    a friend of mine said he saw Gronk a month or so ago & commented on how skinny & scrawny he looked. From the impression I got from him i'd be highly surprised if he returned. Especially in light of the Pats cap situation after signing AB & the money it'd take to convince Gronk to put his body thru further wear & tear. Do they even have the cap space to make that happen?

    If there is truth to Gronk wanting to come back, recent retirees often want to come back, but after a week or 2 their body says something else.

    I suppose anythings possible but i dont see it happening

     

    I've heard that as well but I think it's overblown a bit. He's still only 30 and has tons of money and immediate access to world class professionals and training. He could come back if he wanted to.

  2. Bet he does. I can feel it in my tired Bills bones after the AB news today. Folks are dismissing it but he definitely seems to be warming up to the idea lately. Bet he's back by mid-season to help the Pats on another historic push. Hell he won't even have to work as hard with that supporting cast  - Josh Gordon, AB, Edelman, James White, Demaryius Thomas, and Gronk? Jesus.

    I've watched this 10 times and it looks like Bledsoe has a ponytail. Am I seeing things?

     

    Oh man definitely. I even slowed it down and it looks like he's got like a one inch manknot thing happening. Wtf Drew.

  3. I took Williams in my draft. And I wanted the Bills to keep Shady. What a ***** Saturday.

     

    Ah well, got one more draft left and will be targeting Singletary for sure.

    My thoughts exactly. My league always drafts the Sunday after cutdown day. I don't understand the rush of these other foolish leagues.

     

    Because ten years pass and then there are kids, work, etc. Sometimes just finding a time that the entire league can all be available for a live draft is the best you can do. I'd rather have a live draft in late August than a late draft after cut-day with three fools auto-drafting.

    Foster bas done it in the regular season.  This is preseason.  Some of us seem to forget this is preseason and what Peterman did last preseason and this preseason.

     

    You'd think Foster was a perennial pro bowler with how some tout his experience around here.

     

    My argument is simply that Foster shouldn't be a lock right now with how everybody else is playing. I'm shocked that the board consensus seems to be that he's completely safe with all of this WR competition.

  5. This receiver competition is awesome and such a great problem to have. Who is making this team?

     

    Robert Foster has got to be on the fringe at this point, I don't care, I'll be a broken record and say it again. I know he's hurt, but how does that automatically make him safe? Are they just going to keep the injured guy that flashed late last season with this much competition at WR? I don't know. McKenzie just keeps making plays, and how can you not love Duke? Everybody hates Zay now but at least he was out there making plays tonight. I loved Foster last year, but come on, WR is so competitive and murky right now, I don't see how he's just guaranteed a spot. 

     

    Ray-Ray's gone with McKenzie's play. Sills is gone, he's done nothing.

     If Zay makes it it won't be for these reasons.  It's all about competition and the future.  Where he was drafted or what Kim Pegula may have thought about him won't matter.  No one "gets" anything.  They have to earn it.  

     

    I think it's fair to assume that a 2nd round pick that this regime made may have a slightly longer leash than an UDFA, but whatever, I agree, and the exact same goes for Foster. My response was to somebody who said Foster was a "lock", so we may be going in circles a bit. Doesn't an UDFA that played himself out of the league early last season have to earn his role as well? Seems most are giving him a free pass now

    This is probably accurate.  We need a WR to fill in for Beasley if/when necessary.

     

    Totally. It's got to be McKenzie.

     

    The sad reality for seemingly everyone is that Duke is probably getting cut. Most realistic scenario seems to be Zay, Foster, and McKenzie stay, while Duke and Ray Ray get cut. Here's hoping Duke uses these next two games to make it impossible. Preseason whatever, his TD was beautiful and nobody else on the roster is making that catch.

    I wasn't referring to you, actually.  I'm a big fan of your posts.  I should have quoted others.  My bad.  That being said, I think Foster is an absolute lock.  For an UDFA to have contributed as much as he did last year, and then to all of a sudden just throw him to the curb... doesn't make sense to me.

     

    I think it makes far more sense than throwing a 2nd round pick to the curb, especially one that that this entire regime from Pegula on down has backed numerous times. Zay is going to get three years to prove himself. 

     

    I like Robert Foster a lot, but to assume that he's safe and Zay Jones isn't, especially when Zay was still our leading wide receiver last year despite all of the late season Foster hype, it just doesn't make sense to me. I'd love to keep them all, plus McKenzie. Good problem to have, I guess, but I think people are overrating Foster if they think he's a lock. A UDFA with under 600 career yards that can't shine in preseason isn't a lock now that there's depth.

    Am I crazy for wanting Duke on the team over Zay? Duke looks like he has way better hands for contested catches over the middle. 

     

     

    How about Duke over Foster? I don't get the blind Foster love on here, especially when coupled with blind Zay Jones hate. Why is Foster so safe if Zay is presumably on the bubble?

    I hate to be a naysayer (not really) but Barkely is an average backup at best. He has played great since coming to the Bills but he would likely get murdered if he had to play a few games. Yes, he played great against the Jets, but he still has a rag arm that cannot consistently beat NFL defenses in the regular season. He's smart, and accurate, and a great teammate, and will help Josh, but 90% of Bills fans IMO are way, way, way wrong about him I fear.

     

    I don't think it's fair to completely overlook the Jets game considering he was out of the league for awhile before that. Granted we only have one game and training camp/pre-season, but he's been pretty damn good every time he's been on the field, and we all know he gets a back-up QB A+ for every single thing that he's done off it. Dude is still only 28 so it's not absurd to think that he may have progressed a bit since his early career. If his attitude is legit which it seems to be then I think there's a decent chance that he might be a very serviceable back-up for a very long time, but regardless yeah, let's all hope that we don't see him or anybody else but Josh Allen start multiple games any time soon.

    He only played a few snaps more because he is safe than he is in trouble. They still like him.

     

    Ah ok thanks. I'm sure they love him, he's just starting to look expendable to me. I wouldn't think he's a natural lock to make it with all of this talent behind him but maybe he is that safe.

  12. So what's up with Foster? Honest question I seriously don't know, was he hurt or just invisible? There's a lot of talk about Zay right now but I thought Foster was potentially the one on the outside looking in after last week, which definitely doesn't change now. McKenzie is a keeper, and I'd love to see Duke make this team.

  13. Outside of Allen's passing yards I think that's pretty pessimistic all around. Beasley and/or Brown should definitely end up with more receiving yards. I mean who else is catching Allen's yards ESPN? The math doesn't check out, apparently there's another 1300 receiving yards or so somewhere on the roster that isn't worth mentioning. And I really think McCoy will do better than that this year. Wouldn't be surprised if Allen rushes for more as well.
