PetermansRedemption Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I would be shocked if he didn’t retire. He wasn’t the same player in the 1 1/2 games he played this year anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Ben's been contemplating retirement for a while now, this might tip the scales for him. It's been rumored that coaches/team officials had to do a little convincing to get him back for this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Deion Sanders said last week that he wouldn't last the season and that he looked like someone who was pretty much done with the game. Granted, he didn't predict this injury, but he referenced how banged up of a player he was. I expect that his career is pretty much over. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderingsquid Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) Wow. This is huge for us. And I only care about us btw. The AFC North is shaping up to be a one team race (Ravens). If the Chargers are susceptible to a passing attack like yesterday vs the Lions, then things are wide open for us in the wild card race. I don't see any wild cards coming out of the AFC south and I don't see the Browns living up to their hype. Big whoop, they beat the Jets. Things are wide open for us now if we take care of business.

RyanC883 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I bet he comes back next year, but the issue will be if Rudolph plays well, what happens then? Terrible way to end a career. With Mason in, add McDonald to your fantasy teams if you need a TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah there has been an abundance of serendipitous occurrences for the Bills since that one-in-a-generation schedule came out. The Bills schedule reminds me of the Jaguars schedule in 1999 where they were able to earn home field advantage in the AFC when they weren't even the best team in their division(they lost to the Titans twice that season and again in the playoffs). Factor in the turmoil in Houston and Luck retiring and Foles breaking his clavicle.........the AFC division favorites are pretty clear cut after 2 weeks already and the Bills are in the drivers seat for the first WC if nothing else. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unbillievable Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) His contract is also fully guaranteed. +30mil/year in 2020-21. I'm wondering if the team cuts him and let him keep the money, or he retires and gives them some cap space.

I didn't think he would be an upper echelon QB; however, I did feel had the ability to be a top 15 QB. It will be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add to this, the NFC has been stepping on AFC teams, hanging L's on clubs perceived as Buffalo's competition for a playoff berth. Conference games are zero sum, one team has to get the W... but shipping wins out of conference increases the value of the wins already earned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Mason Rudolph performs well, I could see the Steelers wanting to move on from the drama that always seems to surround Rothlisberger. Rudolph is potentially a good QB and far more of a team guy than Rothlisberger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
