Different regime. The one in place now is good - and better than the one the Bills have. Jordan Matthews is a semi-rich man's David Nelson. He is not good, but as I say above, someone has to catch the passes, and since Nelson Aguilar can't catch, Matthews is the beneficiary by default. https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-jordan-matthews-knee-issue-may-be-more-than-tendinitis

yeah, really.

interesting.

How about being one of the worst rated CBs in the NFL last year by both PFF and PFR?

Now this is the sort of reaction we all know and love here. Baghdad Bob lives! (Gaines sucked last year, btw, and he has had a lot of injuries.)

Darby can play. Matthews isn't good. Let me ask you this: which organization is consistently better, Buffalo or Philly? I think we both know the answer to that.

That appears to be correct, sadly.

It's like their in a backassward bizzaro world arms race with the Jets.

As I say about the NBA - where even the worst team averages 85+ points - someone has to score and average 18-20 pts per game no matter how lousy they might be. With regard to Matthews, someone on that team has to catch the passes. Even the worst passing offenses have a 60+ catch receiver.

Yes. He sucks.

https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/G/GainE.00.htm Note his AV numbers. https://www.profootballfocus.com/nfl/players/ej-gaines/8823 #105 CB last year according to PFF - "poor"

yes it can.

No it's not.

Um, they're tanking. They have no chance to win the division and they have a hard schedule. We're now talking 4-5 wins as the logical over/under. Yup.

Dog, they are a terrible, terrible organization.

They are a terrible organization. This is no longer an opinion.

UCLA had a bad season last year because their very good QB went down with an injury halfway through the season. It happens. They'll never win a national championship because frankly the donors and alumni really don't care that much about football there (trust me). A three- or two-loss season is the best they'll ever do. Anyway, this is turning into a crusade (e.g., impressionistic anecdotes about campus beauty to make your "side" look better plus the childish name calling). I'm out.

You do realize that this list *only* includes teams in last year's top 25 teams in the AP ranking, right?!? UCLA - as well as Northwestern, Duke, and UVA -- didn't finish in the top 25. Sheesh.

Nice. Btw, my wife alerted me to the original bleacher report piece, which espn cribbed from and sensationalized a bit (surprise, surprise). http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2722587-josh-rosen-qa-ucla-qb-on-injuries-ncaa-and-post-nfl-goal-to-own-the-world?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=programming-national

You're making me like him more with this link. But I'm with C. Biscuit - if Incognito (a guy who was a wretched human not long ago) blocks well and refrains from felonies, I'm on board.

10 on his wonderlic. Just sayin'. Travis Henry and CJ Spiller are the relevant Bills comparables w/regard to that specific score. moreover, unless it's catastrophic, ACL injuries are 9 month injuries now.

Be careful - you're setting the lowest of low bars here. Plenty of knuckle dragging mouth breathers have gone to Bama over the years. Moreover, you're wrong. Ragland got a 10, which is the high bar on your link: http://wonderlictestsample.com/nfl-wonderlic-scores/ . And Reuben Foster got a 9! Travis Henry got a 9 and Spiller a 10. Finally, whether it's 10th worst or 25th worst, 9s and 10s on the Wonderlic are truly horrible scores. It basically means you're functionally illiterate.

Let's see how he looks this year before jumping to conclusions. If he' turns it and becomes a helluva player, I frankly don't give a damn what he thinks about the college system. I just want to win, preferably with non-felons.

Um, Watson majored in communications, which is sociology by another name (I speak from authority - my daughter is majoring in it). In terms of rigor, there isn't a dime's worth of difference at a place like Clemson. In many places, sociology is exceptionally rigorous (given its powerful intellectual tradition), and more rigorous than communications.
