Tyrod's friend

Watkins played on two different teams ranked #1 in offense. Sammy was a key contributor to those teams, although not the sole reason. Zay Jones plays on one of the worst offenses in the game. I suppose that is a different way of oversimplifying it.

who cares? Is Nick O'Leary on a 70 catch pace or something? If he had stayed in Buffalo, would he have been? I mean, we've lost 7 games and the reason has something to do with the 3rd or 4th best TE ... not that we don't have an offensive line for a ***** or we didn't adequately have QB resources? Thank goodness we are focused on the right part of the roster construction.

First, I could care less if McCoy is on the team. He shouldn't be. But you are asking me to extend, to bring to the team, new added problems. I could add that there is no video of Shady, no proof and he is, to this point, being investigated but cleared as of right now. Not quite the same thing Hunt. Second, what in the name of all that is good does Ray Rice have to do with this? Does a player have to descend to Rae Carruth? Are there somehow a degree of culpability in striking a woman? Does it have to be as bad as what some other piece of scum did, to make it beyond what is acceptable to how you want your mother, daughter, sister treated? On top of that, he lied to his team and to management. A team is bigger than a player, any player. At any rate, there isn't a chance in HELL that the Pegula family would bring this POS into town. Thank god.

without going through all the responses, I'm sure others have noted - this is not a singular event in his lifetime. Putting it a different way - I've never raised a hand to a woman in any way, shape or form and I have been physically attacked. No excuse, none, and no place in our locker room.

bang on.

sounded to me like a leader, of his city, his organization and his team. If it had been our team, and the coach gone to New England ... and the QB suddenly flourished after the coach left? Buffalonians would be bursting with pride. Don't fool yourself. Like I said when he was in the draft - I would have looked forward to the day he waved the team flag in the end zone in Gillette. Good luck to him in Cleveland.

Didn't both QBs have some sort of college video of them doing tricks with passing the ball? Definitely behind moving Dawkins to guard. My understanding, btw, is that Teller played a pretty fair C in college as well.

gee i wonder who the odd man out will be ...

whereas KB never served a purpose.

I certainly would have graded Teller a bit better than a B-. After reading his scouting report from the draft I thought he did a great job "finding work to do" and showed every bit of aggressiveness that apparently he had in 2016. And I thought his movement was pretty good on pulls. That said ... B, perhaps even a B+. It was a good place to start.

he would have said ten, but he didn't realize you can use your thumbs to count.

“If you have two friends in your lifetime, you're lucky. If you have one good friend, you're more than lucky.” ~SE Hilton. (no offense, Kirby). My wife has much the same feeling about the time I spend on websites like these, Augie.

I thought the Ravens drafted him.

what is the difference? I mean, at the end of the day, our QB isn't making the throws to the WRs that are open, today, right now. Giving him more or better wide receivers (and we can leave that question as whether or not players were fakers. OMFG) isn't going to change the outcome of your rookie QB. If he doesn't throw the ball he is going to continue to have the worst offense in the history of football.

Of the four QBs, one leads literally the worse offense in the history of the NFL. Honestly, in the history of the league for chrissakes. The same QB has, in 17 starts going back to 2017, thrown for less than 100 yards six times. I honestly don't care how bad the other guys have been. When you have the reins of the worst offense in the history of football, you have separated yourself from the other guys. Period.

six games out of 17, less than 90 yards. The bum is Josh Allen - by your standards.

Most famous TJ name this year? Jake deGrom (best pitcher in baseball). It's tough, but it's not the end of the world.

OK. Good for you. Again, there was nothing in that interview that smacked of him hiding behind his faith. He was asked direct questions and when the answers were about his belief system, he responded in that way. You couldn't have been more off base. And yeah, both your comments smacked of either not knowing what being saved by Grace is, or understanding how it motivates an athlete and to me definitively having a bias - because you couldn't have come to that conclusion without the bias by listening to what he actually said.

Yeah, you couldn't be more wrong if you tried. You are bringing what I think is a basically bigoted approach about faith and God to what actually transpired in the interview. "what happened"? "Yeah, I shouldn't have checked down. I can't make more of it than that; I screwed up" .... somehow that transfers to hiding behind his faith. Or no it didn't. "how do you remain positive?" "I know my identity, put everything into a game I love ... but basically it's game and I'm a believer in God". Maybe you don't know anyone that is saved by Grace, and that's too bad for you. But his FAITH is what helps him remain positive. "do you worry about how many chances you'll get" "I just take it day by day" From what I've heard, that is the most standard athlete response in the world. "what do you mean by your true identity?" "I'm a child of God. I don't find my identity in football". Yeah, sure sounds like he ducked that one. Again, if you don't know what it's like to be saved, try it. But this is who he is, who any Christian is. "how hard is it to go from the highs to the lows" "it hurts for me, for my teammates that tried for 60 minutes and I let them down." Yeah, that religion, huh? "what about the support you get from your teammates" "yeah it's been incredible" ... so apparently the only here offended by his faith is you. he follows that up by talking straight football - because they are straight football questions. You might want to check your clear anti-Christian bias at the door. There was nothing in that interview that was weak or deflection. What is weak is your take.

Shady McCoy, Charles Clay, Kelvin Benjamin, even Zay Jones. Compare that to what Baker Mayfield has to work with, Sam Darnold with the Jets supporting cast. Not to attack, but it strikes me that line of thinking is lazy. There is a part of Josh Allen that is on "repeat". 6 of his last 17 games have resulted in passing yards around 80 (part games, whatever). The same guy that jumped over Anthony Barr thought it might be a good idea yesterday to physically challenge a linebacker on a scramble and then prolly was surprised when a 340 pound lineman hit him simultaneously. The crazy interception in his first pre season game has replayed itself numerous times already. The two are connected; the idea that he really wants to be Brett Favre, that he purposefully avoided check down passes in college and went for the big gains ... all of it. I can imagine that someone that plays that way would appeal to a fan named "Alphadawg", just like it doesn't appeal to fan named "Tyrod's Friend". Cheers.

Fair enough. You simply cannot expect a 5th round pick to be an NFL quality starter in either their first or even second year. A team that puts NP behind center, on the road, against one of the best defenses in the NFL at the time gets what it deserves. It's absurdity; it's the same level of thinking that puts a WR coach in control of a rookie QB, or an ownership group that learned absolutely nothing about pairing a defensive HC (Rex) with a zero as an OC and then puts Brian Daboll in a room with a raw player like JA. I grew up in NY Metro and I'm a long time fan of the Mets. Our manager put a presumably defensively talented rookie first baseman in left field, without the proper glove to play the game (oh yeah. At the same time, the guy playing first base really wasn't a 1B). You don't have to study game tape or understand football at a D-1/pro level or watch every practice to realize when you are watching incompetence in any sport.

Agreed - Bruce was the real all time great. Josh is literally the worst QB in the NFL when the other team puts anything like pressure on him. Not sure how that translates into "the game doesn't seem too big". Why would people say that? Because he scrambles around and often makes horrific decisions, either with the ball or with his body? That run towards the end of his stay, where he decided to challenge the linebacker and was simultaneously hit by a 340 pound lineman, just for an example. His leap over Anthony Barr is a screaming example of what is wrong with that man. It is BAD football, and he continually is writing checks his body cannot deliver on a consistent basis either through the air or on the ground.

This is exactly what I would have hoped he would have said. It's exactly what any Christian would have hoped to have him say. I don't know for a second what you are suggesting he said or would have wanted him to say. In fact you have a pretty comprehensive knowledge of the guy and knowing his past in college - did you expect something different? He owned his mistake, said it was a bad read, and when asked how he keeps his head up he acknowledged that whether he wins or loses he is more than football, he is a man of God. Good for you, Nate. Overmatched in the NFL? Sure. But to those that wanted to listen and learn instead of stand in idiotic judgement he gave a great lesson right there. I'm a huge fan of Peterman as a human being. But not having CK on the roster to begin with is inexcusable. Actually starting Peterman - who was over his head as a 5th round rookie last year, and hadn't really stepped up in pre-season - that's just a slap in the face to not only this fan base but the entire fan base of the NFL.

Good for you to get to some practices; too bad you weren't in the lockerroom any more than I was, nor listening to the position coaches. 84 72 82 64 92 70 Look at what he did against the Bengals the only time he faced the first string defense - it was a repeat of what any person has seen watching him over the last two years. Having a few good throws when the game wasn't on the line or the top players weren't on the field means jack. Tossing some balls around in shorts - really? That's what helps you make your decisions? On what basis do you think that Josh Allen is even the slightest bit better than Nathan Peterman, other than presumably a strong arm - even now? He's just a different sort of horrible. He has "led" the worst offense in the history of the team and in the game against Houston managed to digress to WORSE than what he was in college. LMAO. Sure. I'm an imbecile. And you are deluded by some sort of magic bean optimism. WTFU.

No argument. Even though I believed NP should have started the regular season, I never believed he could make all the throws - only that timing and anticipation can make up for speed. Not to bring up a sore point, but Drew Brees has done a pretty good job of proving that idea. But because of he didn't show potential, he didn't lose the competition. Josh Allen needed to win the competition and he clearly didn't, and what you've seen since the Bengals game also has been a repetition of more of the same. No QB evolved and it seemed as if AJM digressed. Perhaps saying NP won is an overstatement - Josh Allen lost the competition. NP never revealed his weakness but Allen sure did. Now, I can't say that I'm surprised. You put the kid in a room without a veteran voice, give him a WR coach as his position coach, and have an OC that is looking for mismatches instead of see/react, and you get what you get. Cheers, sir.
