  2. McD ready to take lessons from Kent Kent "Toast" French, The World's Fastest Clapper https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNXElmEUIJo
  3. 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
  4. Have a DE press him at the LOS especially if he splits wide.
  5. 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
  6. I'm betting Redskins bite the bullet and sign Cousins long term.
  7. Saw T shirts for sale at Tops Bills are my favorite team and anyone who beats the Patriots
  8. 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
  9. The Bills cannot talk to a player or his agent under contract but our GM can talk to another GM anytime. (my guess)
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 51 rec for 897 yards so far
  14. I really enjoyed that win and seeing Taylor have a good game
  15. 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
  16. Since she is from nearby Syracuse I like her
  17. Draft Tek has him the #2 QB behind Darnold. Walter has him rd 3-4 . Waiting for the combine
  18. Logan Thomas is the emergency backup QB. Patrick DiMarco a 3rd RB if 2 go down
  19. With all the player turnover and scheme changes this year 7 wins so far is a surprise to me.
  20. If the OL could pass protect I would be ok with starting Peterman next season until a new draft pick is ready.
  21. If the OL has their best day. Miami beat NE* , 2 Brady INTs
  22. We will see how it affects the deficit , healthcare premiums, medicare, medicaid , future social security, people who will lose medical coverage. Republicans will own above going into 2018 and 2020 elections.
  23. I wanted McD to take Mahomes or Watson without having to trade up. If he can draft a better QB this draft or if Peterman becomes a good starter or backup I'll believe. The other option is if a good FA QB or trade is made. The jury is still out with me but willing to give McD and Beane at least 5 years. The hiring of Castillo and Dennison when the players here do not fit there scheme is like Rex with his 3-4
  24. Sammy 13 games 34 rec 549 yards Woods 10 games 47 rrec 703 yards I think both are very good. Curious Sammy's next contract.
  25. March 14 The 2018 league year and free agency period begin at 4:00 p.m., New York time. April 26-28 2018 NFL Draft, AT&T Stadium, Arlington, TX. https://operations.nfl.com/football-ops/league-governance/2017-18-important-nfl-dates/ With so many teams wanting a QB it will be difficult to trade up.
