Nathaniel Can't Hackett But Rodgers wants him, the ayahuasca gave him some visions about Nate being the guy for a sb run and the GM/HC wouldn't have the balls to rightfully fire this clown

Nate Hackett is the one piece of evidence I see that makes me think that the Rooney Rule has a point. There is nepotism in the league. There's no secret. Shedeur Sanders doesn't get this much buzz if his dad isn't a Hall of Famer. There are plenty of coaches for whom it's a family profession, with coaches bringing their kids on. https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/graphics/2022/11/22/nfl-coaches-nepotism-filled-dozens-positions/10702777002/ I don't think it's malicious. I think coaches want to share the love of the game with their kids. Aaron Kromer started with his dad. I am sure that no one in San Fran is going right now "I don't know, I think that being Mike Shanahan's son might have helped Kyle, are we sure he's really got it?" But when coaches staff teams with their kids as coaches, and then they make friends with people their age who have similar life experiences and worldviews and you get coaches where you ask "how the hell are they still in the league?" and it's because they have a connection like this. Hackett is just the most glaring example of someone who has failed upwards to the highest levels

Please. That figure, 40th, is if you include guys like Chris Manhertz, who has two receptions on the season for a total of 16 yards. Apparently, 10 of those 16 yards were after the catch, though, so the guy must be great. Or Kenny Yeboah, near the top of the list because he's averaging 10.0 yards of YAC on his two completions for 28 yards. Guys like Lucas Krull with 8 catches, Brycen Hopkins with 3, Stone Smartt with 9, Nate Adkins with 4, Julian Hill with 5, Brenton Strange with 5, Mitchell Wilcox with 9, MyCole Pruitt with 8, Josiah Deguara with 8 and Elijah Higgins with 12 ... Throw out guys with less than 30 catches and he's about 15th in that stat, and I don't believe any of the guys above him are rooks.

It's something into am cheering for, and honeslty I'd even attend if the games were closer. Something fun to do with the kids. But that means it needs to be cheap, which means no revenue... How do you attract good players if you can't pay them? NCAA is the NFL farm system, has been for decades, and now, as was mentioned by ControllerofPlanetX, with NIL deals in place, most of these guys won't be incentivized to play in any league but the NFL. Obviously unless there's no other choice. As was mentioned, the only way for it to be viable is a true connection to the NFL either with allocation of players, or some revenue deal to bolster it's ability to draw in better players. I mean if you really want to think about how inferior the QB play is, Nate Peterman is statistically one of the worst QBs in NFL history, and he's on a roster... The dudes in the XFL and USFL were considered downgrades to that lol. I mean I want it to do well, hell I wish Buffalo still had an Arena team, that too would be fun and different, but I'm not sure how it's gonna happen. And frankly I'm not invested enough to pay money for it via streaming or something so I don't see where their revenue is gonna come from.... But if the Bills allocated 10-15 dudes to play there I would absolutely watch, and probably pay a nominal fee. But at the end of the day where's the benefit to the NFL? They can develop these guys at their own pace in their own training camps safely without worrying that they're going to get blown up in the off-season and that players done. It's a double edge sword... They're also are NFLPA concerns and salary cap discussions to be had with a partnership.

Now do 2023 alone. I was listening to the Locked On Podcast from yesterday with Joe Marino, who had Nate Geary on as a guest. Anyone not familiar with Geary... dude knows his stuff. Geary said that Josh Allen (as of yesterday) has the 2nd best TD:TO ratio in 2023 and it's pretty much ignored by everyone. You did the math since 2018. Do the math for this year alone. Pretty much shatters your narrative as far as 2023 goes.

So I'm not saying I'm an advocate for drafting Keon Coleman in the 1st or anything, but I think way too much is being made of his 40 time at the Combine. I realize all I'm going by is highlights, but his play speed looks plenty fine to me. First play at 18 seconds shows him plenty fast and elusive enough. Play at 1:51 looks like a guy with more agility and route running than Gabe. The next play (that you see from the All-22 at 2:10) shows pretty good route running ability along with the speed to separate from the defender. At 2:41 you see him used in a Bubble Screen with enough speed and agility to get away from the defender and get into the EZ. Watch his Punt return at 3:00 and tell me that a guy at that size returning a punt like that isn't impressive. Another effective Bubble Screen at 1:03 Effective WR screen behind the LOS at 1:30 I'm going to stop there. I've been listening to a lot of sports podcasts lately that aren't just Bills ones. Move the Sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. First Draft with Field Yates and Mel Kiper Jr. The Athletic Football Podcast with Nate Tice and (sometimes) Dane Brugler. What you hear a lot about the scouting process is the phrase "grade the flashes." Basically, grade those players in their best moments. Keon Coleman in his best moments looks like a 1st round WR, to me. All that said, I do think his draft stock is down after the 40 time, so if we drafted Coleman, what I'd like to see us do is actually trade DOWN into the top of the 2nd and acquire more draft picks and use those other draft picks to slingshot up for more picks in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th round because there's supposed to be a significant drop off in talent after the middle rounds.

Nate on the postgame mentioning how this is making him hate watching football. They have been miserable to watch since the Green Bay game.

Could Allen be Michael Jordan with the Wizards? And does that make Nate Peterman Michael Jordan during his baseball years? Who's the Michael Jordan from Space Jam? Burrow?

To be fair tons of kids are bullied no matter what your last name is Doesn't make it right but I guarantee there was a hundred other kids at orchard Park getting bullied Every single professional coach who has a child whether they're a football coach or basketball coach or a hockey coach etc Has to deal with stuff like that You don't think Nate hackett's kids probably get roasted in New York City because how inept his dad is? They are probably massive targets It's not just a buffalo thing

You know you're right. I didn't count that year cuz it was total purge and reload year and I didn't realize Josh started/played in that many games. I remember going to two games that year. The Bears when Nasty Nate started and the Cheats when Derek Anderson started. Then there was also the legendary Barkley start vs the Jets. That was an ugly but necessary season that catapulted us into 4 straight playoff seasons, hopefully 5 or more.

And on the 4th and 20, all Nate Clements had to do was knock it down but he went for the INT, it went thru his hands and the receiver made a great catch along the sideline. Sound familiar?

They beat the Chiefs their last game. Its good to keep up with events. The Broncos have been solid for a number of weeks now. They have started shaking off the Nate Hackett stank.

That Jags game in week 1 was lost when Nate Clements tried for a pick on 4th and long and he deflected the ball to the receiver. If he had just knocked it down, the Bills would have been in the playoffs. Yes, it still bothers me.

Why is President Trump consistently leading in the polls ?? The secret. Joe Biden is losing to Donald Trump because of a dirty little secret: Donald Trump is actually the moderate in this race. This week, new polling showed what Democrats have long feared: Donald Trump is now in commanding position to defeat Joe Biden and win reelection in 2024. According to the latest New York Times/Siena poll, Trump is up 48-43 over Biden; what's more, Biden is actually underwater among Hispanics, earns just two-thirds of Black votes, and has cratered among independents. According to the RealClearPolitics polling average, Trump now leads in every swing state but Pennsylvania and is within the margin of error there, too. Nationally, Trump has not trailed Biden since September 2023. We all know what's going wrong for Biden: He's widely perceived as too old to be running again; Americans remain unhappy with the economy, deeply enraged over border policy and alarmed by the brush fires around the world. Biden came into office promising normalcy, and he has instead delivered chaos. But there's something else going on, too. Joe Biden is losing to Donald Trump because of a dirty little secret: Donald Trump is actually the moderate in this race. On nearly every issue, Trump is closer to the median voter than Biden. Biden won the Democratic primaries over Sen. Bernie Sanders in 2020 because voters thought he would tack toward the center, away from the insanity of The Squad in Congress -- borderline psychotics like Reps. Cori Bush, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar. Instead, he entered office believing that he had a mandate for transformation, that he could become our age's FDR or LBJ. And so Biden abandoned the middle. And median voters are now abandoning Biden. As election analyst Nate Silver rightly observes, The New York Times poll shows that "only 83 percent of voters who say they chose Biden in 2020 plan to vote for him this year, whereas 97 percent who voted for Trump plan to vote for Trump again. These are swing voters, in other words -- people who are explicitly stating to pollsters that they are switching their vote from 2020. There are a substantial number of them." Because the legacy media are monolithically radical on matters of politics, they keep encouraging Biden to double down on the left-wing base, hoping that by steering toward the radicals, he can boost voter turnout. But that strategy is leaving independent voters behind. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2024/03/06/the_dirty_little_secret_of_the_2024_campaign_150605.html ,

Nate Geary had this discussion on the Extra Point Show last night and basically echoed this sentiment. Take away the Bucs game and since Week 5, he's got 6 catches on 17 targets for 83 yards. That's it. It's pathetic. Even with the Bucs game, he's only got 15 catches on 29 targets for 170 and a TD.

I really don't understand the belief that Rodgers is super loyal to people like Nate Hackett and Tim Boyle. Boyle played two years with Rodgers, he was third string one year and second string the next. Rodgers probably barely knew Boyle existed. Same with Hackett. He was OC for two years with Rodgers and didn't even call plays, Matt Lefleur did. This year Hackett's offense has scored 10 TDs all season, the same as the Dolphins scored in one game. Hackett's offenses have been historically bad for two years in a row. Why would Rodgers refuse to play without Hackett and Boyle?

49ers are the best in the league but eagles and chiefs are right there. I’d kill to be in the Rams position. I just want one trophy. Nate Geary nailed it on his show. You can’t fight fate. That miraculous FG was always going to go in. We are just cursed. You knew that FG was going to go in too deep down in your soul if you were being honest, just admit it. There was never a doubt. If it was against any of the other franchises, there would’ve been some drama with it. It’s an awful feeling knowing it’s just not meant to be.

It was really the best thing to happen to Allen that AJ was garbage and Peterman was their guy. Peterman was so awful that even when Allen was awful, there was no clamoring for the backup. The fans and the locker room knew it was Allen or nobody. it made Allen look pretty good by comparison. He had a shaky rookie year, but every time he made a play, guys like Shady McCoy were loving it. it forced Allen into action earlier than they wanted. I am a firm believer in rookie QB’s starting. Guys like Lamar and Josh would not be the QBs there are today if they didn’t take their lumps early. Remember when Josh couldn’t beat cover zero, and the light finally turned on vs the Ravens in 2019 and he almost won that game? That doesn’t happen without playtime. You also don’t know if your QB is the guy if they don’t play enough. You don’t see that incremental improvement. The only QBs who benefit from not playing are the bad QB’s. Bryce Young may suck, but they will know if he sucks soon enough. If he played 6 games this year, they’d be sitting around saying he’s basically a rookie still for 3 years. In short, @The Real Buffalo Joe, you should be thankful for the Nate Peterman experience.

Don't be knockin' Leodis "MAH MAN" Boomhauer.

Agreed on OBL, when we're playing like this, they are impossible to listen to. Props to Nate Geary last night.. his monologue post game was cathartic.
