9/8 Around the NFL Gameday Thread


BuffaloBill

Recommended Posts

The Steelers, for better or worse, lost major talent. Smith-sheister ain't no ab and James Connors sure as hell ain't to leveon bell. Connors is in fact a very average back. But does a good job in the receiving game. Pitts d is middle of the road too. But the Pats do look damn good tonight which is scary.

Conners now just average? Wasn't he the reason why everyone keeps saying you don't need to spend money on a RB because you can get them anywhere and that he was the reason why they could let Bell sit out?

Average as a runner in my eyes. Was not good the second half of last season and tonight hes 10 for 21.

So under wraps that Roethlisberger and Todd Haley had to be physically separated and kept away from each other on multiple Sundays? They needed a middle man because the two refused to talk to each other for an entire season. 

 

Yeah, totally under wraps. Tomlin has had more talent at the prime positions than most coaches could dream of and he managed one SB victory on the heels of a veteran laden team built by Cowher.

Look, he has had zero losing seasons in 12 years with a lot of personnel turnover. The NfL is a rough business with a lot of a-holes (including roethlisberger, who by many accounts is a big one) and sadists. At the end of the day, he has 2 SB appearances, one SB victory, and a .654 winning percentage. They have had talent, for sure, but so do a lot of teams that fail.

Agreed. Connor is significantly worse than Bell. I also think Roethlisberger looks kinda near the end.

Unless Lamar Jackson is playing the Dolphins every week he is not very good. Wait until he plays the Chiefs in two weeks. He will look like a bad college quarterback when he actually has to put up points against a good team. 

 

Schopp hates you know :lol:

Just a random thought as I pop in on the Cardinals game- would you flip them a 3rd or so for Chandler Jones if they end up being terrible? 

 

No, 5th.

I don't think we have to worry about the Steelers for the wild card.

 

It is a good year to play the AFCN. I have said it all offseason. Maybe Baltimore with their defense and that funky O will win the division?

When will teams learn that you never hire a Belichick coordinator to be your HC

 

When Miami hired Brian Flores over Kris Richard we had a result. Richard can coach and I think will make a decent HC some day. Flores is just another rotten branch off the Belichick tree.

Deion Sanders said on NFL network after the game that he doesn't think Roethlisberger will finish out the season as Steelers QB.

 

Said a couple more games of this and he is going to retire.   Said he looks lackluster and the entire team is uninspired.

Daniel Jones getting garbage time. Gmen bringing QB controversy to the Bills?

 

Not according to their HC.   From what I heard on the Radio Eli wasn't horrible.  

 

 

 

The Lions came out ROARING then did their rendition of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button .

I strongly disagree, but I don’t care quite enough to do a deep-dive argument about it. People said the same about Joe Torre, and they were wrong because they overestimated tactical acumen over people management skills. Tons of NFL people think Gase is a truly brilliant offensive mind, bit he’s a bad manager of humans.

Why is this? I will never understand. His offense last year ranked even worse than the Bills (31). Now he has a top 3 pick at QB, leveon bell, a bunch of good WRs, a rebuilt OL and ... a brilliant offensive mind might squeeze a bit more out of the “turnip”. He also admittedly has nothing to do with the defense so can concentrate completely on the offense!

 

 

Quote

Offense

The defense handed the offense the ball three times in the first half off turnovers and the Jets failed to score each time. They had 11 possessions in the game and only one ended with a score. Adam Gase’s debut was a dud. QB Sam Darnold (28 of 41, 175 yards, 1 TD) was under constant pressure, getting sacked four times. The offensive line had no answers for Buffalo’s blitzes. WR Jamison Crowder (14 catches, 99 yards) and RB Le’Veon Bell (17 rushes, 60 yards, 6 catches, 32 yards, 1 TD) were the only bright spots.
Grade: F

 

Coaching

The offense had no flow after a summer of talking about how creative and explosive it could be and Gase had no solutions.

I say it on here all the time. Give me good leaders over innovative scheme guys. If you can find someone who is both you have hit the jackpot.

Not only do the Browns have the worst uniforms ever the paint in the Endzone is just as bad.

 

I really wanted baker Mayfield but he really comes off as a dick.

 

Josh Allen all day !!!

 

 

I felt the same way about him.  Makes you wonder if the Bills, in their evaluations, saw that and didn't see him as a fit for the team...albeit they didn't have the opportunity to draft him anyway.

probably, i heard we didn't even have him on our board so there was definitely something they didn't like.

Bengals got screwed, Dalton DID NOT fumble the ball

 

That guy Al Riveron (or whatever his name is) in NY HQ is truly amazing. How can someone with the benefit of sober second thought, multiple angles and all the time to render his decision get it wrong no less than 100% of the time?

Reading Edelmans "America's Worst Nightmare Tour" stuff makes me think how much fun it must be to get over on everyone time and time again.

 

They gave up on being loved like Peytons teams years ago and embraced the image of heartbreakers and soul crushers.

 

Every good show needs a villian and they are the ultimate villian for most NFL fans

 

By staying together they are giving the young guys a chance to add wins over them to their resumes, which is important to the future of the game.

 

No yeah buts on Allen and Mahomes 10 years from now if they get some Ws over the evil empire!

If the one leak we have ever seen is to be believed, they had Baker 3rd behind Allen and Darnold. Extremely plausible they would have taken Allen over Baker if they had the chance.

Makes you wonder if there isn't some sort of favoritism or bias going on.
