If Hyde is the RB2 then who is RB1?

True enough.

This is true, although Anderson and McCarron are not nearly as good as Taylor so there is a trade off. Players who were better and fit the current pass happy scheme, like McCown, Keenum and Bridgewater, were available

They have been played very well but I can't discount what you are saying. With the game on the line and a chance to win it with a stop, they allowed an 84 yard drive in the final two minutes. I was positive that they were going to get the stop and maybe you can blame the PI call, but a great defense makes that stop and wins the game. Right now they are very good but need to take one more step to get to the top.

Dick Jauron strikes again!

The both stink. Bring back Roman.

The Jets had a nice off season. Of course it will mean nothing if Darnold doesn't pan out.

I just can't feel bad for the poor billionaire owners when tax payers won't give them free land and/or free money for facilities improvements. Sorry. I'm not opposed to this happening but I think it should be evaluated on a case by case basis and there should be no expectation that it will happen on the part of the owners or league.

TT, or any veteran QB that could start this season while Allen learns, as was originally planned by everyone, would definitely help Allen because he wouldn't get killed while sitting back in the pocket like a deer in the headlights. If you don't see the connection there then I don't know what to tell you.

Let me just review the time line for all of this, so I understand. The Bills traded away an experienced, albeit mediocre, QB before they had any concrete alternative in place. They picked up a guy as their "bridge" who was the last FA QB to be signed and had a very limited track record having only started a handful of games. They then selected his competition to start, trading their new "bridge" away for peanuts. This was done even though it left them with 3 combined starts of experience on the roster and the new projected starter had played horribly the season before. After this starter bombs (again), they decide they have to start a rookie, who everyone (including the coaches) had been saying needed time to develop before he was thrown out there so that he didn't lose his confidence, develop bad habits or worst of all get injured. The rookie struggles so the decide that they need a veteran after all, so they sign a guy out of retirement who hasn't played a snap in forever. The hoped for franchise QB, whom they traded everything that wasn't nailed down to get, is injured and rumored to be facing surgery. Starting options include the above mentioned mediocre, over-the-hill veteran and a player who has completely bombed whenever he's taken the field. At every one of the points above a different decision by the coaching staff could (and probably would) have improved the situation both for the short term record and the long term health and development of Allen. So I'm baffled as to how you can say that things wouldn't have been better if they'd handled them differently.

How is Allen developing now that he's injured and on the bench? Maybe facing surgery per this report: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/bills-losing-the-locker-room-with-nathan-peterman-josh-allen-reportedly-facing-tommy-john-like-injury/ You might say that's bad luck but throwing him out there unprepared makes an injury more likely, IMO. That was part of the reason to have a reliable short term starter for a year or so: to get Allen ready.

Especially if Anderson bombs, which is quite possible.

They’re just not focusing on it or committed to it. Plain and simple.

I think it would be wise to wait until after Sunday's game before saying that Anderson can play as well as Taylor. I'm skeptical that's the case. Strange. I thought I remember him playing like crap last season when he got a chance to start. Plus, he was a 5th round pick for a reason. I think they had plenty of reasons to be skeptical about Peterman. They just chose to ignore them.

The amazing thing about this perspective is that Nate Peterman has probably gotten more opportunities than any 5th round QB in history. He’s bombed horribly. Now he just needs a 5th opportunity? ?

Who are the FA QBs? That's the list they need.

? Ya think? Insightful analysis.

Don't get too upset. Just another one of the guys looking for any excuse to attack other posters. Peterman plays well- other posters are &#@!'s for not believing in him. Peterman plays badly- other posters are %$#@'s for "wanting him to fail."

But my question is: Is that penalty proportionate to the foul?

What about PIs that are 50 yard penalties and put the ball at the one yard line with 1 minute left to play? A penalty that 9 times out of 10 decides the game.

The implication by Rodak that White didn't play well against Hopkins is absurd. He obviously didn't watch the game but tweets like he knows what happened.

You mean you would be disheartened watching a pick six to lose the game after you just made a goal line stand?

I literally laughed out loud when I heard that. I mean if that doesn't fall into the "no kidding" category then what does. Very insightful.

It's all a matter of perspective. I saw 2nd and goal from the 6 as 3 straight runs from a power formation, but we got 2 passes and a FG instead.

Props to Tredavious White. It's nice to have a lock down corner. The defense has most of the pieces it needs.
