Go Bills! First playoff win in what 20 years? Then next week torpedo Pats and cause the implosion.

It goes both ways but your right. More often then not the only changes or adjustments made are in terms of exexuction not schemes.

I dont expect him back in LA. He will go to whoever pays him most and a team that pitches him as the go to guy. I think he ends up in cleveland. They overpay and becomes the guy for a rookie qb.

Trading Garapalo mid-season for 2nd was an odd move. Having nothing behind a 40 year old QB makes 0 sense. That move paired with trading Brissett are completely not Belicheck moves. There are 2 options to choose from. Either Bill after developing Garapalo and reaching the end of his contract didnt think Garapalo was that good, or trading him wasnt Bills decision. Eric Mangini take on this story leads me to believe there is more to this than leads the eye. the only speculation is how severe is the strife between Bill and Kraft/Brady. Everything McGinest says is true. That is why many believe Bill would pick the 27 year old Qb with loads of potential and the ability to set the franchise up for 10 years vs the 40 years where unless they can find lightening in a bottle again they are held hostage by Brady and his decision to retire.

He looks like a DE. Dude is a beast and if healthy can just out muscle every db. I would love to see him have a big game on the big stage.

I agree 100%. Nothing about the last 12 months makes senses when it comes to "the Patriot way". Bill has always bought low sold high. If Bill wanted to keep Brady would he revoke his personal trainers credentials? Would he trade an above average back up whos on a very team friendly deal to Indy for a bust wr if he was moving on from Jimmy G? Brady went to Kraft a little before the trade deadline. After his personal trainer was revoked some access he normaly had because he saw the tea leaves changing. Kraft informed Bill that he in no way had the authority to move on from Brady and he best get whatever he can for Jimmy G because he was not going sign him or franchise him if it ment moving on from Brady. Robert Kraft just pulled a Jerry Jones. By sticking up for his "guy" he has set off a chain of events he Kraft cannot forsee because he has not been a part of the day to day operations. Imo Bill always wanted to win one without Brady to cement his own legacy that now is not the case. Bill will grant teams access to his assistants and will sway them to leave the sinking ship. 41 year old Qb with a mediocre oline dline and linebaker corp is not a team building but decaying.

Our whipping boy doesnt put up yards. Yours throws picks. That is why Buffalo are live dogs. They did clinch but if Jax won out woildnt they gotten a first rd bye?

NYG, Indy, CLE all could trade down. 3 first rounders? They have the ammunition.

I agree. To find an improvement over Taylor on the open market will cost much more than what it costs to keep Taylor. Al a Eagles. Trade up for your Qb. If he beats outTaylor trade him in training camp when a team is desperate.

Go get the best Qb you can get. I think you keep Taylor so you dont have to be desperate. The only way to get one of the best QBs is to go get one. As much as everyone want to ingore it the Buffalo Bills are a playoff team. The roster will be improved this offseason and they have the draft capital required to go get a guy. I say go get em. Keep taylor until the rookie takes his job. Not in a im going to start Peterman sort of way. Like Russel Wilson in Seattle or Big Ben in Pittsburgh.

The last quarter or the season Jacksonville went 2-2. Losing the the last two games of the year. Buffalo went 3-1 with the loss at New England, winning the last game of the season to get in. Jacksonville is the definition of backing into the playoffs. Played their worst game on defense all year in San Fran and playing terrible on offense in Tennessee. 2 bad losses to end the year and go into the playoffs.

I disagree. The Qb you want wont be there at 20 whatever we pick.

Outside of going hard for Cousins. Not my first choice. I think Taylor is as good as any Qb available on the open market. 16 mil is stopgap qb money. Draft a qb, more likley trade up for your qb. He either sits behind Taylor for a year or straight takes his job and out plays him which would be best case scenerio. If Taylor is past then trade Taylor to a deperate team in training camp and recoup the capital used to trade up for your guy.

Do you trade up for one or hope one falls? I think you trade up for a qb, keep Taylor and keep building. Maybe a rookie prompts a jult in Taylors play like kaepernick and Mahomes did to Alex Smith. Maybe the rookie is just better and goes big ben for pittsburgh.

I pick up his option and would only look to move him if an upgrade came along. 16 mil a year for qb in 3 years won more than he lost and threw 3 to 1 TD to ints. He will be very appealing to a team that could not land a qb or had a qb get hurt.

Average arm, small, not overly athletic, an offense that doesnt translate to the NFL. Those are all reason why if you get past the hype he is probably 2nd or 3rd rd caliber. Mayfeild has 0 chance going top 5, 10 or 15. I think someone will take a chance with him like Tebow and Manziel were before him. If you want an improvement over Taylor but want a guy his height and will have similar restrictions with feild vision minus his A+ athletism you are in for a dissapointment.

Smart for both Qbs. Rosen would continue to get beat up and he doesnt fit Chip Kellys system. Darnold has all the tools and would be better equipped to just learn and grow in a pro offense. With rollouts and traditional play action. I think Buffalo goes hard for a shot at either.

None of those teams beats Atlanta in Atlanta or out plays a hot Broncos team.

Colin Cowherd is picking Buffalo to beat Jacksonville because his theory is the better qb wins in the playoffs.

IMO going back to school puts more pressure on his play than going #1 would. Only reason he goes back to school is if his estimated draft status was 2 rd. I think alot of teams would pick him in the first rd and probably top 15. History has never favored a Qb going back to school especially USC Qbs. Would you rather be Marck Sanchez or Leinhart and Barkley? He will need to play near perfect be in contention for the Heisman and National Championship to even meet expectations.

If Mccoy plays I like the chances alot more which is true. Jacksonville is a streaky team and I think play to the level of there competition. I think they expect to win and Buffalo will give them all they can handle even if Mccoy is out. The game comes down to Blake Bortles he is either gonna make big throws or he will throw Ints.

He is the bet player on the roster. Not having him would be a big blow. It seemed like he rolled is ankle. Its not broke depends on the level of swelling and degree of sprain. If he is anywhere above 75% he is playing and will perform ok. The offense needs a special set of plays for when tolbert is in the game. You cannot call the same plays you would with shady. Give him a lead blocker and maybe go 2 TE and run power runs. Russel Wilson abused the the Jags defense, Tayor will need to have a big game. He is capable of doing so and teams that we do not regularly face him have trouble containing him. If the Jaguars run heavily man coverage with their corners Taylor could have a big game on the ground and in the air.

We need Taylor to play the best football of his career. He plays well Buffalo wins. As much as its stop tbe run. Its Bortles vs Taylor.

This. With Mccoys post yesterday I expected Mccoy to play and be close to 100. They will be coy about it but shady seems to be ok.
