  1. I thought Lamar Jackson would be a mega bust, but I no longer feel that way.. Yes, he struggled against the Chiefs but damn that guy is so talented.. Decent size, big arm, smart, amazing athlete.. I think he is more like Steve Young than he is Mike Vick.. I’ll admit I was wrong... he is going to be just fine! Incredible QB!
  2. I think ego is different from confidence.... ego strikes me as narcissism, all about me sort of thing, I’m the best at what I do, I’m amazing yada yada yada... Confidence on the other hand can exist ultra peacefully with humility.. Humility isn’t humiliation, it’s about having an accurate view of one’s self worth... Look at quiet lunch pal type of players over the years... Kyle Williams, Eric Wood, JOSH ALLEN etc... They absolutely have confidence but they’re insanely humble about it which is a great trait to have in a leader.. Ego driven folks, like Adam Gase, Rex Ryan, Gregg Williams, Ryan Leaf, Baker Mayfield, Josh Rosen etc... those type of people are toxic and nobody wants to be around them and eventually they crash n burn..
  3. I don’t want the Jets to do well..but I liked Darnold coming out.. he was 3rd QB.. I hope they trade him out of the division and his career blossoms.. May be too late for him, Gase did him no favors..
  4. Only time will tell.. we got mega ultra lucky to win Allen in the draft.. Had they knew, Mahomes would’ve been a Bill.. I think the gap will close eventually.. I think Allen is more than capable of winning a few Super Bowls.. we got lucky, straight up..
  5. I think Levi Wallace is a lot better than people think.. but of course Carr will go after him.. Tre is the alternative and although Tre has had a down year I think he’s poised to break out eventually.. I think Darren Waller is a huge threat to our defense... I’d look out for him..
  6. Well, it looks like Dawkins, Morse and Williams are having good years but our guards are struggling.. that’s the easiest way for me to put it.. Also, Dawkins and Morse strike me more as pretty decent pass protectors but very average run blockers.. Ford and whatever other garbage we have at guard has been really underwhelming.. At least Allen has a pocket to throw in most of the time... that’s valuable.. but overall I’d say our line is pretty average.. Both guard spots need to be upgraded... there’s a chance that Cody Ford comes around but I think we could use some more competition there..
  7. Yeah... I’m no doctor but throwing with a sprained shoulder could probably lead to a torn rotator cuff or blowing out your arm.. Boy, the Jets could have really ruined Darnold’s career there..
  8. Looks like Darnold will be a career backup.. it’s over for him.. Gase ruined him... too bad Darnold was a nice prospect coming out of USC...went to the wrong team.
  9. I think we need to see more of Epenesa. Still so much more football to be played but I am highly encouraged by him.. I think he’ll be a nice player for us but you are right that DE is a premier position.. if you think a 10 sack per year guy is there, you take him. Period. I think we’ll be picking between 23-32... We have a huge need at DT right now but we need run stuffers, those guys typically don’t go high and I’m ultra sketchy about paying a DT top money because they have a tendency of going Albert Haynesworth or Marcell Dareus on ya when they get paid.. I’d love to be able and take a stud LB or CB with that first pick more than anything.. Imagine two shutdown corners! Or heck, adding a stud LB to the mix while retaining Edmunds and Milano makes this defense a lot better.. Or we could go guard or RT.. A OG or RT with that first pick isn’t sexy...but we need to protect Allen and get that run game going.. Really depends on whose there but DE, LB, CB, DT, G, RT.... All depends!
  10. Yeah.... two Super Bowls between Favre and Rodgers is embarrassing.. should have 4-5... Green Bay tends to draft QBs well (although I don’t like Love) but they fail to put good teams around them..
  11. I’m not scared of the Jets even if they get Trevor Lawrence.....Allen > Lawrence... the Jets organization is so terribly run to the point where they can’t get a good coach and if they did, they’d be 4 years behind our rebuild at that point.. don’t care how good Lawrence is...he’ll get ruined if he goes to the Jets... I had Darnold as my 3rd QB behind Mayfield and Allen and I believe in my heart of hearts that he could have been a good QB if he went to the right team.. solid arm, big frame, accurate...throws a beautiful ball...and the Jets ruined him.. if Darnold went to the Bills he’d probably be looked at quite differently right now.. no way in hell he’d be where Allen is at but I think he’d be good..
  12. I think Epenesa will be a player.. not saying he’ll be Mack or Bosa but I think that by the end of the year he’ll be established.. Addison and Hughes have also been good for us, not overly worried about DE but if a good EDGE is available, why not? Could see us drafting a stud DT to put next to Oliver also. We have more at DE than we do DT. CB, LB, TE and OL are all possibilities as well.. For a 3-0 team we have more holes than you’d think..
  13. Rosen, Darnold and Mayfield played for much bigger programs... better OLs, more weapons.. Allen played for a team that had little to no NFL talent.. So of course they looked at the stats, the saw these other guys completing 65% of their passes and Allen was at 55%.. They saw the highlight videos and all the TD celebrations with Eminem jam tracks playing in the back.. Then there were many like me, who saw a guy with an elite arm and just a gifted athlete overall with some mechanical issues, accuracy issues, maybe not as well coached up as the others and about as raw as could be for an NFL prospect.. we saw that he could be a top 2-3 QB if he got his issues worked out... many like myself wondered if he’d piece it all together... for that reason he dropped... little did we know he had the heart of a lion.. You can’t measure heart, but the talent has very much always been there.. Allen worked hard for years to get to where he’s at... now his coaching is even with Mayfield, Darnold and Rosen except he is 1,000x more talented than them and just about every QB in the league for that matter...the brains finally match the brawn....
  14. Sorry to disagree with some of my friends here but nope....
  15. Yeah cause 100 TDs to 41 INTs is the epitome of a walking interception. 😏 Mark my words, Wentz will rebound.. He is having a bad year but that’s cause his team sucks. Lets see your list! Ohhhhh yeah! That’s right! You don’t have one!! D’oh! 😏
  16. Mmmmm he has proven a lot more than some of these other QBs on the list.. 2017, 18 and 19 he was a very very good QB.. Eagles are in cap hell and that team will likely get blown up this offseason... Eagles cap management has been abominable.. I do think with the right team around him Wentz is a fringe top 10 QB.. if the Eagles move on from him they’ll be sorry!
  17. He’s good, he just gets hurt a lot and that team isn’t being run very well right now..
  18. 1. Mahomes 2. Wilson 3. Rodgers 4. Brees 5. Allen 6. Prescott 7. Watson 8. Goff 9. Wentz 10. Jackson 11. Ryan 12. Stafford 13. Carr 14. Cousins 15. Brady 16. Roethlisberger 17. Rivers 18. Murray 19. Burrow 20. Tannehill I will say that I think Murray and Burrow could easily easily easily be in my top 10 by the end of this year to mid next year.. Both are extremely talented and I think these two guys are stars in the making!
  19. I’d also like to see certain posts desexualized.. I’m not interested in whom you think has a nice rump. It’s inappropriate and perverted regardless of sexuality. It’s one thing if you make a comment every here and there... but if 99% of a person’s posts seem to be predicated on things of a sexual nature, in my mind that is highly highly highly inappropriate and unacceptable..
  20. Bear with me, I’ve only had one cup of coffee this morning and I’m waiting for the caffeine to kick in... anyways... Gunner, I’m not going to deny that our LBs had a bad game....but I think our DTs were being pushed all over.. Not sure if this is a coaching issue or not... I suspect that it is... As far as Edmunds and Milano are concerned, I think they’re both playing hurt and it doesn’t help that they were going against a brilliant offensive mind in Sean McVay.. I highly respect him as a coach and I think before his career is over he’ll have a few rings.. I’m not willing to blow up our LBs after one bad game.. Edmunds already has a Pro Bowl under his belt and I think him and Milano will rebound... There is no doubt in my mind that Buffalo desperately needs another LB to add to the mix - but I do think our defense recovers.. I think here on and so forth that Buffalo’s identity will remain as an offensive minded team but I do think our defense will become a top 10 unit again.. I’ll admit that Milano and Edmunds leave more to be desired as run stuffers, but as pass defenders they’re very good.. there is a big issue going on in our interior DL... not sure if this is a coaching issue or if it’s the players.. I do notice that since we’ve added Eric Washington I’ve been completely unimpressed.. if our DL keeps letting RBs into the second level, injuries will start piling up in our LBs and secondary.. completely underwhelmed with Oliver and our other DTs... our DEs I thought have looked very good, so I guess if there is a silver lining in the whole thing it’d be that... Addison, Hughes and even Epenesa I thought had a good game.. think we just needa be patient and let McD work out the kinks... think we’ll be fine and I do think Eric Washington is a good coach but big, not small adjustments need to be made.. I think we’ll be fine.. No reason to panic just yet..
