Tend to agree with this. Some may come into a more friendly situation like Darnold, Mahomes and to an extent Jimmy G but all have to perform to make the grade regardless of talent around them. Iron sharpens iron! Elway, Kelly, Aikman, Manning all had to tough it out during an era when QBs weren't coddled. Some like Alex Smith and Cousins can take years to develop before they become franchise type material.

That's profiling! Or stereotyping! Or both! Honestly, I'm not sure which.?

Jets game proved teams are built in the trenches Wait?... What!!!! I hope you're not implying that the Jets are the model of how a team should be built and how a franchise should be run! Just joshing! I know what you meant. No one is used to seeing the Jets mentioned as a "how to" example.

47- 21,28,31 ? Doesn't matter as I don't buy into moral victories. A loss is a loss by any margin. I acknowledge that they are in a better situation right now than the Bills but that's not saying much at this point. I agree with you that Darnold looks legit and will come along nicely if the D and O line keep producing. I have no doubt he was the QB we targeted before the Jets leap frogged us in the draft and though I like Allen I'm sure he was their consolation prize.

Jeezus what's with all the Jets love around here? Yes, they played well against a team that is basically on the same level as the Bills. But no, let's give all the credit to how good they looked against Detroit instead of how God awful Stafford looked. Do you really think they would've had the same success against Baltimore in the pouring rain? If you wanna crown they a$$ then crown em! __RIP Dennis Green... Look, I'm not hating, though I do hate the Jets. They've put some pieces in place and are ready to compete moreso than our Bills but you're kidding yourself if you think this team is better than 8 wins. Remember they play a lot of the tough teams we have to play as well and though they may pose more of a threat I still expect them to lose.

Cmon that’s ridiculous.

Yeah, if they play Detroit every week.

Debatable, it's only been one game.

Great pass from Stafford. Too bad receiver can't haul it in.

They were us last year. They got the cap space and the FAs. That will be us next year. Also keep in mind that they're playing Detroit not Baltimore in the pouring rain.

I'd like to see something like that happen to a particular CB in Jacksonville.?

Anybody else offended by that Old Spice commercial with the couple wearing Bills jerseys? Are they trying to say Bills fans have odorous emissions?

Stafford is so scared right now he's throwing 1 yard outs on 3rd and 15. WTF?

Someway somehow Stafford is gonna find a way to lose this game.

Wow! Stupid timeout.

One snatches victories and the other snatches crab legs.

Stafford looks like garbage. Darnolds gonna build a lot of confidence working with these short fields.

How was that a catch?

Rivers is 10X the QB Flacco is. Wasn't his fault they lost. If our offense can put something together I guess anything is possible but after yesterday I don't see it.

Though I agree with you in the fact that NP may never be more than a so-so back up I kinda feel bad for the guy. For your first NFL start you get thrown to the wolves on the road against one of the better defenses while your team is in a playoff race. No pressure. Then on opening day on the road you put him behind a Swiss cheese O line and an offense devoid of any real talent against another talented Defense. Awesome! All the while knowing you are nothing more than a sacrificial place holder keeping a seat warm before being discarded. I don't ever really feel bad for any pro athletes but I gotta admit this is close.

What Mack is doing tonight is making me cry.

But but but, Star was paid 10 mil per to occupy blockers and collapse the pocket so our DEs and LBs can feast. 10 mil per for that guy! Geez..... Maybe weather was a factor but it didn't seem to bother Bal too much.

No CB should have to hold their man that long. Flacco had 10 seconds to throw that.

Totally agree with this assessment. Hopefully Star comes to play and earns that contract. Hopefully Kyle and Trent are healthy enough to contribute. Hopefully Davis can be the player he used to be and hopefully this D knocks Flacco on his arse. Hopefully....

I think what's being lost in this scheme planning is that opposing defenses will also know that the QB will look to hit quick, short throws because of the lack of protection. CBs will be playing man press coverage and jump routes. Safeties won't play too deep as there is no WR on this team to stretch the field. It's going to be tough sledding if this offense can't go deep from time to time and give NP some breathing room.
