the fall and get up, and strip never had to happen with a good throw.

You’re way off with this take, HE

Only a matter of time before I chimed in here...there are no good numbers for Joseph or Suh to wear.  Gonna be in a 60s or 70s #

Well... different players.  These are old guys that no one else seemed to be in a hurry to add.  

If it keeps a healthy rotation and prevents players playing too many snaps, I am all for it

Lol I wonder how many guys thought " F Quez" today

 

On the team plane to Indy. 

 

 

On the Quez fumble, was the route supposed to be a slant, skinny post, or a go-route?

Joseph is 72.

Suh is going to be some disaster number a TC jobber would share with someone else

2010 double dip, nice.

Bills fans won't be pleased. Snow games with those nutjobs are the best.

The fact that Dean isn't playing AT ALL worries me greatly. When have we seen highly drafted players who couldn't play at all as rookies ever amount to something? Maybe Trotter, although I'm not entirely certain that he didn't sniff the field as a rookie. I remember Brodrick Bunkley getting the "stay on the bench as a rookie" treatment, much to the confusion and dismay our our fan base. Same with Matt McCoy. He never played as a rookie, and it ultimately proved to be that the coaching staff realized he wasn't any good.

I'm getting that same vibe with Dean. And trust me, I'm not one of those naturally negative fans. On the contrary. I'm usually super optimistic and give players the benefit of the doubt. But when I've watched Dean on special teams, I've been very concerned about his skill set. Frankly in addition to looking very small-framed, he looks slow...or at least slower than we thought. And his change of direction and tackling has been underwhelming. I'm seriously thinking that while he may have good instincts (at least that was his rep coming out), he was in position to make plays in college primarily because he was surrounded by great talent.

My guess is that he never develops into a sustained starter in the league. The fact that Gannon raved about him a couple weeks ago means nothing. Coaches talk up their players all the time.

 

Dean is a guy in college who was as successful as he was because he was the smartest player on the field for the defense.  He knew that defense in and out and he knew what offenses were coming at them with.  For a player like that it's just going to take time as they adjust and learn at the NFL level.  I still have high hopes for Dean and think he will be a guy who will only get better over the next few years.  With all the money they need to sped on defensive FAs I don't think that both White and Edwards will be back.  Dean is going to have a chance and likely be counted on to start next year.  I think we see him take a large step in year two.  

That said, I would like to see him maybe get some shots to come in and blitz a little at some point this year.

Like the additon of both Suh and Joseph.  We are going to need bodies at these positions.  Plus, I think both still have some game to bring.  Was really surprised that they didn't bring in somebody at the trade deadline but maybe they knew these 2 were out there.

Love the Joseph (ECU baby!) / Suh signings. 

They had to do something.

It was an out route. You just couldn’t tell because it was such a terrible throw.

Disgraceful. Snow games are always classics.  There's a special mystique about them and we don't get them often

Feel somewhat bad for Quinn. He’s not going to have a bye week all year. Chicago’s bye is week 14. So he’s playing 18 games

There was no issue with the throw though, it was right on him.  Can't even take you seriously on this.   The captain cheerleader of the Carson Strong movement.  You haven't been able to show yourself impartial towards Hurts at any moment.  Just goes to show of the extreme ignorance of some of you people when it comes to this game.  

Holy sheet, I could press my entire wardrobe with this giant IRONy.

It’s supposed to snow like 6 feet. That will make travel literally impossible. 

Two straight games for the bills in Detroit. What a great vacation destination for two weeks…. Lol
