  1. Geez Louise. Mac Jones is Mac Jones. He isn't Tom Brady, Drew Brees or Baker Mayfield (or Andy Dalton or Trent Edwards or any other unathletic pocket passer who has entered the league over the past 20 years). I will say this, though, over the past 10-15 years, the best quarterbacks who have entered the league have all had +physical traits that set them apart from their peers - be it speed/escapability, extraordinary size/strength, or a Howitzer for an arm. The best quarterbacks (outside of Brady) usually have at least two of these traits (Rodgers, Mahomes, etc.) combined with good-to-excellent accuracy. Jones really only has his brain and an accurate arm, so I think it's an uphill climb for him to become an "elite" player at the position, but maybe he'll turn out to be the one-in-a-million exception like you know who.
  2. Unfortunately, you missed the part where the company rep signed it in his car before heading in for lunch. JK. That's an awesome gift.
  3. Agree with the OP. I also really believe we need to destroy the Pats this Monday. Destroy their will on national TV and show them who's Daddy in the AFC East. I'll take a win, but I'd prefer bloodshed.
  4. Win or lose, the Bills will be my team until the day I die (so long as they stay in Buffalo).
  5. Honestly, we won't know until this Monday. We were certainly superior last season. I think with Star and Spencer Brown in the lineup, we are the better team. Without those two? Not so sure.
  6. So, they should blow it all up and rebuild or what? A few weeks ago the Pats and Chiefs were two of the worst teams in football and now they look like they are on a crash course for the AFC Championship game. Things can change quickly in the NFL. McDermott has earned the benefit of the doubt from me for now. Today was almost entirely self inflicted and things we can (hopefully) clean up. Let's see how we bounce back on Thursday and against the Pats. I'm not about to wave the white flag at 6-4 in a season where there are no dominant teams from week to week
  7. I don't feel great at the moment, but I think they can turn it around and make something of the season. Definitely need a healthy Star, Edmunds and Spencer Brown though. That much is clear.
  8. This team needed a real ass kicking like this. Make or break point of season
  9. I hate posts like this that are so emotional and incredibly stupid.
  10. Concerning that they thought it a good idea to keep Breida on ice for 1/2 the season, no?
  11. Geez, i like the occasional good troll post, but this is so subpar it's merely irritating.
  12. Andy Dalton won 9 regular season games as a rookie and averaged 10 wins/season over his first 5 years on the league.
  13. That video was just horrible and sad. You can see by the way she tries to remain calm throughout that this has probably happened many times in the past.
  14. It proved that the Bills can beat the Jets easily in their own stadium - which is something the Titans couldn't do.
  15. Pats are good and that's okay. Yes, a little overhyped at the moment, but that's what happens when you win 4 straight games in this league and your coach has the most titles in history. I expect them to destroy the Falcons this evening, because the Pats are pretty good and the Falcons absolutely suck. Doesn't mean the Pats are better than the Bills. That will be settled on December 6.
  16. I don't subscribe to the theory that Thurman "fell off the cliff". There were a lot of things going against him at the time his YPC took a hit (1993-94). Kelly was aging and not the same guy he was a couple of years earlier, the offensive line was significantly worse, Marchibroda left and the rest of the league had caught up with the K-Gun. The entire offense lost a step or two during that period.
  17. How does Mac Jones "scare" anyone? Even if he turns out to be really good, we still have Josh Allen. As long as we have Allen running the show on offense and McDermott/Frazier shepherding our defense, I'm not going to be afraid of anyone. The Pats being good again doesn't suddenly make us a lesser team.
