Rocky Landing Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I honestly lost count of how many times he hit his receivers and they just couldn't haul it in. But what really struck me was the expression on Rosen's face when they cut to a closeup of him under center. Ya kinda feel sorry for the guy...

They wear black and yellow colors out of homage to Steelers but man red, white, and blue would be more appropriate... Between Rose Bowls, Super Bowls, tailgating, bad luck, Ronnie Harmon, the style of play... You'd think they were separated at birth from the Bills! When I first moved to Davenport... My supervisor in Rock Island saw my New York plates the first day of work, the Bills sticker and said: "Yeah, don't feel bad, he (alluding to Ronnie Harmon) blew the Rose Bowl for us too!" /smh... Then I send my kid there 25 years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mannc Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 (edited) We should all hope that Rosen doesn't show enough this year to convince the Dolphins to trade out of the top draft pick in April, because they could make an absolute killing if they decide to do so. As bad as things are in Miami right now, it could turn around pretty quickly if the GM knows what he's doing.

Every guy on that team knows they are auditioning for jobs this year and next. The talent and cohesiveness hasn’t been there yet due to the purging management did. I don’t want to see Rosen go for 300 yards and 3 touchdowns against the Bills. This board will be impossible to go to for a week.month FIFY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they traded for Rosen, I thought they legit wanted to evaluate him. When they held a firesale on their OL, I thought "OK, they're tanking". Right now, though, it's a 4-way race for the top pick, with a couple of "wild card" contenders lurking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dopey Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Considering he was a rookie, didn't have David Johnson last year and has played with one the worst offensive lineups the past 2 seasons, he's done better than I ever considered he would. In my eyes, he was a top 10 pick when he came out. In a more stable situation, I think he would show well. Considering Mitch Trubisky has not thrown a td in 3 of their 4 games played, Chicago might be wise to make a move for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to crush his spirit early in this game and not let him build confidence. We are one of the teams he swore to make pay for passing on him in the draft. Let’s not give him that opportunity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly doubt he does, no o line no running game no receivers, and a defense that couldn’t stop a nose bleed frankly he’s playing very well due to how bad the team is around him but he can’t win it all on his own 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaw66 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Interesting comments about a couple of different things. First, although it feels natural to us to underestimate the Dolphins, all of the preparation this guys do each week, every week makes it almost impossible for the players to underestimate them. They see film, they're drilled to perform certain ways, and they ALWAYS are ready on game day. It's not like the NBA, where it's pretty clear some guys are unprepared for some games. The Bills will be ready;. Of course, the Dolphins will be ready. If they're in the NFL, they have talent. The coaching may or may not be getting everything out of the players. Every season some of the teams who look horrible early on in the season turn it around and play .500 ball or better. It wouldn't seem that's something the Dolphins will do, but I wouldn't be so sure. The NFL is strange. It's another good test for the Bills. If they are who we want them to be, the Bills will take control of the game early, build a lead and win comfortably. Doesn't mean there won't be rough spots in the game, but if the Bills are good, they will control the game. "Good" means Allen has another 95+ passer rating, playing under control, the running game flashes (ideally with Singletary), and the defense is solid. Less than that, there will be questions. As for Rosen, you can say all you want about how tough it is to play on bad teams, he didn't make enough of an impression to stick in Arizona. Coaching change, of course, doomed him. He's not making people rave about him now. He doesn't have a great body. I don't see a bright future for him, despite the fact that he will make some big plays and some beautiful plays. Frankly, I have the same feeling about Mayfield. I think you have to wait and see about them, and I think Allen is much more likely to be elite than either of them. Still, that doesn't mean anyone should take him lightly. The guy made plays all through college, and he's continued to make plays in the pros. He's no bust. 12 minutes ago, BuffaloBills1998 said: Highly doubt he does, no o line no running game no receivers, and a defense that couldn’t stop a nose bleed frankly he’s playing very well due to how bad the team is around him but he can’t win it all on his own And, if you believe Belichick, he'll be up against a defense he can't read pre-snap. It's a difficult game for him to succeed in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reader Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Can someone help me understand something about Rosen? Didn't both he and Mayfield have off behavior concerns prior to being drafted? It seems like since being drafted I haven't heard a peep from Rosen aside from draft night while Mayfield gets into it with media personalities sometimes. Yet despite that it seems if anything Rosen is judged more harshly. Am I totally off base about that? Was Rosen's behavior and attitude just considerably more abrasive?

stinky finger Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 16 hours ago, Real McCoy said: That hit on Hurns was Brutal. Rosen was laying Dimes with crazy drops as OP pointed out. If the Game slows down for Rosen by like 300-500ms look out, he actually looked good in this game. Give him a line and some better WR's and look out. I think the Dolphins should trade him. I don't want to see him if the FO goes Buffalo and gets the right people finally. It looks very similar to Allen his rookie year in many aspects with Allen with the Wr drops and crap Oline. I hope he stays put. I think having both Darnold and Rosen in division is added motivation for JA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Otreply Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 (edited) 6 hours ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: Indeed. QB talent is still thin in the league, and someone will take a shot with him. He does need to tame down the crazy throws, and I'm not sure Fitz is the mentor to help him there unless it's "do what I say, not what I do" Uncertain? It seems to me it was a factor in the Bills Glory Years that they could usually kind of slosh through the AFC E and their AFC opponents. When a sloppy game is good enough to win, there's less impetus to improve, right? That's the basis for the saying "Nothing Fails Like Success". Perhaps if we'd played in a tougher division, we would have put up a better game in the Show. I get your point, but you see, I am not that teams fan, I do not hope they do well. That is something for their fans to hope for. That and the same issue has not phased the patriots in any real way. Go Bills!!!
