So what exactly was TT supposed to have done better? 29 of 40 for 285, 2 TD and 0 int. And he's a big part of us losing. I certainly don't think TT is the second coming of Brady, but we could be much worse too. This hatred of him is really laughable.

That's the problem. Most teams don't have one and never will as there just aren't very many to go around. So swapping out TT will likely just still leave us not having one, and good chance even worse off. 29/40 for 285 doesn't sound like he was the problem here with many passes to WR. Is he great, going to HOF, no but build a team around him.

While it may sound easy to do to fans, maybe these things just can't be done on these short Thursday night games?? The entire game planning is dummied down, etc. Not trying to make excuses, but it is what it is with Thursdays. And it just effects the road team much more.

Jones is like a vacuum cleaner, he just never drops anything!

IMO the 4 you mention are the only ones really completely worth the money they are paid. You mention the rest are streaky, I question if it's more a factor of many of these guys are being paid like top elite franchise QB's but can't carry a team on their own. With the big $$ they are getting not enough money left over to pay enough others to keep the team really great. Russell Wilson won on his rookie contracts, Cam just resigned the year they went to the SB. Even Rodgers only SB win was at the beginning of contract #2. Since he's made the really big $$, the Packers have more losses than wins in playoffs. The only guy to defy these rules is Brady who has taken less money than he could command. Helps when your wife makes more than you do. He's just playing for gas money!

Very difficult to do both in todays NFL with extremely limited practice time. I read the backup QB #2 guy typically get about 1/2 dozen snaps each week with the 1st stringers. #3 QB likely none. So how do you develop 2, pretty much impossible to ever figure out if they actually can play. IMO better off developing one and have a more experienced vet as the #3 like they do today with Webb

I think you're still giving the OP way to much credit. This is all about the OP needing to look smart and right. And once you come out strong about something negative that doesn't exactly pan out, the only thing you can do is keep doubling down on it as odds say at some point you'll hit on it. Couple that with other doing the same, so they can then all feed each others posts and convincing themselves they are all the smart ones. Or they are just complete trolls

You don't name names, but "reading between the lines" it appears in #2 the QB you refer to is TT. I don't hate TT, realize he has limitations, but your comment about being maligned by the national media from what I hear and see isn't really true. The only place he's maligned is right here and some of the local media.

If we were a CB yes he'd be big, but he's a WR and as WR go, that's average size, maybe slightly above but nothing special

Or could have meant they didn't really consider Sammy as knew he'd be gone by the time they even got close to picking?

Likely everytime there's a commercial break on WGR, Schoop spends the entire time laughing at how he makes these comments and the rating go through the roof as everyone is talking about his show.

Understand, Not saying Cam was better either. My point is if I were a WR and got traded to Green Bay, Pitt, NE, or New Orleans, I'd say yes I have a QB now. Others, good, but not great. Happy for the deal, but didn't understand that comment

I'm not a TT hater by any means, but this is still a stretch.

Usually hard to appeal that isn't it?

Just read the ESPN article about his arrival in Jax. Talked about how shocked he was to be traded. One thing he did say, thought was kind of funny and the reason he's now in Jax, he mentioned how he arrived in the middle of the worlds largest cocktail party. Certainly he'd be one to notice, just what he needs.

Biggest concern I see with picking up any WR/TE is the time it takes to build up a relationship with the QB. You're not likely to get good value back for him this season. Even when the Bills picked up Loften mid-early season, he didn't do all that much the 1st year. Think that may be part of the problem today with Mathews too. Think that's the position that takes the most time to jell.

A big reason we don't throw much to WR is they aren't strong enough to scare the opposing defense. Put a guy like Hilton out there with Mathews and a combo of Jones, Holmes, and can't recall the guy who had 100 yards last weeks and defenses will need to start paying more attention.

But only in Buffalo and NYC, typically no secondary markets like Rochester, etc. If you're on LI, likely can get the local NYC OTA telecast

People hate to look dumb, so they double down and look even dumber. Guess that's dumb and dumber all rolled into one.

Re #7 on the PI, two points I'd make, if you're going to call that, on the next Raiders drive forget who it was pushed off on the Bills DB and no call. If you want to cal lit tight, call it both ways. 2nd point, never saw a replay showing both Mathews and TT together, but based on where Mathews pushed off and eventually caught the pass, seemed too much time for the ball to have already been in the air when he pushed off. If the pass hadn't yet left TT's hand it can't be PI. That's how it'c called on the defensive side, holding before pass is thrown, PI once ball is in the air. One other point, was a little surprised with the Bills scored the TD to go to 27. I was wondering if they would have gone for two so they'd be up by 14? I'm not a big fan of "chasing points" and was stil la little bit early to start. The last TD, by then was too late to mater.

If it's concussion related may be they sent him home to lay down in a dark room which is often prescribed

Hmmm..... read the title thought the guys was having some kind of spinal issues.

Recently was reading the scouting reports on Peterman, certainly sounds like he could be good, you just never know. Last Monday night were making such a big deal about Goff's size 6'4" and 240 lbs. Peterman was listed at 6'-2" and 215. Is two inches and 20 pounds that much of a difference.?

They got rid of a guy wit ha huge contract, one misstep away fro m a one year suspension, and who's hasn't played a whole lot. That's the best value they'd ever get for him.

Great idea, can you give us the name of the guy who's guaranteed to be great? Maybe an Andy Dalton, Joe Flacco, or a Ryan Tannerhill clone??
