  1. Maybe. Yes we shall see how he develops but I think Tua sucks and I am not going to put the blame on Flores. Flores did what he had to to try and win games. Tua is a bigger injury prone version of Mac Jones. Alabama products great with short passes, highly accurate in college where they consistently played inferior teams. Lets see how Jones handles real pressure & competition on the NFL. If he fizzles out, i wont be shocked at all.
  2. I have to agree on Flores, I think he is an excellent head coach, what he did with the Dolphins his first year was a borderline miracle, remember people used to snicker at the Dolphins for trading away talent and recall the Tank for Tua comments. (ironically they end up with him and I think Tua will be at best a mediocre starting NFL QB).
  3. Same mantra we heard over and over here about London Fletcher when he was a Bill, after he left he played another 7 years with 4 pro bowls.
  4. Did your youngest daughter go there on a football scholarship?
  5. Lack of speed in a small RB is a killer in the NFL. I think much of the problem with Devins very low yards before contact/attempt is his lack of speed. And Zach Moss is no speed demon either. I dont think the Bills current regime has done a good job at drafting RBs. I think that is why they signed Matt Breida, we finally have some speed in the backfield.
  6. Yes, the academic strain at Miami must be brutal
  7. I would agree with all of your assertions but not ready to say Mario >>Rousseau/Epenesa/Basham. All three of those guys have unknown capabilities, even Epenesa with the way his weight is varying so much. And IMO, Williams was sporadic, had great games intermixed with mediocre efforts.
  8. Pete Rozelle award winner. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/06/28/john-facenda-posthumously-honored-with-hall-of-fames-pete-rozelle-award/ He certainly had a great voice for NFL films.
  9. I dont think "perfectly" thrown balls that come out exactly where they are supposed to be is an ideal for a receiver. Until we have robots as QBs most balls in game time will not be anything close to perfectly thrown balls, I would rather have my receivers have the practice adjusting to imperfectly thrown balls. Now if you just want to do the drills nd no QB available, sure why not.
  10. Thanks, good read. Coming out of Northern Iowa and not having a 2020 football season at all of course Brown is going to be raw. He appears to have the physical tools and the right work ethic. He has seemed to really adopt the Bills having celebrated jumping on a table. Absent injuries we dont need him to start anytime soon wo sounds like a great potential risk reward. I have to thin Spencer has a very high ceiling.
  11. What changed was KC O Line was a mess, i think they were without both starting tackles.
  12. We lost the games at the line of scrimmage, both offensively and defensively. We could not run not adequately protect J Allen, he was under assault, their D Line totally outclassed our O Line. And our D Line was not match for their O Line. We saw what Mahomes can look like when he doesn't have great protection, look at the Super Bowl vs TB.
  13. Good point. Just wait to see what Zach Wilson and Tua do in front of a rocking Highmark Stadium. Would not shock me at if both of them get easily rattled and when/or if Tua gets rattled, his game will come undone.
  14. If it does end up bigger I would add Ryan Bates and Darryl Johnson, both young and not much $. Morse as our primary Center concerns me with his age/injury history and concussions, one thing Bates has O Line versatility. I always liked the upside to Daryl Johnson, was very "raw" coming it of North Carolina A&T but has great length. We are going to loose a good or potentially good D Lineman this year.
  15. Good points although I think Josh's hard work, work with Palmers etc also had a positive impact. You did miss one glorious receiver in your 2018 dismal list...the one and only Kelvin Benjamin who had the lowest catch rate (35%) in the NFL that year, he didnt last the season. Credit to Beane/McDermott admitting/recognizing a mistake. I am amazed the Giants signed him this year.
  16. Cosell had great comments on Tua, trying to be positive and didnt directly trash Tua.. Tua was " Up and down", "needs the offense to work for him", "works well within structure" , "you have to the structure" "teams got an understanding of what he was"...figured him out in other words, one reason why he sucked so bad against the Bills at season end. And credits Chan Gailey for creating the right structure, just like Gailey did in Buffalo creating Fitzmagic and making CJ Spiller look like an all star., As you can tell I am a non-believer in Tua, think yes under near ideal situations like at Alabama he can excel...good luck duplicating that in the NFL.
  17. True, that and our run game and interior line blocking on running plays
  18. I agree. Winter weather is overstated, especially with the national mindset of how brutal WNY weather is. You play half your games away and there are only a handful of winter weather days in WNY for Bill games. Lambeau in a dome, when the Packers arent good games would be dreadful.. Modern day players have far superior winter weather gear, they dont need to dress up in heavy coats as they did 40 years ago.
  19. Are we supposed to be impressed by your overuse now of the word "comminitas"? Good for you, you listen to Schoop and Bulldog, I dont waste my time but i see how you can form your opinions. Gee, thanks for "enlightening me", I figured out why i come here, to try and have an intellectually honest debate which you are apparently incapable of. Bye Bye
  20. I think Trubisky acquisition was one of the most interesting the Bills have did this year. Did they get him for next to nothing to be a backup or to showcase in a pre season game and maybe trade him? Jake Fromm has been in the system for a year, would be nice to see if he has any potential.
  21. Seriously? You start out correctly stating none of us have any idea BUT THEN you go on to assert 1) it wasnt by accident 2) did it on purpose 3) wanted him dead. Well you were right about one thing, none of us have any clue....including yourself.
  22. I agree, I hope he goes back to New England, at some point he is going to fail and fail miserably and to do so back in New England would be tremendous.
  23. Who are you talking about, "she" making the cover of Sports Illustrated?
  24. You disagree with each point, good for you. Did you bother read to the end of my comment on Allens arm (sarcasm). And yes, the malls were never going to be empty either. We shall see how stadiums evolve, if you can only see the present that is up to you. Things evolve and change, some people can foresee a different future, others cant.
