Exactly. Like you said, he is a head case on top of it

Nope. He’s so overrated

I know! Those are some quality coaches, especially Kyle shanahan

Haha agreed. He does seem like he’s a very good kid. Im also hoping he doesn’t get stuck in Cleveland

I doubt they will trade out. They are just saying that to keep all options available in case a team blocks their socks off with a trade request

There is still so much to happen and things are going to change like crazy after the combines, pro days, and free agency. I definitely wouldn’t be surprised if they took him, but it’s still so early

Chris ivory might fit that role nicely

I think he will be back with the Bills for one more year

You don’t need to have a specific rule. Just say don’t call it unless you’re sure. Minimize flags. Lame PI calls are the worst flags in football and it kills the game. You don’t need to look further than watching that AFC championship game between the Jags and Pats. Absolutely no reason to call those and it severely impacted the game . And by severely, I mean it probably was the difference in the game. Let the players decide it, not a ticky tack call 50 yards down the field

I’m guessing the giants draft Barkley or Rosen

Ya fair enough. Good points

How do you abuse the rep points out of curiousity?

Mike Tolbert says “wow that’s impressive “!

Ya they were very awful in terms of run blocking. Even Mccafery had a terrible yards per carry average

But the problem right now is the inconsistent calls on PI. One time they will call something so soft. And then the other time they will miss something blatant. That’s the biggest issue in my opinion and a lot of the times they are game changing calls.

Would you rather have 5 long pass interference calls a game? And over half of those are lame calls? Let the players play more and don’t call it unless it’s bad. Penalties are killing the game, not lack of penalties

True. It’s like with KC, no one was calling for Patrick Mahomes the first 10 weeks. But the problem is if TT struggles like Smith for a few games, the roar from the fans and media to play the rookie will be insane here

Ya the pash Rush was so disappointing last year. I can’t even imagine how good this defence could be with a solid pass rush and their shut down secondary

Ya fair enough. I remember them being outstanding against KC. Bad against NE. Average against the Colts. Mediocre against the Dolphins. Average against NE. And Pretty good the last game. So I guess you can say they for sure got better after those 3 awful games. But I also think they got better because their secondary was lock down and they could commit 7-8 guys to the box and put an emphasis on stopping the run.

Especially after that Oakland game. Just fell apart mid season

I was on the Mcd thread where he was saying they aren't as far along as people think. Which is true and it got me thinking. The Bills went 9-7 with an objectively awful offence, and a.... Then I went blank thinking about their defence. Some games they were opportunistic. Some games they were shut down. Some games they were mediocre. And some games they were just plain awful. So how would you overall rank their defense last year? I was thinking an above average defense that was very opportunistic and lucky at times. (I didn't look at any stats as I was just going off my memory for those 17 games)

A prime example as well is the Miami Dolphins. They went what, 10-6 in 2016? They shouldn't have been 10-6 and got lots of breaks that season. Then look at them this year. Granted they had lots of adversity with the hurricane and losing Tannehill, but they fell right back down to earth

He is correct. Technically last year was the year the Bills were supposed to get 4-5 wins. And this year would be the year they would try to improve on that and maybe get to 8 wins. They way over achieved last year, and let's be honest, got a lot of breaks along the way. I like the direction they are going, but I think they are a few years away from being a legit contender

Haha very true!

Robert Royal- Was good for a good play, bad play, and a penalty a game
