Happy Birthday. Proud to have you as an owner of the sports teams I've loved since childhood.

I used to really like what Talbot and his group were doing but they've been a disappointment lately. I know a lot of you get upset with me and say things like "what's the off season for if you can't speculate" but I can't stand when these guys actually think they are already correct about predicting the future. Say things like I think or it appears or you would think but these idiots say downgrade - as if they have the ability to know what hasn't happened. Flunkies, IMO

I actually hope this league succeeds.

How exactly does a 5 year player become a poor mans anything of a 2 year player? This is one whack take.

Our enemies are laughing at us as we hate each other over all this crap.

Yep. There's no debate just pure hatred for the opposing side/view. It's been escalating and escalating and now will be our full blown demise. I wonder what warned us about that.....

some people...

Thanks - good info

Good point

I agree

Tyrod did do enough to stay - he can absolutely play NFL football. He just didn't do enough to have a QB drafted to replace him. Then it came down to him not passing enough, the opportunity to get a draft pick and the $18 mil he would have made.

Still can't believe Kelly forced the team to go with red helmets.

Wow. I use that app almost everyday.

No

Let the players do something that's upsetting a significant amount of customers?

I love U S and A

I had no idea Daboll was from Buffalo.

Kidding

I guess he doesn't have as strong an arm as everyone thought. If you can't overthrow any receiver on the roster - there's going to be a ton of balls that come up short or get picked off.

With respect that you've put in some time watching Allen - it's flawed because there isn't even a reliable metric to translate it to the NFL. You know there's been plenty of QB's with great tape in college that didn't make it and as many with ok tape in college that have made it. Tape lies - that's true. Additionally we're not privy to all the information and I'll give you an example: There's been many times I've seen an INT or incompletion and said "what the heck is the QB doing", then the replay shows the WR slipped a little in his break and it wasn't the QB's fault - or later I found out the WR ran the wrong route. There's just so much we don't know even when watching the game. You can't just watch Allen's games and say tape is first and potential is not first. I just find it to be incredibly unreliable.

Completely agree. I think it'll be significantly better.

I think he does. He just won a wrestling title at 285 as a senior in high school.

I agree that can also be a part of it. With experience a better flow in terms of game time readiness should happen.

Yeah, I think that's certainly part of it. I still think you're underestimating the instinct aspect. I liken it to speed - you can't learn speed. You can get faster but there's a natural talent to fast people. I think quick thinking is a trait.

I know what you mean. IMO, he's been a decent TE on a team with down right horrible passing statistics. I just don't know how much more production we should have expected to this point. He's not great but I'm just not as down on him as others.
