  1. CJ Spiller was such a dumb pick. Ticked me off at the time inmediately. I thought highly of Marshawn's ability but he did want to go to Cali. Regardless we had 2 great RBs anyway. Fredex didn't need CJ
  2. Yeah no college team gets close to a 30 point spread against a pro team. First it was Alabama is the all-star team of college talent going to pros. Now Clemson and Alabama are the NFL HOF factories together.. sigh. I guess they're the only 2 (I was told it was just Bama!) I wonder how many other college teams have just as good if not better NFL talent at any given position. Oklahoma, Ohio State.. lol. Bet these guys eventually become All-Pros 4 years later (they won't all be great rookies day 1) as they've grown and been weeded out too! Let me know when every All-Pro in a few years is entirely Clemson and Bama alumns.
  3. Yeah it's not a good fit for us one bit. But I'll be very interested in his career going forward. I think he'll be just fine and have playoff success on good teams. He also might always hold a team back from going all the way for many reasons but I think he makes many of the better landing spots for him a contender. Don't know if it's a possibility, but the Rams are the type to take this gamble.. maybe they shed a Suh and Cooks contract or something and got him. They've been more than willing on mortgaging the future in picks and contracts for troubled talent, plus he'd be getting a quarterback getting better in his 4th year and providing his best offense yet. His best landing spot IMO.
  4. At his production, the only other undersized WR in his league is Steve Smith Sr. I think at a certain level of production, your work ethic and whatever drive you've had that's given you success so far has already given you the prerequisite to last as long as you're willing to maintain that intangible. SSS had injuries but rehabbed like he was playing for his first contract trying to break into the league coming from an ACL tear at like 36 with absolutely nothing to prove. Antonio Brown is a lot of things, but maniacally hard worker and competitor is the best thing he has going for him. I absolutely see him having longevity. Side note I love how everybody's writing AB off as untouchable to franchises yet are terrified he finds his way to NE. I shudder at that myself. As much as I hate that organization I think the thing I more respect is they have a culture that supercedes any one players' perceived threat to winning. They've consistently shown the balls be willing to shape up poisonous talent rather than being too scared of the player. Something i'd like to see the culture here become: our team doesn't get ruined by seeking players that fit our mold. Our culture molds competitors for the common goal of winning. At some point players with a certain level of success have a psyochopathic competitive nature. That's a fine culture to put at the foremost to supercede any other issues that come up. I draw the line at dirt bags. Hernandez, Ray Rice.. Kareem Hunt (before he's given a grace period), but outside criminal harm to others.. couldn't care less about having a few nutbags. As long as they know they're on the team to contribute to wins. Primadonna WRs ain't no thang. TO, Randy Moss: they can be motivated to be the biggest factor to carry a team to.. lose SB's ( go Giants!)
  5. I actually agree with Alpha here. But anybody writing an essay ending every point with condescension like "So you are 1 million percent categorically wrong in this statement, its not even defensible." Makes me want to disagree with him, let alone punch him in the face Give em your opinion Alpha (they might disagree and have differing opinions!) Facts don't hold much water in a friggin intrasport betting line.
  6. Another cultureless swine me first non process player that doesn't belong on this team. Trade em away Beane. How are all those Yale/Harvard/BYU high motor lunch pail blue-collar blue Chip draft prospects that never use social media or endeavor in entrepreneurship shaping out for us this draft? Preferably no mom's either. Don't want a Von Miller situation on our hands. Any non millennials entering the draft?
  7. This is a nonstory. On account of it being known by this time last year. If BDN doesn't win the job after a SB run, then there's literally nothing he could have done to take the job from Wentz short of having another.
  8. And the games are chippy in our last 3 meetings in 2 years and I hate them. I don't need much
  9. I can't believe I had to stop watching the Duke game at halftime..
  10. Definitely the jaguars
  11. No kidding. That takes some balls. I wouldn't think less of a player that keeps this to himself with head down knowing he needs to do better without having to go public unsolicited about that. So weird. The cynical part of me sees a PR move so everybody can say "wow, what a mature self aware man" lol Kind of like Rodgers talking about his role in McCarthy's firing haha. So phony. Totally different players/situations/visibility, but that's what it reminds me of is all.
  12. Oh yeah **** these FA's. I'm looking for short contracts, stopgaps, front loaded contracts, or contracts we can release with little penalty. I don't think any guy I'm really into re-signing comes up for like 3 years.. strange contract situation. But I'm all about re-signing our guys for once.. let's try doing what the Packers and other likewise teams and phase to a team we've acquired 80% through draft (plus Hyde and Poyer ) i just want these FA's to make us fun to watch now haha. And give JA some lessons on winning in his 2nd and 3rd year
  13. Yeah ya gotta be good at both it's a 2 way sport. I don't know what we're getting at here as it relates to our building as we clearly got to get better at both ourselves (and just so happen to be much further away from offense) We were horrible this year. We're talking like we had some juggernaut defense and went 6-10 because we philosophically built our team backwards. If we have a season like the Jags did last year we can opine on the merits of this defense only philosophy we're so worried about lol. Until then we're 6-10 because we're so far behind on talent both sides of the ball. Just happens to be offense moreso than defense.
  14. Yeah I have a hard time guaging exactly how much FA dough we really have. I kind of see it at this point.. given the money everybody else has in the market as well, and relative lack of bank breaking FAs, that we'll really be in a position to throw money pretty indiscriminately at every position for any player willing to play in Buffalo. Can't imagine how much a dent even like 5 OL signings would do to our cap. Maybe I'm wrong there. Anyways I can't imagine Eifert would command a ton either ($8M per max?? One good year of production with a TE happy QB and injury prone, just not seeing an expensive player really) so I'm lumping him in that.. another pass catcher to throw money at indiscriminately group. I think we can pretty much throw as much as we want towards all OL and pass catchers
  15. We got to get good at both obviously. And yes we need a killer offense if we want to win a SB. But where we are now.. having ostensibly a solid defense, is just as good a starting point as any (well not so much given our offense is godawful and has so much work to do.) But defense is important. Obviously haha. Criticism that McDermott is a defensive coach and our defense is... Too good or something?? (I don't really get it) is so silly. Our defense isn't elite by any means. It's pretty good, as are all the playoff defenses as well. What we have at defense required is pretty much the bare minimum to be really good in this league. But ignoring the offense that lead to the dog**** offense we saw to this point this season is scary. We're so far behind the prerequisite offense. But we're not so great at defense either as we think we are.. just good enough. So however we want our team to look, the defense is fine, not some stupid way to build. We just have to not be some ugly lopsided freak of a no offense / passable defense team lol
  16. Yeah Eifert's a top 10 TE talent but as injury prone as they get. Again we have all this money to spend on FA though getting depth on these types of players doesn't hurt on short term flyer contracts. Mind you I don't want a ton of these types, but I'd do it. Eifert and a drafted TE, or another younger healthy FA type for more reliability next to a clear talent is fine by me. I just want to see depth. Get these guys wherever, whenever. There's really no position on this roster outside QB I wouldn't fill up with best FA value possible. Just load up the roster with good vet depth. Everywhere. Would be a very good compliment to the younguns. We're sorely lacking in veteran depth, which is why I don't mind keeping these guys if money is not an issue. I'd prefer quantity over a handful of marquee FAs (although I'd love some at certain positions). Their deals will keep us flexible come time to re-sign our guys. And really I just see a need for vets to add depth, a healthy mix of experience for the youth movement, and getting us back to an NFL quality roster that has no reason not going 8-8. We severely lack in depth and this money should be a quick fix to go into next year without just some horrible positional talent on paper next year. Easy fix to end the blowouts and get the younguns to see themselves competing in every game. Totally fine with say 8 games of Eifert. I just don't want a ton of Eiferts
  17. I don't see why not if we don't have money to spend elsewhere. I don't think Clay is so bad he shouldn't be on the roster. I mean damn. Some of y'all have way overreacted about the dude since the Miami game. But he's not bad as a backup TE for us one bit. He's way overpaid, but if we're simply ending up with too much money for anyone else why not keep him. He's slow. He can still block. Really solid route runner (that's way too often overlooked in receivers. Yes. He can catch. Probably still has better hands than some of our lower depth receivers. He's had decent to good hands since he's been here. Apparently blowing a potential miracle play for Josh Allen is punishable by death. He looked terrible that play I get it. But our players' value to the team is their competence within the role they are reasonably expected contribute to the team. That doesn't always involve being part of a meaningless game completely unexpected miracle throw from your rookie Quarterback to your backup TE so you can puff your chest up about how great JA is. JA made a fantastic play. Clay dropping it and it not buffing his stats doesn't mean JA didn't do something truly amazing that play. He's absolutely better than nothing and better than many backup TEs in this league, let alone 3rd stringers. And Shady is as good as an RB2 you can ask for. Would be great to see him in a change of pace role with a young talented RB and beefed up roster. 3rd down back. Again these guys are no doubt better than nothing. If money isn't the issue. I don't get why we don't keep em. Not married to Clay or would be sad to see him go. But our evaluation of players solely to how they affect JA's box score and league perception is aggravating lol. We know what JA has shown he can do. Let's just evaluate players with JA blinders on pleeaaaase. Evaluate them for how good they are! We're talking about depth. Which is the worst part of our roster. If we can't spend all this money than for the love of God just maintain depth going forward.
  18. You've upped your game DCT. Keep it up. Various levels of idiot.
  19. There's no infrastructure in the South to properly maintain the roads since it happens like.. twice a year at best, and it's super dangerous to drive that way if nobody is prepared for icy roads. Shut it down! 1 inch snow day for kids that have seen snow 3 times in their lives! Scumbag truants trying to enjoy snow...
  20. The current refs are infinitely better than the scabs. 5 horrible weeks expedited getting the pro refs everything they wanted. It can always be worse. It was worse.
  21. I don't know what y'all want out of Nick Foles. He's already been a superb NFL story at worst going down with the likes of Doug Williams and Hostetler. He's Frank Reich with more success, Bizarre Fitzpatrick (clutch) on better teams. He'll go somewhere and be a middling starter or be the league's most coveted backup. He's always been inconsistent but seems to come up large when he's in a knockout game more often than not. Pretty cool story. Pretty good QB if his career were to end now. And he's got magic baby! Big **** Nick. That's where the magic lies.
  22. Yeah not to mention the Cheifs defense played out of their minds v the colts. Their great OL got shredded, Andrew Luck shut down. Chiefs defense really turned on the jets in their on playoff game so far. Also statwise. I'd hazard an offense that good led to meaningless garbagetime points given up, and the sorta extended drives they allow another team to waste time as they're down by 14+ points all game.
  23. I'll wait until defenses have more than an off-season to adjust. The top 4 offenses this year have been especially great. But I'm sure it will regress to teams that just have a better competitive advantage on either side.. which is always the case in a two sides sport. This year these offenses were better than the best defenses. And these 4 complimentary defenses were better relatively than the Ravens or Cowboys offenses.. they were just better teams. Good defenses. Top 4 offenses.
  24. Hey man no need to explain your hate for an NFL team. We all have irrational hatred for.. bad jersies in football sometimes is all it takes
  25. Amen. Neutral fans no less. STFU about the refs! Eagles get stuck in the mud. Solution: pull the Saints down with you before the game ends.
