Victory Formation

I think it looks cool.

To me it’s racist it’s because they’re saying, hey look, you ain’t good enough to get this position on your own so let’s make it easier on you because you’re too inept to get this job on equal footing.

I’m confused. Explain.

They did go 11-5 with Matt Cassel so I wouldn’t count out Jarrett Stidham. Could be looking at Brian Hoyer early on to start the year and Stidham gets a shot later on in the season. The Patriots developed a slew of QBs outside of Tom Brady including Matt Cassel, Jimmy Garropolo and Jacoby Brissett but they’ve also missed on others such as Danny Etling, Ryan Mallett and Kevin O’Connell. So it remains to be seen as far as what kind of QB Jarrett Stidham is. The Patriots also boast the best coach to ever grace the game. Belichick and the Patriots have done well without Tom Brady when injured in the past. They’ve also developed decent QBs outside of Brady as mentioned up above. I will also say that the Patriots first three picks were rock solid. Dugger, Uche and Jennings will all be elite players in Belichick’s system. Not sure about the rest of their draft but Belichick certainly made that defense a lot better which is scary because their secondary is already one of the best in the NFL. In closing. I think the Bills and the Patriots will battle tooth and nail for the divisional crown. The Patriots will not bottom out, their defense and coaching staff is too good for that and they have a nifty running attack behind a solid OL. I think 10 wins is not out of the question for New England, Buffalo will need 10-12 wins to win the division. I don’t think Stidham will be the guy but I think he’ll fit their system well and New England will likely go QB next year. The Jets and Dolphins will be non-factors.

• Bills won the division at 12-4 • Allen has a 66% completion rate along with 4,200 yards. • Stefon Diggs catches 100 passes • Bills have a top 5 defense • Zack Moss turns out to be a better RB than Motor. • Bills have the #1 rated rushing offense. • Allen throws for 28 TDS to 10 INTS

I’m against removing the age restriction. I like seeing NFL players with degrees. The average career is 3 years so I think it’s important for these kids to have something to fall back on. I do think undrafted players should be able to go back to school though.

Now correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t Palms/Quarter coverage/Cover 4/Cover 6 vulnerable against the run? Seems like a great package in obvious passing situations as our secondary can sit back and ball hawk but running teams can punish us on the ground and if that happens enough then they can start moving the ball on us via play action. We were still ranked 10th in rushing yards though so clearly Frazier/McD do a great job in getting our defense in the right formations. So I’d say quarters is a nice package to run in a passing league but will likely not be used as frequently against the New England Patriots and Tennessee Titans of the world.

Can’t have a Mount Rushmore without a Mount Bustmore, it’s only fair. Maybe Dick Jauron sneaks in as coach?

I think for the most part as of right now, it’s not who Josh Allen is, it’s who we think he will be. Some folks say that accuracy cannot be addressed and I think that’s true when arm strength is an issue and QBs can’t get the ball there cause they lack mustard but Josh Allen has enough juice to make even the hardest throw. It’s not just that though but Allen also has the determination of John Elway when it comes to putting his body on the line. That shows in his rushing TD totals, he had 9 last year and 8 the year before. He really reminds me of a slightly smaller but more athletic Rob Gronkowski out there. In goal line situations Josh Allen can kill ya with the option play. Fast enough to get to the pylon, big enough to run over a LB in the middle on a QB sneak. This sets up lots of easy TD throws to WRs on the goal line because defenders are caught in the middle when they have to decide whether or not they want to give up a rushing TD or a passing TD. I think if I had to make a QB comparison I’d say he’s a bigger John Elway with way more running ability and athleticism. He’s essentially Rob Gronkowski with Elway’s arm. Once again though, it’s not who he is, it’s who he will be.

Who would be on your Mount Rushmore of All-Time Bills busts? Derrick Dockery, EJ Manuel, Aaron Maybin, John McCargo

I think Trey Adams will make the PS... Talented player, injuries derailed his career.. Stash him on the PS for a year, let him get healthy.. He was viewed as a first round pick at one point. Sit him for a year and let him compete for a roster spot next year..

Red on red.

Although I think the Mosley injury was brought on by the Bills play calling. They were really overworking him and made him move around quite a bit and I think eventually his body started to break down. It was a groin injury correct?

All but Dane Jackson, he goes to the PS.

I think the obvious choice is DE or RT but a lot can happen between now and then.

Breathalyzers to fans before entry, must complete a ninja warrior obstacle course.

I think Sean Payton is a damn good coach, he is worth mentioning. I’ve always thought that his offenses were impressive. He’s 139-84 all time. Drew Brees/Sean Payton is one of the best QB to HC combos all time. Won a Super Bowl in a city that most folks thought would never get one. Tony Dungy is another guy I find highly commendable. Great HC built the Super Bowl Bucs team up from scratch before Gruden came in and won one. Turned the Colts into an unbeatable juggernaut with exception to the Patriots who were their kryptonite. Probably would have been a dynasty if it weren’t for New England. I think that’s overlooked by so many of us fans, without Belichick and Brady, the Colts would have won multiple Super Bowls easily.

It’s only weird if you make it weird.

Somehow a thread on Jarrett Stidham has turned into a thread on global warming and holocaust denial.....

I did watch it through, but I am simply your average potbellied fan with no medical background.

I am sooooo freaking glad that man is walking again. Praise the LORD for that. Chopping it off should have never been an option unless his life was at risk, which it didn’t seem to be. He looked good doing squats and throwing the ball around, at least now he can play catch with his sons and have a decent life. Seems like an amazing person, I’ve always liked Alex Smith and I like him even more now. Great player, great person, great human being. Nothing more to say other than Alex Smith is all class.

I think it’s obvious that Diggs, Brown and Beasley will be big time contributors and if Gabe Davis or Isaiah Hodgins can step in at that 4th spot Allen should always have an open receiver. It’s going to take a lot of development on Allen’s part. Knowing where all your receivers are at in their routes and getting the timing down can be tricky. Throw in Knox, Singletary and Moss, it can be tricky to keep track of where everyone’s at. Ideally I’d like to see Allen force the ball to Diggs early and often, especially if he gets lost in his progressions, that’s why he’s here. Between the top 3 someone should always be open but against the better secondaries in the world Allen may have to delegate the ball to Davis, Hodgins, Singletary & Moss. Needless to say our offense went from bottom half of the league to potentially upper echelon. It all rests on Allen’s shoulders and whether or not he can correctly go through his reads. Should be a top 5 offense if we live up to our potential.

This sounds right to me.

I think you mean Stidham. They’re saying that New England is higher on him than they were on Garoppolo. It should be interesting to see how this shakes out. I think even with poor QB play, New England gets 8 wins off their defense alone so bottoming out doesn’t seem likely. Their defense is way too good for that.

I think Buffalo had a great draft as did New England, Miami and the Jets. The fact that New England didn’t draft a QB tells me that they’re all in on Stidham. Who is this guy? How good can he be? Is he really a franchise QB or are the Patriots tanking for a QB? Even with subpar QB play I think New England is a 7 or 8 win team so if they bottom out they’ll still likely miss out on Trevor Lawrence. I’ve visited New England message boards and their fan base is really all in on Stidham which is shocking to me. Their defense is disgusting and they had a great draft on top of that. Dugger and Uche are dogs and will both likely be Pro Bowl defenseman. So what’s the story with New England? No Jameis Winston, no Dalton, no Bridgewater, no Cam Newton. Who is this Stidham guy and is he for real?
