--read what was posted above for some good solutions.
  25. That was the 2nd game he only ever played, wasn't a great ball so no. Recall reading in Jay S column according to Football analytics or whatever they call themselves, he only had 3 drops last year so question how bad his hands really are compared to what fans seem to think. More than anything he's just become fans #1 whipping boy
