In the preview it has Josh next week (between 20-11). https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/who-has-the-record-for-most-receptions-in-a-season-rookie

UH is a great hospital system. Best of luck and enjoy. The weather sucks but there are a lot of good restaurants and nice people in Cleveland. My sister has been on the East Side of Cleveland since she went to JCU in 1995. Depending on how far east you are, you can get to the stadium in 2.5 hours. I’ve gone right from her house to games a few times. I’d leave between 7-7:30 AM and be in the parking lot between 9:30-10. It’s an easy trip.

I don’t disagree but he had 11 INTs last year. He hasn’t come on yet (I don’t think anyways). I wouldn’t be surprised, at all, if he is in the top 30.
-
I’m thinking that he is coming up today in the low 40’s. They said something about this being “the brothers” episode so I’m assuming that he and Trevon are coming up. Nevermind, it was Cam Heyward.

Bills' ticket prices soar as new season fast approaches
Kirby Jackson replied to HOUSE's topic in The Stadium Wall
I have a buddy who books giant blocks of rooms for every week of the college season, in every SEC host city (outside of the big cities). He doesn’t bother for Baton Rouge, Nashville and one or two others. There are enough rooms in those cities. He then sells “the right to book those rooms” to visiting fans. He’s an Auburn grad. As an example he may have, 100 rooms booked in Auburn for Friday and Saturday of a home game. It’s a small place with limited hotel options. He used to use Craigslist (not sure how he does it now) and charge $100 per room. He was making thousands of dollars a week. I don’t know if he’s still doing it but he did for years. -
Thanks I think that he’s better than Teddy but not TT or Minshew. Foles is awful again. That’s all that I was getting at. That’s the tier. He is a bottom end starter or high end backup. That was the point. The Bills are in great hands with him as their number 2. They were with Trubisky too. Hopefully he never has to play either. This team is absolutely loaded. He’s a smart guy that’s a high end game manager. That’s what I want in a backup for this team. They don’t need him to be a playmaker. They need him to take what is given. I do believe that the Bills would win 10 or 11 with him. In terms of, last year, I don’t expect them to be 0-6 in one score games and everything else a double-digit win. That was a strange year. I think that they win 13 or 14 this year. 11 will make it to the practice squad. I’m sure that was what he was told before coming back. He’s Josh’s buddy and a sharp guy. He’s the new Davis Webb.

No I didn’t!! I said, “I’m not convinced that he couldn’t perform as well as them with the same circumstances.” That doesn’t mean, “at least as good as them.” Don’t distort words to back out of the corner. Most of those guys would be in the 20’s. He’s a top end backup (which is how you get in the top 40). You said that he “wasn’t in the top 40” so I asked you to name the 40 that are definitely better. You haven’t don’t that. You haven’t don’t that because you don’t want to start throwing names like Lock out there. List the 40 that he’s definitely better than. That was what you said. Don’t try to talk about anything else. Say things like “Drew Lock would be a better option if Allen went out.” Please be prepared to defend all 40 names on your list. Either that or retract it because you don’t actually believe it…

Your point about Peterman was, “they once thought he was good because of preseason.” They were wrong. He was a scrub before they drafted him. He played horribly and that was just a wrong asssessment. That’s why I asked you to list the 40 better. You are saying that he is not. I listed some guys, all between the late teens and 35, that I think he could be on par with. The opinion on Keenum has NOTHING to do with a good or bad preseason performance. It has everything to do with his resume and ability to perform at a certain level. There aren’t 40 QBs in the league that would play at his level given the exact same talent around them. If, god forbid, he had to start the whole year for the Bills they would be 10-7 or 11-6. He’d throw for 3,500+ yards and 30+ TDs. That’s obviously a function of the talent around him but I don’t think Lock/Geno would do that.
-
I hate to do this but list the 40 better than him. Keep in mind the guy has 15,000 passing yards and a 62.5% completion. There’s virtually NO CHANCE that there are 40 better currently. He is one of the top 8 backups in the league (and better than the starter in Seattle at least). I’m not convinced that he couldn’t perform as well as Baker, Tannehill, Goff, Wentz, McCorkle, Ryan, Mills, Mariota, Geno, Tua, Zach Wilson and a couple of others if he was given those jobs. He’s in the top 40. You are WAY, WAY, WAY, WAY, WAY underrating him if you honestly believe that Peterman belongs in the conversation with him.
-
He is, or at least was, statistically, the worst QB in NFL history. That’s not hyperbole. I know that some people here don’t like to hear that (not you). Peterman is the worst player to ever go under center. Keenum is a high end backup. He’s somewhere between the 20th and 40th best QB in the league.

Bills' ticket prices soar as new season fast approaches
Kirby Jackson replied to HOUSE's topic in The Stadium Wall
I feel bad for the woman in the article. It sounds like she has much more important issues than attending a game. With that being said, there were tickets available today at a heavy discount. Supply and demand is never going away and in sports, it’s just beginning. Dynamic pricing will determine what the market will bear. It’s still cheap to attend games in December. You can’t say, “I want to go to a high demand game, against a good opponent, in good weather but I don’t want to pay a lot.” There is a Simpsons episode where Agnes Skinner yells at the kid bagging her groceries, “I want them all in one bag!! And I don’t want that bag to be heavy!!” -
OT: Belichick says that Mac's improvement is "dramatic"
Kirby Jackson replied to Success's topic in The Stadium Wall
Is Mac Jones a top 20 QB this year? I ask it that way because “long-term” you’d probably take him over guys like Matt Ryan. You might not for 2022 though. Is he a top 20 QB this year? Guys that are DEFINITELY better: - Allen - Mahomes - Rodgers - Brady - Burrow - Herbert - Murray - Lamar - Carr - Russell Wilson - (cringe) Watson - Cousins - Dak - Stafford Maybe: - Hurts - Lance - Lawrence - Fields - Zach Wilson - Pickett/Trubisky - Baker - Jameis - Tua - Tannehill - Ryan -
There’s one big difference. Keenum has thrown for 15,000 yards and Peterman is the worst QB in NFL history.
-
Maybe, but that’s the point. The Browns are a mess. They’re a very talented mess. They have a sleazy owner to go with their scumbag QB. There is absolutely a path to them winning the division. There is no path to the Jets, Seahawks, Pats (I said it), etc… winning their divisions.
-
That’s why I said, “with the right breaks.” That team is talented and could still add Jimmy G. If the Browns go 7-4 or even 6-5 before Watson comes back they can win the division. See above on Cleveland. Pittsburgh went to the playoffs last year with worse QB play. Somehow they became underrated. It isn’t crazy to think that they go from 9-7-1 to 11-6 and win the division.
-
This division is wide open. Any of the 4 teams could win with the right breaks. I went with the Bengals. Despite an incredibly difficult schedule, I think that they’re the best team. My guess is that all of the teams are pretty close.

RIP Luke 🙏🏼🙏🏼. Prayers up for Dawson and his family. -
Help me understand an OBJ trade
Kirby Jackson replied to Behindenemylines's topic in The Stadium Wall
God forbid the Bills jettison Jake Kumerow to find a spot for Odell Beckham Jr. People, when OBJ was last on the field he was DOMINATING in the Super Bowl. He was well on his way to Super Bowl MVP before getting hurt. There are people here worried about him taking Jake Kumerow’s roster spot or about TAKING TARGETS AWAY FROM MCKENZIE & KNOX. I love those guys but, STOP!! Please stop!!! That’s beyond absurd. Beckham is a HOF talent, with proven production, on the biggest stage. You’d be getting him for pennies coming off the injury. If you REALLY think signing him is bad for the Bills, you’re lost.- 296 replies

Obviously, it is tougher to throw, punt, catch, kick, handle the ball, cheer, coach, rush the passer, etc… when the weather is bad. That’s not a point that needed to be raised. That holds true FOR EVERY SINGLE POSITION. It’s safe to assume, “Araiza won’t consistently hit 82 yard punts, into the wind, on a rainy December day.” We already know that it is harder to play football in bad weather. But his career isn’t? He’s the greatest punter in NCAA history. Was that sample size sufficient or is “it harder to punt against pro competition?” I’ll book that bet and give you 20-1. You name the stakes. If Haack makes the team I’ll send you 20X of what you’ll send me if it’s Araiza. You CLEARLY are not familiar with Araiza’s reputation. He’s not “like Bojo.” He’s “like no one ever” at this point. It needs to continue, obviously, but at this stage there isn’t a comp.
-
Um, the guy is, arguably, the most talented punter ever. Why wait to “make sure that the sky doesn’t fall?” Don’t go through life like that!! Celebrate that we have AN ELITE talent at a position where we were, arguably, the worst in the league. This isn’t a time to be negative!! Enjoy the ride!!
-
It’s a take on Chris Paul being “The Point God.” That became a thing 10-15 years ago. This was just a clever pun to recognize, arguably, the most gifted punter ever.

Thoughts about starters during the rest of preseason
Kirby Jackson replied to JÂy RÛßeÒ's topic in The Stadium Wall
I THINK that they will play some. I’d prefer that they don’t. The window is open for a Super Bowl run. I wouldn’t take any chances 🤷🏻♂️ -
We can’t steal nicknames. Greg Zuerlein is legatron.
