I'm not sure Thomas is a move that makes sense at the moment. He's owed a significant amount of money and is a bit on the older side. That said, he is leaps and bounds better than anyone we have. If you can get him cheap, then I am all for it. Denver should sell low so they can get out of the contract.

I actually think there is a chance they re-assign Culley next year and hire Rob Chudzinski to work directly with Josh Allen. Maybe as an assistant head coach who just works with Josh. We never heard anything about Chudzinski being fired in Indy but he obviously doesn't work there anymore. I'm guessing he was asked to sit out a year and collect his paycheck.

Those are the best. Especially with happy ending.

Great point.

For those talking about John Brown, we offered him a contract this year and he turned us down. Why would 2019 be any different?

Maybe they are just looking for another return man if Marcus Murphy has to get more carries on offense.

I know we feel good about the cap space next year, but I for one am not excited about what's available. Unless you can somehow get LeVeon Bell or JaDaveon Clooney or DeMarcus Lawrence...all of who, probably get the franchise tag...I think it's just plugging holes. That said if I'm plugging holes my wish list might look something like this: WR Chris Conley - big upside in my opinion RT Daryl Williams - Panther who plays tackle C Mitch Morse - a center TE Maxx Williams - big young interesting guy CB Eric Rowe - zone corner who can do a lot of things CB Jason Verett - buy low on a guy coming off injury I also think you take a shot on a receiver like Josh Gordon or Martavis Bryant. You badly need talent there and the free agent class isn't very interesting. Donte Moncrief makes sense as well, but I'd want a guy with number 1 upside.

I stil think he is back for the Jaguars game, which comes after the bye. That allows him to start the last 6 games.

Teller likely needs work in pass protection at this point. But I like his potential and I still think they should give him a chance to play. Guys like Groy, Ducasse and Miller I think have a good chance of not being on this team next year. Go ahead and give Teller a chance to play. On another note, go trade for Forrest Lamp. He is healthy and ready to go and the Chargers just won't play him. Not sure why they are keeping him on the bench, but I do think there is a possibility of trade there.

His dad did some nice things for the Rams for a few years. I think its a nice fit for him.

Definitely not Papa Johns. I dont think KB is their type.

I wonder what Mia Khalifa thinks about all this

New Era sells low profile versions of a lot of their hats. This type of cap has a curved brim and makes you look less like the guy from the "pretty fly for a white guy" video. https://www.neweracap.com/All-Headwear/59FIFTY/LOW-PRO-59FIFTY/c/AHEL59

Most likely LaFleur wanted to call plays. McVay is the play caller there. LA didn't have to let him go, technically, but they did. I think he is the next young offensive mind hire, even though Tennessee has not been impressive.

Probably John DeFellipo or Matt LaFleur at that point.

The Rams were pretty openly mocked for hiring a guy as young as McVay. I don't think the Bills were ever in in him. Vance Joseph, Anthony Lynn, Harold Goodwin I remember being the rumors. Anyway, the Rams clearly made a great choice, but I am not sure he would have had the same amount of success here. Im not ready to call McDermott a failure, but he isn't getting results. Let's see how the team responds next week.

The result is the complete opposite of everything that McDermott preaches. The team looks soft, unprepared, they make a million mistakes, and are undisciplined.

Stanford is a ridiculous athlete who excels on special teams. He was apparently outplaying Darron Lee in NY but never got a real shot because Lee was the first round pick. As folz said up top, he's been injured and out of the lineup and that has likely hurt the special teams units. I think that is a lot of money for a guy with that role, but I guess I will have to wait to see his impact. Dimarco was basically the best fullback in the league for 4-5 years in Atlanta and simply hasn't been used very much here. I do think they really came close to signing Kyle Juszczyk a couple of years ago and when they lost him may have panicked and pivoted to Dimarco.

I meant more along the lines of pro personnel decisions. I feel like we continue to pass on guys like this who jump right onto the depth chart in a place ike Green Bay and contribute....but we continue to pass on them in the draft. You are 100% correct that their effectiveness has to be due to quarterback play. U looking for Brett Weir?

Sorry for this rant, but the thing that bothers me, and this is 20/20 hindsight but watching Valdez-Scantling and Eq St. Brown doing things in Gren Bay frustrates me. These are guys we passed on in the draft round after round. They weren't good enough for us, but they were good enough to crack the depth chart in Green Bay? It it just annoys me. I mean I like the upside of Siran Neal, but I'd rather have Valdez-Scantling who we had in for a visit and we passed on St. Brown for Ray Ray. It just feels off. Why can't we ever have long, high upside recievers around? Good enough for all the good teams, but not good enough for us? No we get all of the slow tiny ones.

Wilks is the new Vance Joseph. Guy who wasn't really ready to be a head coach. Comes in and ruins everything and gets fired in 3-4 years.

I could definitely use a shot or two. But yeah I got u. I think he was coming off a hernia or something, but the scouting people thought he was slow before that time at his pro day. I am a bit of a numbers guy myself, but one must admit, hurt or not, that is an alarmingly slow time. My other thing with Cam is I know he had a good camp but I don't remember him doing anything in pre season games. Like I said I hope he lights the world on fire, but I highly doubt this is Stevie 2.0. I hope I am wrong!

I think we are missing Woods. He was heart and souls and really intense. There is nothing like that in the receiving corps. Seems like there is not edge or leadership there.

I wish him the best but he has very small hands, he is not big, and ran a 4.79 40. For comparison a guy like KB at 6-5, 245 ran a 4.61. Obviously I hope he does great, but numbers like that don't often project.

I believe Josh when he says this is a blessing in disguise and I kind of feel the same way. If you think of the first part of the season with more of a preseason mentality like Bill Belichick, then Josh is right. His first few starts were filled with ups and downs and he got a feel for the game. Now he gets an opportunity to take a step back and watch the game a bit and take mental reps and things of that nature. So I am kind of looking at this weekend's game as the first game of the season, and the first half of the season as extended pre-season. Now we get what we kind of wanted all along. Allen got his feet wet with some valuable game experience, and now he gets to watch a veteran play, and hopefully come back in and make an impact when ready. This was a clean way to pull him back and out of the starting lineup without having to hurt his confidence and progress. It's not a demotion because he is hurt. And if the team feels like keeping him out longer, I think it is fine. There are ten games left. So let's say Josh sits for the next 3-4 weeks and ideally returns for the Jets game, or after the bye, we are in a good spot because he can re-enter the starting lineup and hopefully be ready to roll. What is nice about that, is you have the Jets twice, the Dolphins twice, and NE and Detroit (who run similar systems). That makes gameplanning a bit easier and we can really see Allen make adjustments in a short period of time facing teh same teams and concepts more than once.
