The comparisons to Wentz fall short because Allen didn't dominate the competition he was against. If he was that good, he should have dominated. The hope I suppose is that he improves A LOT. Rosen is a mile ahead of Allen when it comes to playbooks, reads, rhythm passing, footwork, and all of the other details that make QBs good in the NFL. Allen is just raw. Fingers crossed that he gets it.

I'm afraid this may be right.

I'm not a Josh Allen hater. I just think Rosen is a much better option. I hope I'm wrong. But I'm disappointed. I love that Rosen wants to make us pay. That kind of fire and honesty would be refreshing, but I'm afraid what I liked about Rosen (his edge) is what kept the Bills from drafting him. Again, I don't hate Allen as a pick, but I would have loved Rosen. Fingers crossed that I'm wrong, and the Bills did the right thing.

Rosen. I'm almost shaking. Please get Rosen.

Bring Mack to Buffalo? If it were possible, YES! But, I think we're dreaming if we think it was possible.

At this point, I think Rosen reminds me a lot of Peyton, but maybe with more edge to his personality. Peyton didn't need the paycheck, either. He was driven to be great because his family instilled that into his character. His successful parents got there because they worked hard and took pride in being excellent. Russell Wilson's parents were successful, and strong character people, too. You never know until you know, but I would trade whatever it takes to make sure we get him, and that may mean going to number one because I could see him landing there if the Brown's don't get the price they want. Maybe the only reason why Cleveland is being coy is that they're not sure who other people have on their board and they're in the market to sell the pick if the price is right. Please, Beane, get this guy!

Wow. Those are some amazing throws. Rosen seems to be legit. He could be a real trajectory changer for us. Fingers crossed. To have a real franchise QB, seems to be good to be true.

His hit on Tre was an audition! Now I get it!

Gronk's best friend's neighbor's dog walker's assistant's cousin told me you're full of it.

At first glance Cousins for 30 millionish a year sounds crazy, but we will have to overpay. But even at 30 million, filling holes with draft picks may save us enough money to have a solid team. Is Cousins a top 10 QB? Probably not. Top 15? Definitley. Which means hes good enough to save us the picks, time, and money looking for the next franchise guy that may never come. Im all for it! Put a legit starter on the team and draft well! Thats a win if you ask me.

Bald people will rule the world.

Love the board!

Sometimes these guys with character issues can make the jump if they're in a mix with good guys, but it appears the corners already playjng for Big Blue weren't up to the task.

I would love a football league that ran in the off (NFL/NCAAF) season! A developmental league for the NFL would be ideal, but I'd be happy just to have football year round. I think two basic styles might work. Either NFL teams assign prospects (maybe practice squads) to the teams (I'm assuming a small league of 4-8 teams would be the only way to do it, or NFL teams are required to draft players from the league, maybe there's a developmental draft separate from the normal college draft. I think it could be a lot of fun, and maybe give a shot to some people who just can't go the college route, including foreign players who need a place to convert from other sports, like rugby, but just can't make US college work. Anyways, I'd love any kind of "real" football to be year round. Arena just doesn't cut it for me, and the offseason is always the longest 6 months of my life.

Gronk's late hit on White last week might end up costing the Pat's the superbowl. Here's my logic: The Pats lost by 7 points to Miami, and I think its fair to think that Gronk could have made up the point difference. This means Gronk's suspension might have cost them this game which may end up costing the Pats home field advantage which in turn could cost them a playoff game against Pittsburgh. If Pitt beats the Pats at Heinz Field in the AFC championship, I think Gronk's flagrant late hit is ultimately a key factor. I think he deserves the blame either way. That was a historically cheap shot, and I'm glad it cost him.

The three losses! The Peterman decision! 5 Picks in a half, all after building up our hopes? Its just too much. This has to be the lowest point in my Bill's memory since watching Kelly carted off after the Jacksonville playoff loss. It hurts. The Bills seem to find new ways to draw you in just to crush your soul. I love Josh Rosen as a prospect, but it will take some real assets to get him. But it becomes more possible if we draft earlier, so losing isnt all bad. This is what I tell myself.

Hit the nail on the head.

I found this at encyclopedia.com: "Rice's rookie season had a rocky start. He dropped a record fifteen passes, a feat not lost on the press or the fans. In retrospect, Rice blamed his early failures on the complex offense that Walsh ran. He simply had to learn the moves, he said, to the point where he could run a play without thinking about it." My fingers are crossed that Zay gets it, but true story: my kids were playing that game where we throw the football around and whoever drops it get a letter. We call it three drops sometimes. And my thirteen-year old daughter said, "Lets call it ZAY for Zay Jones." And for about an hour yesterday we played "Zay."

For what its worth Jerry Rice had a lot of drops in the first half of his rookie year. He has a lot to prove, but I hope he gets a chance. Its still so early, especially for a WR. Not everyone at that position comes in and performs like OBJ. WR is especially hard transition. His brain probably just needs to cacthup to the demamds of the progame, and, then hopefully, his natural ability will finally come out. Disclaimer: Im NOT his agent.

Does anyone know why the Bears dropped DT? He looks great. He seems like a legit speed receiver. I think our wideouts, even Matthews, are bigger possesion type guys, and we definitely needed some speed out there! What a game! What a day! A lot of fun, but I think I aged 10 yeats in 3 hours.

In my opinion, I think opposing offenses may not be TRYING to score more points because they know how bad our offense is which skewers the stats a bit. Don't get me wrong, the D looks good, but I think teams realize they don't have to score much to win and play conservatively. This would make our D look better than it is. Everything needs to be seen in context, right? Bottom line, we need more firepower on offense.

Grezt read! Hoping all the pub doesn't jinx us.

Excellent article. I would add that good one on one corners cost more, so a zone scheme gives you more cap room. Carolina releasing Norman was a trade off sort of move. Good player, but your D can be fine without stars by running a lot of zone, and you can spend your money elsewhere. Big test for our D tomorrow. Green is for real. Thanks again for the good read.

I don't know how the game will turn out, but through 1Q the Pats D looks terrible. I thought their interior guys were okay, but from what I'm seeing, they're weak as h%$# in the middle.
