No.
Then you must enjoy talking out of your backside or you truly don't know what you're talking about.

Been fun watching the Josh Allen experience you have going on.
I've been on record from the beginning saying the kid wouldn't succeed. I haven't changed my mind about that.
Of all the QB situations where there is a high rookie pick, Buffalo is the one where the kid you drafted was pretty much the best QB on the roster the second his name was called at the draft. Besides being on record about Allen, I am also quoted throughout this place saying McCarron and Peterson are known commodities of below average nobodies.
I still hope Allen succeeds. I can't help but think that every fan base is too critical or too optimistic about pre season football. I think this applies to Allen as well. No one is game planning against him. He is known to have a hard time with making reads. He is known to struggle under pressure.
The kid has a great arm...everyone knew it from the beginning. He can really sling that ball...and there will be some times when that arm overcomes a bad read etc...
I will remain skeptical of Allen until I have seen him perform against a D that is actually playing their scheme with their starters, gameplanning and all that.
Ryan Leaf had some incredible pre seasons....articles were written about how the Colts had screwed up the pick...all based on a few preseason games. Be Wary.
I take it you must be skeptical of Mahomes as well then.

I would love to see Kap, but he's being blackballed... Geno Smith would be a great Vet that can come in to play, but I don't think the Jets give him to us for cheap...
It's only 2-3 weeks... just let it ride out for now... get someone in for the practice squad. If not, then Matt Moore is the last option
Seriously? You realize Kap hasn't taken a snap since 2016 and Smith hasn't played for the Jets since 2016 as well right?

He's trash. Either he gets beat by his man or he takes a penalty. They really need to upgrade at this position.

I'm sure Ramsey will get the point after Coughlin blasts him.
Or not because if this was the regular season there is no way the team suspends him and he knows that.

I thought they outlawed that broomstick anchor putting, which was a great thing.
Putter is still legal, however, a golfer is no longer allowed to anchor the putter against his chest.

Well I guessed it. Somebody actually posts that Coach punted so as to evaluate a second string punter who has zero chance to make the roster. So a critical fourth and three situation close to games end is not an ideal situation to test your #1 pick and your offense; it’s far more important to test a punter and guys will not be on the team in 3 weeks. Genius insight
Did you watch that whole drive? I would have punted too just to get Allen off the field. The line was horrible that drive and Allen was running for his life.

just saying the threads are similar, that's all. Not saying the Mario signing was horrible, just that when all was said and done, Mario didn't pan out the way everyone hoped. The enthusiasm, hopes and expectations on this site were sky-high, and ultimately were ,at least in my mind, unmet. If this whole Mack thing happens, I would welcome it and hope things go great. I'm really not comparing the 2 players, or predicting that the results will necessarily be the same. Just remarking on how everybody was going crazy before we signed Mario, and it reminds me of what's going on now in regard to Mack.
Ok, I see what you're saying and it makes sense. I do wonder what percentage of people would consider the Mario signing a success or a disappointment.

I guess the Dolphin coach in 2016 'didn't play him right' either
As I said, Mack could be great. (please read my words). Just said the Mario and Mack threads resembled each other.
So I take it you do want Mack. You however make the Mario signing sound horrible then go on to compare the two as similar. I guess I'm just confused about the way you delivered everything.

shoulda woulda coulda, yet the Bills ended up paying about 67 mill of the 100 mill , 50 mill guaranteed contract for 3 years work (and remember these are 2012 salary figures). I'm just saying, things happen. Mack, if it happens , could be great, but the threads then and now share a certain resemblance.
So just to get this straight you don't want Mack because of what happened with Mario?

I'm enjoying these 19 pages as much as the next guy, but it's starting to sound too much like the Mario Williams threads before we signed him.. And we all know how that ended up. I'm not trying to compare the two players, just comparing the enthusiasm around the possible signing of each. There's the saying be careful what you wish for
Mario was an extremely productive Bill registering 38 sacks in his first 3 years here. Then Rex came in and we all know what happened after that.

I hear you and I agree that the Raiders should try and get what they can for him right now. I'm just saying that, if anyone thinks Shaq Lawson (or Hughes) and just one high pick in 2019 will get it done, they're sorely mistaken.
All depends on the Raiders desperation I guess

A 2019 1st and 2nd, a 2020 1st and a conditional 2020 pick. At least, that's what I would be asking for Mack, if I was Gruden.
Why lose Mack for nothing if you're the Raiders? No team is going to pay that price and the way things are looking is Mack is not going to show up anytime soon. So if you're the Raiders it would be better to get something for him than get nothing at all because he is going to walk next year anyways.

Dez to Cleveland I'm guessing

I love all the Captain Hindsight in here. Take a look at our 2014 roster and tell me where we needed help most. That Dline was stacked. The WRs might have been worse than this years going into the draft.
I don't think the wrs were worse than what we have this year. Watkins, Woods, snd Hogan are definitely better than what we have right now.

No, just dump some money into the current one and avoid those nasty PSL fees.

Now we add Vontae Davis to the mix.... A super physical corner who can play press man/ zone and is quick enough to play off man as well
He also is super physical in the run game... aggressive with keeping his contain and not afraid to throw his body around
A former all pro he brings veteran leadership and football savvy to the locker room
With Hyde and Poyer In the backend and White and Davis on the outside I see a top 5-10 passing D and a lot of pissed off QBs
Vontae is a headache for opposing WRs
If and only if he can stay healthy and return to his old form is this true. There is a reason he signed a 1 year low money deal.

I think you missed my point. Edmunds would play weak side on first downs and MLB in dime packages. You should check out what Bowman did last year in Oakland. Your way off on your statement there. Edmunds would be on the field all 3 downs. Milano , Bowman, and Edmunds on running downs, and then in dime packages Milano , Edmonds and a extra DB. To me this would strengthen a solid group and let Edmunds develop with less pressure. This would take Lorax out of the starting lineup and let him be a situational pass rusher and SP ace.
So you don't want Edmunds to be the qb of the defense but in dime packages you want him to be the qb of the defense? Why not just let him stay in the middle instead of moving him around. If you want to get Lorax off the field then go find a guy that plays his position that's better then him. Don't take a promising young rookie and move him from his natural position so you can upgrade a different position. Just upgrade the position in question.

I'm going to say it and get labeled a racist, but African Americans, according to FACTS, commit more crimes than Whites, hence, more police interactions. I'm sorry, it is simple logic
You can't use logic with some of these people. They will say your narrative is off and your facts are made up even when you cite your sources.

I didn't leave it out because that in itself is what the whole issue is about. Thats why there have been protests. African Americans have a greater chance of a police encounter, have a greater chance to have force used against them, have a greater chance to be incarcerated, have a greater chance to get shot. There is a real issue of racial inequality when it comes to the criminal justice system. It's undeniable. What needs to happen now are serious discussions as to why this is the case & how do we fix it. Thats one good thing thats come up from the protests. People say all the time that "can't these players protest another way?' Well some have, but you wouldn't hear about them. When you think about it, this issue would've never gotten the attention it has if it wasn't for what the players did. Its unfortunate that their narrative got hijacked by the media & administration & turned into something else than it was, but that's what happens to any movement against the status quo.
So off of this argument you are saying most cops, judges, and jury's are racist. That seems like a stretch to me (Unfortunately there are some who are I would imagine). I think the reason why interactions are higher is a combination of education and where people live. African Americans are more likely to live in a city and less likely to graduate high school. Both of these factors contribute greatly to the odds of someone ending up in prison. I think the real issue we face as a country is educating our youth. If we start there I think everything else will fall into place and eventually balance out.

Just now, brianthomas said:
While you are correct in that more white people have been killed by police, you need to look at the ratios per race. There are roughly 38 Million African Americans, while there are 247 Million Caucasians. The number of African Americans killed by police is a larger percentage of their population than Caucasians. Almost 5 to 1 i believe.
As you are correct but you're failing to note that African Americans have a higher number of police interactions than that of Caucasians.
Josh Allen to start Sunday

So again just like Mahomes. Go back and read the scouting report on Mahomes. If you're skeptical of Allen you should also be skeptical of Mahomes. If you're not you're just being a homer.
Just wanted to give you the link to his scouting report http://www.nfl.com/draft/2017/profiles/patrick-mahomes?id=2558125
