  1. I dont think they want to back into the playoffs. After having their worst defensive showing i doubt they want to lose to Tennesse only face them the following week
  2. Doent mean that is what they will do. I think its a legitimate and the Colts have a poor roster with limited cap space. Ne coach new Qb? crazier things have happend. Brees with San Diego.
  3. #1 Sam Darnold #2 josh Allen Both bigger guys with live arms. Darnold is more polished but Allen imo has more upside.
  4. Allen lead Wyoming to back to back Bowl games for the first time since 1987-1988. The year before Allen started they were 2-10. Its not as easy looking at his numbers or that they went to some B.S pre Christmas bowl and say well what did he do? Sure he didn't win a national title but he won more games there in 2 years than they did in 30 years before him.
  5. He doesn't throw bubble screens from the spread for half his throws like the majority of college qbs do now. He makes throws that no other qb in the draft can.
  6. Worst thing you can do imo is play a Qb before he is ready. Some Qbs take a year or some walk into the building ready. Idk what the rookie will be so I would hedge my bets and have an adequate qb in place to mitigate any pressure to force them on the filed before being ready. Unless I find an improvement over Taylor i keep him as Qb. He is about average but still would keep the team competitive and give the Bills the ability to bring in free agent this off season. No reason to cut off your despite your face. If you miss out on the Qb you want you are stuck with your pants down. Their are alot of teams that need Qbs and Buffalo is 20 spots away so I would play it safe and have an adequate starter before draft time.
  7. Best hope is Cleveland gets cute again and fall in love with Baker Mayfield. They have 2 top 4 picks so they dont have to worry about falling out of the top 5. Pick up additional 2 First rounders and a mid rounder may makes sense to them Buffalo can pick whichever QB they want.
  8. If I am Cleveland I would say something along the lines I wont bring in somebody that doesnt want to be here. Get Both Darnold and Rosen to come out than draft whichever one I like more. I dont have to interview or have a personal workout, i would draft the best player and if you dont want to play QB for the Browns you dont have to play football.
  9. Watching live i thought the play was blown dead before he reached out the ball. That is why the refs were running from the outside to the spot while Lewis was still stretching out. Regardless those 2 calls at the end of half and the would be 4th down stop Buffalo seemed to lose focus and soon there after the game. With all the noise and talk coming form Buffalo still I am worried that they will be too emotional or ill prepared for the Dolphins.
  10. With his size, athletism, and arm strength there ia no doubt to me that QB will be Allen. Too many teams need a qb. I dont see Allen or Jackson making out of the top half of rd 1 with either going top 5. Both are so rare physically i think a team moves up to get them.
  11. I like the potential there is with Allen. Has the best arm ive seen in a long time. Mayfield to me is an all time great college player and do not see how translates to the NFL. Oklahoma is loaded with Talent and the Big 12 doesnt play defense. Give me the big guy with the big arm who is from cold weather.
  12. Very simply. Clear and obvious or stay with the call on field. Cut down on the replays keep more plays.
  13. They are finishing at worst 8-8. The weakness on defense was secondary last year now it is a strength. Benjamin looks like a premier pass catcher. After the NE game you can see that Taylor is not good enough to win us the east. He is good imo to get us a wildcard. That is not the goal but at minimum you want the ability to make the playoffs. If a vet is brought in that is better he is gone, if not i keep taylor and have a minimum of play they need to beat. Buffalo is in a good position capwise for FA and draft equity going into the draft. They should be in postion next yr for a playoff spot, if Brady slips maybe the division.
  14. That was a terrible call. Call was close. When you sink both angles when the ball is in Bemjamins gut you can see the black rubber come up right after. Where is the evidence that says he was out of bounds on video? Their isnt any
  15. But it would have been the right move. After maybe a superbowl fringe MVP season. If he wins its because Rodgers and Wentz both missed significant time. What would they have gotten? 2 first? A First and 2 defensive starters? He could have revamped the roster top to bottom and been set up for another 10 years. Yes Garrapalo is unproven but on draft day this past year and a team with 2 first round picks calls about your back up Qb why would you tell them no and not even listen to offers if you dont want to keep him long term. The trading of Brissett and Garapalo for next to nothing seems reactionary and poor foresight Both things you could never describe Bill as. Imo complete circumstantial and just piecing the things that has been leaked together. Bill has had a head nod unspoken thing that Garapalo was going to be franchised or sign long term after this season. He also was going to arm Brady with the tools ride off like Elway. Bill went as far to removing Brady's trainer access because he was not in the future plans and wanted to cut to be clean and seamless at the end of the year. I believe when his trainer was demoted removed what have you it become very clear Bill was moving on. He felt this way for awhile that is why he released his health stuff not only for profit but put some evidence to his claims he can play past 45. At this point Brady has a sit down with Kraft and Kraft then made it clear to Bill Brady was going to retire a Patriot and they were not going to commit long term to Garapalo. This was a few days before the dead line so Bill looked at the standings and called the the worst record in the NFC. So he will not face him multiple times a year. The same guy he wouldnt listen to about Garapalo he now calls and loses all leverage and takes the best offer they had.
  16. Edelman was no where near the passer Taylor was in college. He won big games and put up good numbers in a power 5 conference and led them to a conference title. Taylor having a career record over 500 as a NFL QB makes him a top 20 QB in a Qb starved league. Apples to trucks
  17. After those 3 first quarter Tds it was it. He could have pulled a Deon Sanders at the combine and just took off the rest of of tje game. Those 3 passes are all they need to see to go top 10 probably top 5. Josh Allen beats out peterman tomorrow and after 2 preseason games creates a groundswell of support to beat out any fringe starter/ backup. Only option would be to have Taylor and Allen battle it out. Tie goes to the rookie. I put Allen's potential the highest of any qb. Seems like the perfect northern qb. Not a fan of bringing a southern california kid to Buffalo.
  18. Allens team did struggle vs power 5 teams that is no doubt true. Im not sure how much of that struggle is on Allen when he was the only player on the feild for Wyoming physcially gifted to play at that level. Jackson vs Clemson had a big run and big pass in garbage time. I dont see how Jackson is a better pro Qb prospect than Allen to be honest. His mechanics footwork and pocket awareness all seem below Allen at this stage of their developments.
  19. Bill is not sabatoging anything. I think Kraft told Bill he couldnt move Brady. If Bill wanted to trade Jimmy G he would have done so draft day and would have gotten a kings ransom. From the reported offers Bill turned down a second rd mid season seems very weak. Its pretty clear Jimmy G is the best qb they have had behind Brady. Just so happens Brady is 40. Its not the 04 Pats when Brady missed a year but was in his prime and improving. The same team cassel took to 11 wins brady didnt lose but 1 game with. This season looks liks the beginning of the end of the Dynasty to me. To me Bill always wanted to end the discussion, is it Tom's greatness or Billicheich's system/coaching. He went all in for one last superbowl for Brady this year. Trading their early picks for vetran players. After the season Imo he either wanted Tom to step aside and retire hence the report im playing til im atleast 45. More likley he was poised to sell him off for a kings randsom which after those comments was the reality. Kraft who was a fan before he was an owner did a thing a fan would do picked his QB. History of the NFL says you let a player go a season early not a season late. That has been the Patriot way more realisticly the Bill way. Looking at the Patriots today they are not deep or overly athletic. Brady would have hauled them picks maybe even a player or 2. Now they are all in this year and Bill imo leaves a year too early or leaves a year too late.
  20. Allen has made himself some money with this game. He has every tool you want. A little raw but has the potential to be special. If I was Buffalo i would move into the top 5 for him. I think he is the clear number 3 behind Rosen and Darnold but not that far off.
  21. I dont know if Bortles will make the plays to win those games but he will have the opportunity to. I want for nothing more than Buffalo sneaking into the playoffs and knocking the Jags out that would be fantastic.
  22. I like it. Pass the spiked eggnog and here is to all of us having the merriest Christmas in terms of the Bills in a long time. Honestly, it is the most winnable game Buffalo has had in NE that Brady is playing the whole the game in 17 years.
  23. It is in my nature to swing for the fences, So if both Rosen and Darnold come out I would trade up for either. If neither team listens than I am going for Allen. He could be a bust but he is the most talent prospect in the draft.
  24. They 100% are. Elite defense and run game travels. No one in the AFC want to play Jacksonville.
  25. Do I expect Buffalo to win? I do not. Im also not going to discount them until the game is over. If Taylor doesn't throw that terrible pick the first time they are in that game to the end. If the Dolphins can smoke them I am not discounting Buffalo chances to pull the upset. They are not the same team as in years past. The defense is not that good and the offense is not explosive. A few plays on the defense and Taylor gets into a rythem Buffalo has a 50/50 chance.
