  1. I will admit that I thought he was a joke when he was drafted. He looked 12 years old. No way did I think he was going to be the next superstar QB.
  2. Or, one might ask, what is Terrelle Pryor trying to accomplish with this?
  3. Pats score on opening drive, then Bills D keeps it close through halftime. Pats "make adjustments", then hang 35 unanswered points on the Bills in the second half, during a torrential dildostorm.
  4. No. Instead of building on last year's momentum, they have continued to tear the team down to the point where they can't possibly fill all the voids. Draft picks are always a crap shoot, trades bring in flawed players, and quality free agents don't sign on with dead-end franchises. Where is the talent going to come from? Even if they draft very well, who is going to mentor the young players to become winners? The only hope is if Josh Allen develops into the next Aaron Rodgers. Which is not looking likely.
  5. Meanwhile, we still stink and the Chiefs are the second coming of the '99 Rams.
  6. There are very few pieces in place to build on, and if the plan is to add to the talent pool through free agency, they are in big trouble. Why would any talented free agent want to come into this situation?
  7. Win, lose, or draw, this will be a terrible football game to watch.
  8. Let's just not all pretend this is great news. It's a sad state of affairs when Derek Anderson is your starting QB in 2018.
  9. While Star's primary role is to tie up lineman for others to make plays, one would think there would be an occasion to tackle a running back once in a while.
  10. This is some of the funniest stuff I’ve seen in this room in a while. Somewhat lost in all this is that the leap was good for an extra seven yards. That’s 21 feet of forward progress! I couldn’t jump that far in skis.
  11. Bodine at Center and Groy at RG is probably the best they can do with what's available. Might as well give it a shot and see how it goes, because it can't get much worse.
  12. 53.6 yard punt average
  13. While he's not proving to be worthy of his high draft position, I think he's a certainly good enough player to keep in the rotation. They can't all be pro-bowlers. And who knows, he has the natural talent to become a really good player if it clicks for him.
  14. This front office is brutal. You have an 8-month off-season to get your house in order for opening day. You get to pick a hundred players and select the best 53. And here we are, just two weeks into the season, and they are already scrambling to find talent.
  15. Bengals fans were dancing in the streets when this guy shipped off for Buffalo. I would not expect any improvement whatsoever.
  16. I love how everybody talks smack about the former Bills, as if they were all bad eggs and addition-by-subtraction moves by the GM - when all this team has done is suck so much more in their absence. Preston Brown had a lot of good games for the Bills, and he's probably right. Something ain't right when a veteran player retires in the middle of a game, the same game in which his defensive coordinator is basically benched by the head coach. Almost every player who was once a starter here and got dropped by Beane is an upgrade at his position over what we have now.
  17. I'm surprised you don't see more players doing it. Imagine for a moment you're a 10-year vet with a beat up body, you're on a team that clearly is headed for a losing season, and you have millions of dollars in the bank. There are hundreds of pro athletes in that exact situation; considering the injury risk in the NFL now, I'm surprised anyone plays more than a couple years beyond their rookie contract anymore. That being said, I would expect players to retire early in the off-season rather than mid-game...
  18. I watched the "every throw Josh Allen made" video, and it was not pretty at all. He got lucky on the long Zay Jones throw, and a lot of his yards came on screen passes, one big one coming in garbage time. The rest of it looked really rough: - Every throw was a laser beam, which is not always called for - Placement did not allow for run after the catch; did not hit guys in stride really at all - Even worse, placement often put receiver in the path of a Safety running full speed into his chest - Several balls that he was lucky were not picked off, including the aforementioned bomb to ZJ. I still believe he has it in him to be good to great, but I think the critics were right - this young fella is RAW.
  19. He is inactive today, so I am not with you. All apologies.
  20. The guy hasn't played anywhere close to a full season in five years, during which time he repeatedly fell on and off the wagon. That's FIVE YEARS to prove he's worth hanging onto, and when he finally gets back on the field, he screws it all up immediately. Seven years in the league, with one great season, one good season, and five eggs laid. What's left to learn about this guy? Why in God's name would you think he's worth trading for?
  21. This piece is not what made Cowherd a scumbag. And I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Peterman is the only guy left on the bench when Allen finally gets carted off the field behind this awful O line. I doubt we have seen the last of NP , so rather than bag on him, maybe we should just shut up and hope he works it out.
