  1. This is such an overblown narrative from fans. Explain to me why it's such a distraction. How long did he prepare? What did he have to prepare? Did he do his prep during his typical work hours? Did he fly all the way to Chicago or spend an hour of his day on a FaceTime interview? Please fill us in with a detailed analysis. You do realize these guys have lives outside the building? Should they be sequestered and kept in a broom closet during the season? Force fed no doz and kept working 24/7? Pee in a bottle at their desks. This is the NFL...not Amazon. I'm sure Brady has done his job. If he wasn't good at balancing work and outside commitments he would be in the position to interview for a HC job.
  2. That's called the Najee Harris effect. As a runner Mixon is painfully average between the 20s. As a matter of fact I personally think Dameon Pierce is a better runner. But he has a nose for the end zone, is good out of the backfield and is a decent pass blocker. He also fires the team up and adds playoff/Super Bowl experience...which is all helpful IMO.
  3. I usually get a "big man crush" on some lineman coming out. Last year it was T'Vondre Sweat. O'Cyrus Torrence was the year before. This you Grant looks to be that guy. He would help out run defense next year a ton...and has some pass rush juice. Kills me because he'll probably be long gone before our pick.
  4. Welcome to the Keon Coleman coming out party! On defense, I see them crashing the line a bit with Rapp, especially if Flowers is out. Rapp with a big day as a "speed bump" to slow Henry down and allow the rest of the defense to stop him.
  5. Ravens 33 Bills 27 McDermott punts from his own 30 on a 3rd and long with 5 minutes left in the game and all 3 timeouts. Allen doesn't touch the ball again.
  6. Christine Baranski and I've heard Jennifer Garner has been spotted in Bills attire.
  7. Sounds like Mixon is trending to play. Which would help the chance of an upset by the Texans IMO. Not saying they will buy it helps. My best case scenario: Mixon plays amd leads the Texans to the upset win, but tweaks the ankle and is out vs the Bills (if we beat Baltimore). I wouldn't complain.
  8. I haven't read the thread yet but I will after this. Wanted to cast my vote before being influenced. I'd say it's between 3 OL. McGovern, Edwards or Anderson. McGovern stepped in for Morse and not only didn't the unit miss a beat it got better. Edwards has been solid. And Anderson has been a key to our running game.
  9. I haven't watched much college ball this year, but I do like Kenneth Grant from Michigan. IDL. Good burst.
  10. I'd buy it. Put it right next to the one OJ wrote about the keys to a solid marriage.
  11. I think the age isn't so much a factor. Andy Reid is 66. John Harbaugh is 61. Pete Carroll is in his 70s and getting some interest. Dallas just moved in from McCarthy who is 60 himself as is Todd Bowles, Jim Harbaugh and Sean Payton. Aside from McCarthy and obviously Carroll, every other coach 60 or older got his team to the playoffs this year. There's something to be said for experience. And relating to players, which according to the Bills that played for him, Frazier seems to still do well. I agree, Frazier can be a steady coach for a team that needs stability. The Raiders for instance would make a bit of sense to me. The Jets would make some sense to me.
  12. What's odd is that if it is indeed a Rooney Interview, this year there seems to be multiple very qualified minority candidates out there. Aaron Glenn is one of the hottest names this cycle. Flores and Saleh have each had multiple interviews this cycle as well. You could satisfy the Rooney as well as do due diligence on several current front runners. Bringing in Frazier for one tells me one of a couple things may be in play. Either top minority candidates have turned down Jones 's request, possibly due to knowing Jerry isn't hiring a minority to be the HC or there's already inside information that Dallas already has the HC picked and is rushing to satisfy the Rule. Or maybe he likes Leslie and he's getting a fair shake. Time will tell
  13. Couple other tidbits from the Dallas search. Kellen Moore gives me "Jason Garrett" hiring vibes. But Prime in Dallas would be a 💩 storm. I frankly hope that happens
  14. Leslie Frazier probably has no chance at this job. I think this is to help check boxes. But interesting that Frazier is getting a look here. I don't think he's a good fit in Dallas. But a team that needs a steady handed coach to help set culture like the Jags or Raiders could do worse than a "Bridge HC" like Leslie.
  15. Maybe you're right. Maybe they don't go head to head during the game. But in the "5th quarter" Allen whoops Jackson's arse 10 times outta 10
  16. I just watched the Bills/Ravens game from earlier in the season again last night. A couple things I took away. 1. That first play 87 yard TD run by Henry set the tone. It made Buffalo have to play catch up all day and it really set the crowd to a frenzy. I would hope the same thing doesn't happen this time. If I'm Baltimore, I try and take advantage and my first play is a play action deep bomb on play 1 thinking the Bills will overcommit to the run. 2. After the half Buffalo was moving the Ball. They were driving down the field easily and had all of the momentum. I really think they were about to come back and win that game. And then Joe Brady made, what I believe was, his worst play call of the year with that idiotic trick play. Baltimore stopped it in embarrassing fashion, got the ball and momentum back and ran away with it. 3. Baltimore played good defense and had a nice plan. And their defense has gotten better throughout the season. I believe I saw yesterday that it was the top defense from weeks 11 on in the NFL. Hamilton is a terror back there. 4. Can't start slow this game. Can... NOT
  17. Oh I fully understand he's part of a small group of head coaches that are pretty much permanently safe. The only was I see a new coach in Buffalo in the foreseeable future is if McD steps away on his own for health or family issues. And I wouldn't wish either of those things to happen.
  18. When was the last time a team lost in the playoffs at home 3 straight years? I'm sure it's happened before but don't remember when. If anything it's very rare. I've always been a McDermott supporter. But losing a third straight time in the Divisional round at home...even I would acknowledge it's time for new leadership.
  19. I'm sure he's noted as being good at his job or he wouldn't be up for a promotion. But I'll take the two 3rds and wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
  20. I know there were some other factors in there but basically: Pick 56 For Diggs & the dead cap hit not to have him. I'm satisfied with that at the moment. We will see how it's spent for the final result.
  21. The nerds in the press box Coaches are too busy....coaching. Preparing their team for next week. They don't have time to watch the entire relevant scope of college football on a weekly basis.
