    Goff tore his ACL again in July, so he's out for this whole season. He'd be a long term signing, but this year he's no help at all.

    Don't sleep on Bailey and Shaw either, those guys aren't just special team scrubs, they can play.

    Brackett might be a good guys to bring in as a run stuffer. At this point I wouldn't mind a Brad Kassel like guy who could come in at MLB as strickly a run stopper on early downs. Brackett is a good solid MLB IMO.

    I'd even consider seeing if McCarthy could slide to the weak side on early downs with a guy like Brackett in the middle.

    I'd take Brackett. He'd be useless in STs tho.

    How many of them are healthy though? And what kind of shape are they in?

    Second thought i think Goff is done.

    Brackett was still a hell of a player 2 years ago. Now a little older and not playing all last year maybe he also is done of nobody wants him.

    I would take a chance on him. Why not? He can at least play the run from tackle to tackle.

    Somebody mentioned Mccarthy moving to the weak side. No, not a good idea. McCarthy may not ever be 100% all this year unless they just sit him for 3-4 more games.

    Even when playing he was only a good run stopper inside when he had to stretch out and run sideline to sideline or cover somebody he labored. Not well suited to the weak side with that ankle.

    Besides we have the fastest LB on the planet to play on the weak side and cover(Zach Brown). We just need the run support between the tackles.

    Bills fans are a bunch of drunks who spend a large portion of each game peeing in the sinks of the restrooms at Ralph Wilson stadium so they do not have to wait for a spot at the urinal trough. It is an experience being there. I recomend it but be careful and leave the kids at home.

    Other "fun" things I have seen at Ralph Wilson Stadium:
    • A guy wearing a Dolphins jacket getting peed on by about a half dozen guys in the restroom
    • Various people passed out in seats from excessive alcohol
    • People trying to leave a little early when the outcome of the game is basically decided only to be threatened with physical violence if they do not stay
    • A pota-pottie outside the stadium being tipped over with a Patriots fan inside. The pregnant girlfriend/spouse of the Patriots fan started to yell at the guys who tipped the porta-pottie. She was shoved to the ground.
