    The guy "can" be a number 2 or he could be much better next year and become a starting caliber tight end.  They will bring in more competition I'm sure but when you see a player continue to develop in the time they are here, you have to give them the chance to compete for the job.  Certainly worth seeing what he can do next year.  

    Worth seeing? Of course. Counting on it and not doing something to upgrade the position? Absolutely not. No, you don't "have" to give anoyone a chance to compete. You "have" to upgrade and if Croom can step up his game, great. If not the cupboard isn't bare.

    A friend and I had this conversation to which we really didn’t come to a conclusion.  So I decided to post a thread here.  

     

    Jimbo obviously was a more solid player year in and year out.  Mark was more of a one year wonder HOWEVER he did get that Super Bowl ring and MVP.  

     

    Interestingly enough both these guys had some equal bad luck after retirement.  They both lost sons way too early.  Jim battled cancer but Mark dealt with depression to the point he wanted to commit suicide.  

     

    Anyway what do you think?  

    Dilfer>Marino

     

    Foles>Rivers

     

    If those don't sit well with you, the answer is Kelly...and you aren't a nincompoop.

    Yes, it is a fluff feature of the official Bills website, but there is one serious question that needs to be addressed.  Will Tim Hortons withdraw their sponsorship of this segment because of the refusal of both Chris Brown and Sean McDermott to drink any coffee?  I think in one segment, Chris Brown actually held the cup of coffee, but neither of them ever took a sip the entire season.  Sean McDermott left his sitting on the table in front of him and wouldn't even look at it.  From the view of the Tim Hortons chain, that can't be a very good promotion of their product.

    Maybe the should make drinkable coffee.

  4. I think he gets at least 1 interview this off season.

     

    Teams are so desperate to find the "next offensive wiz kid" that I think OCs start getting attention earlier than he should. I'm betting someone sees Allens progress, sees he has both NE and Alabama ties and it looks on paper way better then it should.

     

    It only takes 1 team, like the Browns with Petitne. My bet is he will be on a short list of candidates somewhere like Jacksonville.

    I believe this is a nice start to our receiving Corp.  We have Foster as the deep threat to take the top of the defense, McKenzie is out slot guy and gadget guy, Jones needs to improve to make an impact on the 2019 roster.  To me, I would add a large catch radius guy like Tyrell Williams to make it a solid group.  In this way we could use our 1st round pick at an area of greater need.

     

    Looking for your feedback.

    It is a nice start. In my mind next year, Foster is the speed, maybe a 2/3 type splitting with a high draft pick. McKenzie to me is more a "weapon" then WR. Kind of like a Tarik Cohen role. Bit of everything. Jones, unless he steps the receiving part of his game up is fighting for a roster spot as he doesn't currently add to special teams. Need to find that #1 target type guy.

    You can't see it from that clip, but on that play Robinson was behind Brooks and had his facemask and was yanking him off the ground with his neck twisted to the side - literally trying to break his neck. I have no qualms with what Turley did and I can just about guarantee that Robinson did not pull a stunt like that again... 

     

    Not looking for cheap, but if the refs are not going to defend Allen during a game, I want to see our players step up. Rather see that, than Allen in traction waiting for the NFL to levy a fine later that week that amount to peanuts that more than a few dirty players are willing to pay.

    While I agree what Turley initially did was fine, he took it wayyyy over the line. Step in, defend your guy. Of course. But wait to do the hitting when the ball is snapped. Beat em down between whistles and they don't have energy for that stuff.

    I was happy to see the Steelers beat the Patriots yesterday.  I was also happy to see Brady have to get up off the ground almost every time he threw the ball.

     

    But as I reflect on the past nearly two decades, I can't help but think that Tom Brady and Bill Belichick have earned the right to leave the game as champs.

     

    There's never been any off-field drama or issues.  No broken laws.  They've been, arguably, the most professional organization in the NFL for the past 20 years.  Sure, Belichick's pressers are boring and don't give any information, but I think that's an art and I love to see it.

     

    Brady has been putting on clinics, week after week, for all football fans to enjoy.  We can root for them to lose, but we can also appreciate stellar football, which is what he/team have been putting on display on a very consistent basis.

     

    With the Bills out of it and the Patriots' run clearly coming to an end, I'd like to see them hoist the Lombardi Trophy one last time.  It nets them the last pick in the first round (good for Buffalo) and will likely secure the retirements of Brady, Gronk and Belichick (also good for Bills).

     

    And, frankly .... they deserve it.

    Bless your heart.

    Last week's tilt against the Jets and all the cheap shots they took on Allen got me thinking about the kind of offensive line players I want the Bills to target. I don't care if it is through FA or the draft or both, but obviously we want the blocking skills, but I also want some nasty sprinkled along that line willing to defend their QB.

     

    Maybe it was because it was the Jets, but it had me remembering Kyle Turley's helmet throw incident when the Jets safety was trying to rip Turley's QB's head off his shoulders after they stopped him on a keeper (Aaron Brooks was the Saints QB).

     

    Loved how Turley dove on the Jets player and would not be denied till he ripped his helmet off and chucked it. I know it was penalties galore, I know it was not the smart or sane thing to do, but it was also a glorious moment of defending your QB from a dangerous and cheap stunt by the Jets .

     

    For the youngsters on the Wall this was probably before your time (Protecting your QB 101):

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I want guys that can play well, play hard, and beat their opponents whistle to whistle. The extra stuff, while fantastic for the fans to see, sometimes has a way of hurting the team.

    I always thought there should be a head referee in the booth that can review flags in real time. Quicker than the refs huddling up. He could also call a penalty if the refs missed something. I actually think that would speed up game play. 

     

    Why do they have to be on the field? With today’s technology one off the field with a radio could be more effective. It so much easier to see the game from the broadcast than on the field.

     

    Completely agree, the need to use technology to help out the officials. 

    Because off the field refs would be subject to only seeing what broadcasts choose to show. And having an official with the ability to review differnt camera angles would open the door to severly slow the game down with extremely late flags. 

  10. I think they still go Chubb. Kid has been spectacular. Allen, while he looks like he's going to progress and become good is still a bit off. 

     

    Keenum hasn't been terrible. Coaching not playing the offense to his and Lindsay's strength has been an issue there.

     

    I'm wondering if the Cards or Dolphins arent kicking themselves more that they didnt give up a bit more to get Allen. Or if the Phins regret not taking Lamar. Tbose should be good topics to bring up as well!

  11. They are trying to officiate the game the same way they always have. Issue is, players these days are bigger, faster and more action happens in a split second. 

     

    First off, they should have better rules. Rules that don't rely on "judgement calls".  Stop changing rules every off season and then pushing the new ones as "most important" and often least understood.

     

    There should be at MINIMUM 3 more zebras on the field. Reassign responsibilities of each guy on the field. This would help make up for the added speed of the game as opposed to how it was 30 years ago.
