Nobody wants to hear this but the real evaluation for Coleman starts next year. He was a player you drafted for the long term, not for year one. He has no idea what he's doing out there, he's just getting by on pure physical ability. Like Spencer Brown his first couple years. Hopefully Adam Henry can do what Aaron Kromer did. I wish Coleman had built on his game against Seattle, unfortunately he got injured and then regressed and kind of plateaued the rest of the season. But he's going to be just 22 years old in May. He comes from primarily a basketball background. So this is not a finished product. Supposedly he has a great work ethic and I know he spent a good chunk of this past offseason at a private camp with a WR coach. He needs to put in a ton of work this offseason and learn the nuances of the position, while probably un-learning some of what he knows from his basketball days.

I'm still a no on trading a ton of capital to Garrett and then handing him a massive contract. I'm beyond believing that this defense is ever going to be the thing that gets us a Super Bowl. Of course that doesn't mean ignore the defense entirely. But our biggest investments should be used to support the best thing our franchise has going. Give me a stacked offense that can score at will with just an average playoff defense and I'm happy.

I just don't worry about defensive teams at all. I know playoff Josh Allen with his leash off and with a healthy set of weapons and OL can put up 30+ against any opponent. The great thing about Denver is they don't have an offense capable of dragging us into a shootout.

Such a perfect opponent for the wildcard round. Just don't let a rookie QB playing in cold weather beat you. Vegas knows.

Honestly great move for their organization. The coaching was abysmal this year and they have a great candidate waiting in the wings to lead their exciting young QB. Maybe it's not fair to Mayo but he did nothing to give them confidence this year. As a Bills fan I hate this. At least Vrabel won't have a stockpile of high picks waiting for him.

I can't get used to the speed of the ball coming out of his hand. Really not looking forward to the day Josh retires.

No one wants the Pats to be good again for at least the next 10 years. In fact let's call it 20.

Can't the team just agree to give it to him? I know it's extremely unlikely but I would hate to lose our punter one week before the playoffs on a completely pointless rep. Guy must have the least reps in the entire NFL, just give him his money.

I would go for it on every 4th down. Don't risk physical injury to Sam Martin or psychological injury to Bass

The commentary in this game is hilarious, they're just putting up random stats on the screen because there's nothing else to talk about

Oh poor Ingram was in hell on that route

It's preseason scheme on both sides

Alright get Cook out of there, what is this? If he loses more yards he'll be below 1K again

Grable - Anderson - SVPG - Clapp - RVD

They were out of the playoffs weeks ago so I guess Maye should have been sitting the whole time if that's their reasoning.

Backup OL has looked pretty good although it's hard to tell what kind of motivation level they're facing

I don't really understand Maye not getting more than a series in this game. They don't want their potential franchise QB to get reps?

?

Yeah we have to prirotize an X WR over anything else, whether that's re-signing Cooper or adding someone through trade. If extending Cook wouldn't get in the way of that, and wouldn't get in the way of extending Rousseau and Benford, I really couldn't complain. It's probably not what I would do but it's not a franchise altering mistake either. Cook still has relatively low career mileage and has taken his game to another level this year. He still has room to grow as a pass catcher too so there is some upside.

The thing is Cook is NOT Barkley or Henry, obviously. We mostly take him off the field on 3rd downs because a guy we picked up off the waiver wire has a better 3rd down skill set. I don't mean that as an insult to Cook, I love his skill set and fit in our offense, I'm just saying he is not a permanent fixure of the offense the way the truly elite backs are. 17 TDs is hard to ignore though. I'm not in favor of paying RBs but I can't sit here and pretend that all of those TDs would be scored by any random RB. And I think about all the free agency money Beane has spent on complete busts and I wonder how much it would really hurt our team if we gave Cook a decent extension. Give him the money instead of the next Curtis Samuel for example.

It's going to be Denver and we should all be very satisfied with that outcome.

I'm hoping to see Grable get the start at LT for the entire game. He looked great in the preseason so I'd like to see where he's at. His physical traits with Kromer's coaching give me hope we may have hit the jackpot. I could see him being our starting LT in two years, Dawkins will be 32 and it might be a perfect time to move him to LG.
