You're right that have a couple "purposely" bad teams won't make a dent. The NFL always has a couple really, really bad teams. The Browns haven't been tanking. They've just been incompetent. The NBA is totally different animal (warning: I don't follow the NBA). Unless you can draft Peyton Manning, you're unlikely to have a player *worth* tanking. The NFL Draft is entirely different than the NBA, MLB or NHL. Also, if Miami turns it around..it's not the "tanking" to get the first overall pick that's really going to be the catalyst. It would be the trades to stockpile early round picks. The "benefit" of tanking in the NFL isn't getting the 1st overall pick. It's getting a flurry of picks and cap space.

He's not good. He wasn't good with the raiders last season and has been a tire fire for the Jets. The Jets benched him. It had nothing to do with an injury. He's also not signed for "years". He's signed through next year and the Jets can cut him this offseason to free up over 11 million in cap room. The Jets do not have a ton of space. Currently, they will be 24th in free cap space. Now, they're not in a *bad* cap position because they can cut a lot of guys like Osmele to free up room.

Are they? Maybe when your team struggles against them. A lot of fans enjoy their team blowing out another team. Regardless, how is Miami worse than the Lions or the Browns though? Jets? Washington? In fact, Miami almost beat a team on a trajectory for the playoffs last week. There's also the problem that it doesn't work. Miami getting the #1 overall pick doesn't guarantee anything. It's not even likely that getting the #1 overall pick registers an impact. There's no tangible problem here. It's a bunch of noise from some people who don't "like" it.

He was paid well beyond the next player at his position. He played well for 1 half of football and the whispers are he's done for the season with his groin. Otherwise, this doesn't look good for the Jets and I seriously question what benefit they get out of taking this stance with the player even though I think what the Jets are saying is true. The point is..even if it *is* true..your best case scenario is getting a guy back who doesn't want to be there and you benched because he sucked. Eat the loss, let him have the surgery and find a new team in the offseason. Also, the notion that this will cause problems with free agents is silly. Free Agents will almost always go where the money is best.

Tanking Exists. The tanking "problem" doesn't.

Oh, look, a bad solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

Don't get me wrong, I love Allen, but the questioning of Goff based on his play this season started weeks ago and is only growing. So I'm not sure that the stats of a QB that people are saying is proving he's not a franchise player are the best way to pump up another player with similar stats.

Well, if you like watching train wrecks..get ready because this is how you get train wrecks

Never heard of him until your post giving him attention which it's his job to get attention so good job on helping someone you think is incompetent be better at their job.

It's tough to say. The entire NFL has been extremely sloppy this season. Even the "Can't miss" teams like the Chiefs, Patriots, Rams, etc don't look like well oiled machines.

You do realize I've been criticizing Allen? Had you reviewed any of my posts you'd see that I've been quite critical of Allen's play and Daboll's playcalling. It makes you look very silly. I'm sorry you're upset, but posts like this don't get your point across. They make you seem overly emotional about how much insight you have and that if all these stupid people would just listen then they'd see the truth too. If you like, I'm available for posting coaching, but given the work required with you...it's going to be around $800/hour.

Again, you rarely, if ever, actually add anything worthwhile to your posts. I know you think you're a 'realist' calling it like it is...but you're not. You're not making anyone aware of some 'secret' that they all fail to see. Add some actual analysis to your posts and you'll go far.

There's not much to sweat about at this point. They need two scores and used their timeouts.

to be fair, you're not critical. You just whine a lot and it's not helpful for those of us who are actually critical of the team and try to make a point. Maybe you're just emotional and can't explain what you see. Maybe you're a Jets fan who just sh*tposts here. I don't know, but nothing about your posts are constructive criticism. If you're a Bills fan, I'd suggest adding some meat to your posts about what you actually see as a problem instead of just "**** sucks" and people wouldn't dismiss you as a fool or troll.

I didn't blame Allen for the first half. That seems to be something you came up with on your own. There's plenty of blame for that. He did not play well in the 1st half. That's not actually in debate.

Never take your foot off the pedal.

I'm a little gunshy on getting tight ends from Miami after the last one

Does pretending he wasn't terrible earlier on actually change history? Granted, I think a lot of it had to do with playcalling as I think Daboll was not calling an offense that played to Allen's strengths.

In the past I haven't been sold on paying some guys on defense like Jairus Byrd or Gilmore. I think the cost of paying them the % of the cap didn't compare to the cost of replacing them. Didn't necessarily trust them to keep performing either. Pay Tre White.

No way they overturn it.

Play calling kinda has to take into account your player's abilities.. In a game that's very much in doubt, close to field goal range...that is not a smart play call.

Amazing that coincides with them running it more..

There may be like 1 person who roots against the team. Most of it is in your own mind.

Running helps everything.

Finally.
