Ummm, that's some fairly revisionist history regarding Alex Smith He played in KC for 5 seasons (2013-2017) and compiled a 50-26 record. They made the playoffs 3 of those years, and their best season with him at QB was 11-5 During that same timeframe, Tom Brady was 60-16 Peyton Manning's last 5 seasons, he was 55-16 I get the comparison somewhat, but Mac Jones hasn't shown even the physical ability that Alex Smith had in his career. There's a reason why he was the #1 overall pick in 2005 To me, Mac Jones is more like a Chad Pennington - cerebral, accurate, but you knew what his ceiling was going to be VERY early on in his career Chad Pennington - 44-37 record, 102 TD's, 64 INT's, 66% completions, and went 2-4 in the playoffs for teams that were usually good but never great

DOOOOOOOOOOMED!!!!!!

Yeah, the 2022 Bills won't go anywhere without a guy that played 6 years in the league, scored 7 TD's and averaged 11.2 YPC. He barely sniffs the field with this team unless it's on special teams

I think that this says a lot about the Bills approach to team-building. Don't devote all of your resources into one or two specific areas at the detriment of other position groups. Draft, develop, retain, and value depth Have a cohesive short-term and long-term vision Once McBeane weeded out all the baggage, you really can't say that we're weak or bottom of the league at any position groups. That plus a Top 5 QB, is how championships are won

I was not quite old enough to have watched and appreciated all of the football that was played in the 1980's But I don't remember ever thinking that Joe Klecko was a dominating HOF type player. Yes, he did a lot of the dirty work that helped free up Gastineau and got a lot of sacks in his own right, but Hall of Fame? Nah. Hall of Very Good - sure, why not And just for S&G, I looked up career AV on Pro Football Reference just now: Joe Klecko - 91 Fred Smerlas - 104 And no one's really ever been banging the drum for old Freddy to get in

That's already more fight than any of the Pats put up against us in last year's playoffs

It was more to see what happened with Watson than anything else. But god help me, I lived in Jacksonville for 2 years. I went to one game and that was only with free tickets. Never again

The Giants will be starting Tommy Sweeney at TE at some point this year

I think that with this week being at home that we'll see more starters than this past week, then let them rest for Week 3

Zay Jones The Jax homer announcers were practically self-fellating themselves over his potential during the first pre-season game. Plus, I've heard of him

I'm sure that he's not much of a turd blossom as folks like Jay Cutler or Jeff George, but I would say the bigger mitigating factor is the $20M salary cap figure that he's currently carrying and the fact that it's now less than 4 weeks until Week 1. The ship has sailed for anyone trading anything worthwhile for him when they could just wait for the Niners to blink and issue his release once healthy

I'm sure that he was intimately involved in working with the manufacturer on the recipe, ingredients, packaging, taste-testing, production, marketing, pricing, distribution, and transportation processes. He's also at each of the stores where it's currently being sold, is ringing up each purchase and collecting carts in the parking lot too. And he takes criticism of all his efforts here extremely personally, so he's monitoring this specific thread and his twitter feed for any negative comments too

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit after reading that sad collection of names

I think this guy is going to be a sneaky good-to-great pickup for us. Still relatively young, athletic, hungry And god help us, probably a much better value than Star ever was or could have been

Yeah I might decide to see him on the field in actual live game action before I crown him Busty McBustoffson

I'd be more than happy to face the trio of Tua, Mac & Zac for the next 5-10 years Nothing to fear with those clowns

One of the first key steps in disinfecting the toilet bowl of a culture that McBeane inherited, and building up the draft capital to eventually draft a franchise QB

We've got a busload of folks from our Harrisburg Bills Backers club making the 2 hour drive down. I bought a group of 20 or so tickets right after they went on sale in May and the Ravens rep said he had never seen a game sell out so fast. He gave mad props to us as Bills fans for representing on the road

Overall, the Pats are real short on team speed, athleticism and high end talent at the skill positions. That will only take you so far, and you can only play so much ground & pound in today's NFL Satan 2.0 will find ways to beat the garbage teams but they just don't have the horses to hold up against teams that can consistently score 24+ PPG Pats 2022 6-11

His entire appearance and aura is exceedingly punchable

7:25 AM???? Is Applebee's open that early?

I think that the Rams are going to have a pretty rough go of it this season. Super Bowl hangover on a bunch of fronts Any time that you have a coach that has already talked about retirement, he might as well already be out the door. Players and staff sense this, know this, and their level of commitment also takes a hit

If we're going to pay top $ for a LB, then we're doing the wrong thing from a team-building perspective, regardless of the quality of the player Better to keep the guy that's been in our system for 4+ years

I get that any long time assistant like Daboll desperately wants that first head-coaching gig. But good God, the Giants are a raging tire fire - honestly probably worse than what McBeane inherited in 2017. That team at least had SOME talent It's hard to see them winning more than 4 games, and that might be a kind prediction

I'm fascinated - what year, or even what specific game did Coy Wire do something meaningful on the field?
