  1. The Brown's have a sharp GM who might be able to change his mind or else trade picks with NY. Maybe the next GM for NY might want to trade down to help rebuild.
  2. I would not risk playing him, he's too valuable for the future.
  3. Weather conditions look ok so far for the game https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/foxborough-ma/02035/hourly-weather-forecast/2089589?hour=33
  4. President Trump signed a $700 billion defense budget earlier this month, but budget caps put in place in 2011 remain on the books, robbing the Pentagon of much-needed money to rebuild the military. That drew concern from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., on Capitol Hill Friday. "Defense has actually been hit harder under the Budget Control Act than domestic programs have," McConnell said. "So, I think there's an urgency there." A short-term spending plan keeps the military funded through Jan.19, but unless the cuts are repealed next month, roughly $100 billion will be axed from the budget and Trump's goal of rebuilding the military will be in jeopardy. 31 percent of the Navy's 542 F-18 Super Hornet jets are fully mission capable and fully half of them can't fly at all. Meanwhile, Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson says her force is approximately 2,000 pilots short of the number required and officials say only half its fleet of B-1 and B-2 bombers can fly. "Were we to find ourselves in a high end conflict with Russia or China," said former Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Eric Edelman, quoting a RAND study released earlier this month, "we could lose." http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/12/22/defense-cuts-looming-unless-congress-takes-action-next-month.html 2 major wars and Budget Control Act of 2011 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budget_Control_Act_of_2011 have taken a very heavy toll on the military that will take years to recover. So much for a lower deficit.
  5. Donald J. Trump‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump 1h1 hour ago More At some point, and for the good of the country, I predict we will start working with the Democrats in a Bipartisan fashion. Infrastructure would be a perfect place to start After having foolishly spent $7 trillion in the Middle East, it is time to start rebuilding our country! Finally I can agree with him on this 100%
  6. Trump, Haley warnings ignored as UN condemns moving American Embassy to Jerusalem The 128 member states of the General Assembly voted to condemn Trump's move, with just seven other states joining the U.S. and Israel in voting against the resolution.

  7. McD ready to take lessons from Kent Kent "Toast" French, The World's Fastest Clapper https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNXElmEUIJo
  8. Garoppolo will be due a big contract after this season or a tag. If Cousins wants be be with his old coach a trade of QBs might be possible
  9. Have a DE press him at the LOS especially if he splits wide.
  10. MYTH: Rob Gronkowski is impossible to cover consistently, and all you can do is limit the damage. REALITY: Gronk can be covered successfully, but it's going to take an unconventional strategy to do it It was Mitchell who said before the game that Gronkowski is successful “when people don’t put their hands on him.” Linebacker Ryan Shazier added that the Steelers would do everything possible to upset Gronkowski's timing with Tom Brady. Here's the first problem: Gronk is more physical than the average tight end, and when you press him, he can simply out-muscle you and adjust his timing. Flaring him to the boundary of the formation creates seemingly impossible matchup issues. New England called a pass on 150 of the 154 plays in which Gronk was split wide, so opponents know what's coming when this happens, and they still can't stop it. https://www.si.com/nfl/2015/09/17/mythbusters-rob-gronkowski-patriots-bills-nfl-week-2
  11. I'm betting Redskins bite the bullet and sign Cousins long term.
  12. Saw T shirts for sale at Tops Bills are my favorite team and anyone who beats the Patriots
  13. That is my main concern , plus removing the mandate, millions will drop out of medical coverage causing the premiums of those with coverage to rise. jmo
  14. The Bills cannot talk to a player or his agent under contract but our GM can talk to another GM anytime. (my guess)
  15. Dorsey is very confident about his drafting ability and the team should count on future success. He traded up for Mahomes , we will soon see if he is right.
  16. Browns' John Dorsey: 'The guys that were here before, they didn't get real players' http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2017/12/browns_john_dorsey_the_guys_th.html His long success scouting for Green Bay will guarantee Browns will have good drafts from now on. Just don't let him manage the salary cap.
  17. I just hope Glenn has a full recovery so Dawkins can try RT. Miller was good in Kromer's scheme, better yet replace Castillo . Taylor will be a good backup but not as a pocket-timing passer.
  18. 51 rec for 897 yards so far
  19. I really enjoyed that win and seeing Taylor have a good game
  20. Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs eyes Carolina Panthers, wants to sign Kaepernick He said he would let the former 49ers quarterback compete with Cam Newton for the starting position. “I will immediately address the Colin Kaepernick situation and put him in the running for next year’s starting quarterback,” Diddy said in a video. "It’s just competition, baby. It’s just competition" http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2017/12/18/sean-diddy-combs-eyes-carolina-panthers-wants-to-sign-kaepernick.html
  21. Since she is from nearby Syracuse I like her
  22. Draft Tek has him the #2 QB behind Darnold. Walter has him rd 3-4 . Waiting for the combine
  23. Logan Thomas is the emergency backup QB. Patrick DiMarco a 3rd RB if 2 go down
  24. With all the player turnover and scheme changes this year 7 wins so far is a surprise to me.
  25. If the OL could pass protect I would be ok with starting Peterman next season until a new draft pick is ready.
