RoyBatty is alive

Makes me glad we traded him. I didn't know Dareus said that, obviously very disappointing. I have some compassion for Dareus as he has had a brutal life and, and honestly isn't too bright. But he brought it all on himself, not like he couldn't see it coming after some of the trades they had already done with Watkins, no player that wasn't on board no matter what the talent wasn't safe. Trust the process.

Thanks for posting, Good read, i am not sure there is anything I learned just a lot of confirmation. Beane knows and enjoys what he is doing, treats people the right way. Speaks appropriate GM speak but does let you know a little inside. I love these lines on Dareus, "“Marcell has talent,” Beane recognized. “We were really trying to get him to do things our way, every day. And I thought he took strides, but I don't know that we were ever going to get him there. So we just said, ‘let's see where it goes.’

Above was my first car, Toyota Corolla Tercel about $5,200 brand new, cheaper car on the planet back then, had plastic on the floor and no radio...never replaced anything but tires, filters, one battery after 120,000 miles i gave it away.

5-11 seems pretty reasonable to me. My only difference is the Titans beat us and we beat the Colts, I think Andrew Luck wont be anything near what he was, they have a terrible roster and a potentially crippled QB. If you make those two changes to your predictions we start 0-8, the pressure to start J Allen if he already inst will be enormous.

If he starts at all (sans injury to ALM) I am going with 6. Start him after the bye week. But I agree with others. hope it is zero.

I was there, one of my first games ever

I wouldn't be shocked if he decides to retire before this season starts. If I were him I sure would, what kind of mental/physical state is Gronk going to be in when he is 50, between his back and concussions, he doesn't have a lot of brain cells to spare. He has two rings, more money that he can spend, i am sure Gronk would rather act like a fool than continue to buckle under Belichek rule.

I LOVED what Tre White did versus Gronk last year BUT, 1) he could have been called with multiple pass interference calls...sometimes when a much smaller DB is doing it to a large receiver they tend to let it go more often and 2) Tre is psychically way over-matched, you just can't teach height. Edmunds is 6' 5 " with 34 1/2" arms, Tre White is 5 11 with 32" arms. Tre White give us 7" and 73 pounds to Gronk, that is a lot to ask.

It could be a brilliant matchup, I am just afraid Gronk doesn't have a lot left in the tank and Edmunds has incredible potential and talent but is very young and green. By the time Edmunds is "ready" Gronk may be on serious decline/gone.

1) You state there is no "evidence" Carr would have been a franchise QB, the you ask for other examples, any example I bring you can state the same thing, there is no "evidence" so what is the point. Asking me to prove a negative. 2) I never stated or even intimated Carr would have been a HOFer but if you want to exaggerate my comments to help "prove" your point, carry on.

Neither do I and I agree with another poster, love their old school logo, timeless classic.

Living in Houston I , unfortunately watched a lot, lot of David Carr. His O Line was a joke and he often had no shot at success at all, The physical and mental toll on the man had to be enormous. Yes I understand the macho he isn't tough enough to play in the NFL crap but there are limits to the amount of punishment a man can take without having an impact. Listen to Aikman's (who you used as an example in your prior post) interviews sometimes about after his disastrous first year, he said he was close to quitting football. Is David Carr an extreme example, probably hwe is just the most painfully obvious, are their other "David Carr's" out these, that never had the chance to succeed, probably we just dont know who could have succeeded and didnt. Forget all the "tough guy non-snese, what about the injury risk, the concussions, those are REAL concerns and I dont care how "tough" you are mentally. You told me to ask Aaron Williams , why dont you ask him why he stopped playing at the age of 26. Ask Brady, yeah great analogy there. David Carr took more hits in his rookie year than Brady has taken in his entire career. Brady, Mr Tough guy in the NFL that often runs ways from players after they intercept his balls.

Good way to sell tickets, feed TO's ego and make a mockery of the team that does it. Maybe Jerry Jones should consider it, he has no dignity anyway.

Ask David Carr.

The website certainly can be improved but i go there for numerous things. The videos, where else are the collected and saved, the press conferences, interviews, game previews and highlights. The depth Chart, the Bills organization chart. OBD would be crazy to shut it down and they wont. Almost half the website is dedicated to merchandise and ticket sales and I certainly don't blame them.

Agree 100%. I would rather sacrifice an entire season than ruin a potential franchise QB. I wasn't on board with going for Allen but now since you made the investment, maximize his potential to succeed. If our O LIne is dreadful that means were are not winning and fans will be screaming for Allen to start if he isnt. See how "tough" McD and Benae are, dont throw Allen out there under that situation.

Oh my God, you are right, i can never look at her again with seeing a man's face. And I agree with your last comment, his very last playi in the last Super Bowl was beautiful..... a hail mary where he could barely heave it with all his might 50 yards.

Without my father i wouldn't be alive to yes, he is certainly responsible.

Mike Tolbert, my god why we even get on the list.

Hope you are right and I am one of the few that still has hope for Peterman, granted not much but hope.

Well Shady's exposure to him has been incredibly limited but nice to hear his comments. I think this one is very telling, "I want to be part of that when he takes over eventually", I bolded that, i am of the belief it is highly unlikely J Allen will be the starter to begin the season, he is going to need a lot of time to overtake AJ.

Who is the San Fran QB, yes he completes a TD (to comically wide open receiver) but that footwork is beyond bad, it looks like a high school QB.

Te White WAS the reason we won the Atlanta game, without him we don't make the playoffs in my opinion. All those veterans standing around and it is the rookie that has the smarts to pick up the ball for an easy TD. Also what also stands out about Tre is I believe he is the first kid in his family to graduate college and he easily could have entered the draft a year earlier and didn't, stayed to earn his degree at LSU. Quality guy.

You are correct, Shreveport is a dump but across the river Bossier City is worse. and most of them are Cowboy fans. I visited a company there once and they brought me to what they said was the best food in the city, the freakin Casino and it was not, repeat not good.

Great read, thanks for posting it.
