  1. Of the Jets I fear. Daboll their HC. Fields or more likely Wilson the player to be developed.
  2. His next contract wont be as good as his current one IMO. I think he will be more in prove it mode. He is not as good as JB so he was probably overpaid.
  3. Coach said their interest had nothing to do with injuries and Beane has had interest for some time. He runs a 4.38 40 and Brown is expensive with paydays coming. Dont misunderstand me. JB is one of my favourite players.
  4. I kinda think thats the road they will be taking. Time will tell.
  5. Seattle retooled their D. Had zero pass rush. Wanted more pressure from DT position. Thats why Dunlap instead of Snacks.
  6. My personal fav from Gangreen; ‘’I think I’m starting to poop myself”.
  7. Josh’s long ball is noticeably improving. So Brown helps to add a not insignificant dimension to the offence, good as it is.
  8. I would go with the starters to keep them sharp but would be quick to replace them with backups. Avoid injury to your big guns and give the backups a good number of reps heading into the playoffs. At least rest the starters who are banged up. I’m worried about Williams. He’s a core player and deep groin injuries (if thats what it is), can be a bi#ch. I honestly don’t care much about the W. I know we are much better. I doubt the Bills see things the same way tho.
  9. Allen has grown as a football player. I have no doubt that he will grow as a nationally marketable personality even if he’s never at Peyton’s level. Lets just hope he doesn’t outgrow his small market home. And hopefully he will steer clear of full length fold out underwear commercials. Thats the real reason RG3’s career hit the skids IMO. And lets not forget Cole Beasley while we are at it. Give that man a hair deal!
  10. A year from now Mahomes will be as good as he is now. A year from now Allen should be better than he is now. Allen may well eventually overtake Mahomes. The difference maker may wind up being Allen's superior athleticism.
  11. Broncos marching down the field and they don't even have the ball.
  12. I think he said "and I'll be back again", meaning in the end zone.
  13. I'm born & bred in Montreal but worked in Toronto for 15 years. Started following the Bills back then (Bledsoe era). Lots of Bills fans in southern Ontario obviously. Now I spend my winters on the West Coast (Victoria, Vancouver Island) and otherwise in Montreal/ Eastern Townships of Quebec. French speaking Quebecers are good NFL fans but mostly G-Men. On the West Coast it's all Seahawks. Go Bills!
  14. Havent seen enuf of him. First impressions are maybe starting caliber but not truly franchise. Accuracy is good, arm strength leaves me unimpressed so far. Just average. We shall see. JMO but Herbert was probably the guy. Clone of Josh.
  15. Unless they clean house totally before the draft he’d be wise to pull an Elway-Manning. If they bring in a good group to replace whats there in the way of coaches he should be fine there. They have some good pieces and he would get a lot of credit for bringing them back maybe three years down the road. Besides, I really like the idea of Belichek having to face ten years of Allen, Lawrence and Tua.
  16. For sure its not a good look but Hunt claims that's not the person he is and he regrets his behaviour. Maybe his assertions deserve some credibility if he's not been any kind of habitual offender. If every GM felt the way some posters do he would never play football again and be deprived of the livelihood he's doubtless worked very hard to achieve. Based on that one incident I would find that a little harsh. Radical even. And I'm a friggen libtard lol.
  17. Looks to me like Sweeney is a better TE than Knox. He seems to have better hands. Unless you have good hands you simply can't play that position in the NFL. Unless you are just another down lineman that is. And Knox seems unable to do that. He's absolutely no match for defensive linemen. They just shunt him aside. Im happy to see if he can improve and hope he can but I'm not sure that you can learn to catch a football at this level of play.
  18. I would take Hunt in a heartbeat. Of course with his extension he's now off the market. I can believe that Beane tried to sign him. I think he knows that the RB position needs improvement/an upgrade. I'm glad we lost out on the Bell sweepstakes though. The long layoff has robbed him of his burst that was the necessary adjunct to his patience as a runner.
  19. I think everyone agrees Lamar has not developed as a passer. As I said earlier he showed promise running Pertino's offence at Louisville, which is a complex playbook with NFL concepts. There is plenty of college tape showing Lamar executing efficiently from the pocket. Just idle speculation but I wonder whether the Ravens braintrust concluded that he in fact couldn't be successfully be developed as a more conventional pro QB or they just decided to go for broke with his existing unique skillset and hope for the best. If the former then maybe his draft spot was about right though at the time I felt he was undervalued and a real bargain. If the latter then I don't think the Ravens have done him any favours because it's too late now. That train has left the station. He will never be different or better than he is now, what you see is what you get, and in crunch time that is unlikely to be good enuf IMO. Scheme to take away the run and the middle of the field and Ravens are probably toast. Good Ds and good DCs can do that. The Bills can do that.
  20. Roman can scheme for the run game like nobody's business but it looks to me like Lamar is not appreciably better as a passer than he was at Louisville. I liked him a lot coming out because I thought he showed promise as a passer and we all knew the kind of runner he was. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't see much if any progression. -He's at best a tier 2 passer. If I'm right, at the end of the day that's just not good enuf to win a championship. Having a good running game is important but that should be the RBs job. The QBs job is to throw the football. It's a passing league. I expect the Ravens to implode in the playoffs once again. Just too easy to contain when the going gets tough.
