Jackson and Mayfield both had their 5th year options picked up for the 22-23 season, and could be franchise tagged for 23-24. Neither guy is going anywhere this offseason.
My thoughts on contract extensions....
Mayfield - no chance he's extended before playing out his 5th year option. Through his first 4 seasons the best he's played is at a Ryan Tannehill level - a competent game manager that can succeed on a strong team. His biggest issue is that his 4th year has been his worst season. I can't see how the Browns can extend him when he has a low ceiling and is on a negative trajectory.
Jackson - small chance he's extended before playing out his 5th year option. He is an exceptional athlete and fully deserved his MVP award (the 2021 pro bowl is another story). His biggest issue is, as a pure passing QB, he's pretty bad. Jackson has had almost no success against quality teams (the playoff record and stats speak for themselves). As a Ravens fan I'd be concerned that the team looks pretty much the same with Tyler Huntley (who?) at QB.
Ultimately I think Jackson signs a massive contract in Baltimore.....with very little $$ guaranteed and that gives the team multiple outs.
I think Baker ends up walking away from Cleveland and bouncing around the league as an overpaid average-ish starter.

Google it. Easy enough to find that a younger brother could not pronounce Wilbur Charles Ewbank's first name, and it stuck.
I was making a joke. Not a particularly good one, but the guy does have the goofiest name I've ever seen

No fine for Judson’s tripping of Allen?
Curious what was said in the tauntings to warrant a fine.
Judon's trip was the worst thing from that game. Not sure how 2 other Patriots gets fined and he skates by.
Also surprised that Diggs didn't get a fine for his...banter... with the fans.

Semantics. Weeb Ewbank won with John Unitas in Baltimore just before the AFL began play, then won SBIII with the Jets.
That is the most made-up name I've ever seen. No way can that be a real person!

Great insight and what they wrote is confirmed by the eye test.
Yes Kemerow really blew his opportunity and he isnt getting and younger. The Rousseau grade is not a shock but a disappointment, maybe he is in a rookie tired phase. Butler no shock, Was hoping to see how Effee Obada scored.
To date the departure of Tre White hasn't cost us a game, dont think we can be as lucky going forward in the playoffs if the weather is nice.
I'd put Sanders in the bottom 5 just for dropping the TD. Was it this game he ran into Knox and wiped both players out ?
Pretty bad game from Kumerow as well

We traded a 1st+ for Diggs. I think it's fair to count him as a 1st round pick on offense

I thought Dawkins let his guy go to the outside because he wanted to avoid a holding penalty that he was already very close to committing

I'm going for a B-
Pats went 3/3 in the Red Zone and started 5/5 on 4th downs (our only stop coming on 4th and long hail mary at the end of the game). If even a few of those had gone our way this would've been an A+ performance

He deserves a fine for that. Might've been subtle enough that the NFL will let it go, but that was 100% intentional.
Apparently Judon had a nut shot on Wentz last week ?

I haven't been able to make up my mind on which decision is worse. Josh Allen not making the Pro Bowl or Dawkins making it.
Personally, I think Allen is having the best season of any AFC QB. The top 3 are clearly Allen, Mahomes, and Herbert - however you want to rank them I don't think anyone would argue too much. Jackson is a great player, but having a bad year. He might not even be the best QB on the Ravens.

Godwin's contract is up at the end of this year. I'm guessing the injury complicates things for him in terms of finding someone to pay big bucks in the free agency market, and he winds up signing a 1 year deal with the Buccaneers.
If NOT, I'd sure love to see him sign in Buffalo. He's a top three slot receiver in the NFL and is still only 25 years old. Give me Diggs, Davis, and Godwin next year.Getting Godwin at a bit of a discount due to the injury? I'm salivating just thinking about a WR corps of Diggs, Godwin, Davis.
I was thinking the Bucs would franchise tag him after the injury, but he was already tagged for 2021. Tagging him again in 2022 escalates the contract even more, and the Bucs have a lot of money already tied up in existing obligations. I think there's a good chance Godwin makes it to the open market.

He had a right to play the ball. He didn't have a right to make contact with the receiver prior to the ball getting there. People need to understand the rules better..."playing the ball" or "looking for the ball" doesn't give you free reign to just do whatever you want.
"playing the ball" is an important part of the rule. You are correct that it doesn't give the defender carte blanche to do whatever they want, but there are only a few specific things that would still be considered to be interference if the defender is playing the ball. The Colts defender was playing the ball, did not grab arms, did not extend arm across the body of opponent, did not play through his back, no push off, and no hooking.
ARTICLE 2. PROHIBITED ACTS BY BOTH TEAMS WHILE THE BALL IS IN THE AIR. Acts that are pass interference include, but are not limited to: (a) Contact by a player who is not playing the ball that restricts the opponent’s opportunity to make the catch; (b) Playing through the back of an opponent in an attempt to make a play on the ball; (c) Grabbing an opponent’s arm(s) in such a manner that restricts his opportunity to catch a pass; (d) Extending an arm across the body of an opponent, thus restricting his ability to catch a pass, and regardless of whether the player committing such act is playing the ball; (e) Cutting off the path of an opponent by making contact with him, without playing the ball; (f) Hooking an opponent in an attempt to get to the ball in such a manner that it causes the opponent’s body to turn prior to the ball arriving; or (g) Initiating contact with an opponent by shoving or pushing off, thus creating separation. Note: If there is any question whether player contact is incidental, the ruling should be no interference
ARTICLE 3. PERMISSIBLE ACTS BY BOTH TEAMS WHILE THE BALL IS IN THE AIR. Acts that are permissible by a player include, but are not limited to: (a) Incidental contact by an opponent’s hands, arms, or body when both players are competing for the ball, or neither player is looking for the ball. If there is any question whether contact is incidental, the ruling shall be no interference. (b) Inadvertent tangling of feet when both players are playing the ball or neither player is playing the ball. (c) Contact that would normally be considered pass interference, but the pass is clearly uncatchable by the involved players, except as specified in 8-3-2 and 8-5-4 pertaining to blocking downfield by the offense. (d) Laying a hand on an opponent that does not restrict him in an attempt to make a play on the ball. (e) Contact by a player who has gained position on an opponent in an attempt to catch the ball.
I'd say the no-call last night was proper enforcement of the rules.

14th (as rated by EDJ Sports) in 4th down decisions isn't all that impressive.
Here's a list of their top 5 worst coaching decisions from last week:
https://edjsports.com/posts/91e0c61c-f62e-445e-a4fa-7eacf49772bc
I think decisions 2-5 are no brainers and that the coaches made the correct decision in being conservative. #1 is more of a toss up.
EDJ sports says that the 49ers punting with 2:47 left in the 4th, while leading 20-13, and facing a 4th and 2 from their own 37 was the 2nd worst coaching decision of the week.
There's about a 100% chance McDermott would punt in that scenario, and I would be on his side. Going for it is a huge risk with that little time left when you're up by 7.
I'm extremely skeptical of the system this site is using if they think that punting there is an egregiously bad move.

Would this be McDermott or Special teams coordinator play design? Does McDermott call the play or does he just say let's fake the punt and they have a play they call?🤔
I don't hate the play design. I hate the decision to go for a fake punt on a 4th and 2 from the 45 down 24-3 in the 2nd half. Why go for a fake when the opponent is going to be on high alert watching for a fake? Just run a play with the offense and leave it up to your $250 million QB (who is worth every penny)

What was worse.....
Eddie R's miss on Chad? or Henry's stiff arm on Norman?
In the context of the game the Henry stiff arm didn't even happen. There were offsetting penalties. Not to mention it would've only been a 4 yard gain anyway
2nd & 4 at BUF 44
(6:03 - 2nd) D.Henry left end ran ob at BUF 40 for 4 yards (M.Hyde).Penalty on BUF-Q.Jefferson, Defensive Offside, offsetting, enforced at BUF 44 - No Play.Penalty on TEN-B.Jones, Offensive Holding, offsetting.
In terms of raw embarrassment I'd say the Norman stiff arm is worse. In terms of impact to the game it's Eddie R no question. Jets were up 24-13 with 10 minutes left and that play was 4th and goal. Stop it and the Bills have a (small) chance to win. The TD ended the game.

Bills are one of only 3 teams (Cle, NE) without a single offensive pass interference penalty this year.
Not sure what that means, but interesting.
FWIW we were flagged for OPI in the Chiefs game. The penalty was declined though
3rd & 10 at KC 40
(8:41 - 3rd) (Shotgun) J.Allen pass incomplete short left to C.Beasley. Penalty on BUF-E.Sanders, Offensive Pass Interference, declined.

Assuming this is a private conversation that I was getting honest answers I would ask
1) What are your thoughts on unvaccinated players? Specifically Lotulelei and Beasley
2) If you were the GM for a different team, would you rather hire Daboll or Frazier as your Head Coach (or neither)?
3) Do the Bills have a process to involve stat guys with in game decisions such as coach challenges, 4th downs, and 2 pt conversions? What is that process and how much input do these guys have?

Well, not going for it at the end of the 3rd proved to be the right call. I thought it was game over when we punted down 14, but the offense had 2 chances to win the game. Same story against New England. Offense has come up small in the big moments. That’s why we’re 0-5 in close games.
Not sure how it turned out to be the right call when we gave up an 11 play 6 minute drive and allowed a FG to turn it into a 3 score game. We ultimately lost the game, in no small part due to that terrible decision

NY Times says they have a 100% chance to make playoffs even with a LOSS to TAMPA, but then 4 wins thereafter.
4-1 with the loss to TB probably gets us in 99%+ of the time, but I don't think it's a mathematical guarantee. If Ravens, Titans, Chiefs, Patriots win their divisions and Bengals, Chargers, Colts win out then we'd be eliminated. I'm sure there's more fringe scenarios that would leave us eliminated given how many teams are 6-6 or better along with the Bills mediocre conference record.

For what? There’s no harm in cutting him right now.
Due to his contract restructuring there actually is harm to cut him right now.
This season his active cap hit is 7.6mm and his dead cap would be 9.5mm. We'd be....shooting ourselves in the foot... if we released him right now.
In 2022 his active cap hit is 9.4mm and if he's released we take on 5.1mm dead cap. 4.3mm in cap savings if we release him then.
If we wait one more year until 2023 Star has an active cap of 9mm and no dead cap at all. 9mm in cap savings for that year.
I'm guessing we'll release him in 2022 for the 4+mm savings.

I don’t think the Texans are trying to win the Super Bowl this year buddy
Fair enough. Just rustles my jimmies a little bit when we get coach speak about "Mills gives us the best chance to win" when he, objectively, does not.
There's reasons to start Mills over TT. He's not a proven quantity yet and does have a higher ceiling. The Texans should want to evaluate him over the rest of the season to see if he's the QB of the future. If he continues to go winless the Texans improve their draft standing and can draft a new QB if they want.
I'm interested to see how loyal Culley will be to Mills. If he goes out there and Nathan Peterman's it up, will he pull him and go back to Tyrod?
-
Not really sure how 0-6 Davis Mills gives the Texans a better chance to win than the 2-4 Tyrod Taylor. I know W/L is a team stat, but TT has better QB stats too.
Mills is a 3rd round pick with 1 quality start under his belt (vs Patriots - although they still lost the game). His other 5 starts are varying degrees of awful (Houston was down 38-0 vs Rams before he racked up some garbage time stats).
I doubt even TT could complain about getting benched for Herbert. Getting benched for Mills though? Yikes
Rashaad Penny would fit nicely with the Bills’ offense.

0% interest from me.
Singletary is fine as our RB1. Obviously we are a pass first team but he can produce when given the ball. Still 1 more year left on his rookie contract.
Moss has struggled this year but does have 2 years left on his rookie contract.
If we're ready to give up on Moss as RB2 we should just spend another mid round pick on a new RB. There's no point in going after a guy like Penny unless he's willing to sign for league minimum.
