ColoradoBills

Is Hackett on meth? That could answer a lot of questions.

Thanks Hackett, thanks for giving me some more ammunition when "donkey fans" try to give me crap. The one I'm already tired of using is "Bills got Josh Allen and Von Miller AND the Broncos 2018 starting QB on their team this year".

Obviously.

WTF???????????????????????????????????????

ROTFL.

I use his name often when talking to Broncos fans.

Seriously, the first time I seen him on local TV I was like who is Ejiro Evero. I figured he was some up and comer, but now I'm like WTF.

Maybe Hackett should have considered another DC instead of Ejiro Evero.

Hackett will run them till they puke.

LOL. Geno Smith making an argument he should of went #1 instead of EJ Manuel.

.....it better be for a joke. As for the game. Living in Colorado let me just say I am not a Broncos fan. The fanbase as a whole, is insufferable. FTR, since Peyton retired the donkeys have had a wagon train of some pretty, pretty bad QBs. They got some talent on the O (it's hurting some having their WR3 Tim Patrick on IR). Their D was very good last year and looks to have improved in FA. I will admit I'm curious to see how Wilson leads them.

After the Division champions I have a very hard time finding 3 other NFC teams who will make the Wildcard spots above them. That being said I also think with their schedule and the difference of the 3 teams that GB plays they got a good shot at the NFCN champs. Once the playoffs start in the NFC, I would not want to bet on who ultimately makes the SB. Some points I would make are: 1. I think the defensive minded HC Zimmer held back the offense for years. Their new HC Kevin O'Connell had been the Rams OC for the last 3 years. He should get the most out of Kirk Cousins. 2. Last year they led a lot of games only to play safe at the end resulting in losses. 3. Even with all that they only lost 1 game by more than 1 score. Vikes next 4 games are against the Eagles, Lions, Saints and Bears. That should tell if I'm full of doodoo or not.

Of course the money is always there. Just seems Lamar want a lot more than Josh Allen. If true, he wants $40M more on the same year-term contract as Josh. A bit lower in guarantees. BUT when Josh signed a contract with $150M in guarantees it was signed in his 4th year of his rookie contract. That $150M included his 4th and 5th year rookie contract guarantees. (That's part of the agents "Look at me numbers"). Lamar is signing in his 5th year option year and is essentially the same as JAs contract guarantees and he wants a $40M increase. Josh was smart IMO because he will play 2 years without injury worries on his signed contract. Lamar is gambling with a lot of money, and I personally think he is a fool but he's a grown man and can do what he wants.

OK, but then it could be said you'd want to add as many defenders as possible, zone it up and keep everything in front of them. Mahomes may still score but at least he'll do it at a slower pace. It's a tough choice, although what they did sure didn't work.

So true. Also, bad OLs stunt young QB development. For me, putting together a decent OL has to be one of the hardest things for a GM/HC to accomplish. You have 5 starters, and you just can't throw $s at it. Add at least 2 decent depth players and putting it all together for even 1 season (let alone multiple) has to be a nightmare. A team can have some weaker starters on the DL or WRs and still get production. It just takes one or two weak links on an OL for the whole unit to be subpar. Having the right high $ vets as anchors, a few guys on rookie contracts and some vet fillers all coming together to make a good unit just adds up to more misses (as a whole) than hits. Then trying to figure out schemes of blocking vs the players talent and having a balance of some sorts, between pass protection and run blocking.........well, I wouldn't want to try to figure it out. An OL coach like Kromer would have to have input as to what he needs. I'm hopeful that is what's happening in Buffalo.

Since TB left, BB has been playing a shell game with scheming all different things. I also think the Patriots mystique has helped them win some games. Starting at the end of last season all that started to fall apart. This year's free agency did not help the situation at all. BB has nothing left to work with and teams are smelling blood in the water. BB should have retired, but I truly believe that TB success without him is killing his ego.

It may for some in the short term. Cowboys are stuck with him for years. His contract is untradeable and has become a "poster child" of risk in creative cap financials. They started his contract with a void year and have already restructured him twice. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/dallas-cowboys/dak-prescott-19089/ So, if he does keep playing bad Jerry and the 'boys have their hands tied. I don't see anything like that happening (see my above post). General Note: When team use the Void Years and Restructures, most times it works out OK. When situations like this happen it can cause a team to blow everything up and start over. Restructuring players who get injured often and/or players whose play falls off is a killer. Especially when a player has a "No Trade" clause like Dak has. He can stop any trade he doesn't like.

Very upsetting.

$45M in Dead Money and IR cash doesn't help.

That was so bad on Dak.

The Vikes are my sleeper team in the NFC this year. I will look like I knew what I was talking about or be adding hot sauce to my crow.

Yep. Anything about any stadium will have "confusion" after it. 😄

Scoreboard confusion.
