Sammy Watkins' Rib

You mean Joe Webb. It's really a miracle we made the playoffs this year. I mean if Webb doesn't connect with Thompson late in that game we lose that game.

Hauschka? Seriously, he was clutch in some close games this year.

Just made my donation.

So I have McCoy, Gurley, Elliot and Collins. I drafted McCoy and Gurley 1 and 2 and picked up both Collins and Elliot a few weeks ago. I have to bench one of the three. I was leaning towards benching McCoy earlier in the week in favor of Collins easy match up against the Colts. Now I am thinking of reversing that. I think Elliot is a must start. Same for Gurley despite the tougher match up.

More like a raw Blake Bortles.

Hold him to 2 catches for 23 yards and no TDs while heading home to Buffalo with a W. That's how we should handle it.

It feels to me like we play closer games that at least stay more competitive for longer in New England vs in Buffalo. Of course one game didn't future Brady at all and one for only a half.

Anytime you have rookie in the running for DROY they should be an automatic for the Pro Bowl. That said, White will probably be snubbed but make it as an alternate.

This is one of the cooler things I have seen this year. Too bad you couldn't really hear it live with Aikman talking during the broadcast. Might be cool if you could hear more in the moment talk like that during the broadcasts.

I see that as subjective. How does one go about quantifying the success the Rams have had vs. the Bills. Rams have two more wins then the Bills on the season while playing a tougher SOS and having a higher SOV percentage. Rams are the highest scoring team in the league. (Bills 10th worst) Rams have the 5th best scoring defense in the league. (Bills right in the middle at 16) Rams have the best point differential in the league at +166. (Bills -42 is the worst of any team with a .500 record or better). While I agree it's probably a miracle this team is 8-6, I can't easily say McDermott has done more than McVay even factoring in the rosters. The Rams are completely dominating the league in some categories.

No. But McVay has actually built something in LA that will likely be very good for a number of years to come. IF the Bills make the playoffs, in a down year for the AFC, they surely won't be favorites to make the playoffs again next season.

Pretty much this. Which was fine at the time because we had Reed and Quinn Early combining for 1600 yards in 96 and 97.

But you know to make a fair comparison you would also have to get rid of all the non catch-able targets that the other rookies received. So after controlling for that, would Zay's numbers look pretty good for a rookie as you say? Seem doubtful. It's like the old, subtract the (Insert Bills QB name here) INTs that went off the receivers hands and his interception numbers compared to other QBs don't look to bad argument.

One more year vs. three more years is a huge difference in perception. I stand by the thought that he only needs one more year with us and he will be honored after he is inducted into the HOF.

IF Miami somehow upsets the Chiefs in Kansas City, and we assume the Titans lose to the Rams, they actually will have a pretty favorable situation going into week 17 to make the wild card at 8-8 in a four way tie with us the Chargers and the Titans. That's pretty crazy. Miami absolutely needs to lose to KC if both the Titans and Bills lose next Sunday as expected. Of course, I'm not sure what realistic scenarios get us in at 8-8, so it's sort of irrelevant as we will have to beat Miami week 17 if we don't beat New England this week. I'm just thinking if it goes down that way, Miami's odds of the wild card at that point will be better than ours since they will likely be favored down in Miami.

We did win the majority of them. Went 8-3 over those 11 games.

You can't just pretend like the three games didn't happen though. That 3 game losing streak was huge in a season where we will be playing a meaningful week 17 game.

We've been beaten by the Patriots so many different ways over the course of the 17 year drought it's impossible to predict how they will beat us this Sunday. My guess is that since Brady already had his stinker of a game against us, they will probably beat us with Brady throwing for 400 yards and 4 TDs.

The defense drives me crazy. Can't say they have been good because of all the long sustained drives against them, lack of QB pressure etc. But can't say they have been terrible either because other than the 3 game losing streak they've kept teams under 24 points (and most under 20) all year with the exception of the Bucs.

If he were to retire after this season it would be hard for me to put him in the HOF. But if we project 2-3 more 1000 yard seasons for him I think he makes it on longevity. Other than TDs, his overall numbers do look better than Lynch's and while starting 10 fewer games. And some people feel that Lynch is a HOFer at only 9800 career rushing yards. Of course in today's game, it's probably not fair to expect a RB to go over 13 or 14 thousand rushing yards. They just aren't use the same way. McCoy has over 1000 more receving yards then Lynch in 10 fewer games started. McCoy only has one truly dominant season on his resume but he's been consistent enough and good enough that he'll make it into the HOF by the time he retires. As far as our WOF. I think he makes it if he sticks around for one more season. I'm hoping he can continue to be productive and stick around for 2-3 more years. He's been quoted as saying that he thinks he can play a longtime at a high level. Sort of the RB version of Brady. Would love to see that.

That would be awesome.

Just get one of Rosen, Darnold, Mayfield or Jackson and I'll be happy.

I think we will see a significant change, in a decade+ in how the talent in the NFL is developed. Fewer and fewer kids might play in high school. But if a college coach from a BCS school comes calling on a kid who plays track and field and basketball and is willing to give the kid a full scholarship it may be too hard for some kids and really legally adults once they are in college, to turn down. As long as money remains at the college level, the NFL should still have a football factory at the college level. The other possibility is that it could also open up doors for other countries to send their kids to American universities.

Can never hear at the sports bar anyone.

Brady always talks and is professional but very PC. Very really actually gives you any good quotes. I don't necessarily think he believes half of what he says. But he does act how you would want your QB to act. Bill B. on the other hand is a horses butt for the most part.
