I wonder if they'd try and make some type of trade Byrd for a good quality guard. The Bill's don't have much leverage, so anyone who thinks the Bill's should be returned an all pro guard since Byrd is all-pro are mistaken. Once Oct 18th hit,s can't trade him Bill's only choice then is watch him walk or franchise him for 125% of top salary which don't think he's worth anywhere near that. He's not Ronny Lott!

It may be the coaching staffs thoughts here are that yes it's hurting him now, but once he settles down, may take all year, having run the hurry up he'd be ahead in the long run. Though could argue let him run this year at a normal pace, in the off season instill the hurry up for next year once EJ has more experience.

Wow Giants coach, Tom C has to be going nuts, six sacks by Carolina on Eli a;ready, Giants intercept down on the Carolina 20, 1st down Wilson runs it in for TD, but called back for a penalty, second down another sack, kick a field goal from 20 and kicker misses.

Exactly, there's been one sack, how bad is Brown really doing?? No team can afford five all pro's, one weak player you can get away with. Guy I'm playing in a fantasy league has Eli, wish we had minus points for sacks right now!

Down here in Carolina, watching the Panthers Giants game, Giants are making the Bill's line look like a Super Bowl team, Eli has already been sacked three times in the first eight minutes or so.

I had seen part of that article where he thanked everyone, but not the whole thing including the part about not traveling. Well at least we know the status. Thanksfor posting

So EJ has been sacked once in two games, CJ ran for 100 yards this week and Freddy ran well in both games. Somehow hard to believe the line struggled. Would they have been better with AL, sure, but no team can or has 5 top notch lineman on their team. You can get by with one or even two not so great if you have others around him that are above average. I think between Woods, Glenn who are both maybe in the top 20% and Ubrick maybe top 50%, you can afford to have a weak spot. Yes that was the going price, assuming he was willing to sign here. As was pointed out, he made it known he wanted to test the waters. How do you know the Bill's didn't make an offer like this BTW? I know it wasn't posted here so then it couldn't have happened.

So then it was the correct call based on 4.1.c

I've seen it done before, not alot, but some. How do you know he didn't know the rule? They may have still been willing to take a chance on one last play, though admittedly I would have rather seen more of a pooch kick over the first line of players, so if the ball were downed, would be too far for a hale Mary to reach the endzone.

I recall hearing about ten years or so that once a play is completed it takes 16 seconds to get to the line, get set and run another play. Likely that is influenced by length of play too. Even spiking the ball takes at least one additional second, so would have been close, at best there may have been time for one play. Thinking about it some more, I'd give a 50/50 shot that SJ would have done a first down celebration that wasted at least five seconds.

I get what you're saying, agree wit hthe concept though not sure I'd put Easley in there. He's looked very good at LIMITED times, but has missed two years due to injury. Whereas don't recall Beebe ever having a wow moment, so I do agree with you there about I too never saw the greatness in Beebe. Actually the guy on the current Bill's I'd compare to Beeebe is TJ, alot of speed, but not sure of the football instincts.

Seems I recall a couple months back or so that RW was planning on attending the opener. Was wondering if he was there, or at yesterdays game, never heard any mention of it either way??

Maybe Simon the OP??

I don't know most of the coordinators who get HC gigs are on teams that a very good. Unless the Bill's go on to win 11 or 12 games, not sure how much viability he will truly get. Granted he's a little bit different than say a Gregg Williams as he already has a rep from his time with Jet's. I will grant you, that's the one team I could see hiring him, but beyond that I'm not sure how much notice he'll truey get.

#3 I'll be surprised if we see Woods on ST much longer. As has been mentioned in other threads, give Woods tweo years at most, he's be a true #1, which is fine as having Stevie as a #2 would be stronger than most teams #8 I think the problem is the TV crews aren't use to the speed the Bill's a running plays and are too busy showing replays or showing hot women i nthe stands to be ready for the next play. I noticed the same thing in a coupel of the pre-season games too. #13 Agree Kiko is looking good.

Actually that was the one thing that scared me. Granted with 1:30 you can take a chance with more underneath stuff but I was screaming at the TV, to throw it down the field a little further, maybe 15 to 20 yards or so.

But that's part of the problem, the ref can't look at a tape and decide if it was pre or post kick. Was very close, likely he first engaged the offensive lineman prior to kicking but then by the time he threw him to the ground was post kick. But since he first contacted him before the kick was probably the correct call. In normal plays the rule makes sense to prevent a defensive lineman from dragging the o-lineman to the ground and have someone else run through the hole. I've see the call made a couple of times on punts, but not very often. Also see nit called on a loose ball where a lineman holds onto another player to prevent tnat player from recovering the loose ball.

Having trouble using my left/right/up/down buttons on the ST mix channel 702, they don't work at all, when I go to 702, the "active" channel doesn't highlight either which is the really the casue of why the arrow buttons aren't working. I recall having this same problem last year too and someone gave me a tip how to get the mix channel working properly. Any suggestions??

To bad NFC east isn't playing AFC east, would like to see how BB matches up against him, give him a few weeks of tape to watch, see what he does.

I heard them state 12 men on the field, maybe it was ref making announcement over his mic, but heard it from someone. 12 men on field

I think I'd question the spelling on that one. I'm not sure how a torn labia would effect throwing?? http://www.healthboards.com/boards/sexual-health-women/909147-painfully-visibly-torn-labia.html

Same thing, the OP stated he's be a free agent after 2015 season which is in 2016. Only questions is about the player option after 2014 season, which could make him a free agent March 2015

What really gets me about the 1st down chains is they bring the chains out and measure within +/- one link whether they got the first down or not. Mean while when they first set the sticks on 1st down, how do they know they weren't six inches off to start with. Why worry about an inch at the end when you have no idea where you started from. They may have only gone 9 1/2 yards to get the first, so why worry about an inch now. As for QB robots, think Stepford wives! I've been promoting that for years!

Not sure I'd call paying 125% next season using every word to their advantage?? I don't have time or energy to fully research this, but I'm sure there are alot more of these situations going on with other teams as well but you don't follow it as much. Teams that keep losing you see it happen on more. Start winning and likely the number of players wanting out the door will decrease. And the other thing to do is stop signing players that are represented by Parker. I do think at some point, that may become a league wide trend as his tactics will grow old league wide.

CBS is broadcasting tennis at 4:00 so they don't want any late games this week. If you have two sites that you're confident will sell out, so no blackouts, two is plenty. Granted nicer for ST folks to have more choices, but recall other weeks were like that too.
