Probably hard to change and teach a different playbook this far into a season for a guy like cole. I’d imagine they are slowly adding a few plays and might have to sandbag anything spectacular until the playoffs. Then again it just might be incompetence. Knee jerk for having soo many important drops/fumbles and now they have no idea what to do with the guy.

I think a lot of what Cole does is actually reading the defense and getting to a spot. I don’t think he needs too much acclimation time to the playbook.

I’m just hoping he’s on the field on most 3rd and 4-10 yards

Good point. It’s odd that they only target him once a game

Beasley and Anderson elevated for the game. Think the Bills have to sign Beasley to the active roster if they want to elevate him again after this week.

Don't need elevations left for the playoffs, so they could just choose not to next week.

beasley elevated for the game

they have to put him on the 53 man roster now to have him play a 4th game

- homiedclown


He hasn’t done much at all so far to earn a spot on the 53man roster
Maybe that changes tonight though?

Those two aren't showing much IMO. Hope it isnt a sign of things to come.
Ostlund was proported to be a terrific set-up guy, he needs to also pot some goals.
They both may need a couple years developing...which would be ok

I shower before bed & get up about 15min before I’ve gotta leave to go anywhere

45min is a long commute too

I rather the patriots make playoffs over the dolphins.

I don’t want to play the dolphins again. It’s not a great match up.

Even the jets defense. If the jets find a half way decent QB. They could be a problem. I don’t get why Joe Flacco doesn’t play

We’re unlikely to play Miami though, even if they do make it

For that to happen, they’d have to beat KC in the 1st round

Take your transistor radio to bed, plug in your ear piece, and listen to the game under your covers.

Trust me, it works.

My New Years wish list for the Sabres. Not in any Particular order.

#1: Bench, trade, cut, launch to the Moon, Mittle-shat and Olo.
#2: Trade for Top 4 Defensman. OEL, Chick-Run, Kilngberg etc...
#3, Trade away Erik portillo and Ryan Johnson, they are not singing here use them and Mitts and OLO as pieces to get your D
#4, trade for a REAL NHL Starting Goalie

- hehateme


#1. I dislike both players but why mess up the number 1 offense in the league and get rid of our depth? Get rid of both, 1 injury the offense is weakened a lot.

#2. Yes please try

#3 We will see. We don’t know that yet.

#4. They are going to give Comrie a chance. I don’t think that is a big enough sample size. Anderson. I honestly don’t get why he is on the roster when he barely plays.

UPLs mentor that make almost 2 mill? He plays 1 time every 7-10 days. Makes no sense.

Good point.

But mine still stands - I don’t fear the Chiefs.

P.S. And in Tua’s defence, it’s a pretty tough name to memorize.
