Fitz is also one of the smartest QB's ever to play the game. Good to see the WTF's picked him up after he got boned with no lube in Miami. GO FITZ!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffBillsForLife Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Fitz represents the best of the sport of football, a guy who's just having fun out there like the ol' Gunslinger did (although he sadly lacks his arm strength). Always glad to see him play another year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Bruce, I believe it’s in Buffalo. The AFC is the home team in the 17th game, but you’re right in 2023 we play them in Washington for our normal 4 year rotation. That’s my understanding when they announced the proposed 17th game. I think it still has to be ratified by the owners and PA, but I believe that’s a formality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singlezero Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 its been 40 years since the washington dallas rivalry has had much relevance. it used to be one of the marquee matchups of the year.

jwhit34 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Fitz is #30 all time passing yards. If he starts the whole year he can get to #23: Fitzpatrick 34,977 Cutler 35,133 Kelly 35,467 A. Smith 35,650 Hasselbeck 36,638 McNabb 37,276 Esiason 37,920 Krieg 38,147 Next two are Unitas and Montana. Way different eras but still amazing he's that high on the list.

HalftimeAdjustment Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 So does this mean that WFT is planning to draft their next franchise QB? Will they then start said QB by week 6 despite Fitz'play, only to see the rookie hurt by week 10? This is the new Fitz cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills are going to have to pay Allen a fortune! Fitz is aging like a fine wine. He is getting better. If Miami didn’t bench him, they make the playoffs. Obviously he still has his physical limitations but guy has putting up numbers and that Miami offense wasn’t really that talented. man, I love Fitz. So happy for him. It’s nice to see a guy from Harvard make something of himself. If Washington is smart, they will try to draft a qb to learn from Fitz but don’t play him until they are eliminated from playoff contention.

OrtonHearsaWho Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Love it. 9 Teams (so far) and dude will finish with more career yards than Steve Young, Troy Aikman and maybe even Jim Kelly.

IMO...Fitz has noticeably improved his throwing technique, not just from his feet, but the same "rotational throwing" thing that Allen worked on this off season. It wouldn't surprise me if he did that same whole-body map that Allen did last off season and has been working on it the last couple years. He also IMO has looked fitter and less paunchy. Of course "better living through chemistry" could also be involved 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
