Pats lose in Pittsburg. Only question does Tom make it out of town alive. I think the season is starting to catch up to his 40 year old body.

Yeah. Hobo level disheveled.

Zay went 37, JuJu 62. So doable.

I think the Bills had a pretty good 2017 draft and that bodes well for 2018. If these guys are as good at picking them as they seem to be the team will be much improved, though they do have their work cut out for them. As far as the redo is concerned, I can't imagine passing on Watson at 10. He remains only a prospect to be sure but he has shown enuf to make him standout credibly as a potential franchise guy. You don't pass on that, especially if you are the Bills.

Not sure why QB controversies tend to get so personal for some posters. To me that is neither necessary nor productive. We should be able to assess them more objectively. By now we should have a good idea of what Tyrod brings to the table. An offence designed to play to his strengths can be reasonably productive, but it will likely always have some limitations, one being difficulty in mounting comebacks when once the team falls behind. If complemented with a strong D a Tyrod led team with a smart and creative offensive coordinator (like A. Lynn) is good enuf to make the playoffs. But that is not the model that the current braintrust has in mind or intends to follow, so I have to think Tyrod is on his way out of Buffalo. As for Peterman, we really don't know what we have and it will be awhile before we do. I do feel that he is an intriguing prospect and I certainly want to see more of him. But that has to be taken in context. This team and fanbase has been so starved of good QB play for so long that I'd be equally excited if we had Jacoby Brissett, who despite occasional flashes could soon enough morph into Jacoby Nobody. If we were starting Jimmy Garropolo I'd be positively ecstatic, even though there can be no assurance that he is going to pan out long term. JMO but given the offence we are running I'd rather see Peterman start against Miami if he's healthy.

Not only do I fully support NP but I moved on from Tyrod a long time ago. I don't know (yet) whether NP has enuf of what it takes to be successful but I'm sure he will get his shot and I look forward to seeing him play. He has a bad habit of sliding face first (you may have noticed if you have been paying attention, which I doubt). So yeah I hope this knocks some sense into him. Otherwise he won't be around for long. So go get stuffed already.

Wilson was a baseball player.

Not a day on which you can even begin to evaluate him, unfortunately.

Yeah, typical rookie trying to do too much. Leading with your chin is about as dumb as it gets. And I've seen him do it before. Dude needs to understand the NFL is not Syracuse. Maybe you take that chance in certain situations, but there was no upside to that bonehead move.

On a positive note maybe this will knock some sense into him.

Pagano vs McCoach - the world championship of midget wrestling.

McCoach is a genius!

If he's healthy I think Coach starts Tyrod. If the Bills gameplan on O is for the QB to execute from the pocket I'd rather see Peterman.

Darnold's ceiling is elite and probably more so than any other QB prospect in the 2018 draft. He's been a little inconsistent this year but he's raw even for a college player. Thing is he consistently flashes jaw dropping ability in all of the required skills for playing the all important position at the next level. If he declares for the draft he will probably need two years as the #1 guy before he starts to take charge of games, especially if he goes to a rebuilding team like the Bills. In a best case scenario he'll be like Troy Aikman that way. In a worst case he will never achieve the consistency needed to be a great QB. Rosen is a great fit for a team planning on running a WCO. I'd be delirious if the Bills got either of these guys. Don't see it happening tho.

JuJu's action was an infraction and part of the game. Gronk's was a crime that really has nothing to do with the game of football.

Would love to see Nelson in a Bills uni. Like Dawkins he is incredibly strong. Two issues I guess. Lateral quickness - need to see more of it. And can he play on the right side, because Cogs is good for a couple more years (unless they go for cap savings and decide to part ways). I assume moving over should be an easy adjustment. O line could be one of the best bar none.

At first I thought that the contact was not helmet to helmet and that JuJu made contact with his shoulder in the upper chest area. Had that been the case it would have been a legal block. I saw another replay that showed that it was indeed helmet to helmet - and therefore illegal.

Yeah I remember Ward's hit on the linebacker, but it was to the head (broke his jaw). Not sure I see that on this play (though maybe it was). Didn't think all crack backs were illegal.

I get the taunting penalty but not sure I understand why the block was illegal (though I gather it was). Burfict was in a defenceless posture but I'm not sure watching the replay that JuJu hit him in the head. Looks to me like contact might have been a shoulder high to the chest with no helmet to the head or neck. And JuJu did not "launch". Always had at least one foot on the ground, left foot at contact.

Hopefully his main weapon in the passing game will be back and last longer than the first play from scrimmage.

You mean like the one thing he does better is throw a football? Know what? I'ii take it.

How can you be so sure Peterman sucks?

Rushing to judgement a little perhaps?

I understand your point, and I agree.

Both QBs have had to deal with untimely drops.
