one mans fear mongering is another mans pragmatism. Josh needs to be Josh, but, Cam was considered indestructible as well, and it didnt last. all it takes is one shoulder injury on a goal line dive, or one head injury, or etc etc etc. getting older in the NFL is no joke. bodies start to break down overnight for some. while Josh is indeed an ironman up till this point, you never know. what really needs to change is the line needs to give him hours to sit back there and sling the ball with a clean pocket, the thing that made Brady and is making Mahomes look so good. we need receivers to get separation, a running game that is a threat, playcalling that doesnt rely on Josh making plays with his legs. this team needs Josh in the game, uninjured. the offense dropped off when the UCL hit, as expected. yes that was in the pocket, but it shows just how much this team relies on Josh being Josh. 3rd and 2, 13 seconds left, win or go home game? go be an athlete Josh. 3rd and 2, 8 minutes left in 1st quarter vs anybody regular season, caution. nothing wrong with being cautious.

good dude, marginal player. ez pz.

cant wait till its an elite player, one of the ones that you cant just say, hey, dis guy is a nobody, waive his ass. will be a bit different when its a top player. its inevitable.

exactly what i thought at the time watching Diggs blow up at Allen. the team as a whole looked so lethargic, so uninterested in the game, that i was fine with Diggs acting like a player who gave a s&#t compared to the rest of them. not saying they didnt, but man it looked bad.

to go 13-3 with a first year offensive coordinator, and a defensive HC who obviously doesnt help much with the offense, is no small thing, especially taking into account all the extra stuff that went on last season. Bills O started out fast, i imagine with a large dose of what they knew from the previous seasons O helping. Dorsey gets more comfortable, starts to add more of himself into the offense as time goes on, injuries happen, O becomes limited, then stagnate. still managed 13 wins. imma give Dorsey some rope. lets see what happens. the hate, whether its for a player, coach, whatever, is just something people do to try and cope with perceived failure of something theyre invested in. somebody has to be the fall guy. when in reality, if you look at things objectively, with a level head, and look at both the positives and negatives of a situation, you can make a more informed decision or opinion on something, and not look like a fool. lashing out emotionally rarely ever leads to a positive ending. also, keep in mind, eventually defenses/coaches get enough tape on a new coordinator, what his tendencies are, they adjust. if the coordinator cant adjust likewise, well, not going to be as easy. happens with players also. i wonder if Dorsey just didnt adjust enough, or were his hands tied by personnel and injuries. Josh's UCL injury was a bigger deal then was let on. defenses knew it and adjusted their gameplans. you could see it.

could very well be this ^. same thing happened in Minnesota. he got tired of the offense and Kirk and wanted out. now Josh is definitely not Cousins, but theres something here clearly. whether its personal between Diggs and Josh, or its an offensive thing, who knows. need to get this figured out before the season starts. McD and Beane are concerned. so that tells me that they dont really know whats upsetting Diggs. that tells me its a personal issue between Diggs and Josh, that the two of them need to work out. Coach and GM cant do much about that.

i wonder if letting Edmunds go created a problem between Frazier and McD. could just be a coincidence but i get that feeling.

Colin isnt wrong about this. i think any Bills fan with half a brain knows that the lines are always a problem, regular and post season. have we fixed OLine? mbe, remains to be seen. Saffold being gone is a major step in the right direction. the national media may miss the intricacies of our team, but it just comes down to, Bills cant run the ball, and cant rush the passer. if you cant do at least 1 of those 2 things with consistency, you're not winning Super Bowls. we cant do either as of yet.

not a fan of these international games for my team. i get the reasons why they exist. it puts players and teams who are very structured outside their comfort zones and is shows on the field. the following weeks game usually suffers as well. this isnt a "home" game for our Bills. its an unneeded distraction for a team that will have to play at their very best every friggen week to keep up with the murderers row of teams in the AFC, especially for any chance at homefield in the playoffs.

id seriously take a look at him on the cheap. CB was not a solid position for us last season. Tre did not look like Tre (who knows if he will bounce back this year). Elam couldnt get on the field with any kind of regularity for some reason. add in the injuries to Benford who may be a better option at safety. least Levi has the experience. was he consistent? mostly. there was always 1 play per game where you shook your head though. he was a solid #2 that played the majority of snaps, with offenses absolutely targeting him as much as possible, he also, imo, drew alot of flags that were very questionable from the Refs. the anti Sauce, who gets away with more uncalled fouls than any CB ive ever watched play.

we didnt get anything for Edmunds? sure we did, 5 years of LB on the cheap. he played ok, not worth that contract he got from Chi town though, imo. i still remember him launching into the wrong gap in his rookie year against the run, letting a team that was backed up on their own 2 year line, break a 60 yard run. i thought, well mbe he'll learn from that, hes a rookie. still shot the wrong gap all the time. still couldnt tackle with leverage. he was good at clogging up the middle on passing plays, not good enough when it mattered, but good some of the time. beyond that, what did he bring? mbe im wrong and and my eyes deceive me. we'll see. you cant pay every position top dollar. when it comes to Ed. is he sought after? are teams salivating to get their hands on him? doesnt feel that way. Ed has been lackluster tbh. if we get nothing for him as you say, oh well. again, got 5 years of him on the cheap. not every guy is actually worth something.

looking that way.

meh, Pack had to let him go eventually. got what they could. good for them. one less headache in the lockeroom. if the Jets dont make a run this year, its a waste of their picks.

not giving up more than a 3rd rounder for DHop with that contract. youre doing Zona a favor just taking his contract away from them, let alone give them picks. im betting nobody bites on trading for DHop and Zona just ends up releasing him. contract is gone, then teams with tight caps can have him at a discount.

i so hope this bows up on the Jets. i honestly dont care about Rodgers being their QB tbh, i think hes just about done. never been a fan of Rodgers, think hes an entitled douche. hope he has to go back to GB with his tail between his legs, or just outright retires. every friggen offseason is the ARod show and its boring. hes pulling the same crap Farve did at the end of his career. it was tiresome then, and its tiresome now. ARod and Farve held GB for ransom every offseason, leveraged as much money as possible. while some might think thats smart, it is, for Farve or Rodgers. not the team, or the fans. GB is a small market team, paying outrageous amounts to the QB hamstrung them in being able to build a team. both of them could have had multiple SB wins if they hadnt been so greedy. then they shift the blame to the FO everytime the team fails. its not about the team or fans though. its about them.

guy played great when he wasnt injured. best ability, is availability. Lions have had enough apparently. doesnt mean he cant still be a good player, if he stays healthy. was thinking the same thing. ive never seen a rookie CB get less calls while being blatantly obvious. almost felt like he paid all the refs off.

only on a 2 year restructured team friendly deal, and only if giving up late round picks. other than that, no.

i dont know if its that easy to quantify positions like this guy does. ill say one thing though, that OLine number doesnt shock me one bit. its the reason, always been the reason, why we cant get over the hump, and fall short each year.

cheating? bending the rules until they nearly break? underpaying Tom Brady? funneling money into Tom's charity to make up the difference? i cant really explain how they managed to stay so good for so long tbh. Belicheat has never drafted particularly well. they bought a few decent free agents over the years but nobody world breaking. mbe it was just the system with a HoF QB, mbe it was more. before a late round QB who was terrible in college became the best ever, Belicheck was a middling coach who even the Browns thought was garbage. suddenly a light bulb turned on somewhere for Bill. mbe he just got lucky. seems like hes back to being a middling coach now.

guess the drops added up.

the answer at RB is, a better friggen OLine. any RB is hard pressed to get much going behind our usual OLines. Devin routinely has to dodge guys 3 yards in the backfield. its not because hes just sitting there waiting for them to tackle him. has been an issue for awhile. one of the biggest reason we cant close out games and get in so many shootouts. even Josh running around is usually due to guys in the backfield immediately. people looking for that magic RB thats going to cure all our running game problems. he doesnt exist.

hope the Cowgirls get exactly what they paid for. nothing.

Macaroni Jones is still the Pats QB right? snore, wake me when the WRs have somebody to throw to them. Pats have been throwing money and picks at WRs and TEs since Brady left, none of them stick. theres one constant here, bad QB play.

this makes the Jets a contender for the east imo. b4 Breece Hall got hurt the offense wasnt terrible, and their D is Legit good. comes down to whether or not the Jets can protect Rodgers in the pocket.

never been a fan of Rodgers tbh. he def talented, one of the greats skill wise. i like him even less now after the ramp up to this announcement. ill give him credit for telling Schefter to lose his number though, thats top tier right there. Jets are getting a guy who will kill their cap, said he was 90% retired. has mbe 2 or 3 years left, didnt play great last year, and will have to give up something valuable to get this trade done. unless they go all in on the OLine, and try to win a SB next season , i dont see this being good for the Jets. then again, anybody will be better at QB for the Jets than what they had last year. whatever.
