I’ll take Pittsburgh at home. Revenge is best served cold for when their 3rd stringers #### blocked us from the playoffs in 2004. Me still bitter over this? Nah….

Agreed. It was kind of odd to be comparing a rookie’s numbers to future Hall of Famers in their prime. That’s not even apples to oranges. More like apples to eggs.

So, basically, this is going to come down to the 4th quarter of the final game of the season, maybe even final play, and despite the best efforts of McD, we’re actually going to win this.

We don’t need an OT that plays in the defensive backfield.

I would consider sitting him if it would make a difference for whatever injury he has (if he does).

He has a significant shoulder injury, but I don’t want to say anything about this shoulder injury because I want to keep his shoulder injury a secret.

Cranyonz back in form.

Coaches will have to be looking closely at the match ups. Going into the playoffs healthy may trump the divisional crown.

Bueller…bueller…

How many times has a opposing QB won over the Bills, only to be benched later in the season? We have 2 Wilsons and Jones. Who else?

McDaniel: “Those can be tricky” Translation: I’m going to make him play, explaining it will be tricky.

Spencer Brown flopping around like a 90 lb little B word. He was flopping so hard, even Flopping McFloppin Allen fell for it and had to go to his rescue.

Just to think our season would’ve been much, much different if we didn’t F up the games against the Eagles and Broncos. 2 easily winnable games.

It’s a game of inches. You never know.

All this “tush push” talk is really strange to me. The Eagles didn’t invent this. An offense pushing the pile forward has been part of football as far back as I can remember.

I don’t think it had any effect. Like always, the team placed themselves into a position where 1 freak play decided the game. Just like the PHI or DEN games. Luckily, this one went in our favor.

My guess is this is just one side of the story and the truth is somewhere in the middle. If a player is truly injured and is not medically cleared, then I think the team has to disclose it and place him on IR. That didn’t happen. So, he must’ve been medically cleared. It may be the case of the team saying go out and play and Elam saying he can’t. I’m skeptical as well. He may very well have sustained an injury, but when it resolved is probably a point of contention between Elam and the team.

This still doesn’t make sense. If he has an injury that is severely limiting his ability to effective play or play at the level he is expected to, then you declare the injury and place him on IR. He comes back when he’s medically cleared and able to play. None of this double-speak by McD about playing the players who give them the best chance to win. None of the constant questions by reporters. What did they expect? We have a 1st rounder who showed much promise last year to then fall off a cliff his 2nd year and were only hearing about this now??

I swear, I’ve seen this game before.

When they call the inevitable defense PI, then yes.

May be a little conspiracy-ish, but I have to wonder if this was an intentional leak by someone higher up in the FO. Why is this coming out now? It happened almost 4 years ago. We have an owner that can’t really fire him for having a down year, despite multiple on-field meltdowns. But now we have this. And we will always have this.

I’m not convinced of this report either. There’s a zero chance of him being fired, until he does. That’s the way these usually work. They give a vote of confidence and the next week, they’re fired. Pegulas has even done this with the Sabres. Botterill I think. If they lose 2 of the following games, which is highly likely, then I bet McDs job is in jeopardy. Maybe not fired, but there will be discussions. No longer a zero percent.

The Texans have a better record than we do. Let that sink in.

All of Beane’s top 3 round picks are need based. I can’t think of one that wasn’t. AJE was need, Torrence was need, Elam was need, and Kincaid was need. This is fine, because a rookie can make an immediate impact in the NFL. It’s only bad when the need outweighs the quality, like Elam.

I’m not at all worried about cutting some of our higher paid players, especially if they are over 30. We’re not getting results with them, so am sure cutting them wouldn’t automatically put us below 0.500. The roster needs to retool with hungry players wanting their next contract to be a big one, not ones who have already been paid. All I see is players going through the motions.
