PFF is aptly named because it's the sound I make with my mouth whenever they're brought up. Justin Jefferson is an awesome rookie, maybe even OROTY, but his impact has largely been in 2 huge games. In 5 out of 8 games he has 3 receptions or fewer. Diggs' impact is twice as big at least. Also, some people talk as if we traded away Jefferson for Diggs. Unless you can see into the parallel universe where we specifically take Jefferson with that pick, we traded the pick.

Stevie Johnson used to avoid contact contextually - dipping out of bounds instead of struggling for another couple yards was a signature and it was part of the reason he had 3 consecutive 1,000 yard seasons while playing 48 out of 48 games. I'm all for it. The valor of fighting for a meaningless yard isn't worth missed games.

Worth noting that he made another really big play that almost nobody saw because of the power outage during the Dolphins game. You get the sense that Daboll will always have a gadget player so in the spirit of continuity I don't see why it can't be McKenzie for another 1 or 2 seasons.

Agreed. I think financial incentives would be great. Two third-round draft picks is such a concrete and discretely valued commodity that the NFL is practically inviting immoral usage of the rule. For example what division rival would EVER hire a minority coach from within the division?

Wowzer. When I first saw this headline I was prepared to defend it to the teeth, being someone who feels passionately about racial inequality and who thinks that there is inevitable bias in coaching hires when ownership is 100% white. The thing is, attaching DRAFT STRATEGY to this concept is the single best way to muck it up.

I dreamt last night that there were further setbacks with COVID in our tight end room so the Bills signed Robert Royal to fill the gap, who went on to beat the Cardinals with 200 yards and 5 TDs. In other words, this one's in the bag.

This is the key point where I disagree with you. It's a fickle and always-changing league. You really don't know if you're going to get another opportunity if you turn down the first one.

Absolutely. Only 32 of those jobs in the whole wide world and who knows if you'll ever get tapped again. Even if it's the Jets or the Jags you take the job.

This is pathetic.

Wow, terrible awareness by Meyers there.

Didn't this MetLife turf tear like 4 ACLs the first two weeks of the season? What the hell is up with it?

0 sacks and 0 turnovers in this game. Who'd have thought.

"Nothing cute about Rex Burkhead."

I always get a kick out of how everything is wild west imagery for a team from the snowy north. It's like the Utah Jazz or LA Lakers.

Flacco to Darnold: "Think I can throw the ball over them there mountains?"

Was the Jets GM sleeping??

I was pleasantly surprised when Klein's hit on Wilson wasn't flagged. Not that it should have been but it seems like crunching the QB that hard draws the penalty even when it's perfectly legal.

I never understand when people say this kind of thing. Obviously GMs tank with roster decisions sometimes but do you honestly think coaches go to their players and say "Ok guys, we're losing this one on purpose. We gotta make it look good, so go score a touchdown but then James we're going to need you to fumble ok?"

In a way he got us McDermott because the Pegulas clearly went on a mission to find the highest character coach rather than the next splash hire.

Rex bringing IK in just to screw with the Jets was a low point for the Bills.

Daboll's obviously awesome but this is ridiculous. How could it ever look like a "foolish decision" to keep your winning HC instead of firing him and promoting the OC? Even if it were possible that would destroy the locker room irrevocably.

Every Jets player has to stop themselves from punching Gase in the jaw probably 5 times a week.

He's got something of an awkward top heavy build even for someone that size. Walking joint damage.

Credit to any Jets player who gives maximum effort. Being on that team must be such a depressing numb experience. I remember that Dolphins team that almost went winless but acted like they won the Superbowl when Cleo Lemon delivered a win and I was impressed by the fire. This Jets team is about as fun as dialysis.

Flacco with a worst pass of the year candidate.
