Bills win it 20-17
-
If we're evaluating Bojorquez from the "kicking" aspect only, I'd say he's probably around ~20th best punter in the league. Yardage isn't great, but placement inside the 20 is pretty good (I will note that a punt from midfield that goes out at the 19 technically counts as a punt inside the 20, but it's still a poor punt).
Overall evaluation we need to consider the blocked punts, fumbles, or how about that time he was the holder on a FG attempt, and he was the only player on the field that thought the play was a fake? One of the stupidest plays I've ever seen in the NFL.
All told he's definitely a bottom tier punter, and it's pretty disappointing we couldn't find anyone better.

Look at the stats.
Both EJ and TT had scored over 20 ppg on average for the season.
Bortles got the Win.
It was a contest to
Make him a QB for both sides.
Bortles came out on top.
Correct
The End of TT's career in Buffalo.
So the only thing that matters is that Bortles won?
Does that mean Bortles outplayed Roethlisberger in the playoffs that year?
Bortles was 14/26 for 214 yards 1 TD 0 INT
Big Ben was 37/58 for 468 yards 5 TD 1 INT
Jaguars won the game 45-42

You think that's bad?
For the low cost of 1st, 4th, 5th & 6th round pick, $46 million contract & $14.8 million cap hit in 2020, the Bills got this stat line:
0 catches for 0 yards and 0 TD's in 0 games.
WHAT A JOKE! F'n slacker WR's these days...I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here.
I was referencing Kelvin Benjamin. That trade was an unmitigated disaster. We can say that Beane is doing a good job overall, but that individual trade was one of the worst in Bills history.

Imagine if Beane did this. There would be a half dozen poster on this board talking about that 5 years from now!
What do you mean "if" ?
For the low cost of a 3rd+7th and 8.4mm deadcap Beane managed to get a player that posted this stat line:
39 catches for 571 yards and 2 TD in 18 games

no comment on EJ scoring 21 ppg?
3 points to 10 points against the JaguarsBortles out played Tyrod
If Bortles outplayed Tyrod it was by a pretty slim margin
17/37 for 134 yards 0 TD 1 INT
7 rushes 27 yards
vs
12/23 for 87 yards 1 TD 0 INT
10 rushes 88 yards
I vividly recall Bortles throwing into the dirt multiple times when he was not pressured and had a wide open dump off (just flat out missed Fournette)

15/40 for 197 1 TD 1 INT is not fine in today’s NFL. That’s BAD.
Alex Smith is a winner. Tyrod is a back up.
Stop besmirching this man who basically came back from the dead to go 10-6 with the Washington Football Team.
Good job ignoring the 8 rushes for 77 yards and a rushing TD. That definitely brings that game up to "fine".

Because Tyrod is a one dimensional player who is relatively easy for competent defensive coordinators to stop.
Baker kinda sucked last year and he was still better than Tyrod in Cleveland. Tyrod was borderline unplayable by the end of his tenure there. Got worse every year. Was bad in Buffalo near the end.
He’s toast.
Tyrod's tenure in Cleveland was 2.5 games.
Week 1 vs Steelers
15/40 for 197 yards 1 TD 1 INT
8 rushes for 77 yards 1 TD
21-21 Tie
Week 2 vs Saints
22/30 for 246 yards 1 TD 1 INT
4 rushes for 26 yards
21-18 Loss (Interestingly enough, TT actually lead Cleveland to what should have been the game winning TD with 1 minute left in the game, but they missed the PAT, then the Saints kicked a FG as time expired)
Week 3 vs Jets
4/14 for 19 yards
4 rushes for 22 yards
Injured by halftime and Baker took over. Baker played pretty well and TT never left the bench after that.
Pretty ugly game against the Jets, but Tyrod played fine in the first 2 weeks. Seems like a lot of fans on here forget all of Tyrod's average games and only remember the duds (he has significantly more average games than bad games).
He's not the long term answer at QB, but he's really not as bad as many posters on here make him out to be.

You're going to get a faux fan experience at home watching on TV too.
Have you watched a baseball game, soccer game, or NHL playoff game lately?
Team sports with no crowd just doesn't work, at least for me.
They pipe in fake cheering when a team scores, etc., but it's really weird.
The NFL is going to be "off" and "wrong" IMO until the virus is gone, fans are packed in stadiums again, and cheering like crazy for the home team.
It's going to take time.
I've watched a lot of NHL playoffs games and am really enjoying it. It would be better with real fans of course, but as that's not an option I'm ok with fake fan noise.
I would prefer no fans at all and fake fan noise over a stadium at 15% capacity with no fake fan noise. Just my 2c

Question for people that want to attend games in person:
Would you enjoy going to a game with 10,000 people and strict mask/social distancing enforcement?
Even if you're not concerned about catching or spreading this virus, does that sound like a fun time?
I'd rather stay at home and watch on TV than get some faux fan experience in person

I am not that familiar with the details of the case--is that true, is there evidence of that? That these woman were sex slaves forced to work there? If so, please provide a link with these details. If that is the case, then that does definitely change my position on this.
Pretty in depth article
https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2019/10/the-disturbing-saga-of-robert-kraft
II. THE SEX RINGOn February 19, after staging dramatic raids on nearly a dozen massage parlors in South Florida, Sheriff William Snyder held a press conference. Local officers, he announced, working alongside Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Department of Homeland Security, had busted a $20 million sex trafficking ring with tentacular reach to New York and China. Many of the women, he said, had been tricked into coming to the United States and had been working to pay off debts to traffickers before being rescued. “I don’t believe they were told they were going to work in massage parlors seven days a week, having unprotected sex with up to 1,000 men a year,” Snyder said.

What a waste of taxpayers' money and of law enforcement resources for them to have done this sting operation in the first place--cameras set up in these massage parlors to catch these transactions!
Can you imagine how much time and money was spent on this nonsense? Detectives, cops, prosecutors...all wasting their time and our money while real crimes are happening.
No one cares.
Kraft is a 79 year old widower. Who gives a flying shi* if he pays a few bucks for some sex acts? Anyone? He is 79; good to see he is still in the game. (Should he go to the local bar and try to pick up women there?)
Even if you hate Kraft and his team, this news is good news, as maybe now they will end this nonsense and focus on real crimes that actually undermine society. And maybe they won't wast our money and resources on such BS again.
I doubt the sex slaves that were being forced to work there against their will view it as a waste of taxpayer dollars.

I am not seeing where this is unreasonable search- it is a public business and there is no assumptions to privacy when out at a private business. This line of thought would state that someone stealing a car from a dealership has a right to privacy
The article was a bit light on details, but I don't see how this video was tossed out.
Maybe it's a procedural thing. Did the police mess up the paperwork for the warrant to setup video surveillance?

Why is this a make or break year for Allen?
Simply put, because of the salary cap and rookie QB contracts. If a QB can't play at an elite level by years 3 or 4 of a rookie contract, when their team has ~25m+ to spend on the rest of the roster, they will never be able to play at an elite level.
It's irrelevant if QBs 20+ years ago took longer to develop (I've seen a few people mention Brees, the Mannings, or Kelly). The game has evolved dramatically since then.
The NFL changed rookie contracts in 2011 and there hasn't been a single QB drafted in the 1st round after that point that took more than a few years to develop. The only possible name is Ryan Tannehill, and I think his 2019 season was more a result of being in the perfect team situation combined with a small sample size.

Buffalo fans ran a guy out of town that got dragged down by a team being ok with losing.
"“We’re stuck in this mindset of just, you know, being OK with losing,” he said. “It’s really crept into myself… I feel throughout the year I’ve lost, lost the love of the game multiple times.”
To think they they wouldn't burn a guy at the stake who quit the team during the playoffs is preposterous.Just look at the Tre White thread. And he was only considering opting out prior to the season starting, not in the middle of a playoff series.

It's a mixed bag so I agree he's average and hopefully will get better. He's decent at making defensive adjustments as there were a few games last year (Giants and Cowboys come to mind) where they marched down the field the first drive and didn't do much more the rest of the game. He allows teams to linger rather than go for the jugular and it comes back to bite him like the Texans game. Some of his decisions have baffled me and he just got lucky that the other team bailed him out. The punt in overtime against the Colts. Going for it on 4th and 27 at the end of the Texans game down three instead of either punting it or attempting a 60 yard field goal. He's only 3 of 15 on challenges in his career. He's made a lot of good in game decisions as well but the bad one's will always be magnified. Hopefully the hiring of a game manager will help.
Easily the worst in game decision I've ever seen a Bills coach make. You have a 4th and 1 on the opponents 41 yard line, with 4 minutes left in OT, in a game with extreme weather conditions, and a tie severely reduces your playoff chances. Punting there was unbelievably dumb, but a lot of people forget/forgive it because we ended up winning.
This is also the guy that decided to start Nathan Peterman when we were in the midst of the playoff race (week 11 vs Chargers), and went into the next season with Peterman as his #1 QB.

Totally fair. But what is the downside? What is the negative consequence of extending him?
There's not much of a downside.
There's the "what if" scenarios. What if the team doesn't meet expectations this year? What if our suddenly cost conscious owners won't fire him and eat that cost? What if we could've been better with a different coach?
I don't see much of an upside to extending him with 2 years left either. I suppose if we win the SB maybe we locked him in at a lower price and saved $$

Regret it how? The team is stable. He's a lot like Ron Rivera IMO. There will be ups and downs but he's a quality coach. If he can get the offense going he'll win a lot more than he loses. I'm confident he'll put a competitive defense on the field every season.
I was going to go with Marv Lewis. Good defensive coach, but question marks on offense. Good enough to make the playoffs, but not good enough to win in the playoffs.
Lewis also brought a once joke of a franchise to respectability.

Well it took 4 pages but there it is......So playoffs 2/3 years is not sufficient. He is a good coach and you will have a hard time finding better. He is well respected in the league. The Bills are off the coach roulette wheel and that is great.
Who do you suggest is better for the Bills?
Sean Mcdermott with the remaining 2 years left on his original contract.
If we're SB contenders this season you can give him the mega extension after the season is over

Compared to the Sabres, the Bills need all the stability they can get from ownership.......
Why are we rushing into an extension when he still had 2 years left on his first contract?
His the best coach we've had since at least Wade, but all he's shown so far is that he can take average teams to a first round playoff exit.
I would've waited at least 1 more year before extending.
-
I guess I'm a pessimist, but I'm not happy with this decision.
I think he's a fairly average coach. The 2017 Bills were a very mediocre team that finished 9-7 and made the playoffs only through the grace of god. The 2019 Bills were a bit better, but finished 10-6 with an insanely easy schedule.
The team is trending in the right direction, but if we don't take that next step I think we'll regret this decision.

I don’t buy this as a general rule Any more.
People who want to work hard contribute and advance will do so.
People who want to hide will always find a way.
With the quality of tools available for virtual work, there is no obstruction to those who wish to be productive. (Provided you job can be done virtually)
I’ve actually felt a higher level of productivity personally And among my staff. 1) no time spent walking from conference room to another (2) commute is removed as an additional component of work day as well as ‘getting ready for work’. some even split this time with the employer by working extra time normally consumed by commute (3) many people go out of their way to show more production of of fear of not being visible (4) everyone is accessible, there really isn’t a ‘stepped out for lunch’ or the like
I get the mentality of clock punching and watching, but I think managers can see who’s working and who’s not.
some of the least productive people I Know spend 10 hours a day “in the office”
Amen to that.
I think some of the push for people to get back in the office is from managers that don't do very much work. Pre-COVID they would spend most of their days chatting with people about nothing or scheduling hour long meetings that could've been a 30 second email. Now that they are WFH they have about an hour of work per day and assume everyone else is doing as little work as they are. They feel the need to be in the office to be productive because what they were doing in the office wasn't actually "productive".

Can anyone cite an injury to a professional QB from throwing the ball as far as they can?
I can believe average Joe 6 pack throwing out his rotator cuff trying to throw a football. I can't believe an NFL level professional athlete throwing out his rotator cuff by throwing a football.
I think it would be a cool competition to have if they are raising $$ for charity

Star has been a pretty awful contract from day 1. Pushing it out another year is not going to improve matters.
Maybe we can re-structure the already re-structured contract next year ?
