  1. In retrospect - we all knew that Allen had the least "coaching" coming into the draft. Looking back at his combine video, it's evident how much he's physically improved too. His 40 time was respectable at 4.76, but his form is terrible and he looked heavier than he is now. Had he received top level training at Wyoming, I think his measurables would have been that much better and set himself apart even more than he did.
  2. Drafting Whitner of Ngata was pretty widely hated as was taking Maybin over Orakpo
  3. If that's their one trick, they seem to have a very short shelf life. Defenses and injuries catch up.
  4. I was Darnold, Allen, Mayfield, Rosen........ Jackson Darnold was the best pedigree,. Allen the best fit for us but a raw project. Baker was a winner, but I thought he was too small. Rosen was a concussion away from retirement and Jackson was a gimmick. Jackson has been the biggest surprise, though I didn’t expect Allen to be the creator that he’s been.
  5. I said the same thing - I think it was the way the TV timeouts fell along with some penalties. Every time there'd start to be momentum, there was a stoppage. It just never seemed like the game got into a flow until the fourth quarter. That and the sound system at the stadium was terrible yesterday (guessing the wind was impacting it) and the jumbo-screens on the tunnel end never showed the replays. I also blame the high powered extreme dog stunt show for sucking all of the energy out of the crowd at halftime. There's only so many cheers fans can give... and those dogs took more than their share.
  6. How is it any different than a QB taking a knee? He gave himself up, the ref called the play dead. You don't need to be touched.
  7. Exactly what did he acknowledge? The email started with "I jack my d$%@ on your back !" For all we know she may have told him she was pregnant, and this email is simply a denial of that possibility. Without the full context of the conversation leading up to that e-mail, we know very little. It will all shake out in the end (no pun intended). I hope which ever side is lying gets held accountable for their actions.
  8. Darnold looked like a better QB last year - Bell is better than our backfield - Their WRs are at least a push.... I can understand where the pundits are coming from. We have a lot of new pieces that have to gel quickly. Lets just hope that they're saying something different by our second meeting.
  9. Pure power move from the GM - "You think you're worth so much... go find me a team that thinks you're value is as high as you do." When Gordon's agent can't produce a team willing to give up a 1st and he's burning paychecks, he'll see the light and come play this year and walk in the off season.
  10. I believe for donating the Boys and Girls Club you need to give them up at least 3 days in advance. Compared to selling StubHub for next to nothing after fees, it's a good deal, because you get the full value as a tax write off, assuming you pay taxes.
  11. I wouldn't switch teams, but I'd drop my season tickets if they went to a PSL of any consequence. I drive 3.5 - 4 hours each way. It's more about camaraderie with my friends than the game experience. If collectively we were faced with spending $20,000 each to keep our seats - we'd be hard pressed not to find another way to hang out. A hunting camp with an NFL package would work just fine.
  12. I think we're seeing signs that his old helmet hasn't performed adequately.
  13. As a season ticket holding father of 7 and soon to be 3 year old children - take them to a preseason game. They're really only going to care about the pre-game activities, the field house and eating. Once the game starts, their day is largely over. Leave at halftime if they're ready, and don't give a second thought about it.
  14. I'd go with Sam Gash or Nate Odomes - either will make the Red Sea part when it's time to belly up, but are subtle enough to avoid awkward high fives while handling your business.
  15. I have Bryce Paup and Chris Spielman - each commands supreme respect at the urinal trough.
  16. What would happen if NE didn't submit it's pick on Thursday night for the 32nd pick at the end of it's allotted time? Could Cleveland submit it's pick even though it's not technically on the clock until Friday? It just seems like a NE-esque move to give themselves and extra day to work out a trade back. We've seen it happen mid round in the past, and you simply lose your spot in line while other teams rush up to make their pick...but between rounds, I'm not sure.
  17. We are in the air between Dallas (original plan), Nashville and Miami.
  18. It was only a rivalry in our eyes... The rest of the leagues sees it as two thumpings.
  19. They’ll get at least a second for him. Someone will miss out on their QB in this draft, and they’ll deal their second assuming last year’s 1st rd QB is better than what they can get in the 2nd this year.
  20. Take your top 9 guys at positions we are realistically going to draft... at least one of them will be there and more likely than not 3 or more will be there. Don't overthink this. I only think Metcalf comes into play if we somehow trade back a few spots. There are many other upside players with less risk at 9. My current list in no particular order: Quinnen Williams, Bosa, Allen, Sweat, Gary, Wilkins, Taylor, Oliver, Hodkinson
  21. Beane has filled a lot of holes with free agency. He's said it before -t he Bills are drafting for difference makers. I don't think they trade down just for the sake of getting more picks.
  22. Very little downside at the right price.
  23. I think teams look at him as fool's gold. His career has been pretty disappointing up until this season, when he was the #1 target in Oakland. His blocking is below average and it sounds like he wants to be paid as a top TE.
  24. Statistically I can’t imagine a scenario where he doesn’t improve from last year... but will he produce at top 5-10 level (I have my doubts). If there was an option to completely shed Shady’s money this year, I think Johnson can be just as productive as a pass catcher with Gore being the pound guy.
