20 of 42 for 239 yards, 2 TDs, 1 Fumble, 2 INT on targets. I liked Davis but this is who he is.

I think 14 wins gets the #1 seed.
ColoradoBills replied to Billyhouseman's topic in The Stadium Wall
Exactly. Every week from now on brings on all kinds of new scenarios. General Comment: Can the NFL please get rid of the "only one team gets a bye" system. Either go back to 6 playoff teams or just make it a tournament and go to 8 teams. It's foolish with the 1 team gets a bye. -

Very good points. It's songs that have been so misinterpreted. Most people don't care at all and use it for opposite reasoning. I don't understand totally what makes Mr. Brightside a stadium song, but it doesn't bother me at all. It seems to me people only see their point of view which many times makes no sense at all. I have friends saying I need go to church more but still sing "Hell's Bells" when it's on the radio, like they did when they were 18. LOL. People are strange.................. as the song goes. Oops, maybe that doesn't fit.

That's my whole point. I also agree about how teams "try" to bring a young QB around. This mostly happens to only a handful of higher drafted college QBs. The success rate for that is very small. There is a limited amount of NFL games and too many QBs to evaluate sufficiently. I'm not criticizing anyone; it's just a fact in today's NFL. Not one team in the NFL was going to give a 6th round pick Tom Brady a year to see "what he can do". I'll go a step further and say if Bledsoe got injured in Brady's rookie season he may not have succeeded. It was all dumb luck. The top 2 QBs in the 2000 draft was Chad Pennington and Giovanni Carmazzi.

Of course, but time is only given to a few QBs every year, typically only the top draft picks. Most do not succeed. The Tannehill's also have varying degrees of skills. Goff was considered the same. Same goes for Tua. It's only by dumb luck that guys like Brady, Warner, Purdy and others are given the chance to show what they can do. At least that's how I see it.

Week 5 - Bills at Texans Game Week Thread
ColoradoBills replied to BillsFan619's topic in The Stadium Wall
I agree with you, but at least I remembered I had Mongolian Beef. -
With all the talent, both physical and mental that a "better than average" QB needs to possess, it's crazy that so much more is needed for them to succeed. Then, on top of that, a QB has to show signs of being able to do it in a "franchise QB" role almost immediately upon entering the league. For the vast majority of young QBs, they need a decent amount of proper training/playing time in the NFL to see if they have "it" or not. The way teams are pushed towards immediate success, these young QBs seldom get the time. It is a classic "Catch 22".

What is even worse IMO is a little understanding. That is most of us. I have to keep reminding myself of that. One thing I have found fascinating is watching the Mannings and Belichick on ESPN2 MNF. Listening to BB DURING a football game is so much more interesting than listening to "pundits" after the game. When BB talks about the defensive schemes it shows how much offensive knowledge he has to have. It makes me chuckle a bit about some saying McDermott doesn't know offenses because he's a defensive coach. The constant cat-and-mouse game that goes on is only surpassed by how fast the adjustments have to continuously be made. Then again, after all this "pre-snap" coaching is done, the players have to execute, adjust and outperform to make a play work on offense or defense. Some hate the phrase, but it's true, "it's hard to win in this league". Football is fun!

Terrel Bernard Defensive Player of the Week!
ColoradoBills replied to bills742's topic in The Stadium Wall
I was just going to bring this up. I had no idea when he was drafted if he was any good (not a big college fan) but DAMN there was a lot of hate from the posters.
