Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe her text implies she doesn't have inside info at all. How do I deduce this? "I may not have all the facts"...

2021 7th is almost worthless. Beane stole from the Brownies again.

This is all you’ve got?

I think that of all the first round QBs who were drafted last year the Bills wound up with the one who is the best fit for them and vice-versa. That's all you can hope for. Go get 'em, Josh.

I have a feeling this game will be the ugliest of ugly. Tyree Jackson isn't ready for an NFL football field and he'll be playing the entire game. I hope no one is killed. In other words...of course I'll be watching.

I'm booing this original post loudly.

Some fans apparently want QBs to be dumb jocks who can’t put two sentences together.

This entire post is so wrong I don’t know where to begin. So I’ll just boo. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO........

May we please have separate threads so we may post our opinions with respect to each gameday opinion thread?

I call this "Scott's Faulty Corollary of Preparedness to Lopsided Loss."

Yes, but the QBs don't face each other, they face the opponent's defense. Anyway, I'm not trying to prove my point to you or any Jests fan. I think the matchups favor Buffalo.

I'm impressed by Rodgers' ability to speak on a wide variety of subjects and not come across like a neanderthal football player. That said, I completely agree with his assessment of fans who booed Luck.

And that's really my point. Where do they think they have an edge and why (besides home field)?

As I posted in this thread earlier this morning, the more days pass the more this game looks tilted in Buffalo's favor (to me). That's not me taking the Jests for granted -- I'm sure they will play hard -- but me looking at the specific position groups and coaching and arriving at a conclusion that the Bills should win or push most of those matchups. For example, last year I would have given the Jests DL a big edge over the Bills OL, but the Bills have replaced 4/5 of the line with proven veterans (and Cody). Now that looks much more even. Similarly, I would have given the Jests an edge in ST but the Bills went out and swiped their best STer. I don't believe in Adam Gase as a leader. I think for that team to succeed over the long term they will need immediate success, because Gase is not the guy who will keep them together if it goes south. Greggggg is still looking for his next HC gig -- do you think he'll support Gase if things aren't going swimmingly? Then I look at Buffalo's relative "harmony" across the board; a stable coaching staff with a few noted changes (OL, ST), the same schemes, and an established culture that appears to finally be matched with a good bit of talent. I think the Jests will probably get a few good punches in, but the Bills have a strong jaw and will eventually get the KO.

I think you were looking for this thread. Your kids would have found it.

In a PPR league I'd take Beasley...non-PPR Brown is the better bet. Beasley will get the volume; I'm thinking an 80+ catch season, which is 5 per game.

Cole Beasley will be my final round pick in every league I'm in this year.

Could but won't. I don't think people understand just how difficult learning to play in the NFL from scratch is. I would be shocked if an NFL team puts Wade on their active roster.

Nope, nope, and nope. Wade may develop into a serviceable NFL RB but at this point in his career he'd be a liability on any 53 man roster. He is destined for Buffalo's PS and we can hope he develops there.

The biggest takeaway anyone should get from "cutdown day" is that the 53 who "make it" are not necessarily the 53 the team suits up on opening day. Cuts from one roster may be better fits on another team, necessitating additional moves. So, the "last few in" on any given team still have to sweat it out for a couple of days.

Only three or four.

If anything, I continue to feel more confident about that game as the days pass. Jets' first team OL hasn't even played together and Kalil admitted to being "rusty" in the mental aspect of the game -- the very thing he was brought in for. Bell hasn't played in a football game in 20 months. Their CBs -- which need to be a strength in a Gregggggg Williams defense -- are lackluster. Q Williams isn't even starting. They lost two LBs and their starting TE is suspended. Against the Bills' established, technically sound defense I simply don't see the Jets putting up a lot of points, and I think it's realistic to expect the Bills' DL to dominate the Jets OL. If Josh can pick up the blitzes and hit the hot read this could be a laugher.

Nice to hear a guy talk about how well McD game plans and "figures out" offenses on a week to week basis. With Edmunds coming into his own in the middle of the D and an addition like Oliver on the line, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect them to be a top 5 unit and dramatically improve their points against and red zone performance.

He's a special teams fixture which makes him, effectively, a starter. It will be interesting to see if Daboll uses any new formations to get him on the field on O this season.
