  1. Remember all the experts including many on this board who lost their ***** when Green Bay didn’t draft a WR...
  2. Mahommes throws a more accurate deep ball. Allen is a better runner. Mahommes has 4 fewer interceptions and 4 fewer lost fumbles. They are very close but Mahomes is just a little more careful with the football with a year more experience and a legendary play caller.
  3. Mayock said that three years after he was drafted. Revisionist history and he was not saying that in 2007 right after the draft. I will give you its more of a weighted lottery. The bust rate increases with every round for sure. And the pro bowl and HOF numbers are more frequent in the earlier rounds. But the fact of the matter is these guys have no special talent to predict future performance. They all miss on guys terribly. How many GMs passed on Brady, Wilson, Brees, and Rodgers? You can't write the history of the NFL without those guys and they were passed over by just about every GM and multiple times in many cases.
  4. Murphy hasn’t dressed for a game in a month. The defense is playing better, so I agree don’t mess with it. That said Zimmer and Harrison are just not that good andI could see them trying to make a move to shore up the run D before facing Baltimore,Cleveland, and Tenn in the playoffs.
  5. It's a lottery. The Bills won the lottery. They maneuvered everything to take on those QBs. If the Jets had taken Allen, Beane would have taken Rosen or Darnold and who knows where the Bills would be right now. Mayock loved JaMarcus Russell too. These guys are like seismologists. They are great at analyzing things that have already occurred but are worthless at predicting the future. The only guy I would say that was ever consistently better than the rest was Ozzie Newsome. All the rest either suck or are not better than the average GM.
  6. Not discounting anything you are stating, but pretty sure most people think Aaron Rodgers is an odd guy and off putting to many. A douche? Maybe not that bad. But he has talent so he can act any way he wants. If Rosen can play no one will care if he is a jerk. Most of the bickering Bills thought Kelly was a dick.
  7. The intrigue is whether to sign them to an extension after this season or push it until after the fourth year knowing they still can exercise fifth year option and franchise tags in the future.
  8. He was my #2 after Allen. Tampa didn’t cut him so it’s a bit misleading to say 4 teams in three years. SF signed him away from the Bucs to their active roster. Even now I still think he has a better chance of succeeding than Darnold. In the right QB friendly system maybe he can be a capable starter. Very unlikely at this point but SF is an interesting landing spot.
  9. KC had to come from far behind in the playoffs against the Texans and in the SuperBowl. Don’t underestimate Reid’s ability to choke in the big game. I worry that Kelce could go for 200 yards reviewing against the Bills D, but the Bills can match them score for score.
  10. 1st: Adams and Hopkins 2nd: Diggs and Hill 3rd: Metcalf and Allen? If he has another monster game on MNF against the Pats maybe that will push him into #1 spot
  11. At two there won’t even be many suitors to trade up. They really screwed themselves. They could have kept Darnold and traded the top pick for a truck load of picks and players. That roster even with Lawrence is terrible.
  12. And that trash roster was one Cam Newton fumble away from at least forcing OT if not a loss a month ago. Bills are by far the superior team and they are playing at such a high level now even compared to a month ago. But I would not discount them so easily nor that Dolphins defense that made Cam look so bad.
  13. Without Brady they are just another team. No argument there. But missing 2 of their top 3 players on defense and their best WR has something to do with their current record too.
  14. Hmmm, Tom Brady calling out and disrespecting Buffalo for lack of high end hotels didn’t seem to affect the outcome of the games. Bills have the better team. The only way they could lose is if McD gets out coached or Allen has a three turnover game. Without Gilmore, Allen and the offense should put up 35 by the end of the third quarter.
  15. If White and Edmunds had opted out and Diggs was lost for the season, do you think the Bills would have won the division with two games to play? Belichick’s record is mostly the product of Brady. I’ve posted that many times before. But to be fair, the Patriots were hurt as much as anyone by opt outs and injury.
  16. Yes only they are saying about Tomlinson who has actually won a SuperBowl already
  17. Yes though it seems a bit like a fantasy with Edmunds making th probowl. So I'm worried the rest of it is all a dream like the final episode of St. Elsewhere.
