  1. I couldn't care less about their apology or the change in the overtime rule. You go up by three with 13 seconds left you should win the game every time. Having said that, either get rid of the taunting rule or call it consistently. Yeah. It's accurate. On the play, Hill flashed his patented "peace" sign at Bills defenders at about the 16-yard-line before completing the 64-yard touchdown that gave Kansas City a 33-29 lead. A taunting penalty would not have wiped out the score; it would have either been assessed on the point-after attempt or the ensuing kickoff. Same would've happened if Matt Ryan scored a TD there instead of giving himself up.
  2. Kaiir Elam is another possibility. Either could slip to them in the 2nd round.
  3. Yeah yeah yeah.... With the 12th pick, the Vikings select Kyle Hamilton, S, Notre Dame I just read this mock and don’t see his name up there. If he’s still available it’s a no brainer as he’s a unicorn on defense that a creative d-coordinator would love to have given his versatility as his football IQ and playmaking is off the charts. He’s an athletic freak that can excel as a linebacker, box safety, and roaming safety like he did at Notre Dame. The Texans @mannc are on the clock…
  4. Rashawn Slater was outstanding his rookie year. To the hypothetical question, I think Slater would have the most trade value given the longevity and importance of the position. You can't go wrong with him, Parsons, or Chase though.
  5. Given the injuries on offense I thought Josh’s best game was @New England. Plus, I just want to see Diggs throw the f bomb at Pats fans again.
  6. Tackle depth is an underrated need for this team. Pry second right now behind CB. Ty Nsekhe is a free agent. Just saying.
  7. He's been on the team for three years so the Bills have had plenty of time to evaluate him. By matching the offer sheet they obviously like the way he's developed along with his versatility in being able to play every position in the o-line. I don't see this as that much of a risk as some fans on here do.
  8. Perfect amount of seats and the right location. They got two out of three right and that's not bad.
  9. I’ll take Vikings if still available.
  10. I believe you're incorrect here. The Browns can eat a portion of Baker's salary next year in a trade. For example, the Panthers paid 7 million of Bridgewater's 10 million dollar contract last year when they traded him to the Broncos who paid the remaining 3 million. You're right in that if they cut him and he's signed they save about a million dollars in dead cap (they'll pay him 17.7 million of his 18.8 million salary).
  11. Lots of ways this could play out. If two teams are interested (say the Lions and Seahawks) they could create a bidding war and the Browns could get a pick for him. If there's less interest the Browns can package a pick with Mayfield assuming the team he's traded to eats his salary. The Browns can also eat a large chunk of his salary in a trade like you said. The Browns also could wait until a starting QB goes down in training camp on another team and get something for him then. Finally, they could just rip the band aid off and cut him eating his salary for a year.
  12. Both looked bad. You don't joke about another person's autoimmune disease. You don't physically assault someone because of that joke.
  13. Thanks. Tasteless joke. Both looked bad in that situation.
  14. That might help get the ratings back up. What was the joke that set him off?
  15. The debate for 2nd place starts after this...
  16. That's not the point. Newton missed only two games in his first four years of football (both in 2014). One due to a sack in a preseason game and one later in the year after a car accident. The point is that Newton was once viewed as close to invincible because he didn't miss hardly any games at the start of his career despite his playing style (which is very similar to Allen's). Newton's career resembled that of a hard running RB who peaked early and was worn down by the time he hit 30. It's a cautionary tale that Beane and McDermott witnessed first hand.
  17. As Bruce Arians said, "He's more like Cam Newton, but with a bigger and stronger arm.” I really don't want any more designed runs for Allen because he's more than capable of picking a defense apart with his arm. Newton wasn't.
  18. It was a mixed bag. I remember the younger analytics crowd hated him. The more recognizable/seasoned "experts" (McShay, Kiper, Mayock) had him ranked as their second best QB prospect after Darnold. Allen was definitely one of the most polarizing prospects ever.
  19. People have a warped view of him because he didn't dive for that fumble in the Super Bowl. He never played soft. The narrative after his MVP season is he's just built differently and can take all that punishment. He should definitely be a cautionary tale for the Bills.
  20. He definitely set the blueprint for how to get a 7 million dollar yearly raise and about 130 million more in guaranteed money.
  21. Newton missed two games the first four years of his career with the same playing style. Josh missed three I believe his rookie year. It's unsustainable.
  22. McDermott saw what happened to Cam first hand. It's a cautionary tale the Bills need to learn real quick. Article from 2016.... Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has taken a beating in his NFL career, far more than any quarterback in recent history. And suddenly, at the still-young age of 27, Newton is facing the first flash point between playing style and long-term future. Newton is officially cleared to return from a concussion suffered when he tried scrambling into the end zone in Week 4. The play, and his subsequent one-game absence, was a reminder that no quarterback -- not even one who broke into the league with a patented "Superman" celebration -- can indefinitely absorb unnecessary punishment without consequence.? Ahead of Sunday's game in New Orleans, let's take a closer look at what Newton has exposed his body to during his six-year career. The Panthers say they won't limit his running or impose a fundamental change in their offense, but we'll consider a suggestion for lessening the toll nonetheless. Newton has been hit on 831 plays over 82 games in his career, an average of about 10 per game. The number may sound small, but it is actually extraordinary in the context of other quarterbacks. The next-closest quarterback has taken nearly 300 fewer hits over the same time period. This tally includes every play he has been hit on while either on the run or while throwing, but it is capped at one hit per play and doesn't include contact after the throw or on two-point conversions. Since 2011, the Panthers have called more than twice the number of designed runs for Newton than any other team has for another quarterback. And they have resulted in 1,941 rushing yards, more than double Russell Wilson's 833. Nearly two-thirds of Newton's designed QB runs have gone between the guards, where maximum contact occurs. Newton also has taken off on more scrambles -- runs when a pass play breaks down -- than anyone but Wilson over this span. In all, Newton has been hit at least once on 533 of 575 plays that were either designed runs or meaningful scrambles in his career.
  23. I remember me and my brother driving home in just my boxers after the '08 Giants game because my clothes were soaked and there was a 50/50 chance I had frostbite. That was mine "I'm done" as far as season tickets go. I'm interested to see how they do control for weather and maybe I'll be in again. This team is too fun to watch.
