Is there another way to judge actions? It was a dumb trade at the time and is still dumb today.

Yes. Cam was beaten up in the pocket and on roll outs. I'm sure the hits he took while running didn't help, but I only remember the vicious hits he took as a QB, not as a runner.

Just have to let him play his game. Honestly, the hits in the pocket can be a lot worse because you often are blindsided and can't protect yourself.

I agree. Seems like a big stretch to me. There's no evidence at all that Parcells has anything to do with Beane or the Bills. Just because Beane may have met him once and got his number doesn't mean he is consulting with him regularly about how to build the team, which players to take, etc. I'm sure Parcells isn't out there watching endless film on prospects, so what value outside of general, high level strategy could he provide? Stuff that Beane already knows anyway.

In the TBD survivor pool, only 34 out of 100 are left. Insane after only 1 week.

Whelp, there I go. Broncos screwed me over. So yes, it was a bad week for survivor pools. I should have found a home team to pick. Eliminated because they did not win. He usually can't, but Nate Hackett had other plans.

The third down call was stupid too. Just horrible play calling all night.

Horrible play calling. You have a dynamic QB who has one of the best deep balls in the game and you call dink and dunk pass plays, screens, and runs all night. Especially bad in the red zone. Plays getting in late all game long. Russ is probably overrated a bit, but that game was not called to his strengths and he looked hamstrung by his own offense all night.

Shouldn't have even been in that position. Poor play calls on 2nd and 3rd down all night. Throwing it behind the line of scrimmage and running it when they need chunks of yards. Man am I happy to be a Bills fan. That was painful to watch. Broncos fans must be freaking out.

Hackett is a moron. What was that?

Replay looks like he got the first down. I think the spot was a little short. But interesting they measured it and it seemed like the ball was a bit short and they still have them the first down. That's weird.

I'm just guessing, but I think it's because he is really good. Again, just a guess.

Well, and getting the play call in so late too. They've had multiple delay of game penalties and often have to hurry to snap it to avoid more.

Calling stupid plays. Bad red zone play calling. And how many times has he called a running play on 2nd and long?

It's on the coaches (and the refs a bit). Poorly called game.

Hackett making boneheaded calls on offense.

He will make a few critical mistakes. That's who he is. That's what he does.

Yeah, he's the best QB in their franchise's history. It would be like us booing Jim Kelly.

We're not supposed to trust week 1. Strange things always happen. We need to have a few games before knowing what some of these teams are actually like.

Drew Brees and Phillip Rivers, although Brees was not traded (but neither was Jefferson in the above example). And Jefferson wasn't part of a trade either, so it's even.

We'll, it's apparently against the rules now, so they could have been called on that.

The Vikings beat the Packers last year and the year before too. I don't think they are suddenly a Superbowl contender. This is just who they are. They really get up for the Packers games. The ball gets there very slowly for all these other QB's. We should really appreciate our receivers being able to handle the insane velocity that Allen spins the ball with.

I guess he should have tried harder when he was here so he wouldn't get cut. He looked bad. He might be one of those players that turns it on for the actual games, but that is not going to fly here.

Worried? Sounds like something to celebrate.

I chose Denver because I didn't feel good about those other ones.
