I was just about to say I imagine the Eagles are pursuing Peterson. Also think the Tampa Bay Buccaneers could very well be in on him too.

The Cardinals are at -92 point differential. Buffalo is -94, so it's actually really close between those two.

After this week's ratings come out, I predict that Darnold, Rosen, and Allen will all be in the bottom 4 of starting QBs according to PFF. All 4 of the rookies are in the bottom 5 based on ESPN's QBR as well, and if you add up the Week 7 QBRs of each of the rookies that started, they barely edge out Derek Anderson.

It doesn't really change much, but for the record, these guys actually have the following number of fumbles: Darnold: 3 Mayfield: 4 Allen: 4 Rosen: 3

If it's any consolation, Derek Anderson's QBR this week was 25.2. The three rookie QBs this week COMBINED for a QBR of 26.7. It was a tough week for the rookie class lol

Even as somewhat of a Tyrod supporter, I'd still make the trade that they did. The first pick in the 3rd round for Tyrod was a great deal. Having said that, as I said throughout the offseason, it was clearly going to be a step back at the QB position this year. It was pretty much guaranteed that Peterman would be a downgrade from Tyrod; and both Allen and McCarron were almost certainly going to be worse.

That's not true. Certainly it can't be any worse than it is right now! Surely this is the bottom, right?

Yes.

This is actually an interesting question. My quick answer without thinking about it much is probably 2. Maybe 4 if we're being optimistic. I think the Bills OTs are better than New England's. I think you could debate McCoy > Michel and Clay > Dwayne Allen if Gronk is still out next week.

Yes, but to which team?

Seriously, he seemed to playing okay (and I use that term relatively compared to the QB play we've had all year) and then I flipped the game off and a couple minutes later he had somehow turned it over like 4 times. Like what actually happened? lol

If Allen is still struggling by the end of the year, then McDermott and Beane will get the offseason to address the team's needs and they'll move forward with Josh Allen as the starting QB for his sophomore year. If instead he's playing well by the end of the year, then McDermott and Beane will get the offseason to address the team's needs and they'll move forward with Josh Allen as the starting QB for his sophomore year.

Yeah, I thought it was something like that. Yeldon will definitely be an option for Buffalo if they're interested in him/if they decide to move on from McCoy.

I'm fairly confident Yeldon is walking this offseason even before this trade happened. No sense in Jacksonville spending big money on a backup RB when they already have cap issues as is (if I remember correctly)

He really hasn't been remotely a stud. He's been a terribly inefficient runner for them and an absolute trainwreck as a pass blocker too. We'll see if Chubb does better, but I'm not sure this is a big loss unless Chubb gets hurt.

I don't think Hyde demanded a trade and I don't expect Landry to do so either. Cleveland's been pretty decent this year and Landry is getting a ***** ton of targets to boot. I doubt he's really unhappy right now. I'd guess Cleveland is more likely to acquire another WR than to trade one away.

Obviously things will change as we get closer to the draft, but man, some of DraftTek's rankings seem like they're way, way off. Like they have Devin Bush and Riley Ridley ranked as 5th or 6th rounders...I know McShay currently has Bush as a 1st round pick and I know the guys at The Draft Network all think Riley Ridley is like a 1st or 2nd round pick.

If he comes out, yeah. Not sure he'll want to come out if he's only going to be like a Day 3 pick when he could be a top 10ish pick the following year.

Thank god. I'm in a very deep fantasy league in which the only options for a QB this week (while Wilson is on Bye) were Anderson, Peterman, and Lamar Jackson. A guy ahead of me on Waivers picked up Peterman and left me with Anderson lol.

I’d take Oliver but I’d be damn happy with either one. Also think I’d probably lean towards trading down if I can get a decent return.

According to David Chao, that is a possibility if Allen requires surgery.

I don't think anyone can really give an informed opinion of what to do with each pick until we know where the picks are, but I'd say the team's needs are, probably in this order: 1. #1 WR 2. #2 WR 3. O-Line, specifically interior 4. #2 CB 5. TE 6. RB 7. DT 8. DE 9. Backup QB 10. 3rd down RB Having said that, if Buffalo ends up picking top 2 and choose not to trade the pick, I'd probably take Bosa/Oliver.

I personally did not see most of the game so I can't confirm whether or not the refs were actually letting this stuff go throughout the game. My point is that it's a blatant penalty. If the refs screwed up earlier in the game, then they screwed up. Refs are supposed to call penalties when penalties occur regardless of the situation and in the case of the Sherman penalty, they made the correct call. If you want to argue that they missed similar calls earlier in the game, I can't really argue that since I didn't see it, but there's really no argument to be made that what Sherman did is not a penalty.

Just some perspective, here's Ed Oliver compared to the first DT taken in each draft this decade (plus Gerald McCoy since he was also considered one of the best DT prospects we've seen in a long time). Outside of Aaron Donald, nobody is even remotely close to him in terms of tackles for loss and outside of Donald, he's pretty close to everyone in terms of sacks.

He's definitely behind the other 1st round QBs right now, but that's okay. He was always supposed to be behind them his rookie year. Beane didn't draft him for how he thought he'd play as a rookie; he drafted him for where he thinks he can get to in a year or two.
