Sammy Watkins' Rib

True. But it's good news for this year at least.

Shaq Lawson looked good last night. He's still playing for a big deal correct? I think he can have a big year this year for us.

There was also the deep overthrow. I think to Zay. It was over thrown quite a bit. Probably close to 5 yards. And I hate those 11 yard sacks on the naked bootlegs. Remember seeing those at least a couple times last year. Drive killers and sometimes FG killers. I know you can't really put that at the feet of Josh Allen. But maybe we should consider blocking the outside linebacker. I'm worried about Haushka. He missed a 30 something yarder last night and is coming off a sub par year.

We have a QB that loves the deep ball and the only two receivers on our roster that are consistently capable of running those routes are Brown and Foster. If anything, Beasely, McCloud and Mekenzie are redundant. Not sure we have room for three receivers that bring the same thing to the table.

Need more tiers. Wentz at least belongs in the "Is what it is" group. Make a "has been" tier for Flacco and Eli.

Five years too late? What year did McGahee last play?

I see. Your post was confusing is all. You think more of the same in a good way from last year (which was the highest scoring FF QB in the final six games or whatever), yet you say you wouldn't chose him for Fantasy this year. If his running numbers tail off I would think/hope that would coincide with an uptick in his passing yards/TD's.

More of the same from last year? Well which half of the season? His first six starts or his last six starts? Because he was a completely different player in a good way in his last six starts. It is hard for me to imagine him regressing back to to his first six starts.

LOL. So did you take McCoy in the first last year? And where will you take him this year. I think he went late third or 4th round in the league I was in last year. I'll be honest I want Allen bad this year and since I play in a league with my brother who is also a Bills fan I know I am going to have to take him before the 6th round if I want to guarantee I get him.

Same here. But I didn't think he pulled a Sammy Watkins. I thought the DB just made a great play on the ball?

I think Brady plays to 45.So four more years. Whether or not his final years are with the Patriots or not could be another story. He'll want to finish ahead of Drew Brees in career passing yards and TD's so i think that makes him guaranteed to play another two years if this were to be Bree's last year which it probably isn't. He won't walk away at the top of his game and playing like a top 10 QB. He'll go the Peyton route and play till he clearly sucks and doesn't have it anymore. The one caveat being if he hits age 45 and is still playing at a high level then I could see him walking away before his skills fall off a cliff.

Not surprised. Probably how most of the other NFL fan bases view Allen right now. Well, except for Miami fans. I'm guessing the majority of them would love to have Allen. The funny thing is, if Josh does develop into a franchise QB, Elway will be pulling his hair out for passing on him. I totally get why they did pass on a QB and specifically Allen. They drafted two similar "big" QB's in Oz and Lynch that totally busted. No way they could take a chance on Allen even if they really liked him. And Allen is probably the exact prototype QB that Elway would fall in love with. But because of those two previous busts Denver couldn't even entertain the idea of drafting Allen with a straight face. I really hope he does but Dallas' defense is nasty.

Totals can also be single season. As some others have mentioned he's also nowhere near the single season leaders in TD's or yards. I do think longevity and injury history should play a factor in a players greatness too provided they played at an elite level for their entire career. Brady and Peyton are pretty good examples of this. And the fact that they hardly ever missed games or had nagging injuries helped their teams. Rodgers seems to play with a lot of injuries (like all of last season) and that doesn't bode well for helping his team win over the course of an entire season. He is going to have to prove more to me than just being the most efficient QB ever playing entirely in the pass friendly era.

You are greatly under rating the changes to the game that have made the passing game league wide much more efficient. These changes started to really take place somewhere around 2005-2007 and have only increased with the passing years. Rodgers might hold all the efficiency records when he retires yet in a passing league he won't hold a single totals record. That is a bit of a problem in putting him in the top four and doesn't even take into account his injury proneness and lack of postseason success.

He's played his entire career in the pass happy quarterback friendly era though. Had guys like Brees, Brady and Peyton had their careers start in '07 instead of '98-2001 their averages would be much higher. And for all his greatness he only has one Conference Title. The only thing he has going for him over others is efficiency. He's also too injury prone compared to the other three I mentioned. I'd but Brees, Brady and Peyton ahead of Rodgers which means he is at best 4th in the more modern era of QBs.

I like to look at yards from scrimmage over total rushing yards. Would like to see Gore leapfrog Faulk for 4th all time. He needs 611 scrimmage yards. And McCoy need 1,411 scrimmage yards to jump from 34th to 14th. Hard to say how many touches either guy will get though.

How do you explain a guy like Jerome Bettis? Or in the future, Eli Manning, Matt Ryan? Phillip Rivers might get in too and I'm borderline on him being a HOFer. All these guys will get in if we say there is no limit on the number of guys that can make it.

Next game I attend will probably be the Vegas game since I'm only about a four hour drive from the stadium.

Unfortunately we are 1-6 in games I have attended. All during the drought era. I wouldn't say any of them were good games including the lone win @ Carolina in '09. All were road games except for the '07 season opener against Denver, the Kevin Everett game. That was probably the most entertaining game from start to finish with a 20 yard Beast Mode TD run, Roscoe Parrish punt return TD and the dramatics of Jason Elam running on the field to kick the game winner with no timeouts and the clock ticking down. Really sucked the life out of the stadium. It's hard to go to road games and expect wins or good football when you are a perennial 6-10/7-9 team every year.

Josh Allen is the real deal. Can't wait till this season.

Jets, Browns and Patriots in that order. Or Browns and Patriots if we lock up one of the first round bye's.

I agree. I think Darnold, Allen and Mayfield all have break-out sophomore seasons next year. More so Darnold and Allen since Mayfield was already pretty good last year.

Wow. Yeah I would not have expected that to be the case.

Yes. Eli only really stepped his game up in the second super bowl run but it still wasn't to the level Flacco did. Plus, Flacco played with an aging Baltimore defense that gave up more than 30 points twice in the playoffs that year. Flacco had to step up. The Giants defense on the other hand did not give up over 20 point in any of the 8 post season games in those two Super Bowl runs and they gave up 17 points or less in 6 of the 8 games.

I agree. He is very close but ultimately you got to say no. He's literally missing like one additional footnote in his resume like one more super bowl appearance or one more season with 3500 yards and 90 QB Rating or a league MVP season. But yeah, if you open it up for McNabb then guys like Romo, Stafford and even Bledsoe will come calling.
