Matt in KC

That was a very nice article. I am glad he indicated what happened with Whaley. In my mind, that was him saying "water under the bridge" and showing he understood how the business side worked. It also highlights Fred's determination. Part of me thinks he could have willed himself to play through a hamstring injury and make the team, if that is what it would have taken.

He could be a healthy scratch. That has nothing to do with the injury report.

QB controversy in Indi??

Right. An insightful poster on here (I can't remember his name; something like Crayon Box?) posted an analysis a couple years ago showing how it actually helps the Bills get in the playoffs to lose to NFC opponents.

Bills 22 Titans 20

I think that means he isn't rushing back.

In my opinion, the defense is trying to be too clever. Our front 4 can beat the opponent if they just line up and blast at the snap. This year, on a very high percentage of snaps it looks like the defense isn't completely set, like they are disguising what they are doing at the expense of being ready to explode at the snap.

Carpenter has missed a total of two FGs this season, one of which was 54 yards in a blowout win (against the Dolphins). He is a bit hurt, and has a young baby in the house. The Bills needs to support him and stick by him, unless the wheels completely come off. I think he will be fine in the long run.

So, it sounds like Arian Foster is playing and Lynch might actually sit out. Who do you think will post better numbers this week, Foster, or Thomas Rawls? I could see either of them getting just a partial workload....

I know. all the FF advice I have seen says to play him. I just feel like Joe Haden is going to shut him down. Haden was hurt and the Browns gave up a ton of yards in last week's game. He sounds healthy and determined going into this week's game against the Chargers where Allen is the clear #1 WR. And it looks like 3 of the Chargers' starting O-line will be out....

Pass to Woods across the middle for 7 yards

I am on the fence. I have a number of midling WRs: Maclin Harvin Pierre Garcon Keenan Allen Golden Tate I am starting Clay at TE, K Williams, and Bills defense, so that is keeping me from starting Harvin. Right now I am leaning toward starting Maclin and Garcon. The league is .5 PPR. Everyone has Keenan Allen ranked higher, but I just don't see him putting up good numbers against Joe Haden this week.

I am playing Murray. The aggregate ranking site I consult has him listed as the #6 RB this week against a weak Bears team. http://www.fantasypros.com/nfl/rankings/rb.php

I would choose Clay. Especially with Sammy questionable, he should be a focus. I would have said the same. I assume you played Bell?

In a survivor league, I'm not sure that helps you. . . .

Pick made. Thanks for the heads up. I is nice to be alive again.

I love these posts. Thank you so much for taking the time!

I think it makes more sense that you cannot fumble forward. So a fumble is always spotted where the last team to control it had possession, at best. Fumble at the 3 yard line into the end zone --> spot at the 3 Fumble at the 3 yard line out of bounds at the 5 --> spot at the 5 Fumble at the 3 yard line and defense recovers in the end zone --> spot at the 20 (touchback)

Thanks for those details!

I sure as hell hope so.

Do be fair, they did pay a large fine and lose a first round draft pick. Brady did not get suspended or fined. I am shocked McNally was allowed to be hired again.

Taylor incomplete short pass down the middle to Robert Woods ~6 yards downfield. 14 first downs

I don't like the guy, but love the player. He has been huge upgrade for us. I would love to see them tack on another 2 years to his contract.
