    Thought this would be a fun exercise. We all have opinions on different guys. Instead of using this thread to disagree with someone else’s list, go on record ranking the QBs how you see it as of today. Here’s mine: 
     

    1. Allen

    2. Lamar

    3. Burrow

    4. Mahomes

    5. Daniels

    6. Hurts

    7. Stafford

    8 Baker

    9. Herbert

    10. Dak

    11. Stroud

    12. Goff

    13. Love

    14. Nix

    15. Purdy

    16. Geno

    17. Kyler

    18. Tua

    19. Darnold

    20. Lawrence

    21. Ward

    22 Maye

    23. Rodgers

    24. Caleb Williams

    25. Young

    26. Penix

    27. McCarthy

    28. Fields

    29. Russell Wilson

    30. Richardson/Dimes

    31. Flacco

    32. Shough

    I pretty much agree. I would move up Geno and Purdy, probably in front of Dak and Herbert.

    Seriously?!? I’m 44 (today actually) and have been to a few dozen weddings I’d say. That was the 1st that I’ve ever been to without one (at least that I remember). Keep in mind, I grew up in a big Italian family that loves the vino. 

    I'm in my 80's and the only wedding that I attended with a cash bar was in Potsdam, NY. in the 70's. I understand that was common there at that time.

    This is what steroids do to your body over time, makes one brittle, it’s the price athletes pay for the good years, 

    I'll bet it's their use of weights. Football players seem to get a lot of hamstring pulls. Does anyone remember a basketball player getting a hammie ?

    Kind of surprised how many are so strongly opposed to bringing him in.

     

    Fits Hollins’ role well. Blocker. Field stretcher. Outside WR. Excelled in a WR4 role. Some element of familiarity with OBD and JA17. Does not affect comp pick formula. 
     

    Would it be a bad thing to have six solid WRs? Samuel, Coleman, and Kincaid were each injured last year. 

    What was his time in the 40 ?

    For me personally.

     

    safety Andre Cisco.  Makes plays on the ball, went to SU and is from Long Island.   He is only 24 years old.  His former DC in Jax is now on the bulls staff.  He becomes the deep/free safety allowing bishop to play near the line and rapp to go back to being the third guy in sub packages.

     

    the problem here is spotrac is speculating Cisco is going to get 4 for 60.  I am not sure the bills are willing to do that at safety.  
     

    I am of the opinion the defense is about to get the same treatment the offense got after the loss to the bengals, be coaches added to the staff and a rebuild on the line of scrimmage.  I think this might make them more willing to spend money at safety because it frees them up on draft day.

     

    my other player is Darius slayton.  He brings the element the bills lack outside and is very explosive.  He has the personality to fit in to the locker room.  He has good size to go along with his speed.  Not much smaller than Higgins.  
     

    signing those two players along with hollins and Gilliam keeps the offense as is and improves it imo.  I don’t think they pay Ty Johnson.

     

    these two signings free them up to attack the defensive line and corner.  Plus if a wr slips to them that they love they can always draft him and make hollins a special teams guy. 
     

     

    We'll pay Ty, definitely.

    It's Colorado.  The players, for the most part are acclimated to cold weather.

    The only thing in question weather wise is Bo Nix, but he played well in Denver yesterday in 30 degrees.

    Bo Nix is the real deal. He played in Oregon so i guess he is ok with the cold weather.

    Travis Hunter is someone that could change the entire direction of your franchise, why would a team give that up?  There aint a QB even close to being a number one overall pick.

    Someone will give up a ton of picks to move up to #1. I think that would be preferable to picking a non QB at #1, imo.

    Do the Bills lose on purpose to try and prevent the Patriots from getting the top pick in the draft?  That would be funny especially if let's the Bills south (see Schoen and Daboll) get the pick instead. 

    Patriots will trade the #1 pick, imho.

    First of all, the priorities now are to win the 1 seed if possible (unlikely), if not then secure the 2 seed (very doable), get through three more games with as few injuries as possible (who knows), and give away as few of Joe Brady's secrets as possible (likely).  Setting obscure records is nothing compared to a Lombardi.

     

    As for no one stopping the Bills offense, I remember the end of the season of the Bills' first SB team.  They were an unstoppable machine.  They won the AFC championship 51-3.  And then the scored only 19 points in the SB.  No one is unstoppable, no one is hopeless.  Just play and win.

    And 2 of the 19 was a safety.

    Absolutely agree. Very well written post. 

     

    I think we are seeing increased hamstring pulls and other soft injuries due to guys not having as much practice time to get into game shape and player emphasis on being built muscularly to the max where all it takes is a little pop or wrong tweak to cause an injury. Guys are too tightly strung due to all the workouts in the gym and such but aren't in game shape. They can run faster 40 times but cant last for a full season. 

     

    Baseball has increasingly emphasized pitchers get more rest between games and pitch less innings even though evidence is coming out it doesn't really prevent injuries. Arm injuries are on the increase despite this measure to try to prevent them and I think it has something to do with pitchers arms not being in shape enough. Japanese pitchers have less injuries than American pitchers do and baseball training in Japan is pretty much military boarding school style where pitchers are throwing all day every day pretty much. When I used to play baseball growing up decades ago, I pitched every game every inning pretty much and used to practice throwing a ball against a barn. Many rural kids did the same. No arm injuries really because we were used to throwing so much. 

     

    What seems to be causing the injuries more so in baseball is people not used to throwing much and then being pushed to throw as hard as possible when they do throw because all the emphasis now is on pitch speed. Go 120% every pitch instead of pacing one self. Pitchers decades ago used to pace themselves more and it led to guys being able to throw 150 plus pitches regularly in a game. Now pitchers are lucky to often hit 80-100 pitches. 

    I agree re: hammies. Is it so prevalent in the NFL because of weights or something similar. I played basketball in HS and college. I can't remember anyone ever getting a hamstring pull. Lots of sprained ankles but no hammies and only a few knee problems.

    But he DID have control when crossing the plane.


    The ball didn’t move until after he was in the endzone.

    I guess you have to define control. The ball moved in his hands. So what. He never lost control and the ball obviously never touched the ground. Receivers often shift the ball around in their possession in order to get a better grip. That doesn't mean that they lost control.

    Good.  One more log on the fire that is the jets.

     

    The only concern about the jets is there last 5 games look like games they can win, if they lose the second game to buffalo they probably can't win the division but still they could turn it on late if they don't crumble.

     

     

    The 3rd place schedule will help them a lot.

    Yes, it was amazing.  Amazing how everything shut down in the second half.  

     

    McDaniel in his press conference was almost totally incoherent talking about Tua.  I don't think he even knows what he's thinking.   He was lost.  

     

    I have trouble seeing a guy with his personality and his overly-analytical style succeeding as a leader of men in this league.   He's an odd guy. 

     

    Anyone else have a lot of trouble with prime.  There were instantaneous freezes throughout the game - either the video or the audio or both stopped for a few seconds.  I had a few total freezes where I had to log out and log back in.  But, of course, all the commercials ran fine.  

     

    Got error code 5004. Wouldn't come in. Watched on local ABC

    If he continued to play the entire season like he did the first 6 weeks, he'd still be here.  Unfortunately he went from catching 74% of his targets early in the year to 61% over the last 13 weeks.  He also dropped a sure fire TD in the playoffs against KC that likely would have won us the game.  Produce and no one cares about your attitude.  Failing to produce and having a bad attitude gets someone traded.

    Does anyone have a video of Diggs' dropped pass in the playoff game ?
