  1. I'm hoping the knowledgable TBD analysts can shed some light on this. Seems to me that the Brady and the Patriots* have made a decent living with an extremely short passing game. Some of the early criticism of EJ is that he won't go down the field (he has the ability, clearly). Is it possible for the offense to progress with a shorter game? Where's the line between dink and dunk and checking down? Thanks in advance for your insight.

  2. It can't hurt, IMO, to have the extra muscle, simply in terms of staying on the field. Anything else? Who knows if it will help.

    I agree. He's going to get knocked around in the pocket and take some shots when he's running in traffic. I hope that his off-season program involved strengthening his knees, because they are going to take some (intentional, see also Belichick,* Pats*) shots as well. Not direct hits, but fists and forearms as a DL is going to the ground beneath Cyrus' massiveness.

  3. All the drug arrests and drag racing and "searching for a leader" made me nostalgic for that 9-7 season full of yelling, fistfights, and 34 saying we needed an upgrade at QB. We lost the Divisional, and you all know what happened next.

     

    One can only hope that out of Wilson's passing, new ownership, Dareus' antics, and a chippy TC, we will see the team coalesce and return to the playoffs.

     

    I'm all for a season full of bickering and Ws.

  4. The Niagara name has meaning north of the border and if it brings access to corporate support, you do the deal and then have to worry no longer about the financial footing of the team. I'd take that deal.

    When they changed the name from "Boston Patriots" to "New England Patriots*", the sun actually came up in the East the next morning. There were upset people, but they got over it and now it is a regional team. I'd take the deal, too. That buffalo logo on the helmet will be the enduring connection to Buffalo and the franchise's history. Check the merchandise--most of it either has the buffalo logo on it or "Bills." While they are in the region, whether the geographical name "makes sense" or not is irrelevant.
