whatdrought

So, I signed up for fantasy on a flier even though I usually can't last much more than 2 weeks with it- that being said, my auto-draft (didn't even pay attention to the draft) did pretty well all around, and I am left with Carson Wentz and Russel Wilson... I am wondering if I should try and trade one of them for Josh....

If they're that bad early, which i don't doubt, their OL will be a huge part of that and their pre-school QB will be dead by week 6.

Just cause your players beat everyone, doesn't mean your team will...

Misleading Title? ?

Damn rodger goodell. Always stacking the schedule against us.

Doesn't this make the whole thing feel kinda stupid? These helmets have been proven to be unsafe to wear during the playing of football... But ya know, 16 to 20 games probably aint gonna hurt. Catch me back next year.

Warning: Extreme Homerism Ahead Week 1 - Bills 31 - Jets 10 - I think we hit the ground running. I think Allen looks good and throws all over that defense, and I think that Lev Bell looks exactly like you'd expect someone who hasn't played football in over a year, while Darnold struggles and throws two picks. 1-0 Week 2 - Bills 17 - Giants 13 - I think this ends up being a close game, and I think Barkley runs well for Giants. This will be a bit of a wakeup call after a week of buying superbowl tickets to only win by a couple, but I think it's a mature game that shows we can win however we need to- I think Singletary explodes on scene here, rushing for 100+. 2-0 Week 3 - Bengals 10 - Bills 27 - Bills get out to a quick lead in front of the home crowd, and then it becomes a boring, mistake filled game where the bills threaten to put it away but never truly do, and the Bengals threaten to rally but consistently shoot themselves in the foot. 3-0 Week 4 - Patriots 21 - Bills 31 - This game is a close back and forth through the first 3.5 quarters, Brady throws a characteristically terrible interception into the waiting arms of Levi Wallace on a 3rd and long that Wallace returns for 6. Oliver throws an offensive lineman to the ground and sacks Brady on 4th down ending any chance of "Tom Terrific" mounting his signature comeback. 4-0 Week 5 - Bills 13 - Titans 21 - Trap game.. Just when it looks like everything is going our way, we fall to a randomly hot Marcus Mariota and the titans. Allen throws a disgusting interception in the fourth (playing hero-ball) that has us going into the bye wondering whether we really do have the answer. 4-1 Week 6 - BYE Week 7 - Dolphins 0 - Bills 34 - After the up and down of the first quarter of the season, and the questions lingering from the titans game, Brian Daboll calls the best game of his life. Allen goes bonkers with a 66% completion rating, 305 rds, and 3 td's. The defense stifles the dolphins to the tune of 4 turnovers, 7 sacks (including two from Daryl Johnson). The game is over halfway through the 3rd quarter, and the bills go run heavy to end it. 5-1 Week 8 - Eagles 24 - Bills 21 (OT) Tough back and forth game between two teams exerting themselves as the upper echelon of the NFL. Eagles it due to a costly fumble by Shady in eagles Territory which gives them the ball in overtime. 5-2 Week 9 - Redskins 15 - Bills 20 - Fieldgoal game for Redskins. Bills offense looks to be out of sync and plays poorly at times, Redskins offense isn't in sync, it't in the toilet. Entirely forgettable football game, but we get the W. Jay Gruden is one week closer to gone. 6-2. Week 10 - Bills 20 - Browns 31 Could the Bills and the Browns be big hitters in the AFC? That's the question on minds as they square up in the rust belt. The Browns come in at 7-1 with the bills 6-2. It's a good game, but the browns are one step ahead throughout and take the victory and increase their lead in the AFC- important note here- Odell Beckham gets injured and is expected to miss significant time. 6-3 Week 11 - Bills 24 - Dolphins 13 - Another unspectacular game, with the highlight being the continued emergence of Devin Singletary as he busts 3 tackles on his way to a 75 yard score. 7-3 Week 12 - Broncos 10 - Bills 38 - Bills put on a show for the home crowd- Defense again shuts down the opposing team, Drew Lock playing for an injured Joe Flacco throws 3 interceptions (one on a deflection). Robert Foster reemerges in this game after a quiet first 3 months of the season and catches 7 balls for 129 yards and 2 scores (this made possible by John Brown missing the game due to a nagging hand injury) 8-3 Week 13 - Bills 28 - Cowboys 27 - Childhood dream comes true for me as I sit and watch the bills play on thanksgiving. Josh Allen has an up and down game against a great defense, but the bills deep stable of running backs gets the job done. Elliot hurts our defense throughout the game, but get's stuffed by Star in the last minute on the two point conversion attempt to tie. Bills win, I go enter 9 day food coma and wake up in time for the next game. 9-3 Week 14 - Bills 10 - Ravens 13 - Ugly slugfest by two of the best defenses on the planet- both Quarterbacks struggle to get any rhythm going and sustain drives. Ravens get a break when Earl Thomas causes a John Brown fumble late in the 4th. Lamar makes Oliver miss in the backfield and escapes for a 12 yard run on third and 10 and Tucker nails the game winner as time expires. 9-4 Week 15 - Bills 24 - Steelers 27 - A back and forth game where Josh Allen plays his guts out (literally, vomiting on the sideline due to the flu) and the Steelers defense gives him all they got. Barkley comes in for one drive in the fourth and throws a pick six. Allen returns and leads the tying drive (collapsing on the field in exhaustion after hitting Knox for 6) but Big Ben pulls out some magic and drives 80 yards in 34 seconds hitting James Washington on a deep crossing (Poyer cheated for the ball and missed) to set up the game winner. McD tries the Ice but it doesn't work. Bills lose two in a row for the first time this season, interconference loss hurts their positioning. 9-5 Week 16 - Bills 34 - Patriots 21 - The Bills come into Foxborro to face the 9-5 Patriots for the lead in the division. Again, the bills Jugernaut works immediately, causing all kinds of chaos to the patriots and taking a 20-0 lead into the half. We all hold our breath as the second half starts as we've seen this movie before- the bills play disciplined football, Tom Brady does Tom Brady things, but there's too much to overcome, and the bills defense is too good. Brady throws two interceptions in the second half and the Bills are in the drivers seat of the AFC East for the First time in a long long time. 10-5 Week 17 - Bills 27 - Jets 6 - Bills come into this game wanting to lock up the east, and get the first round bye (need the Chiefs to lose to the Chargers on SNF for that to happen). Bills play a thoroughly dominant game with a heavy run game that just beats down the Jets D. Sam Darnold throws two ugly interceptions to end his up and down season that leaves many in NY calling for his head. After his second interception in the first quarter, the Cameras catch Gregg Williams shouting at Adam Gase who stands looking into the distance- rumors swirl that Williams has been undermining Gase's authority since an ugly Week 9 blowout loss to the Dolphins when the wheels came off of the Jets Team. Leveon Bell, who has less than 800 yards rushing at this point in the season, takes himself out of the game and walks to the locker room in the second quarter after getting stuffed on 3rd and inches by Ed Oliver. Bills win handidly and win the AFC East for the first time in my lifetime. They seal a first round bye with a Chiefs loss. 11-5 Final: 11-5 - Victory in the Division Round against the Steelers, loss in the Championship against the Colts- Everything is looking bright in Buffalo, Colts lose to the Eagles in the Superbowl.

Due on February 2, his wife will go into labor just as the game starts and Jeremy will watch the Bills play the Cowboys in the superbowl while standing next to her, the 4 sons will be named Josh (obviously), Tre (a nod to T. White and T. Edmunds) Eddy, and Tommy (for Sweeney who catches the game winner).

"Allen’s stats were opposite Murray’s, but so were some other things. He was in an advantageous position all game, with many short-yardage down situations, a short field, and a strong run game." You luddites, don't you know that 8 rushes for 9 yards is a "strong Run game"? Someone posted this as a response, I hadn't seen it yet- good breakdown- Also, this response:

"Murray was in a tough spot to succeed all night. His average starting position was his own 17-yard line, and he faced 3rd-and-11 or worse five different times. " Do you know how you get into a 3rd and 11 situation?... do you? cause it seems like maybe you don't. What a schmuck.

And yet, the wait is not over, cause it’s still just the middle of freaking August. Ughhhh!

Fixed.

Sweeney will have 7 td's. Edmunds will have 4 sacks Oliver will get two interceptions Levi Wallace will lead the team with 6ints (2 for scores)

Yeah, that was a concern for him. Bulk and raw athleticism doesn’t do much without flexibility. If he’s smart, he’ll scale back on the weights and start doing yoga or something to gain flexibility.

I loved mike mayock. Why did he go to that ***** show?

This is the worst time for practice reports. Just get to the games please.

Kapernick Supporters: “OMG leave him alone, he has every right to express his opinion and protest even when he’s wearing his work uniform and on his employers property. This is America- it’s his choice. Freedom of speech, freedom of choice. Yass. America.” Also Kapernick supporters: “OMG I cant believe these racist old white owners (especially the one in Jacksonville whose had a terrible QB situation this whole time) are choosing not to hire Colin Kapernick. That’s so unfair. They can’t just choose to do that. That’s racist. You can’t just choose not to hire someone even if they might loose you money. You don’t have any freedom to choose who to hire if you’re a rich white person. Why are these people such nazi racists. It’s Trumps fault.”

This is fabulous.

My personal thing is, don’t get rid of guys who get to the QB. Whether it’s practice, or 3rd stringers in pre-season, sacks are all about effort and feeling. If they can do that on any level, there’s a chance they can do it against real deals.

I have thought for some time that Johnson might develop into a good player for us. people forget that while McD was a DB whispered in Carolina, he also got a lot of good production out of defensive linemen who were “nobodies”

Good move by the eagles.

No. I don’t. I fully believe everything I said. Feel free to disagree.
