Kirby Jackson

Beane is an easy A. He turned the entire roster in 2 years, may have found his QB and has $90m+ in cap space. He’s the most responsible IMO. McDermott is an A-/B+ from me. Culture is fantastic. Team is disciplined and prepared. Clock management and challenges still need work. Daboll is a B- from me. He’s not creative enough in the red zone for me. I also think Josh needs to run early in games to get into the flow. Frazier is an A-. He’s done a nice job with a really talented defense. My only gripe is that I’d like them to attack a touch more. Josh is a B-. He has shown flashes of what he can become. He needs to be more accurate and consistent. He’s taking the steps though. If he keeps on this trajectory he’s going to be a really good NFL QB.

My thinking is closer to Cleveland than Nashville. If I had to guess I’d say 25%ish. Nashville was legitimately 50/50.

I like Josh a lot and think he’s going to be a really good QB. He’s competitive as hell and I love that. The answer to the question though is Watson. He’s already great and has been an elite big game QB. The answer may change in a few years but today it isn’t a question.

I mean a team that hasn’t lost in 2 years won by a score despite controversial calls. They played a dead even game. OU was boat raced. No one shut me up. I thought that there were 3 good teams. 2 of them went toe to toe and the other had a bye. The other 2 good teams play next week. OU is trash (as is the entire Big 12). This is their last playoff berth for a while.

I knew I’d take some heat for this. I plan on going pretty hard Friday. Apparently I have about 30 on Saturday because I’ll be one of the only people with a car. I am probably just going to get a ton of alcohol and some snacks because I don’t feel like working the whole time. We talked about grilling or frying turkey but I would much rather focus on fun. At any rate, think that I’m going to bring cornhole and a positive attitude. Y’all are welcome to come by say hi and have a drink. We will be in a silver Infiniti QX50 and the cornhole set will have one Ohio State and one Nintendo Controller. I’ll probably be in either a blue Edmunds or white Tre White Jersey. Stop by and say hi except for you you @plenzmd1 I don’t have time for your negativity ?

Is it okay if I come and park early Saturday and then come back a few hours later? I’d like to set up at 8 but I don’t really want to be out there until 11 or so.

For me it’s about playmakers. I don’t care about RB or TE or WR or KR. The Bills need a few guys that can make big plays. Their offense doesn’t score a lot and it’s partly because they don’t hit home runs. I’m fine with it being any of those positions if once and a while those guys score from 50 yards out. That’s when the Bills take the next step. If they get 5 more TDs a year like that, they move from the bottom of the league in scoring to the middle. That’s a huge difference.

Yeah, I may be wrong but I’m adamant on this one. He just EXPLODES through the hole and in the open field. He only weighs 170 lbs. I just haven’t ever seen anyone like him. I may end up being wrong but I’m not changing my mind. The 1st time I saw him play my mind was made up.

Nope, I mean Pooka will be what Bush should have been. He’s Tyreke Hill as an RB. He’s going to be a star. I’m not taking about a solid NFL player. I’m talking about a guy that’s different.

Yes he absolutely was. Pooka is a star.

They would have beaten OU as badly as LSU did. OU was a bye week.

Sproles couldn’t tie his cleats. He’s Reggie Bush at USC and plays with trash.

I put it in the Chubba thread but wanted to break it out. I saw him as a freshman or sophomore and thought he was the best HS athlete that I had ever seen. In fact, I wrote that on here about 5 or 6 years ago. He’s not eligible this year but will be a fun player to track for those of you looking for a guy to watch in 2020. He will be a star IMO and I don’t care that he weighs 170 lbs. I’m on record that I will be banging the table for this guy to be on the Bills in 16 months. At any rate, enjoy some highlights from HS and his freshman year. Start salivating now!!

I don’t hate Chubba in the right spot. He’s a home run hitter IMO. The Bills don’t have enough home run hitters. We don’t make a lot of 40 yard+ plays. I think Yeldon has a chance to be that guy otherwise. The Bills need a big back too. I suspect that the Bills draft either the 3rd down speed back (JJ Taylor) or a bruiser (AJ Dillon). I’d probably use Yeldon as the speed back and then draft Pooka Williams in 2021. That’s my dream. Pooka would be one of my favorite picks ever for the Bills. He’s the best HS athlete I’ve ever seen by a lot. He’s what Reggie Bush could have been (but smaller). He will be an absolute star. The difference between a good back and a great back is a great back knows when he’s gone. This dude is different!!

I kind of looked at it as “most important plays”: It really is crazy to think but the Bills play of the decade is definitely Dalton to Boyd (and it really isn’t close). If we are talking a play that involves the Bills it may be the Stevie Johnson drop. That play started the entire “Bills Mafia” movement. That has changed the perception of the organization to the entire world. As weird as it sounds that day changed the future. Our fan base became the envy of the league over the next few years and a rallying cry for players everywhere. The Bills players are connected to the fans unlike in any other place. This really was the day that the rest of the world was exposed to our passion. It set the table for the culture that we have. In terms of positive plays Fred Jackson trucking Conte in Chicago jumps out, Sammy vs. Minnesota, EJ vs. Carolina, Charles Clay in Atlanta, Josh sneak in Dallas, Josh hurdle in Minnesota and the Kyle Williams TD. These all popped right into my head and I’m sure there are tons more but don’t want to keep listing.

I hate to say it but everyone likes our chances because of how bad their D is. If you add Watt and a healthy Joseph all of a sudden they aren’t the same team that struggled all year.

I was really hoping for another week or 2 for those guys.

My bad, I thought you said Daboll. Yes, the other 3 all went to JCU (with London Fletcher).

This kind of sucks.

Primarily referring to Preston and Za’Darius Smith who took them from out of the playoffs to a bye. They also start Turner and Amos who were signed this offseason. That’s just off the top of my head. That’s McDaniels. I think Roman was at U of R.

This is what happens when you hire Hugh Jackson and Freddie Kitchens. The Pats and Packers are largely built through FA. You can win a bunch of different ways. You can’t win without a coach.

I would think that they are zeroed in on Caserio. He’s leaving this year. My sister’s best friend is his sister-in-law so she spends a lot of time with them. He feels the Pats kind of screwed him last year. He will go. I don’t see a better option than going home with talent in place and your guy at HC. (Although this will be another DePodesta power struggle).

I’m not surprised to see Dorsey in jeopardy. He has done an okay job but you need to get the coach. You want him paired with his guy so that they are on the same page. I’d say Caserio and Daboll/McDaniels. They are from Cleveland (except Daboll but he was there) and they are on the same page.

Exactly how I feel. Roberts wasn’t brought here to have 100 catches. He was brought here to make a few big plays. He’s done a nice job so far. If he busts one Saturday it can be the difference in the game. If you want a guy to sit you can sit DiMarco or Perry. They basically play a handful of ST snaps without the ball.
