Definitely cannot cover a tight end.

Haha! I just said that two posts earlier. Great minds!

He looks like Jack Nicholson.

Didn't their backup kicker look really good?

McLaughlin should make the practice squad.

Duke has to make the team. Anyone who can look good with Tyree at QB should be automatic.

Tyree always looks like he's limping. He walks like an old man.

Absolutely! But it still ticked me off. Watched him over the weekend. Looked good.

I'm a UB alum and fan. Their team last year was good, but you could see Tyree was not pro ready. He listened to the wrong people. When I saw Osborne transfer to Miami, it really ticked me off.

I'd keep Pitts over Munnerlyn if that's a decision that needs to be made.

Perry might still be injured.

And ours!

Snip. Snip. Bojo.

You may be right about the Special Teams. I found it interesting this preseason that the Bills have been experimenting with players on STs more than usual. I really think they are realizing they have players that they'd like to keep, but who haven't played STs in the past. Of course, that may be why we stunk on STs in Detroit.

I stand corrected on the accuracy issue, but he was inconsistent in his decision making and lack of discipline was evident. As to your second point...the jury is still out.

I see it similarly with Yeldon over Murphy and Jaquan Joseph over Marlowe. (I don't think they want to expose Joseph to waivers. It may be the same with Vosean Joseph as well since he was a 5th round pick.)

I didn't follow Mahomes that much, but really liked Watson. Watching him this preseason has been brutal though. He really hangs onto the ball much too long. With the Texans Oline, he's going to get himself injured again. I also agree with the takes regarding the Bills...particularly McD...not being in a position to draft a QB in 2017. He was just learning about the team they had...and was in no position to decide on a future QB. Whaley was on his way out and Beane on his way in. So...I cannot classify not drafting Mahomes or Watson for that matter as a blunder, but rather lousy timing.

No...That's not what I'm saying at all. My point, which you obviously missed, is that you cannot make a direct comparison with Mahomes situation in KC and Allen's in Buffalo. Would Mahomes in his second year under the tutelage of Tyrod Taylor, throwing to Clay versus Kelce and Zay, Deonte Thompson, and whoever else we had at starting receiver (Matthews?) instead of Hill, not to mention playing behind a sieve of an o-line have looked like an MVP candidate? On the other hand, would Allen actually getting reps in practice in his first year, learning under Andy Reid, throwing to Hill and Kelce, and playing behind a solid o-line have looked better in his rookie season and then second year? In college, Mahomes was a gunslinger, not very accurate, with lousy footwork, but a cannon for an arm. Sounds familiar. He did play in a more competitive conference with better talent surrounding him, then did Allen, but both QBs were flawed. We can only hope that Allen develops as a QB...but to try and make direct comparisons is impractical.

That is a possibility...but who would Mahomes have been throwing to? Mahomes is good...no doubt...but look at his supporting cast. Having Tyreek Hill and Kelce to throw to helped his development tremendously. Now they've added more speed in Williams. Mahomes just has to throw the ball. They will go get it. I just don't think it would have looked that pretty on the Bills considering the supporting cast.

Is it ever a team move when you hold out, not sign your franchise tag and not communicate with your team?

To be honest, we don't need Clowney...particularly at what we would need to give up for him. He would not be that big of a difference maker on this team, particularly at this stage of the game. We are building a team. That means we want team players. Let the Dolphins wreck their team with this dumb ass move. Having said that, my guess is he's going to end up on the Eagles. I said this a few days ago. They need helph on their D-line and have depth on their oline and at wide receiver that they could offer in addition to draft picks. BTW, I liked O'Brien when he coached at Penn State, but he's a bit of a jerk in the Pros. (For all I know he was a jerk at PSU as well.) With him as Houston's functional GM (or disfunctional as the case may be), Houston will likely get fleeced in any trade.

I pray for his full recovery. I hate the Pat's but this is a man's life.

I'm betting now that neither the Bills nor Miami get him. I'm guessing Philly. They have oline depth and they need help on their D lIne (hence the trade for Eli Harold.)

I was thinking the same thing.

Lombardi is reporting he will be traded within the next 24 to 48 hrs. Houston wanted oline help, but since that is unlikely, they are looking for a WR they can pair with Hopkins as Fuller is coming off an ACL injury. There are two teams currently negotiating with Clowney to see if they can agree to an extension.
