Pretty sure guy is trolling for fun now when reading his posts below this. Statements get more nonsensical and doubles Down despite several pages of facts, not opinions, disproving his OP. PLUS has been on here awhile with many posts. No one actually thinking that way would stay here or last that long on this board where it’s hard to get away with even simple mistakes at times! 😀😂. We have been had. Lamp stuff; time to shut it down and use life’s precious time becoming more educated, not lobotomized.

Don’t see them letting him go until next year. Never can tell, maybe he becomes happier as a backup on a WINNING team! Depends on Fromms development as well. I am not even sure Beane will trade him next year since he’s on a one year deal and can probably just walk unless we get huge cap relief to somehow extend him first, as a backup. The one grace saving scenario regarding paying for our backup more than expected would be if a certain Qb sustained an acl injury running, fighting instead of going down , the whole season might remain viable. TB12 had one bad season like that, ***** happens. But on topic, no way I see them let him go this year for anything reasonable cuz he was brought here for one reason only , keep hopes of SB alive should our starter be out 3-4 weeks. You don’t trade that away before the trade deadline as playoff scenarios won’t be set by then. However , if a starter elsewhere goes down and they offer us an edge like jj watt, plus a tackle or elite rb, and next years first,,,,,thanks for your service Mitch ! Fromm, you can stand on the sideline this year as well! 😀👍😈. More it sinks in, the more I see it as another slick Beane move. Man, that guy is hard to not love; transparent as much as possible, empathetic ( made sure to call Matt and explain whole scenario BEFORE THEY DID IT ), is very open and affable with the press Corp ( compare a presser with him compared to the B###hy Belicheck) is available to fans, is available to players according to J po ( Hyde’s nickname for poyer) as he is down on the practice field all the time, set out his franchise building plan and stuck to it , looks good in sunglasses and a suit, etc! Also of great importance is he gets along well with Mcd with a shared vision of team and culture. Was even open about trade value ( both need to feel a little uncomfortable) , and did mention they talked to gronks people. NO OFFER was ever made tho as he said “it would be an upset for gronk to leave Tom”! Wonder if wifey TB12 fits same odds category!? So obviously things with Eagles are not fair yet in Beanes eyes for ertz. If you didn’t catch the Beane / Mcd presser on YouTube , it is worth 25 min with great insight.

Thx for great post! Also Tasker mentioned on Buffalo fanatics YouTube show ( Rico host) this week how much Barkley’s wife did for the other players wives /so’s) during their time in Buffalo. She made them feel cared about and helped them adjust to the NFL/ Buffalo. So loss goes beyond Matt and affects culture here. Plus / minus on this move for just a one year stay will be determined, esp if ( hopefully) he doesn’t have to see the field. Tribusky with 29 NFL wins under his belt so that is something Matt didn’t have. Beane stressed we were a game away from SB , but hey if Barkley was good for last year , I find it hard to believe an insurance policy , no matter how good ( hey he will never be josh) gets you closer. Esp with d line not better with exception of star a year older. Beane did say they believe in our capacity to run with our guys but they will still look in draft at line, rb options and made a point lots of vets will be cut later as teams drafts come into play etc. Also thought same about pats going back to future of offense with gronk / Hernandez type 12 personel use. Said Frazier will need to Solve that! ( good luck cuz our D response to kc twice was not Einstein like !)

All I know is I am taking these jet sightings much more seriously now! Cab driver / boomer= pegulas jet/ Beane free agency ! Does ertz or his wife have anything going on down there ( up there for me from Jax,fl)? I know the whole Carolina roster is always in play but anyone you think they might have an eye on since you are in the area ? 👍

Props to you for being on top of this. Surprise get with tribusky , but at least we know to take the Pegulas jet seriously. Akin to the cab driver in the days of Boomer on espn! Well done! 😀

Can’t forget the pats d will improve. Brought van noy back, judon, plus guys that opted out were good. Also added at least three other guys I believe. One thing we have seen is our o struggle against BB defenses. If we don’t get better running the ball , and that includes devin learning how to stop dropping critical screens or wheel routes, moss getting better vision as an nfl back , we become so one dimensional that our o can be neutralized much like it was in the playoffs. We scored 27, 17, 24 points , so hanging 40 is not some given thing. An o with two TES, and a power run game will limit possessions appears to be the pats plan as they know they can’t air it out with us. This is where Frazier needs to be better. Maybe go 4-3 with Klein coming in and get away from soft , off coverage zone , or bring in thick nickel package with 3 rd safety or perhaps large cb (6’2” etc from draft ) to help support run and help with TE coverage. Pats will make huge roster improvement this year , whereas so far we are locked in because of lack of cap space. Hope somehow we get ertz or if somehow etienne fell , we learned watching kc last year add with CEH, giving josh more dynamic weapons trumps picking up some much lower rated edge guy who won’t immediately produce much. I think scheme is our path to limiting pats and I hope we keep improving our strength, the o, so that 40 point total gets close to consistently being possible. If we can avg 33 points ( up from 29), this d may still be enough to get us back to afc championship game and beyond.

It has changed some , but field position is still statistically important concerning wins. We are not spending huge money on it but great investment with Bass , cut bojo because of cost , and held onto our LS. Bass was critical last year. We let Roberts go because of money as well. So your argument about spending too much has huge leaks. Special teams now sets your teams field position and look up the stats on winning related to offense starting field position, or their chance to score tds. When a hof coach like levy states how important s t play is, and a guy like Tasker also has that belief ( eg, if a guy lets a punt bounce vs catching it , you lose an avg of 20 yards on the exchange). It’s the one play you purposely turn it over to the other team, so it will come into play at critical times. Look up a recent interview of tasker on Buffalo fanatics ( Rico hosted) on YouTube , it was great and will change/ open your mind. Was done this week.

Guy is a click bait prick type; I mean can you ever see yourself wanting to hang out or have a drink with this idiot. Totally a narcissist. Beane specifically said it’s not a competition, it’s insurance, it’s a reset for Mitch, he will be here one year esp as can’t afford to keep him when Allen is due to be paid. Will be either trade bait later in the year or even next year possibly before they let him go. Best scenario , he is good insurance for a year but doesn’t hit field till last game which is meaningless and he comes in , kills it, and some team like the Raiders, Saints, WFT ( btw , does anyone else have their brain read this as WTF when you see it? Just habit!) desperate after a year of poor qb play comes calling ! Not a bad move really. Just hope draft works out. Will be happy with off season totally if we somehow land Ertz! Need a good tight end per Beane last year ( need more fro position) , and consistency is important. Knox may never get there. It’s not about a mentor for Knox. He will be a third year pro. By then you get it or you don’t; rookies need mentors. We need a red zone consistent threat and one more guy we can depend on for third down beside Beasley.

Exactly according from Beanes tweets. Here ti reset his career for a year an then move on to starting job elsewhere. Good move from that point. Good one year insurance policy. Will be tough in short term on josh / Barkley but Josh is too focused to let this have any significant long term impact.

Btw, polian did lose his job after not hiring a good backup qb. Have heard him lament about that on Sirius several times and admitted it was a bad philosophy.

Beane already tweeted they only expect him here for a year as a rest for him. Will be trade capital. Fromm may be long term backup plan.

Give credit to guy who posted about the jet being in Chicago. Just never thought it was for backup qb. Greyhound would have sufficed or maybe Uber as part of signing bonus. 😀

Well this is shocking. Who knows,,,,just hope he doesn’t hit the field till game 17. Rudolf already gone and ertz still unsigned and this is a priority? What about continuity; Barkley beat the fins first team last year. He had great relationship with josh. Don’t like this move a great deal. But.should Allen go down for 3 games maybe this makes sense. Trade bait after a year perhaps? Ok move based on trade bait as quoted by Beane ,to be gone after a year. Barkley tweets he is gone and thanks. Rough move in about room.

This is a classic he said she said type of scenario. I thought that original post by that attorney looked to be really sleazy and this thing stinks. just somebody trying to get money. Unless there was an active camera or a hidden camera going which would raise ethical concerns abou a massage therapist, I don’t see how this goes anywhere and is something that will be quickly dismissed. I don’t think it has any effect on what happens to Watson Listening to Trent Dilfer on the Pat McAfee show, he really feels like the relationship with the Texans is over and that there’s no way Watson returns and Tyrod probably starts while grooming a draft project. Dilfer feels the fins are the prob landing spot with all the draft capital , still Jets with 2 Nd pick could yet be in play. Biggest take from Dilfer, who is very well spoken and logical, is that Watsons relationship with Texans is beyond repair and I think Dilfer has enough inside experience to be credible Not great news as I bet he ends up in Miami ( let’s hope Pats are not in this, unlikely they would have brought Cam back if they were making a big push) and the AFC East could get very competitive just one year after Brady left.

Just Quick note that Micah Hyde is going to be on the Pat McAfee show on YouTube in the next few minutes it’s about 2:25 PM eastern time and he’s going to be on the McAfee show along with Hawk and the guys. Should interesting. Ertz and FA talk with FA Pending hope it’s OK to post that.

Not feasible for that purpose. Will be investigated by the league. If false , life goes on and Texans won’t release an innocent person. If guilty, no one will touch him until it’s over as league susoensions will be pending and trade impossible. No one in their right mind during this me too culture concocts something damaging to a reputation like this just to get released. Loss of all sponsorships etc and it’s impossible to be seen the same or fully recover a reputation. I have learned to distrust law firms who will do anything to make money on others pain, so releasing something during a high profile time period for the NFL would not be beyond belief, but this seems like a strange way / reach etc to announce something as grave as sexual assault charges. Why announce a case before filing which would become public quickly.any how? Seems very strange , unethical type behavior. But as I said, almost nothing done by firms with possible large recoveries involved would completely shock me these days. I certainly see no possible way Watsons management would ever be an instigator because backlash would be impossible to overcome.if that’s what you are theorizing. Will see the truth soon enough

Nice call and analysis. Props to you ! Any investment advice? 😀😊. Henceforth in 2021 I will think of you as Swami ngbills! Nice to see guys on here who know their stuff!

Beane is like a used car salesman ! How did he get anything from Atl foe Lee? Truly the WIZARD !

Good points. Brown was 8 mil. Brown was listed as 48 th best FA available while sanders was listed as 86 th best available. Analyst said might be a red flag or concerning that Saints were willing to let him go after just signing him. Plus side, he does have playoff and super bowl experience. Something to be said for making him the 3 rd wr option, but most don’t see him as a legit two now. I am not making a case for brown or sanders as I actually hoped we went after Samuels, Ertz, or someone more of a threat, so don’t come after me. Just pointing out perceived values by others. It does raise question why they couldn’t have asked Brown to get down to 6 mil but chose to not negotiate at all. Really means they were quite disappointed with his playoff performance x2 or injury is a big issue. Maybe we use extra pick fro lee to Atlanta to help acquire Ertz!

Hmmm one year 6 mil deal. Not much savings over brown. Guess they felt Brown was truly done. A little surprised at the cost.

Griffen just went to the jags.

This makes getting our running game going that much more important. We can sustain long drives as well with a good running gsme but also we have a quick strike ability the pats won’t have with Cam. Can’t do a few series where josh is off or starts slow and a quarter goes by without us touching the ball offensively. If we can run it, tho he will come down to a possession or two in the 4 th quarter and I Ike Josh to come thru then. But we can’t just pass. Pats also picked up 4 new guys to their d to cover, and to rush. We better be able to do The opposite of what Bb tries to take away , and make our O so he can’t take EVERY option away. Also pats getting all the d guys that opted out last year. They are a significantly different and probably better team. Right at this moment we are who we were, minus a vet reciever in Brown. Our edge is QB,,,,, so emphasize that edge. Give him more weapons. A better RB, / run game, better TE for the seams , and stabilize that damn o line to keep josh protected. Josh is the one thing Bb and the pats can’t compare to , so play up our advantage and just do the best we can with the d. Get josh a weapon at 30 , take a lesson from Reid who tooK CEH!

Sure looks like a huge push ; with the two tight ends I wonder if the pats are taking a cue from the ravens. With Cam playing the role if Lamar, it wouldn’t surprise me if they try a power run game ( they have picks to easily draft a very good back) with double tight ends and adequate wrs compared to last year. also addressed their rush with Judon. Been a pretty impressive couple of days with the draft still to come. That type of offense plays against our weakness against the run and tight ends. Pats really making moves that I think will make them the toughest competition in the East , as I think the fins will be limited by tua and his progression. If the pats either draft a qb or heaven forbid , somehow get a better.vet than Cam, this is going to be a tough year. We are limited by the cap so we may make one or two second tier additions and then hope we get some impact for this year in the first / second round. I am leaning toward making our strength stronger by shooting for etienne if possible , allowing our O to score with anyone. Not sure how effectively we can fix the rush with what’s left out there ( clowney ?) or hoping on getting an impactful edge guy as late as 30. BeAne did well holding onto our o line and Milano , but not sure how he can fix that rush this year. Better shore up cb2 as well with a cb who supports against the run as well as can come up to press so we don’t keep dropping in that soft zone that KC just rips apart. Pats in the division, Kc in the conference , appear to be our largest obstacles. Bb not standing still ; needs his own title without Brady.

One thing seems certain, Bill has not gotten over Brady / gronk winning one without him; kind of an in your face Bill moment that will be replayed every year before every Super Bowl. I don’t remember the Pats being this active , even before official FA opens, ever. Tight end, edge , wr, to name a few in addition to bringing back Cam. Bill seems desperate to get the afc East back as a primary goal, cuz if he was serious about the SB, I think he would be going for Watson or Wilson. IMO , Cam does not have the arm talent any longer, and he struggled intellectually with the Pats O. No one is like Brady , but Cam lacks the personality traits to excel under BB’s system where every player is treated somewhat negatively. Compare that to the culture Mcd has created in B Lo , where every player is treated as a special individual, where everyone wants to see each other thrive, to be the best version of themselves. You rarely see Mcd focus on the negative; every guy resigned stated how they loved the culture , Mcd, Beane. BB is breaking phones and cam continues to sulk on the bench at times. Just not a great fit for how BB operates,but maybe the best stopgap for one more year. One thing is certain, BB has money to throw around this year and plenty of picks , so it appears he is aggressively changing the roster more so than any time during Tb12’s last few seasons. He’s going after bigger names unlike just filling in pieces like before. I bet they grab a qb to sit behind Cam this year via the draft. It’s just different than before when the pats would be quiet in FA, trade back in the draft, etc. It’s like an angry spending spree, like an ex wife getting back at you with maxing your credit card just cuz you had a business trip with your office manager! ( no not me, my ex had an “ appointment “ with another doc while I was stuck in the hospital in my residency on call 24 hours every third day! When I filed for divorce a female judge awarded my ex 3 years of alimony so she could “get back in the work force”, no kids involved and we were only married two years ! I LOVE our court system, lawyers, etc,,,not bitter at all, hardly remember 40 year later😂)Sorry, I digress. Bill seems pissed and looks like he is determined to fix his roster quickly. The image of him breaking that phone after an ill fated challenge is emblematic of how driven he appears to be at this moment ! Btw we just re upped matakavich ( sp, Lb) as Beane continues to look like a master of reason spending with frugality ! Bet wishes BB, I hope your spree continues because no matter what, this year you still have a qb NOT ASCENDING! 😎. Go Bills!

These are great points. He was good on kickoffs tho he apparently lost enough to never break one and in two (Tenn for one) games he was terrible with taking the ball out deep from the endzone and we started inside our 20 and even the 10 once or twice. So that part I think we can break even by just starting at the 25. BUT he was great on punt returns. Guy never dropped the ball and more importantly he always caught it before it hit the ground. Tasker has stated he was taught by Marv if you let it bounce you are usually starting at an average of 20 yards closer to your own goal line. That’s huge as those 20 yards really decrease the percentage of your team scoring a td. I watched this over the years after hearing taskers emphasis on not letting punts hit the ground and it’s shocking how many guys let it bounce and roll! Roberts was sure handed and he was always in position to catch the ball. Possibly more important than an occasional chance to take one to the house.That’s what I hope whomever replaces him understands.Fielding the ball gave our O a statistically grea5er chance to score tds and was a vital part in averaging 29 Points a game. Roberts usually made great decisions, while speed from a younger player may not make up for that loss of pro bowl decision making. May be our first impactful loss this off-season, maybe more so than brown, as we went 5-0 while he was injured. Roberts , not brown , was a pro bowler for a reason.
