RoyBatty is alive

This I agree with BUT in defense of OBD, i dont think Peterman was ever Tyrod's "replacement", Tyrod's replacement was always going to be whoever they drafted and a vet picked up , AJM that was just a backup/ temporary placeholder for the new guy. Peterman was another camp arm, imo but shockingly outperformed AJM in pre-season.

Yeah, DVOA, EFFICIENCY, yes you are proving my point, he was very efficient, few mistakes, issue is he wasnt very effective for today high powered passing attacks, he was always at the bottom in yards passed, here are the Bills ranking in the NFL for passing yards '15 28 '16 30 '18 31 You cant get much worse than that OK here are Buffalo's 2015-2017 DVOA for total offense and for passing, recall he is a qb 2015 9 offense 12 passing 2016 10 offense 18 passing 2017 26 offense 28 passing See any trend there? Even his efficiency was getting worse, NFL teams largely figured him out. And we highlight it with his final Bills game and only playoff game 134 yards passing, 3 points scored and a QBR of 44.2

Good for him, always a fan favorite and was the entire Bills highlight reel for SB XXVII.

Are you buying into the narrative that Brady cried to Kraft and forced Jimmy G out...I am.

The Tyrod benching was obvious to most close watchers of Bills games, but the less Bills centric press (99% of them) used two metrics judging Tyrod, his turnover ratio and the fact he was the QB to the playoffs. They didnt bother to look at his 100 yrd passing games or all the opportunities he missed. Tyrod didnt turn over the ball because he never took chances, that strategy might have worked in the NFL 20 years ago but in todays high powered passing game it is a failure.

Actually this i agree with, the off season 2 years ago when talking football, ESPN must have devoted half off their on Kapernick.

this thread is headed places, over/under closure in 30 minutes.

He has alluded too it frequently, he has had a long history of injuries, especially back dating to his College days, he is a free spirit and is probably tired of not being able to goof off and the rigors of Belichek. Headed to the HOF, has superbowl rings, can still walk and his concussion are adding up. Gronk has limited IQ capacity to spare. I see a lot more reason for him to retire than for him to continue on, makes total sense to me.

Certainly, just witness Josh Gordon signing but replacing a first round HOF Tight End is not a trivial matter. As an aside, Gronk headed for his worst season by far, he has averaged .75 td/game until this year, .14.

Peyton hit the wall badly by 39, Brady will be 42 for next year season. Gronk will deterioration further and high probability he retires. This is no false alarm anymore.

I admit, I did as well. One thing you note, he sat for a full year and had a vet ahead of him

Probably, Beilchek can be a mean egomaniac, the not telling ahead of time and starting Butler in the Super Bowl, class move,

I think it is true, you saw it last year, look at his feeble attempt to thrown the ball at at then of the Super Bowl, couldn't get it to the end zone. Pats made their mistake with all that BS turmoil over Garrappalo, they had a reasonable Brady replacement, now they have Bran Hoyer.

Who said or intimated we aren't, the two aren't mutually exclusive. If and this is a big if the Bills really want to win this year then maybe Barkely should be our starter, Allen has looked awfully shaky his last three games.

Is this a joke? Yeah it is safe to say Kemp was a Bills fan. I went to college around the same time as Mark Murphy, he was a few years ahead of me but the football star talked to the freshman, was always s a very nice down to earth guy.

I did huh, LOL. You have some serious reading comprehension problems, either that or a hallucinogenic imagination , or most likely you just are painfully not very smart. And yes, I am quite proud of my profile pic, thanks for the mention! Your comments are accurate. I think all their plans feel apart with the demise of AJM, imagine that Peterman actually beat him out in pre-season.

Did I say or intimate that, no I did not so dont try a sophomoric attempt at twisting my words. I wrote on more game, there 6 games left, I highly doubt if Allen plays in 5 versus 6, is going to make a material difference in his development.

All true. I think there should be a lot of improvement. He has had weeks of actual real season game preparation, been able to work with Derek Anderson, he might not be a great QB but has a lot of experience.

Yes, exactly. We have seen how critical backup QBs can be this year.

Starting Barkley one more game makes sense to me, he does have a hot hand (supposedly) & find out if he his play was a fluke versus a very bad Jet defense, if it was you have made the decision not to keep him as a backup next year

what does that have to do with anything, i dont care if it is san diego or kc that wins the division

Patriots are 7-3, Chargers are 7-2, Chargers have a "half game" lead as far as I am concerned. And I hate the Steelers and Rotherelburger so I will never be a fan of theirs.

I have been saying yesterday said more about the Jets than the Bills. The tone of the game was set by their secondary, our WRs have =been unable to get separation all year and the repeatedly let our WRs get behind them for long completions. They weren't even great passes by Barkley, just adequate most of them. That opened up the run game and our offense was alive for once. Then the Bills played aggressive for once on offense and used trick plays. Even special teams played well and we appear to finally have a real return artist in Isiah McKenzie.

Yeah that is true BUT at least as far as the playoffs, the Chiefs have a two game lead on them, the Chargers a half game lead so New England likely going on the road in the playoffs and will lose. I am a die hard committed Charger-Chief fan the rest of this season

Some of these scripted "celebration acts" are getting a bit much, i hope there is some sort of time limit
