  1. Anyone else notice on that PFF report that Tyrod ranks 32 in time to throw?
  2. At least it's not Foxboro. Phones would cut out every time an AFC team tried to make a pick.
  3. 1. Relocation 2. NFL moving all games to an exclusive or PPV format. 3. Conclusive proof of game fixing. 4. Conclusive proof of draft fixing.
  4. There is an opportunity this year. More so than I originally thought. However, Dennison will have to find a way to generate some semblance of an offense because if they go 3 and out a lot and force the defense to play 70 percent of each game its going to be a long season. Sharpen your pencil, Rick. If you can scrape together about 20 points a game and control the clock, you might have a chance.
  5. Or draft/acquire better offensive linemen. Ditto with qb while we're at it.
  6. I hope you're right. Ideally they don't have to sell the farm to get a rookie qb. They need one, but also need to replenish offensive line and multiple other places on this team. Qb is primary, but need help all over the place.
  7. Ok, then expand practice squads and add a few extra roster spots so you don't have to cut a promising young player just because you lost 3 or 4 players to injuries all at once and need to sign street guys to plug holes. Seems counterproductive.
  8. It seems a waste of a good start to this season, but not sure what move they could make at this point. I believe their ultimate goal was to build a solid foundation for future years, which means sacrifices in the short term. They gambled on receiving corps being ok enough with strong defense. Didn't work in Cincinnati. Some weeks it will, others they'll come up a bit short. I hope they come up with something brilliant, but most likely mediocre at best.
  9. True, but I don't believe baseball or even hockey experiences injuries at the same rate as football. Also, playing only 16 games, if a key player misses 6 games, its a bigger deal than in baseball, where you have 162 games and an extensive minor league system to replenish from. Even in hockey you have 82 games and once again a minor league to pull temporary help from.
  10. How dramatic is the Bills offense going to be as it looks right now? Not saying more players definitely helps, but adding nothing like they're basically stuck with is gonna make a pretty boring, predictable, and inneffective offense.
  11. You have a point. As specialized as position players inthe NFL are, along with the frequency of injury, you'd think they would allow more.
  12. Yeah, but maybe not enough ps positions to be truly helpful. Would it kill the NFL to offer a few more?
  13. In not saying unlimited rosters, just 5 to 10 more guys so you're not utterly screwed when injuries happen. They may not be great, but at least they're already trained.
  14. Its only October. I wouldn't declare Watson great just yet. Lets see how he does once teams get some good film on him, and once the weather turns lousy. There gave been plenty of September superstars over the years who can't cut it for the long haul. Only time will tell.
  15. Just a question that's bugged me in recent years. Why are NFL rosters so restricted? Teams basically are allowed no depth and you can't even keep guys in the building to train in your system. Sometimes they have to cut guys they like to make room somewhere else because of injuries. Wouldn't league quality improve as a whole if teams could keep and develop more of their own players? I'd love to have this explained please.
  16. Realistically, I'm not aware of anyone who could come in off the street and make an immediate, significant difference. I agree with most if the posters here that they won't trade any draft capital either. Like it or not, there are backup players on this team. They are paid for this exact scenario. They made an NFL roster so they must have some level of talent. At this point, we'll have to see what OLeary is capable of. Logan Thomas hasn't been used much. I know next to nothing about Lee, so I'm not going to sit here and tell you he sucks. Its a temporary problem, and this is how teams deal with temporary problems.
  17. Bills could also go 5-11 and its not that crazy. No offense means defense ends up playing about 75 percent of the game, which leads to more injuries. A healthy defense holding opponents under 20 points gives the bills a shot, but if the score goes higher, they have virtually no chance. Unless they can get healthy and stay that way, their early success is not sustainable.
  18. Not sure there's anyone available at this point that's worth much. They gambled on Matthews' and Clay's health and got burned. No one left but cast-offs and rejects. Good luck trading for anything other than someone else's problem.
  19. 1. He's played 3 games. 2. Taylor isn't Brady or Rogers 3. Dennison still implementing new. system. 4. This team has no true #1 wr to draw coverage.
  20. Today was a pleasant surprise. Great job. But it's one game. Put my serving of crow in the freezer, check back with me in a few weeks. If things continue to go well and they break the drought, I'll eat it all with a side of humble pie.
