    Got by week 4 by the skin of my teeth.  The Bengals nearly laid an egg, but pulled it out against the Jags in the closing minutes of play.  In the end, I got what I wanted.  I got to use what is most likely a third tier team and I survived, thus saving a top tier team for a bit later in the season.

     

    No offense to you personally, but I was pulling for the Jags to win knowing that close to half the people in the pool would have been eliminated.

     

    I’m going with the Titans this week.

    It may matter to Moss and Singletary, but I greatly doubt it matters to the coaches. If it did they'd pick a guy and stick with him.

     

    And it doesn't send any kind of bad message, because the coaches feel, and doubtless communicate, that they are playing these guys for game-specific advantages in who they start. This isn't going to piss anybody off or send bad messages, the idea's ridiculous. It's not like the Bills are doing something wild here by going back and forth. It's S.O.P. these days on many teams. 

     

    I’m not saying they shouldn’t play both guys, they absolutely should, but being number 1 on the depth chart matters to the players. IMO, Moss is the better back, and should start even if they are going to continue to split carries.

    He still fumbles the football.   

     

    Singletary has fumbled the ball ball more times than Moss this year....lucky for DS, all his fumbles went out of bounds, but he still fumbled the ball.

    Just play the hot hand. Some weeks it will be Singletary. It's a committee backfield. It doesn't matter who you list first.

     

     

    I’m sure it matters to them who starts. It also sends a bad message to the locker room if you aren’t starting the player who is playing the best at the position.

    Credit AJE for committing to it but credit to the Bills for taking a guy in round 2 - their first pick in that draft - and then saying "we love your talent but are gonna strip you back to very foundations of your game and your body and rebuild you in your rookie year." 

     

    I mean I would have said that sounds like a hugely risky strategy. But the early results it looks like it is paying off. 

     

    Seems like they are taking the same approach with Boogie Basham this year.....hopefully with similar results next year.

    Not that it really matters, but I was surprised to see Trubisky carry out the (usually) trivial final kneel downs at the end of the game.

     

    In considering pros and cons of having the (cold) backup QB handle this duty, I couldn't think of any pros (give Josh a rest?), but I can think of a con: A fumbled snap.

     

    Wouldn't it be better for the already-warmed up starter, who has been taking handoffs from Morse all game, to handle the final duties?

     

    Is there a rule I was unaware of that states if a back-up QB fumbles a "victory formation" kneel-down snap, the opposing team is awarded 35 points???

     

    If not, I could care less if they sent Star or Ed Oliver in to take those snaps.

     

    C'mon man!!!!!!!

    (Besides that Tre White interception that was erased by a stupid call.)

     

    To me, this was the turning point of the game. If that INT wasn’t called back on a phantom penalty, the momentum would have been completely on their side...the score right before the half, then the INT......drive down and score a TD....17-0.....game over IMO.
