  1. I agree with this point of view and felt that Tua didnt "earn" the starting job. Fitz was playing lights out and the team was competitive early part of the season. Sure gave the Bills a run for their money. Then comes the sudden decision to start him not spurred by any traditional Fitz slump. It is likely that Flores calculated at the beginning of the season that - "okay, Tua didnt earn the starting job in TC so I will start Fitz. Eventually the dude will go back to his throw-a-pick-at-the-wrong-time ways and I will start Tua. It will be great for optics and will make my employer happy. " But, Fitz didnt slump and Flores was forced to start Tua anyway. Perhaps due to his (mis) calculation or due to undesirable pressure from the owner, the team has worked itself into a right mess. I am happy its happening to the Dolphins but I do feel bad for Tua. As I have typed numerous times before, I will always root for a league full of good QBs.
  2. No matter how many times I see that TD to Diggs, I can't believe what a great throw and catch they were. One of the best plays in recent memory especially given the pressure and game situation. Phenomenal and it's a shame it got largely ignored by the media due to what happened 34 seconds later.
  3. Yes we do. And Murray doubly so
  4. So, you are saying that he wont be a dominant pass rusher. Which makes it imperative that we add one. Star coming back next season should help the interior of the line.
  5. Not sure I am following your reasons for cutting him. We need to add a dominating DE. Will Epenesa grow up to be one ? Not sure yet and before next season, we should add another draft/FA. But, I want Hughes to retire a Bill. Fantastic trade that got him here.
  6. I cringed when I saw the replay and heard what had happened. Collapsed lung sounds very scary. He has had a great career and hope he considers his long term health when he evaluates coming back.
  7. Very impressive and classy.
  8. Bills have reduced the number of such narratives with their solid performances. Those that remain are unlikely to change their tune after the AZ game. WHen we beat them, those voices will spout "Bills caught AZ looking ahead to the Seahawks game"
  9. I actually hope he does turn out to be a good QB which will make for an exciting long term rivalry (as long as Dolphins always lose to us of course). But, yea its only two games. Lets see what happens after a few games when DCs catch up.
  10. Besides Murray's facial expressions, what makes you think they will bring it any more than they normally would ? They are a team on the rise but I don't see why their game with the Bills would be any different. We aren't even in their division.
  11. Then what was the curb stomping of Brady-led Bucs? A fine port wine?
  12. Absolutely. Any given Sunday.
  13. Bradshaw is too much bluster, little substance and unlimited annoyance. I wish we beat his beloved Steelers and hear from him how Ben was having an off day.
  14. The post I was responding to, said that Cardinals have had some good wins and I disagreed. Bills have had more "good wins"
  15. I was working my first job in little Warren, PA. Also was getting ready to get married. Now with my 3rd employer, married for 27, 2 kids who are gainfully employed
  16. Besides the Seahawks, who we shellacked yesterday, which ones would you classify as "good wins" ?
  17. Besides the fact that he said they had a game plan for a ground attack from the Bills. Unsaid - they werent prepared, nor adjusted to the all out air attack. Past records are just that - yesterday Carroll did not have his team prepared
  18. This has now happened on multiple occasions this season where the opposing team appears to be getting momentum and we come right back on O to kill it and effectively put the game away. This point cannot be over-emphasized - it is critical to break the other team's will at certain points of the game. The play you noted yesterday was my literal jump out of my couch moment. Exhilarating to say the least. Daboll and Allen seem to be fully in sync now and having our full complement of WRs is extremely important as Diggs, Beas, Brown and Davis take their turns making key plays.
  19. Spot on. I called this the moment they drafted Barkley but several people had an opinion that Barkley was a generational talent. This is yet another in a line of examples of why a high 1st round RB is a luxury pick. Giants were close to needing a QB, which is the exact time to have drafted one especially in that quality class. They were then left reaching for a QB.
  20. Very happy to hold on and win. In the past, Belichick teams would find a way to win such games Definitely concerned about the DL, maybe less so about the OL after Mongo's return. Hence, am tempering expectations about how far this team can go. However, we should win at least 1, maybe 2 playoff games.
  21. I realize it takes a team to win but having watched few portions of their games this season, their offense completely runs through Wilson and I have never seen him have a "down" game. Dude is always sharp despite the play of his teammates
  22. Besides the fact that you have no idea who you are calling a "clown", you should try debating your point with analysis and supporting data
  23. Quite the throw by Lock with the game on the line
  24. Please do. That will also be a good time to evaluate your username.
