Gotta say Russ is giving me big time Patrick Bateman American Pyscho vibes lately.

I gotta tell ya, not a fan of Sammy's football playing but really wish he'd share the secret of making 67 million dollars to do Jack crap. My little job pays me way less to do much more.

Personally think its a good pick up. You get a very talented 1st round pick from a year ago, for at least 2 1/2 more years on a rookie deal. The guy may be mindless, but he can play football. Its a low risk high reward trade for them.

If you can get Jeudy for a 2nd and a day 2 pick you should 100% do it. Automatically an upgrade over McKenzie, and you get two very cheap years out of him instead of a rental player.

Was on a major Game of Thrones binging when the Bills message board went under and I ended up here.

Correct, but all you have to base that on is your interview with the coach and what people he has worked with are saying about him. With how bad the Broncos have been at making that decision its not surprising they chose wrong again. My point is, Hackett isn't purely a product of nepotism. It has helped, but overall I wouldnt say the guy has failed at the opportunities he has been given.

LaFleur was McVay's offensive coordinator, did McVay get him the job in GB? If it was only Rodgers and LaFleur why do they suck this year? Frank Reich was Doug Pederson's OC. John Harbaugh was a special teams coordinator and defensive backs coach, did his last name get him his job? Mike Tomlin was a coach under Tony Dungy and was only a 1 year defensive coordinator when he was hired, was it all Dungy? Take a look back at the history of NFL coaching, there are a lot more "incompetent people" in those jobs than competent ones. Point being, last names help, every head coach was at one point in time an assistant coach. Saying anyone of these guys is only a head coach because of their last name, or the coach they coached under is so trite. Nathaniel Hackett may be terrible as a head coach, but I promise you the guy knows more about football than most normal people have forgotten. Funny how the same people on this board who think Nate Hackett is terrible at his job, will tell you how Belichick is the greatest coach of all time, and fail to make the connection as to why Belichick sucks at his job now too.

Not a fan of his hiring at all, but to fully ignore the fact that he had a top ten offense two years in a row, including the #1 overall offense in the league two years ago, to instead focus on his race is obtuse. Also had a top ten offense in 2017 with Blake Bortles as his QB. The guy has been a coach in college and the NFL for twenty years, and has been to the playoff multiple times. Is he a good head coach, no, but neither is/was Todd Bowles who is on his second stint. Flores, who you mention, despite the massive amount of hyperbolic media surrounding his tenure in Miami, was also not a good head coach. A lot of NFL coaches get into the league based on contacts they made through family, or college. To act like its not a "who you know" business is insane.

I have the exact jersey you are thinking of ordering, bought it for the same reason you are looking to buy it. Wanted something that wouldnt age, also didnt want to wear the jersey of someone younger than me, always found that odd. Anyways, if you end up getting it make sure to wash it sparingly and hang dry it. The red around the numbers faded on mine and is pink now. On the plus side its a pretty thick material, more like a Hockey Sweater.

Gregory Alan Isakov January 30th at Asbury Hall.

Pretty sure Ole 12 Gauge is finding out why he needed those classes now.

He is the offense version of Rex Ryan.

You are vastly overestimating the level of qb play in the NFL right now. Murray isn't great but I am not sure there are 15 guys I'd take over him right now. Its pretty much Josh and Pat and everyone else right now.

Its the like the other guys say, divorce. I lost 100 pounds after mine.

I was blown away the Browns didnt take Allen. He fit the mold of all the Quarterbacks Dorsey had drafted in the past. Mayfield was the only other guy I liked in the class so I was happy they took Allen instead of Rosen. In contrast, my buddy literally got up and left our draft party without saying a word. He even text me at times during the 2020 season unsure Josh was the guy. For what its worth he also hates Jordan Poyer.

It was my first thought watching it.

Success in football at all levels depends on the Offensive and Defensive Lines. If your offensive line sucks, your QB is going to have a hard time. No matter how good a player is football is the ultimate team game. On top of that completion percentage has a lot to do with wideouts as well. If your wideouts have a hard time catching the ball your completion percentage is going to dip. Go back and look at the NFL level talent Josh played with at Wyoming, Chase Roullier was a 6th round pick of the Commanders, he played 2 games with Josh in 2015. Tanner Gentry and Jacob Hollister are the only NFL talents that played with Josh on offense while he was a starter at Wyoming, and they were both UDFA's currently on practice squads. In comparison, the teams they lost to in his time as a starter at Wyoming had an average of 5 NFL players on their roster. Teams like Iowa, Nebraska, Oregon and BYU were stocked at that time. If Allen had played at a Power 5 school his stats would have looked like a world beater. Lucky for us that he didnt.

Not sure why everyone is throwing up such a fuss over his back locking up.

I honestly think people in WNY would be more endeared by this than anything else.

Gabe is a better route running thats for sure. I think thats where the game speed probably comes in, but Claypool is a better athlete in my opinion. What I really meant is that I think the role Claypool would play in this offense is boundary wide receiver, and we already have a larger boundary player in Gabe Davis. If we are looking to trade or sign a wideout, I'd think we'd like someone who can play the slot for the majority of the time they spend on the field.

Good Jump Boiiii

The Bills are the only team out of SF, LAR, and Buffalo that has a first round pick in 2023. SF traded theirs to Miami to move up for Trey Lance, and the Rams traded theirs to Detroit for Stafford. Miami had two, until they messed around with Marcia and lost one.

Regardless of the size of your quarterback if your lineman don't play with good leverage it allows the defensive line to play high and tip passes. Haven't seen it in the past because you had different O-Line coaches teaching different techniques.

I think he is a lot like Gabe Davis. Don't think he fills a need at the moment.

I'd buy a large vault, turn all that cash into coin money and swim in it like Scrooge McDuck. Or I'd pay off my wife's student loans so I could live like a normal 40 year old male.
