Great. An excuse for the whole year now. That is fuging great.

Well what is deep for Bryce? The game cast things say (not for just him) something like deep pass 18 yards complete. The biggest under throw that comes to mind right away I think was week one I think to T Mac left sideline where he would have had to go back through the defender to get to it. And people one guy was saying he had to make that catch. Which is why I remember it. May not have been 20 yards though.

Looking at the compliment of targets on the field in a given formation, and given the QB and M.O. of this offense (hopefully run heavy but also using the RB as a pass receiver), what would you expect a number two to do? Not the best number two for the highest flying offense, but here for this one? Honest question, looking for a baseline.

Yeah. But he must have seen something in him. There were surely other guys out there to bring in. These are usually fruitless, I know. Just curious.

No telling about Hooker. I wouldn’t think Canales has had a lot of time to spend working with him.

If anyone has ever broken their ribs you know how painful that must have been for the guy and how many numbing injections he must have been given. I have seen people play like that it is crazy. I mean I had that poo and would no way be throwing a football too far nor taking hits.

Yeah. They are talking as much ti the player a lot of times, as they are to the fans. Build him up. He could have meant it too but to broadcast it, it had a purpose even if he didn’t believe it.

Nobody saw him limping that I remember. ? Or could find the play he hurt it on. Something like that. It felt like Frank was forcing the issue to a lot of people. He had wanted to sit him I am pretty sure. One of his last attempts at forcing some sanity on Tepper. That was the game where Andy at least made it enjoyable. NFL like.

Looks that way. Is it possible maybe he wasn’t 100% but wanted to protect his job? I mean I would look at what Rico did with some worry if I were out.

That is the one that made me wonder wtf? Mr Master Scout

The intel though is probably the primary consideration. Just looked up the practice squad salary rules. Top pay is $22k per week. Bottom is $13k. based on accrued seasons. 2 Tiers. 3 years gets you to the high pay window. Interesting life.

He is the best we have had IMO. If that keeps up. Looks like he practices martial arts with the leveraging your opponent’s momentum.

Pretty sure one of the early Morgan declarations was ‘it’s a big man’s game’ - maybe not in those exact words but pretty close. Said with a straight face. No hint of irony.

Not sure he is allowed to shop for the god stuff. Buffalo though lol. I am sure it’s pure coincidence. Heh.

It would be worth it just for the visual of them standing next to each other.

I haven’t seen enough to know if we will get two years ago Andy. And week 3 2024 Andy was very good. It looks like some drop off may be in play. He has the experience and the eyes to compensate somewhat. (It is more OL dependent than usual considering he is not too mobile). As an aside, that Russell Wilson special late to Legette was how I expected t see him used with Bryce. Hasn’t happened.

The design was have the two big dog guards to sandwich him, which keeps him much less exposed. Oh well. I guess the challenge will be good for him going forward.

And it is delicate because Chuba is a Captain. I expect him to put the team first though, when push comes to shove.

Yeah ageeed. We are back to Fox ball and that is dependent on this patchwork OL. Especially looking forward to seeing the old school play action game, how that works. Because it should. And the defense will be tested.

Yeah. I have not been disappointed in the defense nor the offense except the lack of faith in the QB - and he has done some decent things. It isn’t all bad Just so limiting and that’s what I mean by as currently constructed. They have mostly beat who they were supposed to. I am not sure how to view the Bills. Except to not be expecting them to lose three in a row. I would say they shouldn’t be expected to beat them so if they do then they elevate into the other category of pulling an upset or two. The next step after winning those you should win. I am really not a greedy fan- meaningful games in late December are going to keep me engaged and basically non pissed off. I mean that is my bottom line expectation from the franchise on a yearly basis. It will change in specific seasons with maybe some higher expectations but we aren’t there right now. But I can see it from here with a tweak to the defense and better QB play. PS - how I really feel about .500 and now .570 is we were there at the end of 2022 and threw it all away to step up - and are just now getting back there. After so much waste of assets and the improvement that could have been made with them. Super frustrating.

I made my judgement before the 2023 draft over what I saw on video and it was just ridiculous with the Bruce advocates using college to speculate all summer long. You can’t successfully argue against it because there are no examples of him playing vs veteran NFL talent. It was really hard to just sit back and watch all the cock sure fapping. All based on college tape. Most of the same people are still fighting that fight though. Don’t believe your lying eyes - I have the stats right here that will prove you didn’t see that.

I listened to the radio (Luke is an outstanding analyst) and didn’t hear much. Stat sheet didn’t show much. Maybe he executed his blocks Politician answer is they have like 5 options with the TE and RB being used so they can’t all be the star each week. Let’s hope he looked good enough on film to get some looks this week.

Honesty I can’t see that happening with the team as currently constructed. But to feel good about them I need to see them beat who they should beat and steal a couple they are dogs in and compete (with the top teams), be a team people don’t look forward to playing. That is what I feel like they owe us, more is gravy.

Oops double posted a spell corrected edit. NM.

Well he made some good contributions and hopefully built up some confidence. GWe have so many guys who could be targets - Cowboys game 10 different players had receptions. And he isn’r the number one option and then you have a quarterback that is challenged to take advantage of them being open. You can argue to what degree but the point is that numbers may vary quite a bit from week to week. I just want him to make the catches he should make and execute his blocks and keep the penalties down. 9/92/TD, 3/40, 2/20, whatever it is that game if he does his job is fine with me.
