Bleeding Bills Blue

I mean Eli has been around, hes won a couple super bowls... i dont think he'd come here tho. He's probably done. Flacco maybe? He seems to have lost that QB clock in the last couple of years. Just can't get out of his own way.

Burrow looks gooood this year. Not sure what changed. I don't think he'll go 1, but if those 2 teams finish 1/2 he'll go 2. Seeing LJ and Murray do fine in the NFL makes me think Hurts could end up going earlier than originally thought. 36 total TDs already, he's a major dual threat issue. Lawrence probably sticks for another year - too much talent coming out and the 8 picks isn't exactly a great number to look at. At the same time, he shredded bama in the title game a year ago.. thats pretty impressive.

I suppose - i just included them anyway. There's no upside to either starting at this point, you're just signing them for their brain.

Yeah - we can cut him for a total cap hit of 200K though. I'd agree on those 2, and throw mariota in there. I don't think he's good but i do think he's a capable backup at this point. I also think drafting a QB is smart. Look at accurate guys who may need some seasoning. What about Burrow?

It's the draft - its a crap shoot. Jones had better combine numbers and college production - and was a senior. McD was at the senior bowl and spent a lot of time with those guys so i think he trusted his gut a bit more there. I think Kupp should be considered the miss there... he was at the senior bowl and we still went with zay. Yeah - hard to say now... can't force it. Thats how you end up with john ross and corey coleman. Can the guy get open? Can he catch? Does he have some moves? Cool. I don't really care how fast his 40 and shuttle times are tbh.

He runs a fair amount - and on a day like this past sunday most QBs are not going to have 300 yards passing. It was windy and rainy, you have to run the ball and complete short stuff to keep the sticks moving.

You don't want it to become a blake bortles situation and ruin what might otherwise be a very good team. Next season i expect to both draft someone, and bring in someone better than barkley to push allen. These guys should all be available: Bridgewater, Flacco, Winston, Mariota, Eli Manning, Keenum, Tannehill Obviously Tennessee, Miami, Cinn, TB, Denver, and to a lesser extent Chicago, and Pitt will be looking for QBs. Miami and Cinn are probably already drafting guys in the top 2 picks, and you also have to look at teams looking to improve their backups - but we should be in the mix there. As for drafting? Get me an accurate guy anywhere in this draft, maybe in rounds 2-5. It's Allens team, until it isnt.

They have had suuuuch a bad Oline for so long. They've spent 1sts in the last what, 2 drafts? 1 isn't playing to potential and 1 got hurt immediately. They traded for glenn who's constantly hurt. Just can't fix that unit no matter how much they try.

Yeah - what are the numbers for % of wins with QBs over 300 yards? Im pretty sure its about the same as the % of wins with QBs under 300 yards. Whatever happened in the 4th quarter was just a disaster in general. Starting off a garbage time drive with 2 false starts in your own house was the icing on the cake It really came down to that drive in the 4th quarter. We got whooped on a 14 play drive for 83 yards that put the game out of reach both clock-wise and score-wise. That's not ideal.

The Shaq lawson sack was basically all star as well. The LBs struggled to shed blocks all day in the screen game and run game. They barely attacked us in the air.

And when you look at what was accomplished in the pass game? Screens did most of the damage, and they caught us in man coverage on the bigger screen plays.

I mean it's all click-bait too. We want them to trade for X, but just because someone said he's available doesn't mean he is.

Ah - i thought we were looking at him instead of marrone.

Sacks are high, which happens with rookies. Teams blitz them or fake blitz them pretty much the whole game til they show they can beat it.

Didn't we almost get that guy to be head coach back in the day?

Yeah... He's not available. The one that was we looked into... And he kind of went insane

That's what I mean... Is Edelman a 1? Or kupp? What about Godwin or juju? Keenan Allen? Tyler lockett?

What is a true #1 WR?

I say no for a few reasons 1 - Him and the GM are a package deal 2 - Year 1 was a full tear down, year 2 was somewhat building it back up... but the cap is in a much better situation so you don't lose players for nothing and can start getting comp picks again 3 - I'm sick of the hire and fire every 3-5 years or whatever. I'm not saying extend him and marvin lewis this guy for 25 years... but they're seemingly better than they have been in the last like 25 years. If they can consistently be that? I wouldn't break it up right away Then you have to consider that NFL teams are hiring guys like Kingsbury, Taylor, and Gase. I suppose if you had like, some candidate in mind sure? But its usually retreads and mcvays friends which means you aren't likely upgrading. You're just getting an "offensive minded" guy, who is probably in over his head.

They had the big run, but mostly it was linemen tackling downfield because they had blocked our linebackers. There were several big negative runs too, that's how noticable the struggles were on like every other play

It was pouring rain and windy... Not exactly good conditions for throwing. This was a trenches game and we got beat on both sides, simple as that.

On a day when it's windy and rainy... I can't expect a young QB to execute and carry the team. Gotta run the ball well. They did, we didn't.

What is this Madden?!

sometimes its as simple as turning a guy into your gap so the hole isn't really there... its that kind of thing that will never show up on stat sheets. Or working into a double team that creates a tougher blitz pick-up for a guard or something. Its all complementary. I have no idea if he's doing it well because i don't want to sit down and watch running plays from the POV of the guy lining up between the center and guard.

I mean - at least he pointed to the things Allen does wrong. He didn't just say "he's inaccurate", he legit said he's made quite a few poor decisions this year which is true. He's showed improved decision making a bit more the last couple of weeks - they really need to focus on getting TDs this week to make mainstream media recognize them.
