  1. I would love it and it's done all the time in the NFL. Under the right circumstances, like a rebuilt O-line, Shady still has gas in the tank.
  2. This is why the last 3 games are so important. Sure they're meaningless from a playoff standpoint but they represent a chance for Allen & his receivers to get on the same page, make some big plays and ultimately learn to trust each other. For the WR's these next 3 weeks are critical as they have an unprecedented opportunity to show that they belong on the field next year. A good climax to the season would then be followed up by a great off season workout program between Allen and whichever of these WR's wants a long NFL career. As for the TE's, I'm not sure we can salvage any of them. I hope I'm wrong though because the less players on offense we NEED to replace the better for our chances over the next 2 years.
  3. If I was a Jet's fan I would like this outcome. Team almost won but lost and kept their top 10 pick. And all in all, Darnold looked very good.
  4. Damn, so we could have had Mahomes starting and Watson as our back up!
  5. Sorry, but in this game I've seen about 10 catches that Bill's receivers would have dropped. And if they dropped them we would be hearing that the ball was poorly placed by Allen. On the last Texans drive Watson benefited from 3 of those types of catches. I've also seen a couple of catches in which the receiver caught the ball just off the grass. The same play that Clay did not make to win a game. The gap between our TE's/RB/WR/s with respect to the passing game and pretty much everyone else in the NFL is huge. This is a #1 priority in the off season.
  6. I'm still amazed that our defensive game plan against the Jets was to NOT put pressure on their rookie QB. In how many games this year can you honestly say that a QB was not touched through an ENTIRE game? It's one thing for the Texans with Clowney & Watt to depend on their D-line to get pressure it's another one for us. I do think that the break helped both Allen & Darnold process information better.
  7. For what it's worth the Jet's crowd is lame today. I get being able to hear the LB call TO if the game was being played in Houston with their offense on the field but on the road? Pretty pathetic IMO.
  8. We'll never know who the Bills wanted between Allen & Darnold unless someone at one Bills Drive spills the beans. My understanding though, based entirely on rumor, was that the Bills knew the Browns were taking Mayfield and that of the remaining 4 guys they favored Allen. We do know they wanted Allen a lot more then Rosen and aggressively moved up to keep Arizona from taking Allen.
  9. Another NFL national broadcast complete with flags flying everywhere! So far Watson looks sharp and has all day to throw. Darnold helped out by his WR pick time on that 3rd down conversion. Jet's crowd seems subdued and there's a lot of empty seats. Absolutely that's why I made sure to say next year because this year he would get lit up trying to run that play.
  10. I would love to see the Bills employ the read option play next year. Used sparingly, it's a great way to get a running QB going.
  11. I think this list is as good as any with the caveat that I think McCoy will be the starting TB in 2019.
  12. Bingo! The one thing I noticed watching last weeks Jets game is how poorly Ivory & Murphy pass blocked. Shady can read defenses and has a sense for whose coming on the blitz. His ability to pick these defenders up is critical to giving Allen that extra second in the pocket to hit a play downfield. If McCoy can go he should definitely play. He remains by far Buffalo's most dangerous receiver out of the back field and his blitz pickup is heads & tails better then the other RB's.
  13. Wow! Just wow! Now do the Chiefs have a Nashville miracle up their sleeve!
  14. For now but in the long run the game has an officiating and rules problem which will one day kill tha goose that's layign the golden eggs.
  15. Agreed and IMO those are worse then the non-call. It just turns the game into a cluster frack.
  16. Agree but the proof will be next week at Seattle and in the playoffs. It's hard to believe his absence won't hurt the Chiefs.
  17. Nice play by Kelcey. Route running is an under appreciated skill - at least in Buffalo. The difference between the patterns run by the Chiefs receivers and our guys is quite apparent.
  18. The inconsistency of NFL officiating is frustrating. Two refs saw the face mask but neither saw the obvious grounding.
  19. And as a result neither QB is putting up great numbers and Rivers has 2 INT's and should have had a 3rd and Mahomes is lucky he didn't have an INT at the end of the half.
  20. I'll trade our #85 to SD for their #85 and I would really like to trade our #85 to KC for their #87!
  21. Five! I figured my ONE box was a valuable collectors item. Now I'm thinking it's worth about $2.99 as there are probably about 100,000 boxes sitting in food pantry's all across Western NY. Hell if the apocalypse happens civilization will be reborn by those of us eating our Flutie Flakes when the food runs out.
  22. To be fair, on the Chiefs KB is about the 4th player a defense has to worry about. In Buffalo, for all his dogging it, he still was the guy opposing defenses treated as the Bills #1 receiving threat.
  23. That was nice throw and while he's patient he also has time in the pocket. We have a KB sighting! Catch for 17 yards.
