YoloinOhio Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I still tend to believe Denver is where he ends up, but it seems like a lot of the national guys are linking him to Chicago based upon him being from the general area or the Jets based upon their market and a potential transition into media. But I'm not sure either team is remotely near where we are in relation to winning. I don't see how Houston and make it work financially, I don't see the Chiefs being so bold as to flip out Alex Smith for Romo and the 49ers and Browns aren't playing the same game talent wise. Taking either Davis or Williams at 10 and a defensive scheme that fits our personnel better could make us a very attractive destination, but the national guys will never admit it because we are tiny old Buffalo and it's cold for ~3 games out of the year. that is pretty spot on. One wild card could be Jacksonville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Herman Edwards was talking about the Bills as the potential spot but Stephen A.and Kellerman don't think so because it is "frozen over for those 6 months." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. We get Williams at # 10. And if Romo and Watkins stay healthy, we get an OT in round 2, we have a great offensive setup in both passing and running. Question is who do we get to backup Romo? Herman Edwards was talking about the Bills as the potential spot but Stephen A.and Kellerman don't think so because it is "frozen over for those 6 months." I love the lack of knowledge form the national media regarding Buffalo. And, BTW, why doesn't Green Bay (which is worse weather wise) get hammered like this? There are like 3 "cold" games a year.

Marv's Neighbor Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Total insanity! Could Romo take the beating Tyrod got last season? If he didn't slip on a mat during camp, he'd be on IR by the 2nd game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Wagon Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I heard a great take from a NFLN guy (I want to say Bucky Brooks) in relation to weather when it came out that Lynn preferred us over San Diego. The guy he was talking to was incredulous that would be a choice, but Bucky shot him down saying you are working 12-14+ hour days in a climate controlled area, the weather probably makes your wife a little happier, but no committed guy is hanging out at the beach anyway, weather is not a factor when guys are looking for the best place to succeed.

BuffaloHokie13 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Funny that just last season many thought TT was injury prone, and was very likely to get hurt Due to his size, not a history of missing 8+ games in consecutive years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't put all the blame the WRs, as we have seen via all 22s. If more than one team says their defensive strategy with TT is to "make him be a QB", well...

The Bills O-Line is a strength. They just need help at RT. You're wrong about that. Ryan Groy, John Miller and Mills were serviceable with Taylor at QB but without him they will be challenged to overcome physical limitations. Kujo looked good in place of the injured Cordy Glenn.......but then he broke his hip. And Incognito is going to be a year older. Wood struggled until Taylor came on board and he should probably be a cap casualty. This OL needs someone to keep it covered up. A few guys can do that.......Brady and Russell Wilson come to mind.........but most can't. Guys like Romo and even Big Ben and ARodgers need more time because they hold the ball and aren't elusive. All three have had it.......some of the better all around OL play in the NFL in front of those guys.
