tired of Dareus, willing to bet the FO is tired of him as well. Not much u can do though, cant eat the cap hit. So you just continue on until the problem can resolve itself naturally. He acts up, fine him, He does it again, fine him, rinse repeat. Dont let him poison the locker room, he will be gone eventually.

people still acting like Watkins will be a 1st ballot HoFer. Guy couldnt stay on the field, and didnt have a QB that can use him correctly. Final year of his rookie contract, with an injury issue that often repeats itself in WRs. Really surprised the FO moved on from him? If, he mbe, had one solid full season of work, 2yrs removed from his lingering injury, and Tyrod showed any kind of improvement, Watkins would still be here.
Not gonna shell out for a FA WR with Watkins' history. So the FO gets what it can for him. Seems logical.
Way this preseason has gone, would be lucky to hit .500 even with Watkins, then what? Another mid first round draft pick with no playoffs? Heard this song before, and it sucks. We cant get free agents to come here, so we gotta build through the draft. end of story. Now we have draft capital, instead of reaching and being caught in draft hell, like the last 10 years.
Find the QB, give him 3 years to learn, Brady retires, then mbe we're relevant again.

Harbaugh has a look on his face like somebody just told him the world is really flat. Best part of the first half imo.
-
i like Petermans effort on that crap screen play, but hes gotta learn to not block like that. Cut block or get outta the way. dont need QB leading with his shoulder/head trying to block a busted play.

seen enough, get McCoy outta there now....

well, end of that drive and the punt, very Billsy

does Taylor make that throw?

TT looks exactly as he did week 8-15 last season- Watkins trade will prove to be horrible
did our pass protection look like Tyrod would have been able to get Sammy the ball on the only route Tyrod seems to be able to throw, the sideline bomb? Btw, that throw Tryod is sooo good at, its a low percentage play. Dont care how good he is at it. It rarely moves the chains. This offensive showing tonight is the reason they let Sammy go, might as well get something for him.
You can have a future HoF reciever, and if u dont have anybody to get him the ball, doesnt matter how good he is.
-
And, I still think they sold low. This reminds me of the Lynch trade, I'm sure they could have gotten more for him, if that was the plan.
the thing about the Lynch trade, the whole league knew Lynch didnt want to be here, Lynch was an off-field problem on multiple occasions. Bills had very little leverage in dealing Lynch. Lucky we got what we did.
-
I hated it because I think that 24 year-olds with his talent are the guys that are crucial in a rebuild. I could have understood trading Shady for example. By the time you are ready to win he will be on his last legs. By the time that you are ready to win Watkins might be a top 3 receiver.
cept Shady produces. sure hes older, high cap number, but he produces.
-
what has Sammy done to make him untradeable? people acting like hes a first ballot hall of famer on a perrenial super bowl winner. Hes barely been on the field for half his career games. He has a QB that rarely gets him the ball. Hes in a contract year with an injury that hobbles the best recievers mutliple times. You dont let a guy go for nothing, and u dont overpay for somebody u have no idea will earn that money. He wasnt reliable. Reliablility>potential upside. All i see here is a smart business decision.
As for Darby, he was bad for half the season last year......dunno y, dont really care, but if u dont think he "fits", and hes shown a tendency to be bad, then make the move.
These are logical moves. This league is all about what have u done for me lately?, and what are u worth? Cant fall in love with guys. Its a business.
-
I disagree with this. A healthy Sammy impacts the entire game. He's the only guy on the roster to stretch the field. That pulls the safeties away from the line and opens the middle for Clay and the running game. In addition he requires help at all times leaving others singled. Watkins presence influences every play even if the ball isn't thrown in his direction.
while this is all true, we dont use Clay or the middle of the field anyways.

been waiting for a successful screen pass for years, ty Bills
-
to be clear:
criticism of the QB is to be interpreted as trolling?
appears so, gets u a ban as well...
-
i know its only preseason game1, but i cant wait to watch all the missed holding calls this year when our d-line is out there. they look ferocious, and ive seen at least 3 missed holds already. liking our d-lines effort so far.
-
Barrett isnt a QB. Ohio St, while being an excellent college program doesnt run an offense that produces NFL caliber QBs. Just not setup that way. This coming from a lifelong Buckeyes fan. Avoid their QBs like the plague.
Now if u wanna draft RB, DB, OL, from the Bucks, go for it.
-
edelman isnt a star, hes a product of their offense. hes also a pompus prick, but he sure moves the chains. welker did the exact same thing, that tells me its the offensive scheme that is more important than the players.
too bad they didnt break each others jaws tho, would have been a nice.
-
That is demonstrably false. Defenses have to commit a player on many downs to the run threat that Tyrod poses. McCoy is often a beneficiary of this, as he has to worry about one fewer linebacker. It doesn't matter if defenses are playing the run, because they are also playing short-handed. It doesn't give them an advantage because they still have no idea where the ball is going. It's not the same concept as playing the run against a non-mobile QB and knowing that the RB will get the ball regardless of the situation.
so being able to cheat a safety up on the line or keep an extra LB as a spy in the box doesnt allow the defense to put more pressure on run downs? i disagree with your assessment. much easier to run the ball with a safety 15 yrds deep instead of 7.

See post # 314....3rd line......
As far as no names......Ty Law, Revis, McCourthy, Browner, Butler, Asante Samuel.....Rodney Harrison......etc....that's just in the secondary.....Vince Wilfork, Richard Seymour, Bruschi, Vrabel, Ninkowicz, McGinest...Junior Seau.....Hightower...Collins.....we'll agree to disagree.......
My main point is I think NE's defense is often underrated because we focus on Brady.....Belichick is rarely putting a bad defense on the field......
See post # 314...3rd line......
Vince Wilfork, Richard Seymour, Bruschi, Vrabel, Ninkowicz, McGinest......Hightower...Collins, what do they have to do with the Pats secondary? ill agree to disagree, np there, but ive never thought of any Pats defense as top 10, ever. they get the job done no doubt, but they can be scored on. all the years of playing the pats and its always been the offense that worried me.
Go Bills

You may have made my point.
Tyrod is a different kind of threat, Very real and palpable..
2016 Teams decided to make him play QB. He struggled. But he still made plays and the offense still scored points.
And Broncos proved that Defenses still can win games
you made my point, that a gamemanager needs a spectacular defense to win. do we have a spectacular defense? we might now, nobody knows yet, certainly didnt have it last year. btw, Tyrod is the wrong kind of threat, when defenses only have to play the run it certainly makes it easier on them.
-
Not the Jags, Doug is just going to hand it off on every play!
I pray the Jets acquisition of Kaepernick allows them to win enough games to miss the best guys.
i dont think u can classify what the Jets have this year as an NFL team. thats how bad they will be. of course its part of the plan tho.
-
Peyton did. just by game management
he was still a threat, and how good was Denvers defense that season?
-
You did say it " never was impressive "....in the early SB teams, they had Ty Law , Otis Smith and Lawyer Milloy.......in the 2014 SB, they had Revis, Browner , McCourthy and a certain rookie named Butler.....
Find me a defensive stat that's more important than pts allowed....
If anything, NE's defense is always underrated because everyone talks non stop about their offense....
In last year's SB, they held the historically good Atlanta offense to 21 pts.....I would say it was terrible.....and completely blank them for the last quarter and a half....
clearly i never wrote "never". Pats go through defensive backs like we go through QBs. that tells me they find the spot plug and play. the majority of their secondary players are no names, sure a few stick. and every once in awhile they open the bank for one. but none of that made me fear their defense last year when we played them.
and if it wasnt for a colossal fail on the falcons' defense, we'd be talking about how much fun it was to watch the Pats lose that game and how their defense stunk.

If people were expecting a gunslinger QB in TT, then they were wrong. He was brought in to manage a strong running game, limit turnovers, and have a very good defense behind him. Ryan let him down with the defensive play more often than not.
How many game manager QBs have won Super Bowls without a Hall of Fame caliber defense? How many run first QBs have won one? of course people werent expecting Tyrod to be a gunslinger. Kinda why half of Bills nation wants him gone, yesterday. The goal is to win it all, not be happy we made the playoffs. You honestly think Tyrod can take you to the promised land?
So who's YOUR starting qb?

i like what Peterman has showed. Hits guys accurately in stride, uses the whole field. 2 things Tyrod cant do. Dont care if u can throw it a mile, if u cant get it in the zipcode it doesnt matter. Tyrod can run, meh. Can count the number of successful running QBs on one hand. Overrated skill.
Tryod starts week 1 though, gotta let him play his way out of the job. If he plays well, great, if not, Peterman gets the work, and we get to see if he can progress during the season. If he cant, then its off to the draft, where hopefully we will be in position to find a QB.
