The one player who continually makes me feel like I have no idea about football is Tremaine Edmunds. I know he is young, but I just dont feel like he is a difference maker, yet I am constantly told how good he is and what a freak he is. I actually thought he was better the second half of his rookie season than he was this year. He reminds me a lot of the Sammy Watkins stuff. Everyone keeps telling you he is on the cusp of being an all-pro and they remind you every season, and then its season seven and it never happened.

I aint doing that.

He's missed games in 5 out of 6 seasons. Averages 6 sacks a year and is going on 27 years old. Again, I think he is an exceptional edge setter. But no way in hell am I paying anywhere near 20 million dollars a season for a guy who isn't in the top five in the league is sacks. He is a good player. But he isn't the type of game changer that guys like Khalil Mack, Von Miller, and Chandler Jones are. He isnt even the best pass rusher in his own free agency class.

He is a good edge setter, just dont think he is an elite pass rusher. He had three sacks this year, three! He isnt a game wrecker by any means.

I'll tell you what I aint doing. I aint paying no sorry defensive end 7 million dollars a sack. I aint paying him that, not to sit there and watch him collect his check and not play a full season, I'd hate that.

He had 88 yards passing yesterday and I believe one of them was for 40 yards. The Titans are winning because they are manhadling people in the trenches.

Dont try and tell anyone here that Quinton Spain wasnt incedible this year. I suggested no resigning him and got torched

The similarities between Trubisky and Allen start and end with being white and having spotty beards.

This is the first thing I thought of too. Very thin skinned.

I dont know. Averaging 3500 yards, 24 touchdowns to only 8 ints a year just isnt enough.... Wait, yes it is. You're right. There is this weird way of thinking amongst NFL fans that if your QB isn't Drew Brees, Patrick Mahomes, or Aaron Rodgers they automatically suck. Wentz is an above average QB who really could use some wideouts. Not for nothing, I wouldnt say the Eagles really "have a problem" they have a winning record over the last four years including a super bowl win. I'd like to have that "problem".

Seriously, the guy does all the work for you and your mad at him. So glad I dont live in Cleveland.

Agreed, I think Jeudy, Lamb, Ruggs and Higgins will all be gone. As such, Matos should be the pick. From what I've seen I think Thomas is a bad comparison for Shenault. Thomas is long and lean and plays with a great catch radius, where as Shenault is built more like a big runningback. Shenault is somewhere around twenty pounds heavier than Thomas. When I watch Laviska I think his ceiling is more like Dez Bryant.

A. He is looking at closer to 20. B. The Jaguars have said he is their 1st priority. Its a great thought and you did good work here but much more likely someone like Bud Dupree is available.

I think things like the Rooney rule are the very thing that promote color barriers. Mike Tomlin didnt get the Steelers job because he was the best Rooney Rule coach he got it and kept it because he was the best coach for the job, period. The analyst want to be up in arms about the lack of minority coaches but have no issue with the lack of asian, latino and white players in the league, its backwards.

He went from somewhere near the bottom of the league to a top 15 player at his position.

I am not surprised he isnt getting interviews, only because he is a DC on a team where the Head Coach is a defensive guy. If it was 100% him, it may be different. However, to your point about the years of experience, he lost exactly two more games than Belichick did in his 1st three years in Cleveland. A quarterback makes a hell of a difference.

Not entirely true, he gave up a game breaking sack in the playoff game. Additionally his run blocking is inconsistent to say the least. I just dont see them giving a 29 year old guy who is an inconsistent blocker a contract extension. The O-Line was better this year, but they still weren't good enough. I see not signing him as a chance to upgrade the line, and it does need upgrading. I very well could be wrong. Remember this, if they resign him, Cody Ford is your Right Tackle next year. Its a PFF stat.

I am of the mind they let Spain walk. He and Ford were the worst players on the line this year, and Ford was a 2nd round pick so he gets time. I imagine they move Ford to one of the guard spots and let Spain walk.

They all hurt. Thats the way games go. I will never understand the Milano hate here. Should probably get ready for the extension he is about to get this offseason.

Why dont you take it. I imagine you keep it next to your crybaby of the year trophy.

They arent starting 2-6. Your high if you think McDermott is going to be on any sort of hot seat after going to the playoffs 2 out of three years. Time to sleep it off man.

They came back and had a chance to kick a field goal to win the game when a ref called a penalty on perfectly legal block. The game was won. It wasnt Billsy. It was a great season, that showed a ton of growth. The season was incredibly different than almost anyone the Bills have had in 20 years.

He is only turning 30 and has only has one "injury prone" season in the last five years. He also just had a much better season than your young right tackle, who should be playing guard. I'd give Bulaga a two to three year contract in a heartbeat.

Great. Maybe McDermott can talk about his performance tonight. Going to prevent defense with 30 minutes left in a game was disastrous.

100% this. The wideouts made no game changing plays tonight.
