Only thing I would have done differently is kept Murphy over Yeldon. Gore is a warrior.

I wanted Rosen over any of the other four. I felt he was the most pro ready guy in the draft, and when Roger got up and said Josh I was yelling Rosen!!!. When he said Allen I was very disappointed. But of course it appears my reaction was wrong, based on early results. Allen fits the Bills and the city, and I see a bright future for him. I also still see a bright future for Rosen, if he can get to a team that can actually protect him and is not the dregs of the league. The question now with Rosen is whether his attitude may be such that he won't succeed. I didn't and still don't think Mayfield or Darnold had what it takes to be a great NFL QB, although to be fair neither of them have had great coaching as of yet. Mayfield has a guy that's never been a HC anywhere taking the reins and Darnold has Gase so enough said there. The real shocker is Jackson. I think there are very few people who could have envisioned the impact he's having so early in his career.

Except the article says Peko plays the 1 and Taylor is more a combo 1/3

1. Offense: Keep the ball out of Brady’s hands. Run game - go at Gilmore’s side with runs cause he won’t tackle. Pray Singleton can play. Lot of play action, short throws and they take the deep shot when they cheat up. No mistakes!!! No dumb off sides, no dumb throws back over the middle. Have to be smart 2. Defense: Only thing that potentially affects Brady is pressure up the middle. Play LoZo and Shaq inside, stunt a lot to free them and Oliver to pressure up the middle. Edmunds has to control the middle short routes. DBs have to keep the ball in front of them. And all this is if we can control their run game - odds are they run the ball like they did the game at our place last year until and unless we can show we stop them. Guys like Edmunds, Milano, Oliver, Neal - time to our on the big boy pants.

We’ll be 4-0.

They should play him just to listen to John Murphy try to pronounce his name.

It is not a lame excuse and it is fairly accurate. Or have you not been watching football the past couple decades?

I thought his column was reasonable enough. Edmunds is a 21 year old still learning how to play the position. He needs to read better and fight off blocks more in the run game, but I think he's better in pass protection than Sal is giving him credit for. He'll continue to develop. Will Belichick and Brady exploit his relative youth and inexperience Sunday? Undoubtedly. Will having the GOAT HC and QB put one over on you mean Edmunds is terrible? Not unless that means every other MLB in the league is terrible when they play the Pats.

Us old folks don’t understand that new fangled stuff!

I don’t listen to WGR as I live in Indiana, but if I were I’d rather hear players after the game. That said, Geary is absolutely right. Go back and read some of the in game comments by some on this board. Hysteria puts it mildly.

Yes. A number of them. Can we stop with the incessant hyperbole?

Be prepared for the offense and Josh to have a tough day. Belichick is a master at confusing young QBs and their D has been impressive.

I have no idea what team you’ve been watching but Phillips has played well. Hate to see this but next man up. Bet Lawson sees time inside.

We’ll win one we shouldn’t win and lose one we shouldn’t lose like every season. My daughter and I tried to figure out how we could end up worse than10-6 and we couldn’t. Miami and the Jets are three more wins for sure.

But they’re not

I like the kid but he had 4 pretty obvious mistakes. The pick was the one that cost him. Throwing the ball back across his body to Sweeney he got away with, throwing to Knox (I think) near the goal line into double coverage while being chased was another mistake, and not getting down earlier in the fumble. He got away with the last 3. He’s making excellent progress and his 4th quarter heroics are great, he just has the smarter sometimes.

Yeah but he made the block for the winning TD. Allen was a B-/C+. Lot of guts that last drive but if he played smarter earlier the last drive would have been moot.

No one should be trying to diagnose here

Cramp

I’m glad we have Allen, he is showing he has it in clutch situations. But he has to get rid of the dumb decisions where he relies too much on arm strength. The throw back over the middle to Sweeney- even though completed that kind of pass gets picked off more than completed. Should have had another one picked off down the right side with an ill advised throw. And of course the one pick is the kind of thing you just cannot do. He’s doing well and these comebacks are great to see in a young QB. But as he matures he’ll find that he can put the game away long before needing a comeback.

You. Can’t. Do. Stupid. Stuff.

Dumb playcall but would help if Roberts and Jones blocked somebody

Love Allen but you cannot make that throw and the throw back over the middle from earlier.

People claiming he is no more accurate this year have no understanding of the term accuracy.

Just like last week. Matriculate the ball down the field boys.
