    That team needs targets downfield for that offense. He can open up their playbook. Let's hope he can latch on and have some great games against everyone but the Bills 

     

    it's his 5th team in 5 years--he's not opening playbooks...

     

    this dude was the 34th pick in the draft.

    Of course it's not at the Texas or Georgia level 

     

    But I wouldn't say it's bad football...

     

    I still scout HS ball in the mid Atlantic region from NY and PA to NJ and Delaware to Maryland and you will see a mixed bag from top 25 nationally to not great 

     

    Don Bosco and Bergen are terrific in NJ .. but not all is that level 

     

    5A 6A Texas and Georgia ball , that just breeds a higher level competition.. 

     

    Having more schools, smaller divisions does water down the competition a bit and spread out the talent 

     

    Compared to super teams you see in Texas or Georgia 

     

     but even Iona prep has put out a good amount of division 1 football players The last 5 years... That is a good football program .. there's a reason why they are number one in the state

     

    Agree

    Have you ever watched C football in New York?

     

    That's not great high School football 

     

    Iona has a kid going to North Carolina there's literally 150 New York schools who don't have one player of that caliber 

     

    You're comparing it to Texas ball or big time Pennsylvania ball or Georgia football yeah it's not that level 

     

    New York at that level is still better than 20 States


    it would make no sense to compare any top NY high school team to 150 other NY schools. The topic here is the game pitting the top 2 Catholic schools. 
     

    the fact that Iona has a kid headed to NC doesn’t mean the quality of the game was better. But yes comparing to Texas or Georgia etc is what I was getting at.  It’s not at that high school level…

    You left out Connecticut ….they steal away the top talent up there too.

     

    I live in Orange County NY and we lose all our top kids in the area to Don Bosco 

     

    True.  My point was that the Catholic league schools downstate have to compete a lot harder for top players because of the number of schools. Iona hardly has a monopoly on them.

    Congratulations you're  AAA School playing AA 

     

    The fact any Monsignor Martin team has won in the last 15 years shows your AAA teams are overrated

     

    Monsignor Martin teams are doing it with less funding half the amount of students 

    That's crazy to call it mediocre when there's probably 8 FCS football players 

     

    And a few FBS lol

     

    Their states that don't have 5 division one football players in the entire state

     

    That Iona versus Saint Francis game has like I said probably seven or eight FCS guys and two or three FBS guys

     

    And probably two dozen guys that will play division 2 or division 3 football 

     

    That's not mediocre bro

     

    I watch the games. This game wasn't great HS football.

    They have a lot of NIL money 👀

    I’m from Westchester County……my son actually played 7v7 with and against a lot of kids from Iona Prep……they are definitely paying a car payment, rent payment etc over there. 👀

     

    No different than in Western NY. There's far more competition (teams from the City, Westchester, Northern Jersey) for top local players downstate than upstate.  It's not like Iona or other City Catholic League teams are pulling talent away from Buffalo NY.

     

    Having said that, watching the game yesterday, the quality of football at this highest level is pretty mediocre.

    Well, our game on Thursday was pretty depressing. But it gave us the chance to watch some relatively stress-free games on Sunday and Monday night. 

     

    And I have to say... I came away feeling a little better. There is NO dominant team in the NFL this year, no team that I feel we couldn't beat on our day.

     

    Every contender who played showed major limitations or looked vulnerable, with one exception--the Rams. But if we play the Rams it means we made it to the Super Bowl.

     

    If we get some guys back (Kincaid, Oliver, Brown) by January, we could go on a run.

     

    I would love for the Pats to get the number one seed and then get knocked off immediately by us or the Chiefs. Watching them struggle against Flacco and the Bengals sure didn't scare me. And they're getting banged up, too.

     

    Now, of course, the Bills would have to improve a lot to make a run this year, for sure... but if they can put it together there's no team that it looks impossible for them to beat.

     

    "NO dominant team"?

     

    The Rams are absolutely that. #1 Defense and have averaged 33 PPG on Offense past 5 weeks with the front runner for MVP behind Center.

    Would love more than anything to knock these idiots out of the playoffs.  

     

    That will be very hard for the Bills to do.  NE has a 3 game lead over them and they have Jets, Giants and Miami still to go.

     

    Not sure what the impact of these O-line injurues will have--it's not a very good line to begin with: Maye has taken a beating behind it all year, 3rd in sacks.

    People say McDermott is too aggressive chasing points 

     

    But when he punted it against the dolphins on our own 30 yard line in the first quarter people said he was soft

     

    He's damned when he's aggressive and he's damned when he's not

     

    both decisions can be bad ones (they are easily identified as so) independent of eachother.

     

    he's always been a bit of a bonehead on gameday.

    I agree, he never really translated... plus I am still pissed he wouldnt even give us an interview when he was the hot NFL Head coaching commodity out of Oregon.

     

    He never translated as an NFL HC....yet you were (and still are???) pissed he didn't interview in Buffalo?

     

    holy cow

     

     

  10. They have the League's #1 Defense in points allowed and that Offense absolute abused, nay--PANTSED--the "2 Defense" last night.  I could not believe what I was watching.  On their first 2 possessions, they passed 17 times, ran twice, 2 TDs.   They were just passing at will and Bucs D could do absolutely nothing.
