How can you create a list like this and leave out Brady?? LOL Actually was curious which group you'd put him in today. He's kind of a wildcard as still very good probably belongs in the franchise group and could argue elite, but knowing that signing him is a big risk as one of these days he will completely fall off the cliff.

QB and maybe kicker (though that one doesn't matter much) are the only two positions in the league where there isn't at least 32 two very good to great players to go around. That is where teams get in trouble paying these guys top $$ hoping they can get by with him, but typically weakens the rest of the team around him as not enough money left to go around. There's a long list of QB's who got fairly large 2nd contracts only to never see the end of it as teams finally figured out this guy isn't cutting it and better to reset, usually happening after a coaching change.

Was Elway still running the show when that trade was made? My vote for worst ever would be Ricky Williams trade and 2nd Hershel Walker trade. Here are five bad ones: https://athlonsports.com/nfl/5-blockbuster-nfl-draft-trades-did-not-pan-out

Week 16 is right around the time the Raiders make their comeback every season! Agree both teams have legit shot of at least one of them making playoffs. But TV is more concerned with rating win than which is the better game. I think in this case what caused the change was both teams Wash/Giants in playoff hunt AND they both have big TV markets.

Have to say I am surprised that they pulled NE and Raiders from Sunday Night. While not a great game, are two popular teams with good draws. Not that NY Washington aren't.

Do recall reading at the time the odds of winning the game only went believe it was from 94% to 97% if they kicked the FG. Where as if the had scored a TD would have gone to almost 100%. The point in the article was that it wasn't really a bad choice to go for it as little would have changed.

I think it's the reverse of what happened with Allen. Jackson started strong won MVP 2nd season so he's the next coming of the greatest player ever. Once you get the reputation hard for the media to let go. Allen on the other hand started slow so he didn't get much benefit of the doubt till maybe late last season with the media. Even now there are still some who say Allen is nothing special. Can also argue many of Allen's completions too are made due to play breaking down and his scrambling. The difference is he has superior arm talent compared to Jackson so can make much more out of much less.

I've often wondered if Allen had been selected already, who would the Bills have taken instead? Likely either Mayfield or Darnold would have still been available at #7 then.

Agree, could see Seattle doing it just to make sure he doesn't go to SF.

On one of the games I was watching yesterday, don't recall which one, the announcers were talking about this and are convinced this will be a rule change next year making it illegal. Believe too in the SF game last drive by SF was 3rd or 4th and about 1. Tried a QB sneak he was going to be stopped well short. But then CMC who initially lined up about 7 yards deep now comes forward with a full head of steam and drive the QB forward another 2 yards for the the first down. Thought this play was the ultimate example of the "push play"!

Everytime there's early predictions on what the cap will be, it always exceeds that amount by a fair amount, so not too worried.

On the bright side, may have more time to work on contract.

Kind of off topic but am watching the Big-12 Conference tittle game. Bad throw was made by the TSU QB for an Int. Kirk H is announcing the game, just back from Thursday night Bills-Pats game. His comment was unless you're Josh Allen, you don't attempt to make that pass.

Once the season is over I think all Bills fans need to get their eyes checked. It just amazes me how seem to see every call some how is wrong (even up for discussion) and is questioned.

Don't leave out the Raiders in making stupid decisions. Though they don't have the money in this case.

Only two starters out on D, Miller and Hyde. Maybe there's a connection??

In today's Athletic, there's an article in part talking about how much more effective the Bills offense is when both Hines and Cook are in backfield together. So the the experiment is just ramping up.

I think that was the problem, by the time his elbow hit ground, he/it was OB. If that whole play occurred in middle of field would have been an Int.

The ejection part was what surprised me. Initially I assumed Kirk H was confusing college rules with NFL. But then ref said he was out??

Actually that was a mannequin as if you noticed he never moved.

So for the reasons you mention, Spencer Brown is now the new whipping boy as after playing like a total of bout 20 games and off season surgery, he's not all-pro yet.

Think when he came down on the ground, if that occurred in bounds would have easily been an Int, but because there was a juggle and by that point he was OB, ended up being ruled incomplete.

Yeah you're so much smarter. Even though you have no idea what is actually going on. But keep talking to convince yourself you know better.

You're obviously incorrect as posters here know much more than the coaching staff!

Gabe Davis missed one game and wasn't exactly healthy the first few weeks. This is the 2nd game Morse missed, Brown has missed two, Knox missed one game plus wasn't completely healthy in others. Crowder played a total of 4 games, and McKenzie also missed one. On top of that Allen has been less than 100% healthy past 3 games. So is far more than those two you mention. All starters I mention, didn't even bother with back ups. How quickly we forget!
