How did Gronk go from making the 53 man roster AND being active Week 1, to being cut and not even signed to the practice squad?

I wouldn't touch Saban with a ten foot poll. He is so set in his ways dealing with college KIDS, that I think he would be out of touch dealing with established vets after so many years at Alabama. Not to mention his age. I'll pass, and I think so would he. He has the world by the balls at Alabama. Boosters lapping up his every word, recruits tripping over each other to sign there, perennial powerhouse, etc... He'd be nuts to even give it 5 seconds of consideration.

Where was all the angst over TT in the offseason, or is this doom and gloom all over ONE bad game?

Not sure how reliable, but Maria Genero(WGRZ) is very easy on the eyes for a woman in her 40's/early 50's(Im guessing at her age).

300 yard passing games has a direct correlation to how many passes you throw in a game. TT's YPA was better in 2015 than Brees, Newton, Eli, Brady and many other above average NFL QB's. Does that mean all they do is checkdown? You beat me to the punch.

...in week 1, or each and every week? Sure didn't seem that way in many games last year?

I'm just pointing out how easy it is with slo-mo and an aerial view to say "look at this video and see how open this guy is"? Yes he sucked. Did you see my disclaimer at the top of my post? Having access to "I want to be a coach" film website, makes everyone a player evaluation expert.

DIsclaimer...TT needs to play a LOT better. In hindsight it is easy to see an open WR from an aerial view of NFL Films. You think it is that easy on the field standing behind huge OL, with equally big DL breathing down your neck, with a split second to make a decision? I bet if you look at film for every team and every play, even the best QB's don't always find the open WR.

Yes!!! Great idea. I'm sure the current RB coach is to much of an idiot to coach his positional players in this regard.

I don't have specifics nor the time to search through thousands of posts, but you don't think anyone has suggested ground and pound over the last few years due to average to below average QB play?

The Bills are so far behind the eight ball in this regard it isn't even funny. Yet, there are always posters who insist we need to be a run first, ground and pound offense. TT is getting paid the big bucks now, if he is not capable of throwing the ball 30+ times a game, then it was a mistake to sign him.

I think over the course of a season an average of 15 targets a game is not going to happen...even on a team that throws a lot. That being said, there is no reason why they shouldn't be throwing in his direction 10-12 times a game.

I thought being "fully pregnant" was going to be the key for this season.

So after not playing almost the entire preaseason, why trot him out for week 1 if the foot is screwed up?

What's worse...our star receiver being ignored by our QB, or the fact that he can't stay healthy?

^^^ This.

Excellent!!! The Whaley/Rex/Brnadon/Pegula end of season excuse list is growing and we are only through week 1... Dareus Lawson Ragland Henderson Watkins blah blah blah

No. I posted it just to annoy you.

It seems like every WR is now a sr, jr, II, III, IV or the V. I can't think of the player on Sunday who had a "V" on his jersey. I guess the only part that is really annoying, is the announcers constantly referring to them by their new found suffix. Do I really need to know that is is Steve Smith "SR", every time he has to be mentioned. Unless there is a Steve Smith Jr, III, IV etc..., why the need to even use the suffix.

Missing both starting OT's, their best receiving option(Gronk), a no name QB with ZERO starts, playing on the road against one of the SB favorites coming out of the NFC... and they still win.

The Pegula's just named him President of the Sabres in addition to the Bills. He is going nowhere.

At the risk of repeating myself...Brandon is here for as long as he wants the job. No sense in bringing up his future with the team. Whaley and the coaches though are another story.

Just my 2 cents...I don't think they compete for the division at all. It is a two team battle between the Bengals and Steelers.

I don't like Brandon. I think he is a marketing/public relations con man who has worked himself all the way to the top. That being said, he is president of Pegulas two sports empires. We're stuck with him for as long as he wants the job.
