I think he can have a very good career like Daunte Culpepper/Cam Newton. He will be effective so long as he still maintains his athleticism. Comparing him to Elway? Let’s get real. Other than both having strong arms they are nothing alike.

There is just something about her that really rubs me the wrong way. I’m not someone who is ardent Democrat or Republican and I have nothing against women in leadership positions (I actually voted Hillary). I just can’t pinpoint it with her, but every time I hear her talk I get annoyed. Obviously I don’t condone violence, but I can see why she in particular is riling folks up out there. It just seems like more so than other democratic governors she is really using this horrible situation to build up her brand. Am I wrong for thinking this? To be clear I don’t live in Michigan and don’t really have an opinion on what the right course of action is for her particular state.

Was Gettleman driving the getaway car?

I’m not going to get into the semantics. It’s one thing to play losing teams 10/16 times, but I don’t see the Giants, Redskins, 2019 Dolphins, and Bengals on the schedule this year. You have to admit the 2019 Bills also caught some teams at the right time (Brandon Allen and Duck Hodges are not even backup worthy). I could be wrong as some teams could be worse than I expect, but on paper it’s a really tough schedule.

The Bills have been a losing team for a long time. It takes more than clinching 2 wild card spots and subsequently a couple of first round exits before they gain the benefit of the doubt. I understand the optimism, but I’m not sold that the Bills are good enough to just roll through those first four games.

Darnold was literally playing with Mono. I don’t care if it is Aaron Rodgers-if he’s playing with Mono it’s noteworthy. This is the NFL for god sakes! Read the symptoms of Mono and imagine To decipher Sean McDemotts pass rush.

Right now the Bills +5.5/+6 week 1 You start off with (2) division games-never easy You play a very talented Rams team that is one year removed from the super bowl You play the Raiders in their first Sunday home game in Vegas You go on the road to play the Titans who were in AFC Champ Game last year You play the world champs at home on Thursday night You see how it can get fishy? If the Bill start 2-2 (split division games and Rams Raiders) it can very easily turn into 2-4. Then you are pretty much playing for your season the next two weeks @ Jets and vs Pats. The key for all the AFC East teams is to win your division games. I think it’s going to be tough to go over .500 against AFC W and NFC W. The AFC South and AFC North games are going to be no cake walk either.

The Bills certainly are a candidate for regression, but it’s hard not to like the program your GM is building. From an outsiders perspective I think fans on this board are significantly underestimating the AFC East schedule this year. The Bills can easily have a better roster, but finish with a worst record. Breakdown the Bills last year (not including Week 17 vs Jets) Vs Teams 5 wins or under: 5-0 Vs Teams 8 wins and under 4-1 Vs Teams 9 wins and over (including playoffs) 1-5 The only team the Bills beat that finished the year over .500 was the Titans before Tannehill was inserted in the lineup. They also won games vs teams QBd by: Sam Darnold playing with Mono Brandon Allen Duck Hodges Dwayne Haskins The corpse of Eli Manning Marcus Mariota Andy Dalton Ryan Fitzpatrick x2 Credit for winning the games you should win (Jets lost to Jacksonville, Miami, and Cincy), but next year is a different animal.

The reddit streams were great last year, but I get the sense the networks have clamped down on them.

Thanks for the add-I had no idea. Mods-I apologize.

The California state university system will hold all classes online in the fall. From what the NCAA has said to date this means UCLA and Cal wil not be playing football. Back to the Pac-10 I guess!https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/12/...action=click&module=Spotlight&pgtype=Homepage

I think the Bills matchup really well with Baltimore. The adjustment I think teams make against them is playing more of a bend but don’t break. Look at what the Titans did to them. They allowed the Ravens a ton of yardage, but without the quick strike they couldn’t score many points. That’s because their style of play chews up a ton of clock. If you can let them chew up 5-6 minutes a drive and force a FG attempts instead of TDs that’s how you can hang with them.

The NFLs #2 and #3 sponsors PepsiCo and ABI recently announced that they were completely revamping their marketing strategy to reduce sponsorship budgets and focus more on social, digital, and direct to consumer platform. Without venue sales the NFL is going to lose a ton of money.

I agree on Jackson. He’s still going to be very good, but the Ravens completely caught the league off guard with their offense. I’ve never guys fly wide open like that on a consistent basis before. The titans did a great job not allowing the big play.

PFF used to be a great site/resource, but they have really gotten off brand over the years. Its now about hot takes and clickbait to get fan reaction for them. Their rankings are also completely arbitrary in that nobody can actually understand them or how/why they received that grade. Ive said it before and I’ll say it again. Analytics doesn’t work in football. There are way too many variables and a small sample size. It works in a game like baseball which is not as team reliant and has a much larger sample size.

I don’t think most Jets fans are homers. Have you read our beat writers or listened to local media coverage? To be honest small town media (Buffalo, Jacksonville, Oakland) are glorified cheerleaders.

Why do you guys care about what Jets fans are posting on a Jets message board?

There aren’t many instances (if any) of QBs getting Mono and returning in season. If Darnold twisted his ankle he’d still be working out and with the team. Instead he got Mono and was literally shutdown for 4 weeks. It’s also a tricky illness in the sense that it effects everyone differently as far as return to normal/energy levels. Add that to the fact that he’s a 21 year old 2nd year player learning a new offensive system and its certainly less than ideal. We know he played week 1 with Mono and its reasonable to assume that impacted his play to some degree.

I’d take Allen over Darnold Right now and I love Sam. I wanted the Jets to draft Allen back in 2018.

The Bills have the better roster because they have hit on more draft picks. McCagnan and Idzik had about a 10 percent hit rate.

James Lofton and TO? By that logic the Jets could claim Art Monk, Brett Favre, Landanian Tomlinson, Jason Taylor, Ty Law, and Ed Reed.

This particular reporter has been a troll/click bait artist for years. I think he once called the AL East race over after 30 games (Red Sox ended up not winning the division so he was wrong).

The Jets from 1997 (year they hired Parcells) to 2012 made the playoffs 8/15 years won two divisions and appeared in 3 conf championship games. Like most franchises they sent through a couple of really bad seasons (2005 and 2007), but were mostly competitive. It all changed when ownership fired Tannenbaum-who was the last Parcells connection in the building. Ownership compounded the problem by keeping Rex which limited the pool of qualified GM candidates willing to take the job. As a result John Idzik was hired and within two years completely destroyed the roster. After Idzik was let go the Jets were once again searching for a GM and because the roster was in such bad shape they again had to settle for an unqualified candidate in Mike McCagnan who poured gasoline on Idziks fire. My point is that the Jets can absolutely get back to competence if not relevance. Joe Douglas is unproven, but by all accounts he is a qualified GM whom ownership had to write a blank check to in order to get him to take the job.

I think it’s 80-90 percent the 5th year option is picked up on Darnold/Allen. 1) The 5th year option only guarantees $ for injury 2) Its still good value for a starting QB It’s likely they are going to give these guys the full 5 years to show something like Winston and Mariota before pulling the plug. This isn’t a Trubisky situation where they are complete busts holding back a ready-made team. Did you watch the Bears last year? Trubisky was a special kind of terrible.
