this boards been saying it for several years but I recall watching them in the big game despite having a shaky qb and injured star rb. I’m not saying model after everything they do but maybe there’s some sense to it. things probably hit the fan when their qb contract catches up to them and he’s not great... but if he does step up they will be relatively fine.

I’d venture they plan on signing him.

If you think they are late picks and he helps make at least 1 of them land in the 30s I would say there’s an argument plenty go for more. what’s a late 1 this year plus another late 1 get you moved up to in the draft? Teens, roughly? plenty of corners go top 10 and it’s not a stretch to argue that getting a proven guy offsets some of the cash compared to drafting

I think they been told to stick with the call unless horribly egregious at a major moment but unfortunately if you don’t know the standard as a coach it’s costing you timeouts/challenges to learn and who wants to risk that (especially at a big moment). it feels like you just have to let the booth make the call inside 2 mins and ignore the rest

it was a happy post enjoying Pancho getting a cool recognition and you made it about your back and forth with specific posters. I’ll suggest just enjoy the happy moment and save your battles for elsewhere but you do you I guess and if you want to hit pancho threads as call out opportunities I won’t comment on it further

Your ability to force him as a divisive issue instead of allowing people to have their own opinions is a bit embarrassing and likely against all that he seemed to stand for. good job.

I haven’t seen today’s yet, but I’m comfortable standing by saying part of the issue is expectations from folks that don’t see a lot of non bills games. The bye week is notorious. in this case I’m guessing a lot of folks were expecting super human and got a normal decent young QB. In the context of that being his “bad day” and not his “good day” I think it speaks volumes to the player he is- even in a thread like this. hes got plenty to prove with longevity still but until 273, 3 TD and 1 int becomes the high water mark instead of a low water mark, he’s in pretty great shape

the expectations for mahomes have gone crazy too. Nearly 300 yards 3 TD and an int would be a breakout game here and it’s getting called an egg there

it’s not even that interesting. We are playing the nfc east

or simply matchups, some luck in play calls or any given Sunday are all factors.

I’m not sure ground and pound with great defense is what comes to mind for houston. I didn’t see today’s game yet though.

I enjoy that page 1 included both that WRs are a dime a dozen in the draft and that Duke might preclude us from adding a top prospect (how fast the Foster lesson is forgotten)

it’s one thing to worry about the particular player/injury but globally it’s a strategy we should pursue

Now is the only time you can make those moves. Once you are paying him $35m a year you can’t anymore. that is the entire point. but that’s the entire point, again. You are looking for 3 year type of deals that come off the books when you have to pay Allen, tre, etc...

says the bills fan

please calculate for other teams so it has context

Any team has trouble if both a starter and backup go down hopefully singletary would be healthy but underscores the need for a variety and depth of weapons on offense. Especially before your qb is an established distributor of the ball. no one carries 20 a game these days. That’s 320 carries. zeke barely broke 300 and was like 40 carries over saquon. Only like 7-8 guys even hit 240 (ie 15 per carry)

You should take better care of your feet

At this point it ultimately comes down to a simple question do you believe the refs should hold their flags unless it’s an egregious violation and “let em play” or do you think the flag comes out on anything borderline

can we just sign their top wr for league minimum annually and solve all our problems?!?

If he’s doing multiple nights keep an eye out for a juke joint concert at some point. Bar none, hands down, by a wide margin the coolest event I’ve been to.

It did move up 5 yards since then but I swear kickers have like 10 yards more range these days too

I think any play but the final of the game they likely throw a flag. That’s not saying I think it was illegal- honestly I’ve waffled- but I think the optics get a flag in the second quarter of a game in September. In january with the game ending play I think short of it being OBVIOUS the refs decided to let a team make a play there. And one team decided to make good on the opportunity while the other did decidedly the opposite.

Kicking out of the end zone was far less common. Kickers have come very far in the last 20-30 years.

So you think he’s among the fastest wide receivers (really fastest players) in the league with 4.3 speed?
