Brady.... Just to trade him to the NFC for a ton of draft picks.

Among national media outlets, ESPN almost always has Buffalo ranked lower than anybody else. Right now, they have Buffalo at #15. This time, they're the same as Bleacher Report. Among regional media outlets, the Mile High Report has Buffalo at #24 - two spots higher than the 0 - 2 Denver Broncos. Surprise, surprise.
Are they actually hating.... or did they just eat the wrong gummy bears?

For my part, I started this thread primarily from being shocked as to how bad Mayfield looked having never seen him play. I don't watch much college football, so I get most of my draft opinions from articles, video clips, mocks and this forum leading up the draft. I had never seen him play before and am not planning to do extensive study on Mayfield. I don't dislike him and want to see the Browns do well against anyone other than the Bills.
However, when I see all the articles on Mayfield (and Allen), I was expecting far more from him. I recognize this is a single point-in-time reaction to what I saw and that the verdict on 2018 QBs will play out over the next several seasons. However, as they're not rookies anymore, the contrast between the two THIS SEASON is stark.
A few others commented on this... but... Gregg Williams. His defenses generally do well against young QBs. Plus, he had a full year to learn Mayfield’s limitations and all of Kitchens tendencies. We can say what we want about Greggo, but he’s likely had this game circled on the calendar since the schedule was released.
As for who the best QBs from the class are. I’m waiting till after year three to make a judgement. I love Allen. We’ll see if the Jackson/Roman offense gets figured out. Darnold is cuckolded by Gase. I can’t foresee Mayfield being a full bust. Rosen though.... I think Rosen will be the big bust unless something changes dramatically.

Booger - Baker Mayfield is the closest I’ve seen to Brett Favre in a long time... after Mayfield makes a 7 yard pass that OBJ turns into 89 yards.
To be fair... Favre got a lot of TDS on slants from YAC. ?♂️?

I'm only being healthy until kickoff.
Sunday is my cheat day, so once 1pm comes, it'll be on like nobody's business.
The big score for today will be Honey Stinging Waffle Fries with Sriracha Bleu Cheese...and of course, a few Paula's donuts during SNF. Maybe I'll wash 'em down with a Sam Adams Oktoberfest.
I eat vegan a few days a week to make room for Sundays... keeps the colon happy. Those fries with siracha bleu cheese sound awesome! I’m going full southern today; white bbq sauce sweetened with mango nectar on the chicken, Tarheel style pork sandwiches, greens, fried mac, slaw, etc.

I use a zester to shave whole cinnamon and nutmeg into the grounds, toss in a few whole cloves, and use powder for the ginger and turmeric. It's a nice spicy blend without being too overwhelming, plus the anti-inflammatory benefits are legit.
Y’all are being healthy... and here I am drinking an Irish coffee at dawn while prepping a pork shoulder and spatchcocking chickens. ?

Two fines in his career and he’s a scumbag? Wow. Maybe it’s because those two fines concern Bills players? I’ll have to research more to see who holds the most fines and is still playing. If any of you know, please advise.

Just look up on field fines to eliminate the drug addicts and domestic violence guys.
Suh should rise to the top along with Sheldon Richardson and a few others. Hines Ward might be up there too for crack back blocks.

You are shifting my post from what I was saying. I wasn't claiming you don't need an offense. Just that if you have a good D, your good offense doesn't have to light things up. Of course if your defense is getting gashed the offense has to keep pace.
People say McDermott is conservative. I don't think he is necessarily. But I do think if he's got a 2 or 3 score lead and the defense is bottling things up, he's not going to air it out.
It’s going to depend on how effective a teams running game is. IMO 260 is a better yardmarker than 300. I picked 260 because Brady, Big Ben, and Rodgers all have a career average of 260-262 yards per game. Brees is above 280 and Manning is above 270. That’s 5 Super Bowl winning HOF quarterbacks that averaged less that 300 yards/game. Rodgers is interesting here because although GB didn’t always have reliably good D, they had a penchant for turnovers and splash plays. That lead to MCarthy pulling Rodgers in the third quarter in blowout games.... which is the type of conservative route I can see McD going.
We have to remember that a good defense also leads to more possessions and shorter drives. An efficient offense will capitalize on those opportunities, especially in the first half. Every position group is going to have a bad Sunday or two during a season as well. This is why you need a passing attack capable of putting up 300, but the average can be lower. Particularly if a team has a good-great RB and line. Now, if a defense is historically good (86 Bears, 2000-1 Ravens, legion of boom, etc) an offense has a lot more leeway. Just ask Trent Dilfer. At this point the Bills defense isn’t on that level.

That guard play by Feliciano is just a thing of beauty. That is high level recognition. One can hope we have him and Morse healthy for the next few years. Morse is so sound in pass blocking. This is refreshing.
Spain moves really well in pass sets as well for an absolute mammoth. One thing I noticed in watching the Jets game is that there weren't many miscommunications. Missed blocks? Sure, it's the NFL and the defensive players get paid too. It just seems like this o-line understands their assignments very well on a play to play basis.
I wonder if this also means that JA is taking more command and setting blocking schemes more so at the line based on what he sees from the defense.
It’s nice to see Feliciano show his recognition and a mean streak in pass pro. Great signing by Beane. O-line aside, Singletary really popped out to me. His recognized possible pressure from each rusher as the assignments unfolded, and used his agility to back up the linemen instantly.... Impressive for a rookie RB. That awareness is likely what made Shady expendable.

Dropped the same thing while I was typing. ? ?

Not sure about that. The money being paid to the NFL by the TV networks and Direct TV is real and accounted for.
A PPV system would rely on zillions of individuals paying the fee; people would come up with illegal technological work arounds, and the # of legitimately paying customers may not amount to as much money as what the TV networks are paying now.
I.E., the NFL would lose money switching to the PPV system.
Just a theory; I don't really know.
I’m not saying it’s fully viable right now, but with more and more folks cord cutting or using tablets, etc to watch games.... sooner or later. I’m sure amazon and Hulu have sniffed around. Disney wants its own as well. This could get interesting with reduced DTV money supplemented by streaming revenue. The NFL isn’t going to leave money on the table if they can avoid it.
As an example. I stream spectrum. I’m not willing to pay for DTV and deal with the contract. However, I would definitely fork over $10 on at least 8-10 days to watch certain games.
-
I’m waiting for this to turn into a PPV by the game situation. I don’t see a way around that with streaming becoming more dominant.

This is the problem with judging any team's Week 1 performance. There's likely to be at least one team that won -- and looked good doing it --- that's going to crash and burn just as there's likely to be one team that lost big time that turns it around. I'd nominate the Raiders for a team likely to suck most of the rest of the season, and either Atlanta or Pittsburgh for a team that actually turns out to be good.
Yup. To many variables the first week, especially with division rivalry games.
What we can take away is that this Bills team isn’t going to quit and has enough talent to be competitive. I still think they need to find some game breakers on offense before they’ll compete against the best teams. Hopefully that shakes out over the season and a few guys start showing that ability consistently.

^^this
i've held back this statement as i want to be respectful to all but the above is as true as it gets. You don't walk into another teams stadium, spot them 4 TO's (2 within scoring range), 16 points and still beat them unless you are the better team plain and simple. Sure, there's potential 'meltdown' scenarios but the Jets aren't that undisciplined; the Bills woke up, realized what they had to do and executed.
Agree, but because it’s “week 1” there’s still a need to remain a bit skeptical. It’s encouraging though, especially on the defensive side of the ball. The first week is just to fluky with top players getting their first game action, etc.

I don't think I would be praising the Packers D so much for this game, the Bears offence was just bad.
Pettine had a year to review the tape and figure out the tendencies. Plus, da bears O isn’t that good.

If Beasley catches 100 passes we will finally have a pro bowl receiver. With the amount of bias towards Allen’s inaccuracy the press will likely put all the improvement on Beasley and Dabs.

We could use a developmental QB, Sloter looked good against us the other night.
We need a punter, ASAP, apparently Colquitt is the best of that bunch.
As for the other guys on the list, WIlkerson would be a solid DT for the rotation, though I don't know he would be a process guy.
Noah Spence, edge/LB, would be intriguing in McD's system as Lorax's replacement.
Didn’t Wilkerson get a DWI or drug arrest this summer? If so he’d have a suspension looming.

Anyone else think that Gaine failing to trade up for Dillard has set in motion this insane chain of events, including his own firing and this trade?
I’m thinking Gaine is going to crack a bottle of 30 year old scotch and chuckle his ass off at some point this weekend.

The only name that matters is Allen. Let’s hope he progresses.

They're using him as 3 tech penetrator so I'm still trying to figure out how you think he looks more like a NT.
So you're basing it on a guy drafted by the Eagles 13 years ago, when McDermott was the Secondary coach? I don't even know if he was developed into a NT at all but it wasn't with the Eagles because I believe that was Mike Patterson.
I don’t get the comparison either outside of “undersized DT” McD saw early in his career.
If I was forced to make a direct comparison I’d say Mike Daniels with elite burst and quickness.... Daniels measured 6’ and 290 lbs coming out. Both guys have insane motors and are deceptively strong. Thing is, it took Daniels a year to really figure out slipping double teams and improve his pass rush. I expect Oliver to be somewhere between Daniels and Donald after a season or two. Who knows though.... at this point the kid could turn into the next Bunkley or John Randle. ?♂️. It’s too early to speculate.

It really comes down to Flacco. He may well surprise everyone and have a good season. I've always felt he's a pretty good QB (not great; pretty good). He does represent an upgrade for them if nothing else.
Flacco is a considerable upgrade. I think the Broncos still might be screwed because they play the NFC North. We’ll see how it turns out though since the NFCN winner can easily be decided by player availability: Rodgers, Cook & Griffen, etc. Should be fun to watch, and I expect a few shootouts coupled with unexpected defensive battles.
