    I believe that changed several years ago.

    Tomlin needs a coach, a coach's coach.

    :huh1:...yep
    He is toast without his all-stars playing at an elite level. Nothing to fall back to when ambushed.

    Edit: Dungy took the Bills pregame, claiming injuries were too much for his protege.

    Ben's knees are definitely hurting, not sure how severe. He is not moving in the pocket much, not stepping into his throws like before. Yesterday when he was at about the 5 yard line and threw to and missed Ebron in the endzone, he could of ran it in for a score. In the past he would of scored and manyh other QB would of scored.

    The last three games he looks tired, slow, loosing his arm strength, besides this offense being so predicable, this does not bode well for the future with our backups and our OC who doesn't help and has plays that does not play to the players strengths.

    We should write and proof read our posts on a sports message board as if it were a doctorial thesis at Harvard? I'll be more critical of my own submissions going forward if my objective is that I want you to read it. Thanks.

    Yea, Dungy, that makes a lot of sense. Offense gets as healthy as it ever was with Pouncey and Conner back and the defense hold Bills offense to 3 points in the 1st half. Now what he should have gone in depth about is why our defense falls apart in the 2nd half and our offense can't do diddly as well even though we outscore the other teams offense for the 1st half of our games. Crickets..

    I wish I could apologize for the lowering of my expectations but since I haven't, I won't. If you could I would also like any response from you to include a works cited page in the proper format as well as footnotes and the proper header as well. Thank you and have a great Monday

    I don't think NBC had the time Steel Hog. Contact Tomlin when you find the answers. :shrug:

    I don’t know about his knee, but his arm looks shot.

    Explains why you went so hard over a post that was titled Stephen Duggs. I was wondering where the pettiness came from. Now I know who I'm dealing with. I'm not a stickler for proof reading either, but I know when something is misspelled out of blatant disrespect that's why I stand by what I said under that post. I'm sensing you don't know how to separate the two when someone is being the grammar police and when someone is calling someone out for being a a-hole.

    Prefer Carson Wentz over Sam Darnold...but either are better options than Rudolph or Dobbs.

    Doesn’t look like he can step into his throws, his deep balls are awful, not even close.

    Here we go with the “deep ball” talk again.

    Could be worse, could be beating defenders off.

    Tell him not to use easybib.com or citationmachine.com, either. Write those citations out himself, dammit!

    Agreed. Are people still not getting that knee issues can affect a quarterback's ability to throw by messing up his mechanics?

    Can we swap Josh Allen for BB? Do you think Buffalo would mind?

    I saw an article about Wentz's deal and its worse than Ben's. The only way that the Eagles release him is if they eat a huge chunk of dead money or pull a Browns/Brock Oswieler type trade where the other team is stacked with young cheap talent and needs to reach the cap minimum.

    What I want to know is how are Ben’s knees bad and he’s been sacked once in the last 5 games?

    He hurt both knees on that sack late in the first half against Dallas. It only takes one play to get hurts. Just ask Bush or Dupree.

    Yeah I know. We just hadn’t heard much about his knees until that pregame report Sunday.
