Big Turk Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) 2 minutes ago, ArdmoreRyno said: I wouldn't sleep on Skyler Thompson when he was 100%. I watched him play at Kansas State and the dude call ball. He was like Brock Purdy in the Big XII. Have you seen the numbers? We are facing a rookie QB who hasn't looked very good and is likely a fringe backup in this league. Let's stop trying to pretend he might be like Brock Purdy. He isn't...hasn't shown anything to suggest that in any of the games he has played so far. He has started 3 games and thrown 1 TD and 1 INT in it. Basically this game should be over by halftime if the offense plays remotely competent and doesn't turn the ball over.

And I don't care either because this isn't college and there is a big difference between playing in a conference where they don't play defense as a general rule and the NFL against one of the better defenses in the NFL. Especially with what the Bills do to rookie QBs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WotAGuy Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 McDaniel was pretty funny a couple times when talking about Mike Glennon and Sean McDermott.

Cray51 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Bills do not take teams lightly. McD has been consistent in getting this team ready week to week. Really comes down to Allen's turnover struggles. Can we keep the ball and get points on the board 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably expect Skylar to start with the possibility of Teddy being emergency QB or depending on the finger, come in if Skylar lays an egg.

Average we are 15th, but only 14 more yards than what the 7th place Chargers allow in a normal game. Can't help to think a lot of those yards came in garbage time(Browns especially).

somnus00 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I don't like over-confidence and neither do the football gods.

Low Positive Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 People talking about this like the only loss for the Fins is at QB. Look upthread. Their entire OL is not practicing and a bunch of those guys are not expected to play. Mostert is also most likely out.

Heck if any fans even know if he has his health currently. He may have some lingering symptoms that may not clear up anytime soon or ever even now. Big difference how his initial concussion was handled and he may be exhibiting permanent symptoms even at this relatively young age. Not likely we'd learn of any such issue unless he does retire and states a cause even in general terms of not wanting to rehab all the time.

stlbills13 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I'm sure the NFL wants Bills vs Bengals but the league has to hate that Lamar and Tua are out and essentially making two playoff games totally non competitive. I mean that's part of the price you pay when you expand the playoff field and add a 17th game but 3 of the 6 games this weekend may not be within 10 points and one is Daniel Jones vs Kirk Cousins. Not sure what they can do to prevent this but this is kind of an unappealing playoff weekend if you aren't a fan of one of the teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
