    Hell, all we need is someone who can at least threaten downfield…that currently does not exist on our roster.

     

    It does actually. Palmer played that role with the Chargers regularly and was wide open on many of those.

     

    Moore and Samuel can both get deep and have the speed to do it and Davis is one of the best deep ball WR in the NFL when healthy.

    just a wild narrative that Brady won’t allow it 

     

    He doesn't utilize WR in a way that allows for it really. Diggs fell off a cliff when he took over from Dorsey while being near the top of the NFL before that.

     

    I'm supposed to believe Diggs suddenly stopped being able to do what he did the 8 week prior?

    Clearly his job should come down to this game and the amount of points a banged up defense gives up. 

     

    Been way more banged up than this with Hill playing and haven't given up anything close to that.

     

    I'd be surprised if the Fins scored more than 21

    If Cole keeps playing anything like this, it’s a bit of redemption for Beane for choosing him and McD for coaching him up in a way that didn’t ruin him by throwing him into the fire too soon. This might be one of the biggest turnarounds I can remember, because it was painful to watch him early. Good for you Cole, for being dedicated to improvement. 

     

     

    THIS is what they saw in him. 

     

    It's simply called the natural progression of a young player.

     

    And it won't be linear, there will still be games he seems to take a step back.

     

    Overall tho, his progress has been fantastic and IMO Poyer has played an integral part in helping him understand both his role and how to communicate properly in this D.

     

    Safety is an extremely hard position to master in this D because of all the disguising and communication needed in it. Poyer said it took 2 years of him starting to finally feel comfortable in it. Bishop has far less time than that but he has the guy who played it at an All-Pro level mentoring him.

    Great question!!

     

    I would have said under a couple of weeks ago but it feels like we are entering “Thanos time.” It feels like he is about to start dominating. “Feeling” isn’t the best way to analyze something but you know it when you see it. He had that look last week that has been largely absent for the first half of the year. We may see him dominate the second half on his way to another MVP.

     

    Currently on pace for 42.5, likely gets a few more so I'll say 44. Unless he sits week 18, then probably 41 or 42.

  5. They changed their backup QBs jersey number to the same number as the punter the day before the game and then submitted the roster.

     

    Pretty wild...number 80 in the game to punt but instead of it being the punter, it's the backup QB who completes a pass for the first down.

    THE OHIO STATE

     

    F that school! Lived in Columbus for 6 years and my biggest joys were watching Michigan kick their ass and see all of them crying in their beer. Until I was down the street from campus watching with my buddies and they went psycho and started overturning cars and setting dumpsters on fire...never went back down there for that game again 🤣

  7. Some other notables:

     

    JC Tretter (C/Batavia)  who served as the player president of the NFLPA and then as the Chief Strategy Officer. Played in the NFL for 8 years. He resigned amid allegations he buried results from injury reports and concussion data although he denied it.

     

    Corey Graham(DB/Buffalo) who won 2 SBs with Baltimore and Philadelphia. Went to Turner/Carroll HS which is now closed.

     

    Jim Dombrowski (G/Williamsville) who is the highest drafted WNY player ever, taken 6th by the Saints in 1986. Played 11 years and is in the College Football HOF as well as the Saints HOF.

     

    Brett Kern(P/Grand Island) 3x Pro Bowl punter mostly for the Titans.

     

    Shane Conlan(LB/Carroll) is from Carroll, NY in Chataqua County and played for Frewsburg HS. Had no idea he was a local product.

     

    James "Boobie" Starks(RB/NF) played for the Packers and won a Super Bowl

    Of course you are all forgetting my Alma mater and WNY football powerhouse the Red Raiders of St Francis!!...Home of Brian Daboll....okay...hes the first name that came to mind....

     

    Also both Nick Sirianni and Roger Goodell who hail from Jamestown.

     

    I wonder what the odds are that 2 of the major players in the NFL including the commissioner and Super Bowl winning coach are from the same small town in WNY?

     

    Has to be astronomical.

    Hmmm... how did I completely miss that.

     

    Thank you.

     

     

    "You phaquing guys both live down here and neither of you broke dyks had a freaking game plan?????!!!!!?!??!?!?"

     

     

    I would love to see Davis, Johnson, Hawes and Moore lead this team to a resounding victory.

     

     

    This is why it's ridiculous to talk about who plays and who doesn't on a Tuesday. Now that we have more solid info, I would say:

    • Start the Benford and play him as little as possible/pull him as soon as possible.
    • Hold Taron out to let him recover more/see how Lewis does.
    • Hold out DaQuan and Palmer and trust that we can win without them. They're more important down the road than they are this weekend... assuming a win.

     

     

    I don't disagree with you but isn't it someone else here who carries the "there's no such a thing as a trap game" torch?

     

     

    Agreed though I'd like to see them play as few snaps as possible.

     

     

    The feeling's mutual and I'm sorry to the many people here that I've offended. It's our passion for the team that causes us to behave poorly at times.

     

     

    Of course, because the Dolphins "Wish it were colder."

     

     

    Manager Jeffrey GIF by Aan & Matig

     

     

    I carry that torch as well and have posted the studies showing they don't exist...probably could find them, it was a while back.
