  1. Will Kaep be willing to ride the pine? Because no GM in the league would have him starting over a 2nd year QB with high upside. We've seen Kaep. When he's good he's pretty good, when he's bad, he falls behind Blaine Gabbert on the depth chart. The dude hasnt played in 3 years, and when he last played he wasn't good. I know the woke crowd wants this redemption arc, that's great, I just hope he goes and fails on some other team, the Bills don't need to borrow that drama..
  2. Is it possible in your world to dislike both Kaep and Hunt? I don't care for Kaep and his Girlfriend's ultra-woke politics, but the bigger issue is I don't believe he'll be able to come back and be anywhere near as effective as he was before. Especially if he still thinks he's going to be a starter making starter money and demanding the spotlight wherever he lands. Hunt, on the other hand, shouldn't even be in the league any more and is probably lucky hes not in jail. I wouldnt want him on my septic tank cleaning crew much less my NFL team
  3. Can he still kick it? If we're going to miss field goals anyways lets at least have a little nostalgia
  4. So what does 'suck worse' mean in this context? I have been in management for a long time, and have hired tons of people, and had to fire some as well. As often as not, someone gets invited to leave because they're a cancer to the organization, NOT because they weren't a good coder. Kaep may well be a 'better' QB than some backups (which, who knows if he's any good at this point or not, it's a huge risk) but pure QB ability is only one aspect of what you're hiring for if you're a NFL GM, especially in the backup QB role. edit: My intent here was to say that no team is obligated to hire Kaep, or even consider him. There is no guarantee of employment with an NFL team. Even if he is 'better' than another player currently employed by the league. I wonder if he's still demanding $20m a year? I think it was Deadspin that claimed to have uncovered the amount, I might be mistaken though
  5. I mean, yeah, they're terrible up the middle. Is your point that coaching is to blame? I'd agree. They've certainly spent resources but the results arent there.
  6. Right, because they're not trying to make Jackson be something he isn't
  7. Also, if they dont address the middle of their D, they're going nowhere ever. Basically, at 6-2 we were all wanting them to be as good as that record. They're not. Too many holes and with coaching that seems to highlight the holes rather than hide them
  8. I wonder if they could trade a half dozen bad TEs for a #1 receiver. Alas, to ask is to answer also, Daboll should stick to what he knows, which I'd assume is competitive eating, rather than playcalling in the National Football League
  9. No, you don't understand. Daboll is saving Singletary for NEXT time they play the Browns. He's playing 12th dimensional chess and you're stuck at checkers
  10. They just stacked bad decisions. Rather than a quick out to Beasley, or even one over the middle for a first, throw an ultra low probability pass to Brown, then have to kick from the full distance
  11. His play calling manages to be both ineffective at moving the ball, situationally terrible (can't figure out how to get a first to burn clock to save his life), but also a terrible, boring grind to watch. I don't even know how he does it. A 12 year old mashing buttons in Madden would call a better game
  12. I'm not sure there's a bigger question than 4th and 4 for the game. Additionally, whatever the Bills' analytics team is working on, they're not doing a very good job. Unless, of course, Daboll's super cute and clever play calling is a result of analytics. For example, when facing the #30 run defense, make sure to pass 75% of the time, they'll never know what hit them!
  13. Yeah I absolutely love this. Now they should move the team back to Buffalo
  14. OK Boomer
  15. Oh, another woke n broke millennial heard from! I'm sure your two word replies were a big hit on Kinja It seems that all of the GMG universe had/has an editorial rule where writers have to work oRaNgE mAn BaD into every article. Regardless of how you feel about Trump, it's just boring, and derivative work that I can find on a million other sites
  16. If there was any actual commercial value to GMG, Ramos wouldnt have had to sell them for pennies on the dollar, after buying GMG for pennies on the dollar in bankruptcy. You absolutely cannot square the cold hard financial facts with your narrative that those were 'valuable' properties. The new management team WANTS the old staff to leave. They want to be content aggregation and advertising, not a lightning rod for controversy and a place for all the cool socialists to hang out, because frankly, that's a pretty lousy demographic to sell to advertisers what with their poor personal grooming and bad financial accumen
  17. Splinter died (deservedly) a month ago. G/O media doesn't really have a political site any more. Remember too that Splinter effectively replaced Gawker after GMG outed Peter Thiel, then released the Hulk Hogan sex tape. During the trail AJ D(whatever his last name was) made a joke while testifying that was pretty much strait up pedophilia, which horrified the judge and jury, who ultimately found for Hogan and effectively bankrupted GMG. Jorge Ramos bought them for pennies on the dollar and mostly used them as a vanity publisher for his own stupid ideas, bled money, and sold at a huge loss to G/O whose plan is to turn it into an advertising platform with some minor content aggregation. It's the best way to wring whatever remaining value is still left. The lesson here is, give a bunch of edgy leftist millenials a somewhat valuable property, watch them burn it to the ground. Get woke, go broke.
  18. daboll will think about your request over 11 pizzas and a nice tall glass of butter
  19. Agreed. And even if he's not a top 10 QB, let him play his game, and get the most out of what he is rather than a pale facsimile of what he will never be
  20. I hate that you're right about this. I'm not sold on any of the QBs of that class either.
  21. And with my innovative 11 TE set, a TE can throw a ball to another TE, with a couple TEs out in front to block. it'll be unstoppable! even dabol cant screw this up!
  22. It's a terrible shame that the Bills are prohibited from ever throwing screen passes, it would be a real boon to this O, and would fit the players we have so well. The good news is the 11 TE set is really looking ready to take the next step
  23. Agreed 100%. When Foster is playing, teams have to respect the deep threat. All this smug, too-cute, multi TE sets where everyone is shoulder to shoulder like the 1902 NY Giants is just the dumbest thing in this day and age. Spread the O out, get Foster on the edge, and complete a couple passes early, stop the safeties from cheating up
  24. I get what you're saying, but the fact is, nobody is afraid of Allen's deep ball this year, and are adjusting their Ds accordingly. The first few games the Run O was better because foolish D coordinators were worried Allen might use his NFL's strongest arm to push the ball downfield. At the end of the day, what I'm saying is that Dabol isn't working out. We're not using the personnel we have for their strengths, or if we are, we have a lot less talent that we thought. I still don't get why we arent seeing more of Foster, there has to be something to that story. I mean put him out there, he can drop the ball just as effectively as Kroft or Knox
