If this doesn't say everything else, I don't know what to tell ya

The Jets ahead of the Bills? Have you forgotten a few things about that team? First, Adam Gase should speak loud enough volumes being a first year coach. LeVeon Bell might not be as legit as you're making him out to be considering the O line he had in pitt was probably 10 times better than what the Jets have now. A defense with a weak secondary isn't gonna perform very well if the pash rush isn't elite, which is far from the case in NY. They may not live up to your prediction at all

That shows more how much Pitt wanted him gone

For me, it’d be hard to pass on McKenzie, I think he brings quite a bit to the table. With Jones, this is his 3rd year. While I can’t say what others have said to a certain extreme, I can say that I haven’t really seen enough to believe he’s made the kind of progress we all hoped he would. I realize I may get flamed for saying this, but that drop against the Colts didn’t set well with me, primarily because he does carry a history of drops. That’s the only form of consistency he has up to this point. And when trying to bring along a franchise QB, that’s one thing that’s gonna kill a WR. I’m pretty sure it didn’t set well with McDermott either

I don’t think the narrative “does nothing right” is accurate as opposed to inconsistency. I really can’t say I’d lose any sleep if Jones is dealt, at least at this point. The 3rd preseason game will tell the tale on that

First Newton, now Stafford. Geez this D line is scaring everyone ?

Correct, this is a preseason game

Nothing I've seen about Clowney remotely screams "huge get". And yeah, we did offer him a good deal, doesn't change the fact that he still chose Buffalo. To me, with or without Clowney, this is still a good defense. The O line on the other hand has been a problem for quite a long time

Even if by some miracle this is true, I'm not sure I'd like the idea of trading Ty away. As another poster pointed out, he chose to come to Buffalo, doesn't seem right to just ship him off given his choice of helping this team get better. Also, I was starting to get fond of the idea of having 2 maulers on the right side of the line. I can't remember the last time the right side even showed promise like this. To me, Clowney hasn't played up to his draft status, and apparently he has an injury history, hell we already have that in Murphy and by some reports, he's made good strides getting back to his old form. If Beane chooses to make the trade, I'll support it, but I will wonder how it'll affect this O line going forward

Watching the Keuchly (sp) clip, looks like he himself is itching to get in this defense.

Best thing about it was Hughes wasn’t even playing. This benefits Allen in more ways than one, if this defense turns out to be even near elite, it’ll buy Allen some time to progress as a QB. Perhaps this was Beane and McDermott’s thinking all along

Geez, people would be better off getting completely wasted before the game and praying to the porcelain god, beer wouldn’t look so tempting then

Saw the Bills twice at home, once against the Jets where the entire Jim Kelly led team laid a complete egg, Bills got blown out in that one. The second was against the Raiders with a completely opposite result. Flutie started that game and it wasn't really a contest at all. I remember Bruce with a strip sack deep in the Raiders' own territory, think it was Hansen that recovered the fumble. Only highlight in that game for the Raiders was a kick return for a TD. Loved the visit to Orchard Park both times

If that’s the case, then that sandwich was the only thing that crossed the goal line

What’s killing me is Bell had to have shown that he only signed with the Jets for the money. Gase had a hell of a back in Ajayi and managed to flush that running game down the toilet. So back to the OP, how does Gase not tie up that loose end before TC?!?

Nice post Shaw, always enjoyed reading your rockpile review. I wanna be optimistic, but there's just too much history to set aside for me to "drink the kool aid" as they say. Allen did show a lot of good things last year and I really hope he takes his game to the next level. But I also want to see how good this defense is gonna be. If Oliver is as good as advertised, Milano doesn't lose a step, and Tre White reverts to being more of the ballhawk he was in his rookie year, then you may be spot on with your belief on this season.

Maybe he can show Ryan Tannehill where he screwed up

Geez, Jet fans would really lose their minds if the Bills somehow landed this guy. Gase wouldn’t be able to leave the stadium for anything

Given Gase’s comments after the GM was fired, that’s a strong possibility

Can’t express enough sorrow and gratitude to Pancho and his family. Hope this brings out the team’s inner fire for the upcoming season. R.I.P Pancho

Dr. House wouldn’t bother with Ansah, too boring

Well I see people saying he’s slow, and some are also saying he scored 32 TDs last season. If there’s a correlation, lol who cares?

Agreed, with all the hype of Beane trading up up to this point, he gets praise for patience. Love the pick as well

I still can't believe he just flushed his career down the toilet. I hope he gets back on track and wish him the best but geez, we had one hell of a back with him.

Well this shouldn't be too hard of a sell, play for a team on the rise or get worked to death playing for a team trying to tank
