when did Tate become a Bill? lol

10-6

With the way the schedule shakes out this season, the Baltimore opener appears to be a game the Bills cannot afford to lose.

I think the team feels it's between Boykin and Powell for the final WR spot. They really like Boykin on Special Teams, plus he's got size. He's a possible surprise keep over Powell even though we've all seen that Powell can certainly make plays.

yes many do unfortunately. It's been a 3 year progression as well, not one preseason game. My reply was for Kirby any way ultimately and I've seen enough of your back and forths with other posters to know where this would be going if this wasn't my last direct response. You'll have me somehow saying he's great and should start in the league before long I'm sure thought that's clearly not what I am saying.

Because simply he doesn't, and because he has developed on some of his weaknesses like pocket presence and reading the field. Relative to the Qb's available as #2's in the NFL he is in the upper part of that group. Other than one or 2 unique situations across the league, there isn't a guy in that spot that is significantly better than him.

I don't think anyone (maybe one) in this thread are saying he should be an NFL starter. It's just those who have already determined he 'simply sucks period' that look kind of stupid now.

It's not a love affair we don't think he's a starter. but you also aren't seeing the game at a high level of detail if you don't see the progress he's made in multiple areas. That's ok most fans don't see the game at that level. They have lives and such. And likely with a name like old school you're probably going to be set in your ways and stick with your initial opinion.

True LOL

Alexander MAY be better than Manny Lawson... He's looked real good all camp long now

yes there were atleast 5 blatant examples of that last night

A- he HAS shown improvement.He goes through his reads now. Still a bit inaccurate... B- He doesn't have that "Deer in the headlights look" at ALL. Not sure what you are watching there. Looks calm and in command now. C- He Had good production vs. 2nd and 3rds. He's a better than average backup QB that's what he is. Nothing more but not the tire fire some have stuck in their heads.

Gragg was far and away our best #2 TE that really sucks!

Agreed. The guy has progressed and IS one of the better backups in the league. Not what they drafted him for but could be much worse.

Starters vs. our 3rd string I would hope it's ugly for Washington's sake

Love your site man. Good stuff as the others have stated! Can't get enough of the true football analysis with all the pre-determined judgments, agendas and egos put off to the side. Keep up the good work.

And we learn here at TBD that players are what they are. They never develop.

Right? Specifically Kyle Williams...

Insane article.. Seems randomly chosen. He's in the upper 3rd of backups for sure... One could even argue he's better than a starter out there (Gabbert).

TY John... Exactly what I was getting at earlier and glad to see you are bothered by it as well.

I think it's easy enough to ignore garbage like this, but part of me wonders how there is no consequence for a "media member" who flat out lies about a person or organization ( "many in the organization feel that ..........").

I think Woods will fill the void we are worrying about at #2. Playing with a torn groin in 2 places massively affected his burst and quickness in routes.

great stuff

Exactly - "Points are key" is completely wrong.Plenty of times a top notch defense has suffered from short field after short field from 3 and outs and turnovers made by their putrid offense.In a case such as that points given up is a nearly meaningless stat.

Love this player and this pick. A true leader/warrior type to lead this D for the foreseeable future. Perfect fit. You can really start to see in your mind what a versatile amoeba-like Defense this will become.
