The guy was on the streets and got the call to come in, how much more of a wake up call do you need? He had to make it here or there was NO guarantee he was getting back in the league. He better be focused and happy to have a job, most of his QB draft class is already working in another field. Im happy for him, think he's probably a top 5 back up right now, but he's invhes from being out of the league completely, he has to embrace the suck and hope to hang on for 5-10 more years if hes lucky. If he does, great career and living, if not, hes still made a lot of money in real world terms, in a short span.

They can't roll coverage to Beasley without being exposed on the outside, he's going to have room to work all year. Brown and Foster are too much risk to worry about the 6 yard pick ups.

Any given Sunday... buuuut I feel the Jets are in for a miserable season. I could see the entire AFC East combined not winng as many games as the Pats too, so who knows. So many "ifs" this year. Bills and Jets are both kinda wild cards.

With our friends, we just throw a card in and split it, sometimes you pay more, sometimes a little less, but it's not about the food or the money, its the enjoyment and time with people. We are all in it together, don't sweat the small stuff. In my experience, those who want to split to the penny, either don't have the money to be risking it or sometimes are just *****. If you dont have it, I get it, I'd ask the server to put the apps or drinks on me, split the rest, usually handles the issue.

Don't watch.

Hopefully he can stick and develop here, looks like he has the talent to be a big contributor.

I'll buy your beer at the parade if it comes under McD.

I'm sorry, but one seasonal blip where the ball ALWAYS bounced your way somehow, and you won a couple extra games does. It spell progress when the next year you returned right back to mediocre. Blame it on the QB, but HE MADE THE CALL on starting Peterman and not bothering to hold on to McCarron. That forced the rookie who wasnt supposed to play into the spot light and it was his D that got blown out 4 games of the season.. Culture, yes he has something going. Results, no.

Have to be happy for him and Infeel like he gave them a little break for giving him an opportunity. It was a big risk to take him so high, it eventually paid off, good for both of them.

I'm not a believer in McD, not a downer. I'm pumped for the season, hopeful the jump comes and we get to enjoy the post season in a real way this year. My personal opinion is McD has done a hot pile of nothing so far. He has continually struggled with clock management, in game decisions, challenges and in game adjustments ( though in theory we can blame coordinators for that, I still blame their boss for not calling for them). He seems to be great at building a culture and reasonably good at defensive scheming, particularly with the secondary. His incompetence in recognizing offensive talent lead to No Maholmes or Watson, Zay over Juju and leaves us still begging the question, is Allen THE man or are we looking at more mediocrity for the media to beat on?

I think they will, but I also feel the days of "rebuilding" are dead, everyone is expected to perform NOW. That applies to players, coaches, front office. There isn't a 4 year window anymore. Qbs are thrown in the fire, might be given 2 years to be pretty solid with a lot if promise, used to be 3 years was supposed to be the "start" of success. Examples like the Eagles and the Rams have made it appear you csn turn a team from mediocre to Superbowl teams in a year. Obviously, its not that easy, but it doesn't change the perception.

I agree, I have been saying it quite a bit, this team gets destroyed on a pretty regular basis.. That should not happen. New England loses some games, but its very rare they are severly beaten down. The team lost by 2td or more 4 times last year alone and most of the wins were by a score or less. The talent is weak, I get it. BUT, back to a great coach, which should be the goal, NE has had some horrible Defensive teams and a lot of scrap heap offensive players too and they are the undisputed king of football.. I haven't seen any indication McClappy is taking this team anywhere great. If they hit bottom again, he should go. If he fufills every homer's dream and wins the division, then Im happy to be wrong.

If they go 4-12, he should be fired. 19 - 29 for 3 years ain't gonna cut it. Unless Beane has some serious Beans, I think McClappy is here on a Marvin Lewis type term.

Its quite the turn of events. The question really becomes, do any of them have trade value? I think McKenzie, Zay and Foster would have some, doubtful on any others. Zay may make too much for his production though, so that may make him tough to trade.

I think Lee Smith will be dealt for a late round pick. Sweeney is making too much noise to cut him. The other guys arent going anywhere. One of Wrs is in for the same fate.

I somewhat agree to the point of playing your vertern starters very little. I think the Jets are makingna mistake not putting Bell out there, out of the league fir a year and in a whole new scheme and hes just going to turn it on? I don't buy it. For this team, the only guys who have nothing to prove have retired, the last was Kyle Williams. There isn't a single guy on this team thats absolutely set in stone, doesn't need reps. Don't give me any of your ***** about the guys in the secondary, they are good, not great and they have to function as a unit, so no Trey and Hyde aren't getting any pass either. Allen is raw, the antique running backs need to show they still have game speed, the rook and Yeldon have to show they belong, everyone blocking has a job to earn, anyone catching certainly does too. How do you evaluate without seeing them in live action? Coming into camp, this team has zero top 100 players, and only Allen, White, Hyde had a virtual guaranteed starting roll. I'd argue, Hughes is older and not a guarantee, RBs all at risk, WRs had to shake out, and who else is there that could even be seen as a lock or isn't coming in brand new?

You found a place AB can wear his helmet, problem solved!

It will be interesting to see how much abuse Murry is willing to take before he bails for baseball if things arent going well.

Josh Allen must have been spotted wearing a MAGA hat, it's usually the only way to garner so much hate without any facts. I'm a skeptic on Allen, genuinely, it's in my nature to look for the truth, not the fantasy. He played reasonably well in the second half last year and honestly, he should have been treated like Maholmes and we would have never seen him on the field until the last game or two. The Bills were piss poor in managing the QB situation last year. They gave whoever they ran out there virtually zero talent to throw to, evident by the fact Zay Jones was your number one WR and fans are asking if he should be cut/traded befire this season. The entire line MINUS ONE player was replaced. The top 2 WRs replaced, top 3 TEs replaced, and don't forget he didn't have a run game, he lead the team in rushing, come on man, if that isn't evidence the kid was given the bone, you're blind. On to performance, he was pretty mediocre, but he did enough to win some games in the NFL, with garbage talent around him. Did he go into the offseason with a lot to work on? Yep. Realistically, of the other rookies, only Mayfield out played him, and Mayfield had a really great season, good for him. To rank guys who have taken zero NFL snaps ahead of him is to say that every rookie QB is a success. To have Rosen ahead of him is to say, a guy who was so bad, after being taken 10th overall and leading your team to the worst record in the NFL, he was dumped for a low second round pick and we'll find excuses as to why Fitzpatrick won't let him on the field over acknowledging Allen has shown more. To say Jackson is better is basicallt to say you like the story better.. I'm leaving that one right there. To put Murry over him after 2 preseason games, where he was wildly inconsistent is to say you expect more out of Murry, based off his colege film, there's nothing else to go on. End of the day, it's all speculative, subjective, bull####. I'm saying it again, I don't have a lot of faith in taking the backyard mentaility out of Allen and having him become an accurate pocket passer and I hope I'm dead wrong. I do suspect, if he stays healthy, he will be in the Probowl conversation this year, he's going to be exciting and sometimes, down right infuriating, but he'll put this team on his back in enough games to make people pay attention. He's an absolute monster out there. His biggest hurdle is to show he can be consistent enough with ball placement and decision making to not cost you a lot of games, while still being able to sling it enough to win the ones most guys can't . My biggest fear with him is he turns out to be a hybrid of Farve and Fitz, ballsy enough to make any throw and smart enough to know how to shred you when it isn't tight quarters, but not quite good enough with ball placement when they MAKE you beat them. The guy that can wow you for spirts and not be able to throw his way out of a wet paper bag for others.. Thats the roller coaster he has to avoid.

Would you light 4M in cash on fire?

We'll see if the Chargers agree.

It's all about being able to either A) create a window or B) Not needing a window. Thats why the real stars play inside the 20. Anybody with NFL talent can shake loose or find room when theres 80 yards to work with and defenders are spread out, close it down and you either have to have physical size and strength to beat your man or the ability to create space. That's why your best athletes and your biggest athletes matter. Looks at the legends, Moss, Carter, Rice, Gronk etc.. either make space or you flat out can't match their size. Zay only got those targets because he was defacto number 1 last year and everyone else was a complete joke. Duke has size, McKenzie has wiggle, Brown has insane speed, Beasley is Beasley and now you hipe you have 3 different TEs that can force a mismatch. Zay won't be seeing a repeat of thise numbers this year.

I agree, mostly. Where I would not trade Shady because he's a difference maker when he's healthy and right now he is, I would dump Jones because I feel you are cutting somebody else who is just as good to make room for him and getting nothing back. I don't honestly think anybody would trade for him anyway, so its probably a non-issue. I'd take a pick if I could get it. There are guys on this roster right now that could pull 6th and 7th round choices and we are going to cut them, so get them and hope to package a handful of picks to move up for a more significant one. If you could take all your cuts and eventually move up to a 4th or 5th round pick, that's super valuable.

Cardale is NOT pushing Tyrod off the roster, flat out, not happening. Tyrod is probably the BEST backup in the entire league right now, Cardale is hoping to catch on with somebody. Believe it or not, a backup matters and if you are a coach, who are you going to put your faith in "we didn't come here to play school" or an accomplished vertern QB who has proven he can win games and not turn the ball over?

The guy is a MONSTER, I have my doubts how long he can hold up in the NFL for all thebreason stated above, he's super heavy for a guy that runs 4.4 and is expected to stop on a dime. I hope he turns out to be the beast ge could be, but i have my doubts.
