Ray Ray should be back on the PS

Tyree is really really bad.

If this means the Bills are planning to hang onto one less O-lineman than many thought, the odds improve that both Williams and McKenzie stick around at WR...

A "never ran" then?

Interesting how?

We're probably going to wind up with a 20-page thread about the trade of a 2nd year 5th round LG who never really made a dent in the NFL as a Buffalo Bill. You gotta love Bills fans. As soon as Bates came in without any practice and looked competent at C -- with versatility to play all positions on the line -- all of the also-rans on Buffalo's roster should have been worried. This trade also signals to me that they aren't worried about Spain being ready for the opener.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe her text implies she doesn't have inside info at all. How do I deduce this? "I may not have all the facts"...

2021 7th is almost worthless. Beane stole from the Brownies again.

This is all you’ve got?

I think that of all the first round QBs who were drafted last year the Bills wound up with the one who is the best fit for them and vice-versa. That's all you can hope for. Go get 'em, Josh.

I have a feeling this game will be the ugliest of ugly. Tyree Jackson isn't ready for an NFL football field and he'll be playing the entire game. I hope no one is killed. In other words...of course I'll be watching.

I'm booing this original post loudly.

Some fans apparently want QBs to be dumb jocks who can’t put two sentences together.

This entire post is so wrong I don’t know where to begin. So I’ll just boo. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO........

May we please have separate threads so we may post our opinions with respect to each gameday opinion thread?

I call this "Scott's Faulty Corollary of Preparedness to Lopsided Loss."

Yes, but the QBs don't face each other, they face the opponent's defense. Anyway, I'm not trying to prove my point to you or any Jests fan. I think the matchups favor Buffalo.

I'm impressed by Rodgers' ability to speak on a wide variety of subjects and not come across like a neanderthal football player. That said, I completely agree with his assessment of fans who booed Luck.

And that's really my point. Where do they think they have an edge and why (besides home field)?

As I posted in this thread earlier this morning, the more days pass the more this game looks tilted in Buffalo's favor (to me). That's not me taking the Jests for granted -- I'm sure they will play hard -- but me looking at the specific position groups and coaching and arriving at a conclusion that the Bills should win or push most of those matchups. For example, last year I would have given the Jests DL a big edge over the Bills OL, but the Bills have replaced 4/5 of the line with proven veterans (and Cody). Now that looks much more even. Similarly, I would have given the Jests an edge in ST but the Bills went out and swiped their best STer. I don't believe in Adam Gase as a leader. I think for that team to succeed over the long term they will need immediate success, because Gase is not the guy who will keep them together if it goes south. Greggggg is still looking for his next HC gig -- do you think he'll support Gase if things aren't going swimmingly? Then I look at Buffalo's relative "harmony" across the board; a stable coaching staff with a few noted changes (OL, ST), the same schemes, and an established culture that appears to finally be matched with a good bit of talent. I think the Jests will probably get a few good punches in, but the Bills have a strong jaw and will eventually get the KO.

I think you were looking for this thread. Your kids would have found it.

In a PPR league I'd take Beasley...non-PPR Brown is the better bet. Beasley will get the volume; I'm thinking an 80+ catch season, which is 5 per game.

Cole Beasley will be my final round pick in every league I'm in this year.

Could but won't. I don't think people understand just how difficult learning to play in the NFL from scratch is. I would be shocked if an NFL team puts Wade on their active roster.

Nope, nope, and nope. Wade may develop into a serviceable NFL RB but at this point in his career he'd be a liability on any 53 man roster. He is destined for Buffalo's PS and we can hope he develops there.
