My dad got into the NFL when it was big in the UK the first time around..... the 80s. He remembers the Bills Superbowl teams and even rooted against them once.... he is a Redskins fan.
By the time I got into the NFL his interest had kind of waned... but since he retired a few years ago his interest has returned somewhat. His wife on the other hand was not all that pleased when I informed her last Christmas Eve that we would need to be back from the traditional pub trip by 6pm because the Bills were playing

Maybe a low end 2. He's caught 4 TDs in 2 years. They've thrown at least 40. He isn't explosive and teams don't need to prepare for him. He's a piece but a piece that can be easily upgraded if someone is given the same opportunity. He's not bringing anything that Holmes and company aren't bringing besides blocking. If Jones doesn't catch 60 balls this year it will be disappointing (if healthy). I'd bet anything he catches 4+ TDs. He just has more tools than Woods.
I don't disagree.... as you well know I always thought Hogan was as good as Woods if not better (not trying to re-open out Hogan debate btw). I just think when you look around the league how many teams have a #2 that teams are legitimately designing defensive game plans around? I'd think a third of the league might be pushing it....

Quick had 41 for 563 and 3 TDs vs. Woods 51 for 613 and 1 TD. They aren't terribly different. The bottom line is that Woods isn't a number 2. I know that may come across as blasphemous but he's not. He's a decent possession guy but no better than the guys we have. If Zay Jones isn't an upgrade this year, we should be disappointed.
I think Woods is a low end 2. Not a 2 is a tad unfair on him I think. I do think Zay's ceiling is higher for what it's worth.

There's nothing indicating we didn't.
Bottom line is that we don't know for sure if they did or not.
I'm sure they put out feelers. Due diligence.
The lack of ANY reports, even from Twitter ITKs let alone reputable sources, indicates we didn't. I'm 99% sure they had zero interest in Decker.
-
If you can't prove a negative, then don't state it as if you can.
No the burden in this situation is on you to prove your assertion that the Bills made an offer for Decker and he chose to go and play with a better Quarterback. There is absolutely no evidence that backs up that statement.
EDIT: And anyone paying attention to my posts this offseason knows I am certainly not trying to "prop up" Tyrod Taylor. I just think let's have this debate on the facts. There is absolutely nothing indicating that the Bills made an offer for Decker.
-
Citation needed. Or is this like the "Maclin's wife made the decision," story telling?
I'm sorry but how are we supposed to cite something that was never a story? The Bills didn't have Decker in for a visit and there were no reports of them making an offer or even holding an interest. That is the citation. Otherwise you are asking us to prove a negative.
For what it is worth I agree that Quarterback was likely a factor in Maclin's decision. It wasn't a factor in Decker's cos the Bills were never in on Decker. I think they are happy to stand pat with their WR options... they just thought Maclin was too good not to try for.
-
There's about a 50% chance that he's "Frank Pro".
I think he is because looking at that he seems to have been a Geno fan and I think I remember enlightner being a Geno guy..... (might be misremembering but I think he was)
-
Most likely Sammy will be gone. If so I hope he goes too the Packers. And achieves his potential.
Sammy in that Pack offense...... wowzers.

£140 for the International Game Pass. Best £140 I spend every year. Every game live (except those being shown live on UK tv) all the Football Life archives, Undrafted, Hard Knocks, full access to NFL Network all year round..... absolute bargain.
I do feel your annual "negotiation" game pain though. I have to do it every year with SKY Sports (which shows some NFL but also shows all the soccer). You have to say you want to cancel, get a cancellation date, wait for the retention team to ring you back and offer you a deal £15 a month better than the one you are on..... they know you aren't really going to quit, you know you aren't really going to quit... it is a total charade, but their business model relies on a certain % of people just seeing their bill go up year by year by year and doing nothing about it.
-
Oh Lord.... here we go again. It's like that game at the fairground.... bash one thread containing a circular Tyrod argument on the head and another one pops up just as quickly.
-
Haven't we had about 7 or 8 2006 first rounders on our team at one time or another?
- Whitner
- Mario
- Young
- Bush
- Leinart
- Lawson
Sure I am missing one....EDIT: McCargo.... of course..... I have tried very hard to blank him from my memory.
-
I can't disagree with number 1. That was a great feeling. I'd have the sack safety of Rodgers at #2.
-
...so then why does he end up as Ravens' TE Coach and Assistant HC?......
He is basically in charge of the run game and he will, no doubt, improve it.
-
This should be shut down.
-
Kinda odd how you only attack him because he doesn't share the same views as you.
Dr Phil has room for you too. Lol.
On TBD attacking pro-Taylor fans is not allowed. Attacking anti-Taylor, or even people who are not anti-him but see no evidence he is a possible long term solution is fine.
I think the mods here generally do a fantastic job. But the Taylor thing has not been moderated fairly IMO.
-
Don't let Big Cats heat maps fool you.
They were actually good at staying on the field and reducing the 3 and outs after Roman was fired.
No it's 3 and outs in bunches you need to look at.... errr... no.... it's 3 and outs when the game is within 7 points...... errr... no.... it's 3 and outs on days when the wind is blowing south westerly......
The problem with the defense was the defense.

My fellow dudes, I think someone broke Bryan.

I would not be surprised if by February we are hearing "there might only be 1 or 2 first round talents in this class".
-
True.
Also true, but doesn't take into account the Fitz turnovers at the worst time.
And we all remember those, for sure, and I was ready to move on from Fitzy this is not some unreconstituted Fitz homage but give him a better D and he wins more games. I think he was capable of the kind of 9-7 / 10-6 years he has had in Houston and New York since leaving. Not every year... but he had that in him if you gave him a D, the same as TT does.
I think TT is the best Quarterback we have had in the drought save for those first 10 or 12 games of Bledsoe. I just think Fitz isn't that far behind and he is certainly better than Orton.
-
And for the 100 millionth time, TT is better than Fitz. How many times does this nonsense have to go back and forth. Again TT is a better QB than the Fitz. The defense was the main problem last season, not the offense. the last two seasons with TT as QB,, the Bills offense is one of the higher scoring offenses in the NFL.
Whilst I agree TT > Fitz... the defense was also the biggest reason Fitz's ceiling here was 6-10. We fielded some atrocious defenses in those years.
-
There's a chance that he's a bit of a problem child. Got benched by the ****ty 49ers for violation of team rules.
Honestly, with his play last year, I thought he'd sign long-term somewhere.
I'd have a problem listening to Chip Kelly too. In fact I'd have a problem not punching his smug face repeatedly whilst laughing.
-
He was a very good rotational back... And I hope you are right, but when McCoy goes down Tolbert and JW are our RBs. Cringe worthy.
I still think either Banyard or O'Neal end up making he team. Our best hope is one of them is an undiscovered gem like TD Mike was.
-
Like the Colts game. Cassel gets the first snap. Taylor plays the whole game and Cassel gets the W.
Yea it is stupid.
-
Many sites list wins with the QB. I don't mind either way. But 14-14/ 15-14 when he plays, is far from terrible. Bledsoe, Orton, Taylor-only QBs so far worth discussing since 2001.
Like the Colts game. Cassel gets the first snap. Taylor plays the whole game and Cassel gets the W.
Think that is a bit harsh on Fitzy. I think give Fitzy the defense Orton had and he would have got us to 9-7 at least once.
-
Love that Mohammed Sanu gets a stat haha. The NFL really have to apply some common sense to the "who starts at QB" thing beyond just "who is standing there for the first offensive snap?"
So....Eric Decker? Signs w/ Titans

For me it depends on two things:
1) How quickly does Deshaun Watson become the Texans starter?
2) How does that defense look without big Romeo calling it?
If the answers are: early and doesn't miss a beat it is the Texans again. If they are rolling with Savage or the D steps back it is Tenn's division.
