He has 4 fumbles on 248 touches this season. That’s 1.6 percent, which is NOT good. In comparison, Latavius Murray has 4 fumbles in his last 1,164 touches for a 0.34 percent fumble rate.

Good post, but I qualify it by saying the Bills effectively had four turnovers. The series with the tripping, holding, and false start penalties plus the deep sack (resulting in 4th and forever) ended up giving the Chargers a much shorter field than expected and they cashed in with a FG.

Just saying that to my wife!

Probably because he quickly figured (or had it figured out for him) that the coaching grind wasn’t his thing. 500-750-word Wikipedia entries as a rule don’t include every life detail, particularly short-lived, failed/quickly abandoned attempts at a new gig. I 100 percent trust the person who told me this.

Huh?? What’s your deal, man? Also, in his rookie season, Peters was the farthest thing from a starter. He was a UDFA on the roster bubble.

Not calling you out! Just alerting you to the info because I thought you might be interested.

Based on the source I got it from, I'm quite certain that it's the truth (that Brown was the former player, that is). LOL all you want.

The Bengals have lost 7 of their last 8 games vs the Browns, and many of the losses have been absolute blowouts. They lost 24-3 earlier this year.

It has come to my attention that Lomas Brown was a Bills coaching intern (unlisted) that year under Mouse McNally. Brown played for McNally for two years with the Giants in the late 1990s near the end of his career, and was under his supervision as intern. He played o-line for 18 years, so that solves the riddle! https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BrowLo00.htm (also, @Just Jack).

I get that, but it was a key play. I remember it VIVIDLY.

We lost because Josh Reed got called for a very shaky OPI right when the Bills were on the verge of going up 24-16. Ryan Lindell then missed a 28 yard FG. 3:03 mark of the third quarter: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200501020buf.htm. A TD there and they win the game.

I look forward to how this debate is going to go. Good luck.

https://theathletic.com/5132569/2023/12/18/jason-peters-nfl-career-seahawks-eagles-bills/ He still remembers what an assistant coach told him his rookie year in Buffalo, and how much it pissed him off. It’s been so long, Peters can’t even remember the coach’s name. He was sitting in a meeting, getting ripped after a lousy day of practice, just trying to keep his job for another week. “You’ll never play as long as I played!” the coach screamed. Peters stored those words away, never letting them leave his mind. The coach had played forever — something like 17 or 18 years in the league, Peters remembers — and he knew the odds were against anyone in that room lasting half that long. “The average NFL career is three seasons,” Peters says. “That’s it. Three seasons and you’re done.” ( @BADOLBILZ )

Maybe this is what your wife did? https://www.dvdfab.cn/resource/video/amazon-peacock

I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. In the end, it'll be my choice. It's not as if I'm not paying for Prime already and a host of other subscriptions. People who get cable are already paying a lot via subscriptions. I guess I don't view any of these services as qualitatively different. From the Internet: "Does Peacock come free with Amazon Prime? Peacock is not free with Amazon Prime. Not only that, but you cannot stream Peacock through Prime like you can with Max, AMC+ and many other streaming services." https://www.themanual.com/culture/peacock-tv-free-trial/#:~:text=Get Peacock-,Is Peacock free with Amazon Prime%3F,and many other streaming services.

I registered for one month and will dump it after the game. It's $5.99, which is a price I'm willing to pay to watch a Bills game. It's a small pittance and hardly worth getting up in arms about.

He has 4 picks on the year, which is a lot for a LB. Maybe he’s not having a terrible season after all?🤔

I REALLY wanted the Bills to get Addison. I know they wanted him. Sigh.

Not so sad. He's had a terrific 11-year career and will be 33 in a couple of weeks. He's been an all-pro twice (both times for the Bills) along the way. He did very, very well in the NFL, and it's probably time to move onto the next stage of his life.

Or the Bills could sign him and have Josh Allen throw hail marys all game long.

One person got injured midway through the season and would have had to shut it all down for the rest of the year if he had surgery. Another person got hurt much earlier in the year. They are not the same.

In the surgery rooms immediately after the season. Hogan took a ton of heat from fans in 2015 for an atypically high number of drops but his injury was hidden until after the season. I'm not actually sure what you're point is; this is pretty well known.

Hogan was never on an injury report. Jerry Hughes was never on an injury report when he was playing with a significant wrist injury. Teams do this ALL THE TIME.

It would seem to me that teams advise players to not speak about injuries to protect them from targeting. Lest we forget, immediately after the 2015 season Robert Woods had surgery for a torn groin which he had been playing for a while (and which had never been reported as such; it was a "leg-probable" situation for the second half of the season) and Chris Hogan had surgery for torn ligaments in his wrist that was never reported at all. Think about this year: we had no idea about the extent of Dawson Knox's injury (and we blamed him for bad hands) when in fact he was playing with torn ligaments in his wrist. Both teams and players don't let this stuff out, and it's not for "toughness" reasons; it's to hide useful information from opponents. It's usually actually the opposite, and you're wrong. We tend to find out later that players played through injuries that were a lot worse than the injury reports indicated.

He has 595 yards, which is 39th. He’s a middle-of-the-pack No. 2 wideout. He was a good draft pick. He’s not someone who should get a second contract and a big pay raise from general manager Brandon Beane when his contract runs out after this season. (It’s not happening.)”
