  1. Tyrod is playing well and improving. He is doing what he is being asked to do. No doubt there will be games where he will be asked to do more if we get behind. Hoping he can deliver. When ahead or tight, we are a defense-first ball club for which he is a perfect fit. Moves the chains with feet and arm, and does not turn the ball over.
  2. Our family knows Milano's family. He is a great kid and an absolute student of the game. Completely dedicated. He won't make the same mistakes. And he can fly, should be great in coverage and running sideline-to-sideline. The problem is that while he runs like a safety, he is also about the size of a large safety at 225 listed. I have been watching him closely given the connection (which also makes him my fave), and i think he could be really good, but right now he seems to lack the power to get off NFL blocks. If he had more time to build up his body I believe he would fix that, but it could be tough against the run right now. With his speed, however, he is capable of a lot of splash plays (picks, tackles behind line when he shoots the gap). If you watch his BC highlights you will see that. Good luck Matty!
  3. Gilmore getting killed in Boston Globe. Nice! Washington Post also has a pretty in-depth article saying the big problem with Cheats defense is that teams have figured out how to beat the hooded one's scheme (Google "Patriots Defense" and hit the news drop down). Not even the great Belichek is immune from press attack. What a day.
  4. Zay had his recovery catch. He is now cleared to proceed with his career. He is going to be good eventually.
  5. Conventional wisdom is you DON'T go for it on the road on 4th. Not "ultra conservative" - more by the book.
  6. Every team is throwing a 30+ spot on them every week. If the hooded one don't get it turned right quick Brady is going to get killed trying to pull out every game. Too early to say it with conviction, but we could be best in the East.
  7. I hope he keeps leaving plays on the field in favor of avoiding turnovers. We have a strong D that can be overcome if we turn it over and - I HATE turnovers. I have no problem with picking a QB if they are a good value when we pick. But we sure don't have to EJ again. And if TT fights him off we trade him for two picks. But TT is not merely a placeholder for some savior and it would be very naive to think that. Rooks with the best creds are a 50/50 crap shoot.
  8. Me too. That's why it's different. We ALWAYS lose this game - except now. I had to blink on the 4th down incompletion, then wait for the flag that didn't come, then blink. Then it was just: "oh my goodness. This is impossible."
  9. I also know, without even looking, that Taylor is one of the winningest Bills quarterbacks in 55+ years of mostly suck. Without even looking I will guess he is 3rd in lifetime winning percentage among those with 20+ starts after Kelly and Kemp. Then who? Maybe Flutie is ahead? Can't think of who else would be (as much as I loved Fergie, I am sure he was sub-.500).
  10. I just have to post again 'cause it feels so good. Don't really have anything to add. Wait: Gilly-lock. Blaaaahaaaa!
  11. Err. reins. TT is turning the corner before our eyes. Funny how people hate that.
  12. I love Sammy, but giving guys with his injury history big $$$ is the road to salary cap hell and perpetual suck.
  13. Me too. Tyrod with a great D can win championships. And McDermott can make ours truly great, so he doesn't need another arm in here. I like Peterman as the back-up. When Tyrod hangs it up at 35 or so Peterman will be in his prime still! Watkins! Are we really back to that? Cmon man!
  14. We have a top 5 NFL quarterback in development before our very eyes. Well, maybe top 10 someday. But GOOD ENOUGH! Those picks are going to do a wonderful job solidifying the roster. Sorry haters. But you will enjoy a true #1 receiver, a couple LBs, a couple linemen. We will be BEAST! It is never too early to be happy about 3-1 and first place at the quarter pole!
  15. This is almost too good to be true! When I read the bit above about the Pats fan suggesting they "shoot Gilmore into the sun" I had to spit my coffee back in my cup to keep from choking. Can someone post that picture of Gilmore as a giant piece of burnt toast again? It was on Worthy's twitter - my daughter could not stop laughing. Family and friends - watch me, watch me ! Blahhhhha!
  16. This is so silly the TT supporters should not even get mad at anymore. He is the leader of this team. Absent a major reversal you will be seeing him again next year - with a vastly superior supporting cast.
  17. If allowing the least points don't make you #1 the stat is kinda dumb! Not like our offense has 50 mins of possession.
  18. He was the man. He and Tyrod are in-sync (which I am told does not actually exist). Nice when a couple players play together for a while. Perhaps Clay is a bit healthier with that knee? Looks really good.
  19. Agreed. Isn't that crazy? Imagine when we have money and picks working for us.
  20. And the way he takes care of the ball is winning football. The kind of football that wins championships.
  21. Tyrod is a point guard playing QB. And that is a very good thing.
