Victory Formation

I suspect Sean McDermott will be on that list one day.

It’s a crapshoot for bad teams. Occasionally a good team misses but for the well run franchises in the league they hit more than they miss...

In the day of having a salary cap and not being able to lock down every star player, which players do you think we should hand out contracts out to and who should we let walk? This is the new dynamic that GM Brandon Beane is facing. We have a deep deep roster and only so much cap space to go around. Look at the Cowboys and the way they’ve managed their cap, they have $5.6M in cap space and they went 8-8 last year. Who would you guys identify as cornerstone players and which positions do you guys value the most?

I wish I had something bad to say about this but I don’t. Flacco immediately comes in and helps mentor Sam Darnold. We all saw how Barkley helped Allen grow, now Sam has a savvy vet he can learn from. Good move for the Jets.

Allen.

I think Singletary will have a similar stat sheet in 2020 as he did in 2019. Moss will be getting lots of carries in short yardage and goal line situations so Singletary’s numbers will suffer. I could see Moss with 800 yds and 10 TDS while Singletary gets 800 yds with 4 or 5 TDS. Should be a really competitive competition at RB this year.

We have to be top 5.

I think Cody Ford could be an All Pro guard but given the lack of depth at RT, he may find himself starting at tackle. I don’t think he has the length nor the quickness to be a good RT. They’ll probably experiment with different combinations at RG and RT mainly Ford at RG and Williams/Nsekhe at RT. It’s his job to lose but eventually I think he loses the battle and ends up at RG and Feliciano goes to the bench. Spencer Long is signed through 2021 and Feliciano is a free agent so those two will be fighting for a spot on next year’s roster. I’m thinking Buffalo is hoping that Daryl Williams has a renaissance and returns back to form so Ford can go inside to guard where he belongs. In my mind, it’ll be: Dawkins/Spain/Morse/Ford/Williams RT would still be a potential need going into 2021, but I think Williams and Nsekhe should easily be able to match Ford’s production at RT. Williams may return to form, he may not, regardless Ford is an average RT and will be easily replaced. If he goes into RG though, we may have a Pro Bowler on our hands. I doubt Ford will be our starting RT, I think that’d be a mistake although I trust our coaching staff’s opinion over mine, I’m just thinking out loud. Anyways...

Wtf? Uh?

I wasn’t aware that Josh Allen scores a 37 on the Wonderlic, that’s incredible.

This could be a Melvin Gordon situation. Should let him test FA and see what his best offer is and match it.

I know you’re kidding but he’s still so young. There is a small portion of fans that ride him because he hasn’t met certain benchmarks statistically but he’s only 24, he’s still a baby. It’ll be interesting to see him when he’s 30. Gotta be patient, he has all the tools just needs some time.

How long til he gets sued?

I believe in forgiveness for first time offenders, harsher treatment for repeat offenders. Kid is 23 years old, there’s no hard drugs in the car, reduce it to a DUI. Only time I believe in extensive jail time is if that person has a problem and they need that time to sober up in the slammer. Some folks need that 6 months in jail otherwise they’ll never get sober.

Many cops will tell you to go right home if they catch you or to get a Uber. When I was 19 I got stopped and a cop told me to go right home, he was cool about it. From their POV though they’re trying to see if there’s any hard drugs in the car, so if they catch someone driving under the influence their main course of action is trying to find heroin, meth, pills etc. I’m kind of torn on this because some folks can only sober up if they’re in jail for 6 months on drug charges. Most DWIs will get reduced to a DUI if only alcohol is involved. Once again though they’re mainly trying to find the hard stuff.

He’ll probably flounder around as a top 10 QB for a year or two before he taps into his true potential. He came into the league as a really raw prospect and rough around the edges so in my mind I think he’ll be a late bloomer. May take him awhile intellectually to catch up with his God given ability. I perceive that he’ll be a top 5-6 QB eventually, may take a few years for him though. He’ll need a good defense and running game behind him to make him successful in the meanwhile. By the time he receives his next contract I think the rubber will have long since met road and things will have already started to come together for Josh Allen. Strikes me as a John Elway type of talent in Rob Gronkowski’s body. Looks like we’re building a good team around him. He needs to build up confidence though in his game, his humility will carry him far, just needs some experience and successes that he can build off of mentally as a QB. I think he’ll go down as the best QB in the 2018 NFL Draft, ahead of Darnold and Mayfield. Truly a special talent that many teams wished they hadn’t passed on. As fans we need to have patience with Josh Allen, it takes time to develop a franchise QB.

Thank you much, sir. I appreciate that. He’s still a kid in many ways to me, 23 is still quite young, he’s still a baby mentally. Once again, somebody should tap him on the shoulder and let him know, hey, do you want to make veteran minimum or maybe get a $100 million dollar contract? Alcohol and drugs will rob this man of his potential. Alcohol goes down smoothly but it bites like a serpent.

I was 23 once too. I get it. I’m not ready to crucify the guy but somebody should aware him on what drugs and alcohol can do to your life. I have 3 years sober on the 19th, wish I never touched the stuff at all. Can be the difference between him getting the veteran minimum with his next contract or him making $20 million a year, choice is his to make.

I think Singletary beats out Moss. Addison wins the job initially but Epenesa wins it by the end of the year.

I don’t think you trade Rodgers if you’re Green Bay.. You squeeze another 3 or 4 years out of Rodgers and bench Love until he’s ready. Personally, I think Green Bay really flubbed the dub on Love, I don’t think he’ll be a good QB even if he spends 5 years on the bench. I side with Rodgers, I think their draft sucked. Outside of AJ Dillon their draft is like a Doug Whaley draft. I don’t have faith in their coaching staff neither. Rodgers is an elite QB and the fact that they could only squeeze out one ring out of him is perplexing to me. If I were him I’d look to be traded. They won’t though.. Without Rodgers they’re a 5 win team. I don’t like how that franchise is run, they’ve done well in terms of finding QBs but have never been serious about building a roster around them. I don’t think Green Bay is committed to winning. Once again, without Favre and Rodgers they’re equivalent to the Ralph Wilson Buffalo Bills.

I don’t think that he’ll ever beat out Singletary as the primary back, but I don’t think he’ll disappoint as the secondary back either. Buffalo has a very deep backfield, Moss would start on many teams around the NFL, we’re very deep at RB.

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.
