Not an enlightening one or even a leap but many that continually beat up on the Bills, and it's well-deserved, recognize that these hot takes are click and view bait because this market is tuned into the media, regularly pulls high ratings for viewership and is highly engaged so it's one way to get attention. So glowing supports the bigger markets but has a hot take on the Bills and basically covers all his bases. Has he even been positive on the Bills?

Chuck Wagon Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 The Jets feel like a classic "FA Splash" that disappoints team. They certainly have some guys in their D front 7, but have glaring holes on the roster at CB and on the Oline and did little to nothing to address them. Adding a high priced RB and LB sure feels like flash over substance in 2019. Dolphins? Come on. I'm firmly in the pump the brakes camp on the Bills kool-aide, but if we finish well outside the playoffs the Jets and the Dolphins aren't going to be the reason why. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D521646 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Boy, another national media guy down on the Bills.. Wait, isn't he always down on the Bills? Hard to take him seriously though when he thinks Miami comes out the AFCE as the WC.. I mean, I hate the Jets, but they got objectively much better this year, similar to us. Jets have a serious OL issue, something we had until FA and the draft.. Miami got on impact player, ONE, the rest of their draft either don't make the team, or are role players. Bills got at least 3 starters, and by my count 3 role players, might have a couple on the PS, but overall our draft was pretty great. I see us conservatively as a 10 win team, 11, if we manage to beat the Pats once, Jets once, and Fins 2. Fins season will come down to which Fitzy they get starting the season..

ComradeKayAdams Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Here's all you need to know in order to understand Colin Cowherd's football opinions: NYC: #1 metro area in population Miami: #7 metro area in population Boston: #10 metro area in population Buffalo: #50 metro area in population He has openly expressed his disdain for blue collar people and small cities and feels that the NFL would be a better league if the Buffalo Bills had moved to Toronto. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 he's good at what he does, heck he has us talking about him, but he is a fan like someone pointed out above, not a pro. to me, Rosen sucks. he's physically weak and has attitude problems on top of that. he was developed really early in his life as a QB, so he is skilled, but i don't think he will deliver the goods. i do suspect, assuming miami put some talent around him, that early in the season he may play a couple good games, but when the cold comes and he gets worn down over a season, he will fold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Avon Lake now Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I'd rather think about blow out losses with Josh at QB. Don't remember offhand, but most of his losses last year were close games. I like under the radar Bills. Hopefully we can get a good start to the season and roll on. It isn't impossible to win the division if we play like we did in 2017 and catch a few breaks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Cowherd is a loud mouthed naysayer. He throws cold water on teams that have real hope of improving. He pumps up the obvious and big market teams. I’m sure it’s a schtick. He might be perfectly nice or a total tool in real life. No idea. Either way, view everything he says through that lens. Him dogging the Bills just means we are looking like we could really improve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 He's right about the blowout losses being a concern. The defense especially against the run collapses for long periods of time. The defensive ranking last year is a mirage. The defense did not pressure the QB and turnovers were down. The pass rush needs to get much better and the offense needs to stay on the field longer. I have no idea what he is talking about with the young QB do better with offensive minded HCs. Manning x 2, Brady, Cam Newton, Luck, Lamar Jackson, Matt Ryan, Russell Wilson, Ben Roethlisberger and hell even the likes of Andy Dalton, Carr, and Bridgewater all started their careers with defensive minded head coaches. LA , Dallas, and Philadelphia are recent examples of offensive minded coaches having success with young QBs. Rosen is better than this board thinks and was a great move by Miami. The rest of Miami's roster is a dumpster fire. They will struggle to get to 3-13. Brady had stretches last year where he looked his age and with Gronk gone the offense will be different. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea Miami is one of New England's least favoured stadiums to play in. They have a pretty poor record there the last decade. I still see Miami 4th of the 4 to be honest but they did have a decent enough draft and if that oline does hold up then Rosen could well be an upgrade on Tannehill.

freddyjj Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Personally never been a fan of "Sellin Cowturds" - just a squawk box IMO. Rosen is also an East Coast media darling given his millennial, me-too, anti-MAGA agenda. Forget he has a weak OL and no receivers in MIA. They will struggle to win 6 games. Like most major media outlets, Cowturd caters to NYC, MIA and the supreme beings in New England. Wouldnt pass my litmus test of asking a media member to name 6 starters on each side of the ball. I do think Jets/Bills will be the great AFCE rivalry going forward in the next decade. Pretty cool that Allen and Darnold are buds too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I don't get "upset" at national media projections like this because it is so easy to see that his analysis is not well thought out. Let's look at the AFCE. The Fish do not have a good roster -- and Rosen played worse than Allen last year. Colin's argument that "young QBs play better with an offensive HC" apparently doesn't apply to the Fish I guess, since Flores is their coach? Lazy. The Pats*** draft grades are all over the board. Yes, as long as Belichick and Brady are there (or someone topples them) they are rightfully the favorites, but they are not a "powerhouse" like in some years past and they have holes. The Jets added flashy pieces (Bell, Moseley) and drafted a very good DT in Williams. They have improved on paper -- but why is their "paper" worth more than the Bills' "paper?" Arguably no team in the NFL did as much to improve their roster "on paper" as the Bills did in FA and the draft. Both the Bills and Jets have 2nd year QBs, and one could argue that the continuity on the Bills' coaching staff is more of a benefit to Allen than "crazy eyes" Gase is to Darnold. After the Pats*** both the Bills and Jets are logical choices to show improvement. The Fish are a mess. If Rosen plays better they could be a .500 team. I think Cowherd does this, truthfully, to drive social media "outrage" among rabid fan bases like the Bills. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
