The beauty of having a Tyrod offense is that it doesn't matter who is lining up at the skill positions. Everything is dependent in any case on whether tyrod breaks a long run or finds someone deep on a scramble. That said they should just invest in the D and count on tyrod to come up with 20 points somehow.
We are in like year two after a $160M restoration. It's that enough to get everyone off our backs about a stadium. I would introduce a $300M restoration in 8 years to buy another 10 years. Don't need a new stadium with amenities no one in WNY can afford anyway. No one is telling KC or Green Bay to build a new stadium. Refurbs are the way to go and that way we play outside indefinitely.
WR. The main reason is that Sammy while a legit #1 is not injury resistant enough to be franchised and signed beyond his first contract. A WR at 10 if selected well should assure the team has a veteran #1 as it auditions QBs over the next 3-4 years.
God help us. Did you see that game where Siemian tried to throw a Hail Mary from the opponent's 40 and he could not even get it to the 10. I'm okay with a bridge QB but not a noodle armed bridge at the Ralph where you need to be a bomber to even be able to think about minor successes.
OMG he was commenting on going against Belichick and somehow managed to work in a story about the time he beat Belichick in the playoffs. Its always about him even when he is hired to talk about someone else.
Whaley's copying of the Julio trade up did not make any sense. Not because Watkins is not a great player when healthy. Watkins is great but does not have the size to ascend to the game changing physical force level of a Julio or Calvin Johnson. Only a great receiver who can also be a physically dominant force is worth that kind of value.
When you have a franchise QB you never trade him unless you happen to have a second one on the roster. With a franchise QB you are potentially only two years from the Superbowl no matter how bad you suck now, see Matty Ice.
Tyrod had one of his best games as a pro against the Seahawks and we pushed the ball down the field all game long. But that game really showed the difference between winners and losers. Gruden highlighted that the Seahawks' mantra was defending every inch of turf, continuing to battle even though you were being out-schemed on that particular day. In spite of yielding yards all game long it seemed inevitable that the Seahawks would make the big play on D at the end and they did.
With ratings plummeting and the league desperate for feel good stories we may be seeing a lot more looking the other way in upcoming years. You want another example? Remember Peyton Manning's awkward excuse for juicing was that it was his wife and not him that actually took the drugs? Seems like many parties conspired to miraculously restore his pristine league legend and cash cow stature. Expect Brady to break the 40 barrier like no one else since Barry Bonds.
On the one hand its amazing how many people on this board give Whaley a free pass in view of all of the "unexpected" injuries when all he does is sign older and/or injury prone players. On the other hand Harvin was incredibly productive early last year - on pace for a 1000 yard season - before the injury.
Have to agree if the season ended today. To be on the brink of a 5 game winning streak with all the street free agent types on the field was miraculous and only explainable by good coaching and scheme.
