You would think "games started" might well be one of the bases of Cassel's conditional salary bonus. . . .
-
Yes, he played. Later in the game, the Colts were trying to block punts, so he was pulled in the from the gunner position to block his man on the right side of the line. He was there.
Thanks. I watching the game with my daughter (distracted) and only looked for him a couple times, and was surprised I didn't see him. At the end of last year, Easley was so consistenly there applying pressure or making the tackle on kick coverages it was strange to not see him at all.
-
Did Easley play? I didn't see him listed with the inactives, but I didn't see him on a single kick coverage either. When they showed the right (near) side of the Bills from the sideline at the kick-off we wasn't there. Robey was in the outside gunner position.
Sorry of this is misplaced. I was not going to start a "Did Marcus Easley Play?" thread!

Very sad indeed.
Do you think they should have a moment of silence before the game?

Finalized 2015 Buffalo Bills Practice Squad
RYAN TALBOT
Sunday at 2:35 PM
Keep up to date on who the Bills sign to their practice squad!
The Buffalo Bills are starting to assemble their practice squad. Every NFL team has 10 spots to fill their practice squad. Buffalo Football Report will keep track of the entire list as it’s announced.
OL Chris Martin
RB Cierre Wood
DB Jaylen Watkins
S Jonathan Meeks
WR Dezmin Lewis
DE Cedric Reed
OG Cyril Richardson
DE IK Enemkpali
LB Kevin Reddick
QB Alex Tanney
That's what I found on the web. Not sure if any changes.
Whoops. Enemkpali was activated and suspended so this must not be the latest news story. My apologies guys.
That's a bit outdated. The full list is at the bottom of the roster page at BB.com:

> IK on Suspended list
> No Alex Tanney
> O'Leary now on the PS

You are distorting the position I have made. With respect to what Brady did or didn't do after the judge's ruling it is now a dead issue. The stupendously incompetent Roger Goodell in his weird wisdom decided to appeal this decisive ruling against him. In another year or two the next level of appellate judges will again formerly rebuff him.
You believe that Brady was involved in ordering the balls to be inflated below the permissable level. I don't. It's as simple as that. You believe that the inflation levels affected performances and influenced the outcome of the game. I don't. The judge snickered at that notion in court by pointing out that Brady performed better when the balls were at a higher inflation level. You repeatedly stress that he hasn't proved that he is not guilty. I say that he doesn't have to. That's not how things work. He hasn't been proven guilty of anything.
My position on this manufactured issue has been the same from day one to the end of the line. You continue to let this ludicrous issue consume you as if it is a moral crusade. It's not.
As I said in the prior post if you believe that Brady was involved in a transgression that reaches to the level of an immoral act against mankind then go ahead and continue to believe it. You are entitled to your beliefs; you are entitled to your zealotry.
All through these extended discussions on this topic I have tried to be respectful. But when it gets to the point that Bills' fans start actually believing that they are "victims" in this fiasco then it has gotten into the realm of the theatre of the absurd. What more can I say?
You really think that after all the work to get the balls just right, and the texts discussing Tom, deflation, the pay-offs, his call history and non-compliance it is more likely than not that Tom wasn't involved or rewarded McNally for his actions?
Wow.
I can see an argument that Brady got off due to sloppy prosecution. But I don't get thinking he wasn't at all involved. Clearly something happened.
I am also surprised the ruling went against the League. I wouldn't think execution of discipline would need to be perfect to stand. At very least I think the League has Brady dead-to-rights for non-compliance. How he got off with less punishment than a coach criticizing a call in a post-game press conference is beyond me.
-
The penalty on the defense in this case gives the offense a fresh set of downs though
But that is only if the yelling is called, not just that the defense caused them to jump. And if it was first down, there isn't a disincentive.
In the Pats/Steelers' case, it was third down, so the call would have made a big difference, and likely a 4 point difference in the resulting score.
-
So just how exactly does that comport with the NFL Rule #12, Section 3, Line J:
"Using acts or words by the defensive team that are designed to disconcert an offensive team at the snap. An official must blow his whistle immediately to stop play." "Penalty: If the foul is by the defense, it is also an automatic first down."
I don't think it does. The coaches told the team it was legal and they proceeded full-bore thinking it was.
I have often wondered about those goal-line plays. There is almost no penalty on the defense if the call goes against them (e.g. move the ball 9 inches closer to the goal line), whereas a call against the offense changes a first and 1/goal to 1st and 6.
I am glad to see the rule says an automatic first down in this case. That is something....
-
“The rule is you can’t mimic like an offensive cadence,” Mayo said. “That’s the rule. I just said, ‘Move.’ All I said was ‘Move,’ and they moved. … If I were to have got up there and said, ‘Blue 42,’ now that’s illegal.”
Mayo admits to yelling "Move."

It is owned by the nfl.
Last night's game is the first I have seen what looked like trailers with the headset tech. Is that new, or I just haven't paid close enough attention. Thanks.
-
Is the Tech for the headsets independently set up and managed? It is clear this needs to be "owned" by the NFL, not managed by the home team.
-
suspended for 4 games No?
So. . . . if he is not on a roster, is the extension applied, or only when/if he is signed?
-
McCoy run to the right (Incognito pulling), gain of 7.
14 first downs
-
There is a whole layer of detail about what does and doesn't get considered I'm not sharp enough to detail with confidence. From my memory, an incentive that was previously met counts, and then anything within a close margin of that. For example, all playing time incentives would be "likely to be met" if the player played all games the previous season.
Some more info here: https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/3icqh4/how_does_incentive_based_pay_affect_the_salary_cap/
In the case that there is a player who was injured the season before and the LTBE status can't be agreed upon due to not having a prior season baseline of performance then the determination goes to the CBA specified impartial arbitrator who makes the decision. -
Is the your team cap # figured with or without incentives in contract? If without, what happens if incentive that are met by players puts you over? I believe Cassels, Incognito and others on Bills have incentives.
Only the "likely to be met" incentives. The others are trued up against the following year's.

The #Bills have signed CB Merrill Noel to the team's practice squad and released QB Alex Tanney.
Yeah, these guys do a good job racking up the Frequent Flyer Miles!
I think that's the last time Alex will sign with the Bills. . . .
-
That looks great to me. I think Maclin is really going to light it up this year. He has looked fantastic in the Preseason and is going to be featured in the offense. If anything, you are a bit light at WR (depth), but I think that is the easiest position to find players on a waiver claim.
-
I might be fine with the Bills keeping just 2 QBs, except:
1) Tyrod seems to like to scramble
2) Manuel doesn't look like he can take a hit well, especially for someone his size
3) they have little NFL experience between them
4) there isn't anyone waiting on the PS
Any injury to either QB will mean we need to quickly acquire and jump the QB up to speed.
If Marquise Gray (or someone else on the roster) is the 3rd QB and they are giving him some snaps at QB intermittently, and he's doing okay, then I feel a lot better.
-
I don't understand going into the season like this. I assume something else is in the works.
-
-
Bryce to 49ers? They just put Kendall Hunter on IR....
-
My guess is they sign Ponder as QB3.
For the other open spot, they either sign someone and cut O'Leary (for PS) when Dareus returns, or don't sign anyone and stay with this roster, ignoring the open slot week 1 rather than guarantee another salary for the year. Is that unusual?
-
I'm surprised they are moving on from Turbin. I thought he was one of the better backup running backs in the league. I guess they are struggling to find the roster space.
-
Wow! So if TT gets dinged we have... only EJ? They have to be looking at someone cheaper.

That was so much fun to read and watch!
