Coach Tuesday

Great article on Diggs from Tyler Dunne. How about this gem? Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good: “A blizzard of this magnitude requires juuuustthe right amount of barometric pressure. So in truth, in Buffalo, it’s been three-plus years in the making. The search for a No. 1 wide receiver began almost immediately: Sean McDermott’s first draft in 2017. That night, McDermott was smitten with Zay Jones. The wide receivers coach he had just hired (Phil McGeoghan) coached Jones at East Carolina so the Bills gave serious consideration to drafting Jones at No. 27 overall after, gulp, trading out of the No. 10 pick that landed Patrick Mahomes. They were close — very close — to pulling the trigger. After further discussion, the Bills instead opted to wait and draft the cornerback who was higher on their board: Tre’Davious White. And they got their receiver in the second round.”

Wasn’t crazy about some of his decisions. On a couple of the wasted throws downfield he had guys wide open underneath and there was no need to push it. They could’ve controlled the game more than they did. I suspect that was a big point of emphasis at half time.

We have a new winner! Thought it would take longer.

It is one of the dumbest takes I’ve ever seen and that’s saying something. Almost a brain-dead position.

They’ll get a haul because of the bidding war. But it won’t be equal value. There is none. There are like 5 guys on the planet with his proven ability.

Use yours. Watson signed a big extension last September, long after Bob McNair made his comments.

Receivers get traded. It happens a lot actually. Franchise QBs in their primes do not.

But worse. They will destroy their remaining ability to attract quality free agents and coaches. The locker room will be poisoned. I’m telling you it will lead to McNair having to sell. You simply cannot do it.

If they trade Watson they will not recover for years. Like a decade. You CANNOT do that.

Disagree that TB shouldn’t be on the list. They have what, 1 more year of the TB12 Experience?

As I just said in another thread - it’s too bad you can’t fire owners. Trading Watson within the conference is a fireable offense - especially after the Tunsil, Hopkins and Clowney debacles.

This is becoming closer to happening. Are the Texans gonna screw up the entire league AGAIN by trading a top-5 QB in his prime to another team? To a team in their own conference? If they trade Watson to Miami, Cal McNair should be stripped of his ownership rights. This is insane. McNair’s negligence is causing all kinds of problems.

That play in the first half where the Ravens’ receiver dropped the ball - am I the only one who thinks it was a fumble? He turned upfield with it.

I did want that it turns out. Gots me the chills again.

To win a championship you need to be able to win games in all kinds of ways. The Bills needed their defense to take a turn winning them a game. This was a critical win in a critical way.

Come on dude.

Good stuff. Hughes was the best player on the field last night but he was NOT in on the final Lamar tackle - that was Murphy and Edmunds, FYI.

That was some solid defensive coaching and execution.

Carlton Bailey?

Hughes was the difference. He was unstoppable. Oliver too. And Edmunds after the first drive.

OKKKKKKKKK

If you had “10:00 a.m.” in the “what time did @John from Riverside start drinking?” pool, COME ON DOWN, BIG WINNER!

Weis is the one who brought the E-P system to New England in the first place. He has been SO BAD as a coach everywhere else. But it’s the right idea - there are plenty of coaches out there who came up under that regime.

They might not throw the ball at all.
