  1. Thurman. He was the guy that made everything work. That team was built around -- and carried by -- the offense. Thurman was the best offensive player (not just RB) in the league for two of those years. Bruce was a close second, IMO. The defense never played at an equivalent level, even with Bruce. They would make splash plays and take aways, and beat up on inferior competition, but ultimately, were not stout enough to stop big, powerful running teams...
  2. And yet, every game he makes a big impact on the defense. Dings are part of the game. Missing significant time (more than 4 games in 4 years) is unavailability--not a series here or even a game there...
  3. Williams is going to be tough to re-sign on the cheap. Should make it even harder to keep Milano, unfortunately...
  4. Meh. Short memories make it easy to like people who take both sides of an issue and tell you how right they are all the time...
  5. The Gazatte and Lockport Sun-Journal are owned by the same company (CNHI - formerly Community Newspaper Holdings, Inc.) based in Montgomery, Alabama...
  6. I have a big problem if the Bills are forced to move this game to Week 18. If they've already secured a wildcard slot, making them travel and play Week 18 runs the risk of incurring extra wear and tear or a key injury. And if their Widcard opponent doesn't play that week, obviously a big disadvantage in terms of preparation and rest. The Titans game has to be made up well before the end of the season, preferably in the bye week. If not, I see a big problem with competitive balance...
  7. Nope to tanking. IMO, there has been a spate of horrible GMs on a number of teams, which is coming home to roost. On the other side, that's what makes Beane worth his weight in gold...
  8. My guess is that we'll know by the end of today. The two-practice rule is in play here, so at worst, the game would need to be shifted. I think forfeit is definitely on the table, though...
  9. Delta is the 25th named storm of 2020 and the ninth hurricane. Forecasters have had to resort to naming storms from the Greek alphabet after running out of 21 male or female storm names in September. Delta is the fourth storm named using the Greek alphabet (the others were Alpha, Beta and Gamma) and is now the strongest hurricane ever named after a Greek letter...
  10. I realize this may be innapropriate for this forum (mods, go ahead and delete if you think so), but I found it so damn funny/creative/seasonal...
  11. Meh. Too much focus on stats and analytics. Even with the great 4-0 start, stats will always be the secondary way to describe Josh's game...
  12. OP - no offense, but you must be young or new to Buffalo. Sully has done this many times in the past -- he has enormous contempt for readers, who he expects to have forgotten his cheerleading when he later turns around and says the Bills suck and I told you so...
  13. Too slow, poor in pass coverage. A step down from Lorenzo Alexander, who was way more instinctive...
  14. That would appear to be incorrect: McDermott said that the defensive mentality changed in the second half. He credited defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier for dialing up some good defenses, too. “The players responded. The fourth down stop was big for us as well as Q Jeff’s sack fumble and Josh’s (fumble recovery) really ignited the turnover situation there. Good to see,” McDermott said. Really proud of the defense and the way they responded with more work to do as a team." https://www.syracuse.com/buffalo-bills/2020/10/josh-norman-lifted-bills-with-his-play-i-dont-know-if-we-win-that-game-without-him.html
