BillsFan130

Good to hear but kind of irrelevant IMO. While I love how the Bills have been playing, if they go 3-0, the 3 teams they have played are probably all bottom 10 in the NFL. Just continue to play well, progress, and take er 1 game at a time.

They didn’t. I thought they did at first but I triple checked because I was so confused by the stoppage. I don’t believe there was though. Like 99 percent sure. The only thing was the flag that they were discussing and ultimately picked up but the clock stopped because of that.

No not that play. It was the play right after that on the 3rd down. I believe it was Gore who carried and was tackled in bounds

Ya it didn’t make sense to me. I’m pretty sure it was a technical error by the officials, but maybe I’m missing something here.

One play that baffled me was the game clock when the Bills were trying to run down the clock with 5 minutes left. The refs originally called a Personal foul on the Giants but then picked up the flag. So with like 4:55 remaining, the clock should technically be running after that but wasn’t. At the end of the day it didn’t matter, but I was pissed as the Bills got screwed out of running 40 more seconds down. Im assuming that was just a technical error by the officials?

Nope not just you. You are spot on with your assessment on him. He can never make a contested catch

I would say Mahomes. But ya Allen is pretty damn good at it

Ya. He played pretty good as well

Are our expectations that low from our receivers that 2 catches for 18 yards by a starting WR shouldn’t be criticized? I Haven’t seen the all 22 so I can’t say if Zay was running open all game, but from his past 2 awful seasons he doesn’t really get the benefit of the doubt. At least in my opinion

That's how I saw it as well. He throws it any higher and its a suicide pass. I put that pick 6 100 percent on Beasley

Usually pessimistic at picking Bills games but I see the Bills defence just crushing Eli. Bills pass rush combined with an immobile Eli spells trouble for the Giants

Lol yep. And about his 15 fantasy teams

He had a mixed game for sure. Not concerned though as he’ll bounce back

Something about josh Allen late in games. That kid just seems to rise to the occasion when the game matters the most. Unbelievable win

Man Zay sucks

You’re really just being argumentative at this point. There really isn’t anything to else to say. Nothing that I claimed in my post was data. I didn’t look at any “data” to say brown is faster than Zay. Anyone who watched those guys play for 5 minutes last year would understand that. I never looked at any “stats” or “data” to say brown didn’t do much the first half vs the 2nd half of the year. Anyone who watched the ravens understands the different offensive approach the ravens applied when they had Jackson vs Flacco in. Good day.

You took what I said way too extreme. Common sense that John Brown will start: 1. He was coming off a good season last year until the Ravens decided to play a high school brand of football. 2. He is the highest paid receiver on the team. You can argue that “he needs to compete for a spot” all you want, but at the end of the day the guy that has the high pay check is going to get every single opportunity to play and it would definitely be his spot to lose. He would have to have an absolutely miserable camp to be demoted to the 4 spot. 3. They brought him and Beasley in to UPGRADE the position. Zay Jones last year was a starter on the team. They spent descent money on 2 guys not to put them behind Zay Jones on the depth chart. 4. The Bills clearly want more speed at the position. It was evident last year when they started using McKenzie and foster more, and it’s even more evident now by bringing in a speedster in brown and an agility freak in Beasley. I never once used 1 piece of data there. Like I said, common sense sometimes out trumps data/analytics.

In this case I think common sense trumps data though.

I appreciate your time and effort with your post. I will stick to my original point though and say if John Brown is healthy, he starts. We will have to agree to disagree it looks like. Have a a good night sir

Ok. I’m really not sure what you are getting at now. Sure there is a possibility he gets hurt. Injuries happen in the NFL. What does that have to do with anything we were discussing about him being a starter on the depth chart? Yes if he blows an ACL or has a severe injury he won’t be a starter. I can agree with that lol

Great post. There is definitely no doubt he is going to start unless he blows an ACL in the offseason. Don’t know how it’s even a discussion really.

You are completely mis understanding what I’m saying. . I never once said an average of 9 Mil per year is number one money. It usually is around #2 money though for the NFL . But ON the Bills he is their highest paid receiver on an annual average. That is also simply a fact. The Bills did not sign John Brown for that money, RELATIVE to the other Bills receivers to “have him compete for a starting job this year”. It is absolutely his job to lose the 1 or 2 spot on the team for this season. If Beane is paying him an average of 9 Mil to possibly be the 4th receiver, then that would be his worst contract given out to date.

His contract says it’s his job to lose. They are paying him descent money and are going to give him every opportunity to be the 1 or 2 receiver this year. He would really have to have a terrible camp/preseason to be dropped from the 1 or 2 role to start the year. And his main competition is Zay Jones.... So I think he’ll remain there lol I agree he’s not a 1 or 2 on a good team, but on the Bills he is definitely one of their better receivers and is getting paid like it relative to the other Bills receivers

I would personally say it’s his job to lose rather than him having to earn it. He would have to really crap the bed in camp

9 Mil per year with 12 Mil guaranteed in the contract to compete? I think Brown is definitely there to start as it would be very surprising if he didn’t get the 1 or 2 spot. IMO
