  1. No one said that. Relax, Mrs Oliver. Ed made a great play and capitalized on Henry's mistake. Both can be true. The TEAM and McD, however, got lucky.
  2. Henry got cocky about his stiff arm and tried to stiff arm Ed in traffic, allowing Ed to get to the football. He needs to save those stiff arms for DBs in space.
  3. I dont know, man. Miami didnt start a single drive inside the 20 after a kick off, even after a penalty (set them back from the 32 to 27). But seemed like they were real close to breaking one for a TD at least twice last night.
  4. We hired someone specifically for this recently (last year?). Additionally, not challenging the spot in the Ravens game was the right call. Spots are almost impossible to change/overturn on replay. And even more subjective when you throw a slide into the equation. Was a better decision to hold onto the time out.
  5. Or in Cook's case, a star AND high character guy. As proven by showing up to all required activities, never asking for a trade, being with the team, and participating as much as was safe/reasonable while in the middle of contract negotiations. Also working to improve his strength and game every season we've had him.
  6. Going into the Jets game, I realized I hadnt done laundry the whole week since the Ravens game. So I dug into the hamper and put on the same Bills T-shirt I wore for the Sunday Night opener (A t-shirt "jersey" with HULL 67 on the back). Still havent washed it. Wore it again last night. Will not wash it and will wear it next week too. Youre welcome!
  7. Haha, I almost made that point in my post above but then realized he has an extra game so not fair. But he wont be far from the top even after Sunday.
  8. Yeah. Davis is much more a "I'm going to run full speed at where the hole is supposed to be whether it's there or not" player. Which is fine. Cook has more patience and vision to create runs on his own. As Dion said, Cook makes the line look better.
  9. By the time this season is over, $15M will seem reasonable. By the time the next offseason is over, $17M would seem reasonable. Let's not quibble over paying our stars ever again. Especially when we're paying Curtis "healthy scratch" Samuel $9M. (I do wonder/worry if we see Cook hold out again in the next year or two to get his number more in line with Jonathan Taylor)
  10. Very Thurman-like. He used to do the same.
  11. Are we regressing to the mean yet? On track for 16+ TDs. Over 5 YPC last night without a 40+ to skew the average. Our go-to in short yardage, punching it in from the 1 again. Leading the league with 15 1st down conversion runs (no need to worry about 3rd down) Called "the most overshadowed Superstar" on the broadcast due to playing with Josh. Featured on "That Boy Bad!" this morning.
  12. We got pressure. The problem was we also let Tua slide out of pressure and extend the play, and then coverage cant hold up that long and it's an easy completion. McDermott talked about it in his post game. Said they need to tweak it on Defense so our guys are actually hitting the QB and not letting him extend the play. I think a lot of that was missing Ed in the middle last night. Bosa and Rousseau would get upfield and close to Tua, and when Tua stepped up to evade, we didnt have anyone coming up the middle to clean up.
  13. 47 yard line 32 yard line 26 yard line 26 yard line 37 yard line I wouldnt say it's "very few" making it to the 35. Those returns average out to the 34 yard line. And each of those come with the chance to pop it for a TD, which was very close on a couple of them. When the game was on the line at the end, they wisely kicked it into the end zone. Just do that all game instead of giving the other team a chance to turn the game around.
  14. While the ideal outcome is getting it to the 20, I think getting that scenario to work out is unlikely. Boot it through the end zone, put it at the 35 and play ball. I think some teams have tried that already, and it was not very successful. Almost need to hire a new assistant Special Teams coach to figure out what to do and how to do it on the new kickoffs.
  15. Interesting. Need to squib/soccer kick it!
  16. Not sure he tipped it, but McDermott and Tua both talked about Walker getting his hands up affecting the throw. So it was a big contribution on that play no matter what.
  17. Kicking it to the 9 just allows the guy to catch it on the run and usually get a good return, with the decent chance of breaking one. Seems like smart teams should just boot it through the end zone and put it on the 35. Am I wrong?
  18. The best call McDermott made all night was sneaking in a Time Out to negate the Dolphins false start. It was 3rd and 5, and the Dolphins were trying to jump early to get to 3rd and 10, since that was a gimme all night.
  19. Oops, I had quoted the wrong post. Meant to get the one you replied to. Go Bills! 👍
  20. He still owes them a 1st round pick!
  21. @RichStadiumGuy If you are local to Buffalo, you'll have it on regular broadcast TV
  22. Miami fans would love that, but pretty impossible I assume you meant "If I'm Ross". I think he cleans house after this game and tells the interim GM to trade away everyone. Beltline patio!
  23. I assume anyone with any dings will be resting tonight.
  24. Cool, with all due respect I'm not looking for your agreement. Bills by a Billion!
