Even bigger props to the Raiders for pulling the trigger on the cut. Brown fails to realize that his behavior in all this will damage his chances of getting signed anywhere, let alone a lucrative contract

Dude needs some serious straightjacket and a 6 month supply of lorazepam

Maybe someone should start a pool for which game the meltdown happens

What gets said at this point doesn’t matter. Pundits can say what they want. They could say we’re either gonna get blown out or steamroll the Jets, or either will win a close game. Point is they know about as much as we do, which is nothing. I read what they say but put absolutely no stock in it. Out of all Bills fans and all pundits from last year, who actually thought Matt Barkley would go in to met life and leave the Jets a pummeled, bloody mess with a much worse O line? Forget who says what and let what happens on Sunday unfold on its own

Geez, is Arkham Asylum missing someone?

That would be quite interesting for sure, perhaps the whole helmet deal got under Mayock's skin, the threat of violence may be the final nail in the coffin

What kind of example would Mayock be setting if he just let it slide? Brown is more anti-team than anything. Last thing any team needs is an example like that set for everyone else

His work ethic obviously went out the door when he suckered Oakland. What's gonna be interesting is how he's gonna react when other teams turn him down flat if he does get cut

Great post Shaw, as always. The threads you post here are every bit as interesting as the ones you posted on BB.com. I'm always gonna be the type to put my optimism in check, as yourself and many others have said, the first game win or lose will tell a lot of the story on the season. I wanna believe Allen will show he's progressed, but blind faith has failed me too many times before. All I can do is hope the kid surprises us all. I'm actually more interested in how our defense is gonna be this year, mainly Edmunds and Oliver. We didn't get to see much of Hughes in the preseason, so I'm anxious to see how he does. My biggest question mark is with Singletary. He's got some pretty big shoes to fill with Shady being cut. I'll admit that he seems to have great vision, but to me lacks a bit of burst. I hope he has a hell of a rookie year just the same. Thanks again Shaw, looking forward to reading more of the Rockpile Review

Living in Tennessee, I don't think there's anywhere I can go. Before the Titans, they showed Bills games here frequently. I told some people here I'd drive the crane with a wrecking ball for free tearing down their stadium if the Titans left. That didn't go over so well

Lol I’m surprised no one mentioned Melvin Gordon

Antonio Brown will throw him under the bus constantly before it’s all said and done. IR may be the best place for him

That may be believeable if the Jets ever sign a kicker that can make one

He would have been a perfect fit with Greggo during bountygate

If the Bills are gonna win that game, it won't be with the running game. Jets secondary is pretty weak, but their D line is pretty stout against the run

In reality, this is Zay’s 3rd year in the league. He hasn’t done all bad but he’s nowhere near the miles ahead of Williams that you’re making him out to be. Williams, despite how you try to downplay what he’s done up to this point, has produced more than Jones. Against whoever is beside the point. Jones did himself NO favors dropping a perfectly thrown pass against Indy. And I don’t care what numbers you pull up, as I stated before, when grooming a QB to be the franchise QB, dropping passes that are catchable will get WR bumped down if not worse

I find it hilarious Clowney would rather lose millions than play for the Dolphins.

Thanks for clairifying that. I didn’t picture him as the mobile type

Meh, just run a Wade wildcat

Couldn’t agree more, Barkley has nothing to do with Allen being on a short leash. Allen has everything to do with Allen being on a short leash

I'd say he played pretty well against the Jets in his only start too

I didn't mean to imply that we had to rely on Oliver for pressure. Were not gonna get to every QB on every dropback.

I honestly feel like the defense is more the key here, even moreso than Allen's performance. I just don't feel like Allen is quite there yet, would so love to be proven wrong about that. I'm very much hoping the Bills were working on the run and run defense in Detroit. Wasn't too excited about Stafford and Hockenson playing catch

If Oliver is as advertised in terms of getting pressure up the middle, I don't know whether or not Darnold is effective throwing on the run. I don't think he'll be taking many 7 step drops, but if he does, that could be a favorable outcome in the Bills favor either by our D line or our Safeties. I'm trusting our LBs to shut down the short stuff, Bell might get his bell rung by Edmonds a few times on some screens

I don’t think we should be overlooking our own defense. I’m not denying Darnold has talent, but I really believe our defense will give him fits. Bell isn’t gonna come in and be what he was after being off a year and no preseason games. A lot of pundits have this marked down as a loss for the Bills, but I honestly believe they’re overlooking our D and overestimating the Jets’ O.
