    This is all pretty much true, but there is just something missing from Herbert.

    Nothing wrong with being calm and laid back but you have to have some dawg in you, and I have yet to see any in that boy.

    I'm far from a Herbert apologist, but he certainly gutted it out with the rib cartilage injury last season. He was wincing and grabbing his ribs after every throw, but it didn't keep him from ripping it. Not necessarily a killer instinct, but certainly tough and his teammates probably have a huge amount of respect for him for it.

    He's been in-line to get the job for years?

     

    He's 37 years old and got his first coaching gig as Inside Linebackers coach in 2019.

    Maybe he can bring in Nate Hackett as OC when the jets fire him. Nate can relay the secret to his success in a similar situation...

    I still thing for the foreseable future they are a problem and do win a division while being competitive, BUT Hill is aging, they have to pay Tua, and their cap isn't great. The time with Tua still being cheap was the last two years, now like every other QB who gets paid it puts more of the onus on him and they could have regret 2-3 years down the road.

    If they were smart they would go with Tua’s fifth year option and draft a smart college QB with limited arm talent to see what someone like that would look like with those weapons in training camp before committing big money to Tua. I’m hoping they commit to Tua long term instead, because as soon as they do they won’t be able to continue to afford the type of weapons that he needs to be successful.

    You're not wrong.

    But let's just say that at 6-5 and with roadies against Philly and KC on deck, not a lot of people were lining up in agreement with me on my prediction of a playoff berth.

    I’ll admit, after Philly I verbally stuck a fork in them… I did concede that if they beat KC and Dallas that I thought they’d run the table, I just didn’t think there was a chance in hell the way they were playing that they’d beat both KC and Dallas.

    The phins always seem to have a bunch of laugher opponents in a row while other teams are playing tough games so they build up a kind of artificial division lead that everyone overreacts to. Their 3 game lead was really more of a 1.5 game lead because there’s just no way they were beating Baltimore.  Baltimore has that Shanahan system figured out.  It only took one slip up against Tennessee or losses to Dallas and Baltimore and it was game on 

    Also, their home weather advantage only lasts through October… not a coincidence that their grandiose hopes fade around the same time.

    I know there will be no hiding it from them but in a different world where you could control it do you tell them the outcome? Do you let them know they're guaranteed to make the playoffs? Do you not tell them to make them feel the pressure? Maybe if they know they play more loose?

    In an ideal world, I still tell them. I think it pumps them up and I think they’d play loose being this is the first game in a month and a half with the pressure being off. I also think Miami knowing the Bills are in and they’re banged up is going to have the Dolphins playing tentatively, so it’s another opportunity to steamroll them and send a message in the event they meet them in a few weeks.

    We don’t owe anyone anything! After what we have been through the last couple of years we circled the wagons and deserve to have the opportunity to get the two seed. 

    If Tennessee didn’t beat Miami tonight’s game wouldn’t matter.

    I disagree. But I also think how productive Johnson has been is overstated.

     

    But this should be for Murray. Who has had a great career but looks every inch his 107 years old at the moment.

    I was going to take you to task for embellishing just a wee bit… then I realized you were just using RB years… kinda like dog years. 
     

    At least they didn’t re-sign Methuselah… I mean Frank Gore.

    It'll be a sad and dreary place to be. Filled with unhinged posts and irrational drunken rants. It's therapy for some people. This the equivalent of the shrink's couch with no co-pay.

    ...I guess... if you're unfortunate enough to go to a shrink that inflames your worst impulses, douses you in gasoline, spins you around like a top and then gives you a shove towards the nearest bonfire. 🤷‍♂️

  10. I used to watch the games in a Kyle Williams jersey and my favorite beat-up faded red Bills cap. Only washed them after a loss. Didn't work this season so I stopped wearing them. After a few more games, I decided that all of my Bills swag is cursed this season so I stopped wearing anything on gameday after the Broncos game...

     

    Bills related, that is... I may be a superstitious fool, but I'm no exhibitionist... :lol:

    He is a system QB that requires a LOT around him to look good. 

     

    If he has to carry a team, forget it.

     

    So sure, you can win with him but at some point it just becomes a lot to overcome when things have to near perfect for him to succeed. Easier to get Allen or Mahomes that can make things happen even when they aren't perfect.

    At the moment, he's a system QB on a rookie contract so they can still afford to put a lot of talent around him... that will soon change.
