I'm going to agree with an asterisk. Until he is confident enough to hand it off permanently. I'm guessing it's Washington calling plays today and think there is a reason he was given assistant HC title. He's also the DL coach which also helps explain the change in philosophy to more attack than contain

I think the biggest reasons he didn't bring someone else in as DC is because he feels like the biggest reason we haven't hoisted the Lombardi the last 2 years is the defense coming up small when it matters most.

 

There's about as much chance of him giving it up as you getting one of my dobermans off a meaty bone.

Awful lot of biting going on here. (Give it to me bud! Spending the night now)

He will be poached if they try and stuff him on the PS.

Of course I could be wrong but I just don't see him making the roster. He was featured in the first pre-season game, and has steadily slid back since then. Playing the 4th quarter of the last two games. Not sure why, but he hasn't looked as good as he did that first game.

Balon Spector has a hamstring injury.

At least part of that is playing with Kyle Allen.  They don't seen to be on same page.

Right. It is the 4th quarter snaps that gives me pause.

Hahaha... Good to know I'm not the only one happy to wipe that foul taste outta my mouth.

Yes. Just mentioned in the biblestudy thread. They are not sure the cause but are trying to getbit figured out. BP is now staying stable at 122/72. Pulse has gone from 60 to 150 then slowly makes it way back to 60. Says afib on the screen but the drs say they dont think it is that.

Ugh.  Just get the stupid thing off.  Situational football.

Blocked punt

[Alaska Darin]

That was like the "preseasonist" play so far.  That snap was so late it happened next week.

[Ann]

Wow that was some over the top acrobatics by the RB for Chicago to get that 2 point conversion.

Just a little more on this to possibly lend a better context.

 

Isabella ran from the slot with the first team in game one. Sherfield, game two. Today, Harty. The difference I guess is, again, the fourth quarter snaps. If he does make the roster, the Bills will be keeping 7 at WR. 

 

Or... one of Sherfield/Harty will not make the squad.

"&#%$ing idiots"

 

- My wife (caring far too much about preseason) complaining about the blocked put, resulting TD, and 2-point conversion

I think Sherfield is a sher thing (see what I did there?). He has made some amazing catches the last couple weeks and seen to love contact over the middle. I have been less than impressed with Harty though so maybe he is the odd many out.

[Alaska Darin]

That was an excellent route/wall off by Ateman.

Sherfield is pretty clearly WR3 - his blocking is excellent.
