I'm pretty skeptical of Walter Football, and I can find any number of articles from more reputable sources saying differently: http://www.ocregister.com/2017/08/28/ucla-qb-josh-rosen-is-chosen-for-a-good-reason-5/ . Is he arrogant? Probably. Is that disqualifying? No. Like you, I think he has Rodgers potential. We shall see!

Talk about exaggeration! Link?

Jerry Jones makes Goodell look like a paragon of virtue.

If history is guide, then trading a fleet of picks, a la both Philly and LA in 2016, is definitely tihe right way to go.

Bingo -- 'You don't want to start creating bad habits or start doubting yourself, and that's what happens when games like this kind of go back to back and you start seeing a routine of things happening," linebacker Lorenzo Alexander said. You can't help but wonder whether Alexander and other senior defenders have reached a point where they simply don't physically have what it takes to do anything more than just wear a uniform. But that's far from the only issue. The younger guys look lost and confused. And McDermott and defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier appear helpless as they watch from the sideline, offering nothing in the way of schematic answers to put people where they need to be to make stops.'

Good take.

I think he was saying no excuses for taylor at least for today, and he's right.

Taylor was horrible today. No doubt about that.

The D gets zero pressure because the talent level on the d-line is abysmal. Hughes is the best of the bunch by far, and he's not even really average for a pass rushing specialist DE.

Kirby is one of the best and most informed posters on this site. Childish insults are a weak way to debate.

Because that was neither the point nor the subject of my post. The Bills' future qb is in all likelihood going to be drafted early in late April.

Did you tead what I actually wrote?

Eagles? How has Schwartz done against Brees historically? By way of comparison: In 12 games now, McDermott defensive squads have now given up an average of slightly over 30 points per game vs Brees/sean payton. That’s a large sample size, and with this sort of stuff i put stock in past history.

I thought they looked like a Super Bowl team.

Hate to break it to you, but Nathan Peterman is in no way, shape, or form the Bills qb of the future. That person will likely be drafted early in next year’s draft. Peterman is basically tj yates/case keenum - below average athletes who can manage games when the starter goes down. Yates was drafted in the fifth round.

Awesome play

Yup. He is clearly no longer a playmaker.

I have been a pretty vocal defender of the concept that Taylor is a decent qb, but he was awful today. Anyone pointing to the defense to defend him today is essentially crusading. I am beginning to have serious doubts about him. Hopefully he can bounce back, but the schedule doesn't really get any easier.

Easy - root for my brother to have a good game in a loss.

Good piece: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2017/11/10/thursday-night-football-should-be-illegal-was-seahawks-cardinals-the-tipping-point/?hpid=hp_hp-top-table-main_football-11am-winner%3Ahomepage%2Fstory&utm_term=.5a881685e697 Last night's game was an injury fest. So many stoppages of play.

When people bring this up, I always look to Paul Posluzny. Except for 2014, when he missed half the season, he has missed very little time in his seven years in Jax despite playing a highly injury-prone position (LB). Bills fans thought he was a China doll.

Jason Peters tore two achilles in quick succession and then returned to have a series of all-pro seasons. Just about everyone gets injured for substantial stretches in the NFL. It's the one thing you can accurately predict about NFL players' careers. People need to make their peace with this.
