Kudos for him not throwing the ball to his best playmaker in the second half, after the first half Sammy had??

Let's dissect this post: they make a lot of money so they can afford the Sabres and Bills; so they bought the teams because they make a lot of money and for no other reason. Hmmm. Perhaps there's more here than meets the eye, such as if you make a lot of money you undoubtedly buy a pro sport franchise? Hmmm. Right about TP but wrong about RR. Prior to B's first season as head coach of the Pats, I don't believe he had ever been an NFL head coach whereas Rex has a bit of a record in that regard. Plus B quickly became a great head coach; we're still waiting for Rex.

He's done it before to no avail as well. It depends on whether the latter cancels out the former in a particular situation or the rexryan interpretation leads to losses.

A bunch of overrated coaches, starting at the top. Rex remains clueless. He blitzes the hell out of Brady but decides Smith should get a pass. The play calling is very questionable as are the challenges. The special teams are far from special. Watkins is going nuts in the first half so it's decided he needs a break in the second half. You have a weak place kicker who can't get the ball near the end zone and misses extra and a so called specialist, taking up a roster spot, whose kicks are frequently being returned. One could go on and on. Someone please send this thread to Mr. Pegula.

As long as we keep it up.

EJ

His regression as a player has been because of a variety of injuries and his difficulty in adapting to being a drop back passer, which the Redskins have wanted him to become because of the injuries and their impact on his speed and elusiveness. The Catch-22 is that he cannot adapt if he's not playing, which is the case now. The celebrity status stuff is overblown by the press who are looking for stories. It certainly wasn't mentioned or a factor in his rookie year. Griffin is basically a quiet, articulate guy from a military family who doesn't identify, and apparently hang out, with the many under-educated and boisterous types he has to play with. They resent it and this has hurt him publicly. The press has even gone so far as to elicit comments from individual players in this regard. It's, overall, a nasty situation, especially when, on top of everything, your coach dislikes you and publicly says so.

I'm no longer a Griffin fan and don't believe the Bills should pursue him, but how has he not dedicated himself? He's been physically ruined by one coach and publicly abused by his current coach and by the press. The Redskins have attempted to totally change his game, which is difficult for someone who's never been a pocket passer and has had limited opportunity, because of injuries and benchings, to adapt to being one. Griffin has dedicated himself to once again become healthy. But the Redskins, understandably, will not play him because if they do and he gets injured they'll have to pay him a big, upcoming bonus even if they intend to rid themselves of him, which is clearly the plan. You appear to have swilled the generously poured Kool Aid about this guy. He needs a new start but it shouldn't be in Buffalo. He also needs to get a break from being made out to be something he's, by the facts and circumstances as we know them, not.

Too bad about Kyle but he's a battler and will get himself back if he really wants it, which apparently he does.

No. Griffin desperately needs a change of scenary. But Taylor has a better feel for the pro game and Griffin will never be the quarterback he was his rookie year as injuries have limited his mobility and speed. He was a terror as a rookie with his running and scrambling, which helped his overall game. You can thank Mike Shanahan for the come down.

No, OL is a must unless free agency is gift giving. We also need a linebacker and safety, but they come later.

You're a bit early. That's next years blessing.

Who would give anything more than a 4th or 5th for EJ, if that? He's shown nothing.

As far as recent picks go, Watkins, Woods were bad picks? They're both underutilized but far from bad picks. And I don't believe they ever played lacrosse.

The Pegulas, with a big period.

Hogan is reliable and can play on my team any time. Players, all of them, make mistakes. If you want to nit pick every player in the league you'll find that to be the case. Yes, he's no Julian Edelman but he produces. We have plenty of players who are not near as consistent as Hogan. Where do we begin?

Who cares, really?

Yes, refs even blow their whistles by mistake. Poor play calling is an understatement. Third and an inch and they run a sweep, unsuccessfully.

He was never very good.

He's still a "rookie" starter and has shown more than many do. However, he has to learn to see the field better and find secondary receivers. That appears to be his biggest problem right now. It may never be fixed but, again, it's early.,

Pretty unlikely unless it's a game critical to both teams for a playoff spot.

If I've had a good week I need to balance it out by watching the Bills play.

He really needs to go.

Woods always shows up. They throw to him early, he catches the ball, and never sees it again.
