Chicken Boo

I'm not worried about the offense here as much as I'm worried about the defense vs NE's rushing attack. They're too much for Mac Jones, but Damien Harris is like a hot knife through butter. In 2 games, 28 carries for 214 yards and 4 TDs. A 7.64 ypc average. That's worrisome.

I would hope Reich is smart enough to swing for the fences or stand pat. Trubisky is a lateral move. They'd be better off going after Matt Ryan in a trade.

So the Bills finished ahead of teams like the Broncos, Vikings, Packers and Bengals in rushing. Lies, damn lies and stats...

I believe that's how the Bills will be or are viewed as long as Allen is QB.

With a young QB, I'm sure they want an offense guy. I know I would.

Comes with the territory of being a perennial contender. Upper echelon franchise problems.

There has to be a method to the madness, right? Maybe Deshaun has the coach he wants in mind and they've been talking behind closed doors?

I hate the 18 game schedule and the additional playoff slot, but I have to admit that I love that there's going to be a Monday Night Wild Card game. That's pretty cool.

Without question, I'd rather the Bills play the Patriots. Always go with the lesser evil at QB, particularly when that QB has Austin Ekeler, Keenan Allen, Mike Williams and other very good role players.

That felt like a playoff game. Very physical.

This is far worse, in my opinion. Particularly when you have an MVP candidate who's also the leading rusher in football.

I feel like Laquon Treadwell has been in the league forever. He's only 26.

In total agreement. Just wait until it's 20 games...

Watson is the perfect fit for NO and Payton can afford to mortgage the future a bit as the Saints are ready to win now.

That's what I gather as well. I'm thinking he wanted to hit the escalators that game and not have to play in week 18.

Take into account that players play hurt all the time. They even elect to put off needed surgery until it's convenient. It happens often. He went out with the injury in week 7 and didn't return until he was "medically cleared" in week *16. Likely to meet his escalators, which would explain the 15 targets he received. He had 10 catches for 101 yards. I'd wager he received an injection before that game as well. I have my own opinion on what happened, whether it's true or not. Antonio played hurt, returned for the good of the team and to reach his bonuses and wasn't happy with his involvement in the game plan. Knowing he would eventually need surgery on his ankle, he had that excuse in his back pocket whenever he needed it and here we are.

Imagine complaining about not getting targets after getting 15 the previous week from Brady and having 5 targets so far in the Jets game before he stormed off the field in the 3rd quarter - not to mention still having the season finale against Carolina the following week. There is no controversy here. Good riddance.

I wouldn't pay Ridley the money that he's going to command. I'm all for giving Gabe and Isaiah more playing time.

If the Browns can get a haul for Mayfield, I'd ship him without question. Their offense revolves around the running game. I believe they could get similar production from Jimmy Garoppolo without having to break the bank and also not having to tie their hands for the foreseeable future.

Packers. I love watching Rodgers play.

Are there Bears in Chicago?

Gotcha. I still don't believe it makes as much of a difference as some think when it comes to playing quarterback. Everyone wants to point at the lower scores, but I'd imagine there are more who score higher that are absolutely terrible at the position.

I don't understand how eras come into play regarding the wonderlic.

I don't believe the wonderlic matters. Marino, Kelly, McNabb, Lamar, McNair, etc. either didn't score particularly high or high at all. Same for the sucky QBs that score high. It's football. If you're trying to determine if a QB can process things quickly, how about an on-field football related drill?
