No.  Talent wise we’re pretty damn even. 

Bill's beat the Cowboys with ease, Jets handled them, so will you.

We're talking about the Bills not the Jets? The Browns game proves the point, and likely so will the next 4 games.

He's saying that the Jets beat them and the Bill's should.

There is nothing fans can say anymore that hasn't been said before.

We all live in a world where "fair play" is so old fashion that nothing shocks me.

 

As long as Americans allow everything in their lives to be subject to the whims of large money corporations..................

we just got to live with it.

 

That means your job, your health, your country and your sports.

Did anyone else hear Rodney Harrison say "one and done" when they were just showing the Bill's highlights??

Heard it. His knowledge of the game dwindles ever year he is removed from his playing days. 
As the Pats dynasty ends hopefully we will be subject to less of their old players on TV.

Gronk should not be on TV.

Harrison is not very intelligent, to put it nicely. I wouldn’t get to riled up about what comes out of his mouth.

At what point does some frustrated player just haul off on a referee?  I can’t even see what about that play could even be reasonably mistaken for a trip. Makes absolutely no sense. 

 

You bring up a good point.  The NFLPA has a chance to address their concerns in the next CBA.  I doubt they will.

Until the NFL officials (who are employees of the NFL) are held to the same standards as players, coaches and owners

nothing will change.

 

Flagrant errors in officiating should be "fined" like any other employee of the NFL.

For sure. I’m not riled up. He is the reason I don’t watch the Pre Game show for the Sunday Night game. Love Tony, but can’t listen to Rodney’s moronic takes. He was a dirty player when he played and he is still classless.

Peter King on UK TV suggesting that Carson Wentz might have the yips. That would explain why he seems completely reluctant to get the ball out of his hands. 

There is disunity in the Philadelphia locker room. Rumours of Agholor trolling Wentz on Twitter

I am not surprised. The receivers there are not great but they are being made to look worse by a QB who is holding the ball, throwing late and being consistently inaccurate outside of the numbers. I was one who thought Philly made the right decision moving Foles and committing to Wentz, but I have felt it for a number of weeks now..... they have a problem with him. He has regressed and I do wonder whether there is something there mentally holding him back.

Late to the party but welcome. I've said all year that Wentz is a scrub.

Trust me, their fans are.

 

As are their media people. And it's not just Wentz they're questioning. It's Pederson, too.

 

 

Yea I am not as high on Pederson as others but I do think the thing holding the Eagles back at the moment is Quarterback play above all else.

All their receivers are hurt.  He does not look great, but he has no one but Ertz to throw to and he is triple teamed.

The receivers are part of it, but most of it is on Wentz.

 

We've had this conversation before about Mahomes etc and now you're extending it to other QB. 

 

A little more time to throw, and receivers who are on the same page with the QB for how they run the routes and who are able to adjust on the ball make a huge difference to how a QB looks.  Ironically the QB for whom historically it's been least true has been Brady because their coaching and system are so engrained that even the backups are "in the book"

And even he says it takes him "a month" to get in sync with a new WR.

 

I'm not saying Wentz wasn't over-hyped after his 2nd year, but Wentz would look very different right now with top WR.   Even Mahomes put up less passing yards throwing to Mecole Hardman instead of Tyreek Hill given a team that can cover Kelce.

So Wentz's guys have had issues with drops, but I am excluding those plays from the evaluation. He is holding the ball too long when there are open guys and his throws are scattergun. I think there is a real chance that by the end of next season, without major improvement, the Eagles are wondering whether they need to look again at the position. What I will say in his defense is I think a lot of the problem is mental for him. That's why I found the Peter King "yips" suggestion interesting. I could certainly see that.

"The Gase haters and the Darnold jokers are awfully quiet this morning. The @nyjets season was summed up on one play. 4th & 2. Raiders give it to their fullback and Gregg Williams' D stuffs him. That was the Jets to the army of critics swarming the first two months." - @PSchrags

 

 

 

They beat the Raiders and suddenly what?   LOL.

I mean they absolutely whooped the Raiders and unfortunately Darnold has been trending up.

The Jets were a wild card contender before Mono came into play. They are a top 15-20 team currently and will be a tough win for Buffalo in Dec.

I don’t see one win to pen..or pencil...in for the rest of the season. The Bills could finish 11-5 or 8-8. It’s a grind from here on out.
