  1. The issue with the Jets is Aaron Rodgers. He is toxic. They now face a fight to keep Garret Wilson with the team because of Rodgers' behaviour. They had a group of talented younger guys who totally bought into their Head Coach, for good or bad, and wanted leadership and guidance from a vet QB. Instead they brought in an ego centric arsehole who is only interested in undermining every one around him to prop himself up. Even last night when he missed Yeboah on one of those early drives he is doing all the hand signals to make it clear for the cameras "that's not on me, these guys run the wrong routes." I'm not a bit pro wrestling guy but remember when Vince brought back the nWo and the story was he was intentionally injecting poison into his own company? Well that ridiculous pre wrestling storyline is literally what the Jets did two years ago trading for Rodgers. Here are the positives going forward. The Jets have: Sauce Gardner Quinen Williams Will McDonald Jermaine Johnson (if he can come back healthy) Alijah Vera Tucker Garret Wilson (if they can persuade him to stay) Ola Fashanu (that kid is a hit) That is still one of the better collections of age 27 and under talent in the entire league. If they can get the toxic posion out in the shape of #8, get the right GM and Head Coach there is talent there to start from. But the entire culture needs remaking because of the damage Aaron Rodgers has done. Any team considering bringing him in for 2025 (he still wants to play and prove he isn't the problem) be warned. He is a franchise wrecker.
  2. This was a great call. It is exactly what happened. Sure the Bills played excellent games to beat KC and Detroit, and they lost the two early toughies at Baltimore and Houston but the rest of the schedule just played out better than some expected. The rest of the AFCE sucking balls helped. A cold as ice take from halftime of week 1.
  3. No. It was easily his worst game since Houston. Two of the Jets bigger runs in the first half were him taking completely the wrong angle. He was late to his spot multiple times in coverage (that is theme at the moment he is just not anticipating and reacting quickly enough) and the Conklin touchdown was on him. I will be interested im how the graders see it and obviously I haven't watched the all22 but he was comfortably the Bills worst starter yesterday to my eye.
  4. All four of our marquee games next year are at home: KC, Baltimore, Cincy and Philadelphia. The Bills do not lose many regular season home games. Best home record in the NFL since 2021 I believe. Running the table on those 4 might be tricky but could easily see us go 3-1 or worst 2-2. One of the easiest road slates you will see. With the usual caveat of Josh staying healthy that should be a look at the #1 seed. I doubt it. Other than Jax I don't think a team has given up 2 homes in 3 seasons specially since they went to the 9/8 split where it meant losing the advantage of the extra home game twice in a row. We know the NFL likes to make the Bills an "experiment" but I doubt by that much.
  5. Yea I agree. I don't think any realistic chance he is fired this year. From everything I was told previously the relationship with Terry is solid and to hear him talk about Sean in the 10 years of ownership video it's almost a father - son type deal. And I don't think Terry lets Beane and McDermott embark on their re-set last February / March without an acknowledgment that it might affect their championship chances in 2024. However, a third home playoff loss, and worse, one in the wildcard round to a team the Bills are clearly better than would I think heat the seat up signifcantly going into 2025 and then I think they might be in its "now or never" type territory. Losing a heartbreaker to Baltimore or Kansas City doesn't get them there, IMO. Losing at home to Denver or Miami would.
  6. I wondered that too but I think they would say Tyrod never re-established as a passer. The early one on Brown? I don't think it was a TD. Coleman was out at like the 2. But it was a bad holding call. Brown blocked really well. Not sure what the official thought he saw.
  7. But we can't play them before the AFCCG as the 1 and 2 seeds.
  8. The award is based on 50 voters. To be co-MVP it would have to be 25-25.
  9. As muchh as Indy were my ideal Bills opponent because they are terrible it wouls have been a bit of an injustice. I think Denver, Cincy and Miami are all better than them by a considerable margin. To me the AFC Tiers are: Tier 1: Chiefs, Bills, Ravens Tier 2: Texans, Chargers, Bengals Tier 3: Steelers, Broncos, Dolphins Then the Colts are kind of in no man's land as a very bad team too talented to suck and then the other six - Browns, Patriots, Raiders, Jags, Titans and Jets are utter trash.
  10. Yea. Think Cincy are dead with Miami winning. They'd need Miami to lose to the run for the bus Jets AND Denver to lose to KC's backups. That feels like a stretch too far.
  11. It was a nice rush for his sack today. Kudos. Didn't look like he played a ton.
  12. I confess I was pretty happy with the pick. I am shocked at how far off ready he looks mentally. I know he missed camp and that is tough for a rook but he was a good college player, he is a second round pick, at some point you just gotta get out there and play up to it. Yea to be clear I am not calling him a bust at this point. But I am writing off any chance he makes a meaningful impact this year. Give him another start next week with the backups, then make sure he is fully healthy for OTAs and start at ground zero install as if he just walked on campus.
  13. My God Bishop was bad today. Wrong angles in run support. Late to recognise plays in the short passing game. Beaten for the Conkin TD. He is a loooong way off ready. I never thought I'd say this.... we need Damar Hamlin back.
  14. In fairness I put it partly on Mara who allegedly told him 2 weeks ago he was coaching for his job. That's a stupid thing to tell your coach. Lie. Tell him he's safe and you are going to let him choose his QB. Don't give him a legit reason to screw you. Pats don't need a QB. But getting the one would land them a windfall of picks even for one of these two guys because the Giants and Raiders especially will want one. Jets might too. They should tank next week.
  15. Anyone but Cincy. While their D is a mess there are only 2 or 3 guys in the world who can legit go toe to toe with Josh Allen and Joe Burrow is one of them. No to facing him in a wildcard.
  16. Allen Cooper Rousseau Benford Oliver Epenesa
  17. That was on Bishop again. He has been BAD today.
  18. Davis missed his gap AGAIN. About the 4th today.
  19. Nice reception for Tyrod. Good to see.
  20. Rodgers is done for the day. Call it a career old man. It. Is. Over.
  21. And for Mitch and the backup OL. Jets might be running for the bus but that was perfectly executed.
  22. Honestly watch the 2nd half back. He has single handidly blown up 3 run plays at the line and was the reason Aaron couldn't escape on the Von sack, he had him pinned (taking nothing away from Von was a great rush).
