    Who was that outside backer that Nix signed from New England coming off of a 10 plus sack season. I think he might have played one game for the Bills, got hurt and was never heard from again. 

    Mark Anderson. Great rookie year, then nothing till NE (of course).

    Also, how about Mike Furrey. One good season with Detroit in 2006, ok 2007, and nothing 

     

    Steven Ridley comes to mind as well.

     

    Robert Edwards, although that was injury.

    So, how does a guy like Foster go from 500+ yards his rookie year, then pretty much nothing after that...?

    I suppose it was a combination of Josh and a crap WR group.

    So I can’t speak to what happened to Foster in 2019, but one thing I’ve thought about is isn’t it interesting that everyone Allen has played with has had their best years with him, even going back to his rookie season? Foster, Beasley, Brown (had a similar year with Arizona), Diggs, Zay Jones. Basically, guys like Brady and Rodgers have always made those around them better. I wonder if we are seeing a little of that already with Allen.

    The bolded simply isn't true. Brown easily would've put up over 600 had he not missed 7+ games. Davis had 599 yards this year as a rookie, do you believe his stats won't Increase with additional experience and game time on the field?

    Yeah, I don’t get that argument. If you want to argue that Ertz isn’t good, go for it. But if you think more weapons won’t help, I don’t know what to say. Look at TB. It’s not as if all their receivers had 1000 yards. But the point of all their weapons is you don’t know who to plan against. Double Godwin, Evans has a big day. Double Evans, Godwin goes off. Try to take away both, Miller or Brown step up.

    Here, I’d say we are doing really well as far as weapons go. But we can be better. Maybe it’s a better receiving threat out of the backfield. Maybe it is a TE. Maybe it’s more speed or more speed with size as well.  I don’t have the answers, but adding talent is never a bad thing.

  4. Maybe it’s silly, but for 2 years now, I was eying 2021 as the year to make a big jump and win 12 to 13 games, since we knew 14 of the 16 games. It has seemed like the easiest year in a long time to me. However, what I never expected was for us to win 13 this year, mainly based on the schedule. I thought we could win 9 or 10, and still be much better than 2019 despite the win total. So who knows how we’ll do in 2021 as we are certainly further ahead than I would’ve thought.

     

    But at the same time, we all know that a schedule that looks easy beforehand doesn’t necessarily translate to an easy schedule once it starts playing out. But regardless, even if teams like Jax, Houston, Carolina, Jets, etc all take a step forward, after last year, I don’t really care. We proved we can beat good teams and stay in every game. So once again, I assume we will be playoff bound, barring injury, and get another shot to make a run and see where it goes.

    Sadly I hate the chiefs more than Brady now.  Go bucs.  

    This is where I am. It’s not so much that they beat us as it is the Mahomes is the greatest ever hype. I get it, he’s young and has been amazing. But this is Brady’s 10th SB. Mahomes would need to keep up what he’s done so far for another 12-15 years before he is Brady. While it may seem like that’s what will happen, 12 to 15 years is way too many to project. So I hope Brady destroys them if I were being honest.

    With Metcalf added to our team, we would be a true Super Bowl contender this year. With hindsight, I’d take Metcalf slightly over AJ Brown but either one of those guys would have helped take this offense to another level. Not only passing on them but trading up for Ford, definitely seems like a swing and a miss.  Beane can’t win them all but somewhat troubled that he and the scouting staff seemed so enamored by Ford to trade additional assets for him and pass on wr talent that was desperately needed at the time. 

    While I tend to agree, I would think Metcalf or Brown being in buffalo would mean no Diggs. Brown and Beasley were FA pickups before that draft, so they would be here. Then you draft Brown or Metcalf in April. So when we might think of how nice it would be to have Metcalf, just remember (in my opinion) that the group would be Metcalf, Brown, and Beasley, not Metcalf, Diggs, Brown, and Beasley

  7. After reading other threads, i can just see the season being paused, and in that case, Brown could’ve healed without missing games (other than tomorrow). I could be wrong but a lot of threads (SF not allowed in their stadium and Denver no QB, plus Balt/Pitt mess) seem to paint a picture that it’s inevitable the season will pause. I don’t doubt they will finish it because of the $, but I can see a break.

    I pulled Henry and his replacement gave a decent 15 points. Not Henryesque but has kept me in the game. Need to decide whether to pull Allen for Herbert or not. Need 23 points for a win.

    Here’s my non-expert opinion. Herberts best game is 23 points (twice though), so putting in Herbert probably won’t get you a win anyways. Allen’s worst game is 25, so go with Allen. Sure there’s risk involved, but Herbert is not a lock to get 23 while Allen probably will if we play

    anybody know if this will let me stream it on my TV or only on pc?

    I ask cause nfl gamepass won't let me cast it to my tv... something they use to block it

    I’ve used it for the past 5 years or so while I finished school and now while my brother finishes. You can stream to your tv. I have an appletv and have the Sunday ticket app. Any other device that connects to your tv works as well, but I found that appletv was by far the best and it never buffers. With the same internet connection, chromecast and roku were pretty bad for me. Just my .02.

    Damn this game always stuck with me. Wish I'd caught the replay! I was like 13 and was pumped to see a move for a qb that played on a big stage before. Peerless was my favorite player for a few years and it probably started with this game. Was it his 2nd year? Or rookie?

    I think it was his 4th season. Wasn’t he drafted in 99?
