Captain Caveman

I've heard several commentators talk about how this coaching staff tries to develop every player on the roster down to the practice squad guys, and note that that specifically didn't happen with past administrations. I see it on the field too. If Fromm didn't work out, it's not because the Bills didn't try to develop him. It also doesn't mean they were going to hand him the job, he had to beat out his competition like everyone else on the roster, and he didn't.

I was responding to someone who said it was a wasted pick, because they were "never" going to develop him. Players don't work out all the time, it doesn't mean the team didn't do their due diligence or it's a result of incompetence.

How exactly do you know their plans for Fromm? Do you really think they drafted him planning on not trying to develop him?!

The first one was almost certainly on Allen, I don’t know how Diggs could have been where Josh put the ball. The 2nd one is on Darryl Williams. Let’s hope they can start to put it together this half.

Bad (or at least uneven?) Josh is still hanging around

Alright, c’mon let’s fling it around a bit here.

Knox had a clear path to a td on the play where Allen scrambled for the first.

IMO it all hinges on Josh returning to form. If he goes back to making good decisions and throwing with accuracy, we can (and on most days should) beat any team in the league. If he plays like he did Sunday and against Jacksonville, we may not win many more games this year.

He was plenty bad yesterday before the rain started.

Yesterday was bad. Josh was really bad, like missing open receivers, not seeing open receivers, zinging balls that required touch and lobbing balls that required zing. I hope he figures out how to play well and with consistency, because we're not going anywhere if he plays anything like he did yesterday. Also - I thought Daboll did a good job of designing plays to hide the O Line's issues, there were a lot of plays designed to move the pocket and Josh usually had a little time (not a lot, but should have been enough.) Re: everyone standing all game, I feel like that's been how it is for a long time. It sucks for people with mobility issues, I'm not sure how to address it, but I would recommend anyone in future with issues to look at ADA seating. Last, my son had his first visit to Hammer's Lot and Pinto Ron yesterday - we had a mostly good day, even with the bad weather and worse football. https://www.instagram.com/p/CWjs6mTMocV/

I still had this thread open from before I went to the game today, and don't want to read anything about anything here, but I will say it was fun watching Marshawn and Fred joke around before the game today.

I don't remember Pittsburgh or Washington games being wet (other than maybe a little drizzle?)

Doesn't really make sense for a team with a good to very good offense. Now, if I'm the Lions, maybe I'd consider a 3rd (but why not just use it on a player that can help make first downs so you don't need to punt.)

Never mind, no longer available.

It happens often enough that you can't really make that a staple of your offense.

I feel like GB is a good spot for him, maybe takes some heat off Rodgers.

This reminds me of the age old question, could Jesus microwave a burrito so hot he himself couldn't eat it?

The NHL figured it out.

Hollister back to the Bills next?

Did you know in 1999 he was also 23 in his 4th season?

He has to score first But yeah I'm on team Bjork.

Wow, I don't expect them to keep that up all season but it would be amazing if they do.

The way I'm reading this is that Allen was a source, and in a trade off, Schefter basically allowed him to review the story in case there was anything incorrect or misrepresented. I don't think anyone would be surprised that Schefter is operating like this. I feel like Deadspin's old motto - "Sports News Without Access, Favor, or Discretion" was a direct shot across the bow at Schefter and guys like him.

With the sorry group of offenses we're about to go against, I have a feeling his DROY stock is only going to go up. Not sure if he can overtake Micah Parsons or Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, but he should have a shot. After Tenessee we have a bye, then it's: Miami Jacksonville NY Jets Indianapolis New Orleans New England Tampa Bay Carolina New England Atlanta NY Jets I have a feeling our Defense will finish the year first in most categories, and it may not be close.
