Really good QBs can pick apart (relatively) complex zone schemes, which is what the Bills mostly run. Young QBs and ones who aren't very good at reading the field quickly really struggle. I felt Rodgers had a poor game - he was relatively inaccurate (for him) even on throws where the pressure was modest. But I also think that the pressure was off of GB and they played out the string given how bad the Bills' O is.

They are, but their defense isn't. The defense is bad.

And that was a pretty shaky call too. I'm shocked the Bills got that call.

Not really true. They spent a 2 on Watkins and a 1 on Cooks.

He was d-line coach for that Baltimore that won the SB. Marvin Lewis was the coordinator.

I am nearly certain he doesn't want to be here. The offense he plays on is terrible, and he loses ever more future money every week given the numbers he's putting up. Also, it wasn't like he chose to be here. Carolina basically shipped him off to what he probably regards as Siberia. He can't wait to get out, and he'd probably love a trade to Dallas. I also think he'd probably step up his game there.

What I've learned from the Bills this year is that when they play elite qbs with experience who know how to read the field and exploit mismatches, they get destroyed. Rivers, Flacco (I actually think he's pretty good, although not great), Rodgers, and Luck all chewed this D up and spit it out. Mariota and Watson? Not so much. The one outlier is Minnesota/Cousins, but that was just a weird game -- punctuated by the fact that one of their best players was (metaphorically, but only sorta) shipped off to the insane asylum right before the game. I think they end up getting annihilated by the Pats (twice), the Lions, and the Bears (because they're not going to be able to score). The D will be able to put up a fight against the Jets (twice), Miami (twice), and Jax. But the offense is so bad that the only way they win is by 16-13 scores. I can't see any better than 5-11. 4-12 sounds about right - splits with Miami/Jets and losing to Jax. They lose the rest big.

I thought "woo hoo" for 303 yards when they scored 3 points and turned it over 5 times was sarcastic!

I hope allen becomes decent (he's bad right now). The thing is, mahomes is one of the 2 or 3 best players in the league right now. It is highly unlikely that allen ever becomes as good as mahomes is now, but it's not impossible.

Do you seriously trust McDermott re QBs over Andy Reid??

Dude. Modern NFL. Get to know it. It's all about the qb. Also, we picked at the end of the first round ... BECAUSE WE TRADED OUT OF THE EARLY FIRST ROUND!

Whaley didn't make that pick.

The point is the trade itself. My view is that Andy Reid saw that he could roll a former novice of his who he knew was conservative, defense minded, and not a little naive (a corner? Really?). It was essentially like taking candy from a baby. The fact that it was Reid (a guy who has ALWAYS been right about quarterbacks) of all people who really wanted Mahomes should have told McDermott everything he needed to know.

Because they're hardcore fans, just like you. Questioning why people watch the bad team they love and who then emotionally complain about said bad team should be banned. But I know it won't. Still, deep down inside you should ask yourself why you condemn fans who say that their favorite team in life is unwatchable. They're going to watch anyway. And that's OK. Best to not say anything.

It was terrible! Are you thick, my friend??

I’m kidding. Sheesh! The performance is pathetic, and 303 yards would be the Saints’ worst performance of the season by a long ways.

I was being sarcastic too! (Obviously, or so I thought.)

Huh???

303 yards to be precise. Woo hoo!

Going into this game, indy's D was 30th in points allowed and 25th in yards allowed. Watching carolina and NE today, it's so clear that what offenses really need is players like kamara,mccaffrey (what a great player), and james white. Shady is that guy, and ivory is a terrible receiver. Shady was out, which destroyed the rb-oriented passing game.

Worst thing these crappy announcers have done today is blaming Benjamin on a play in which he did nothing wrong. I think they did it just to rile up bills' message boarders everywhere. Benjamin was running to the exact spot he was *supposed* to be running to and focusing on the ball, and the db read the play all the way. I am no benjamin fan, but sheesh. He did nothing wrong there AT ALL there.

Nah, Benjamin didn't see the db (because he was focusing on the ball and his pattern!!) and was running straight for the ball. Terrible comment by the announcer trying to let the qb off the hook. The safety read that play all the way. Benjamin was en route exactly where he was supposed to be. I don't like benjamin, but come on. Not his fault.

My biggest beef is that the team is so horribly boring. The offense is the dullest unit I've watched in years.

McCarron Time is coming!

Peters' 2011 season is generally regarded as one of the best seasons by an o-lineman in this past decade. So I disagree with you there.
