  1. That's what I was wondering. I thought he'd be selling patio furniture by now.
  2. I watched quite a few CLE games and he seemed like decent rotational guy. He's a guaranteed 4-5 sacks a year. Maybe I was used to watching him ball out as a Jet so I'm rating him higher than I really should. Unfortunately, he's not really the type of space eating DT we need. From what I remember he's more of 3T penetrator and can line up @ defensive end in certain packages. After doing a little research I see that he was a part of some top defenses against the run. Competition is always good in training camp (if we have a training camp.) At age 30, I feel like he still has gas in the tank and will have no problem if Buffalo goes that route, although I seriously doubt it. What made you come this conclusion? I'm not challenging you, I'm genuinely curious. I've never known him to be a cancerous locker room presence or even a slight diva.
  3. Finally someone who understands. Anybody who suffered through the Nate Peterman era knows how valuable that is. Instead of disliking every post I make w/ your stupid little puke emojis why don't u write something halfway intelligent instead of "so and so SUCKS, this guy is terrible, etc etc etc." You're all hyperbole and no substance, bro. That's my problem w/ u @Teddy KGB the moment u said Bellichick can't coach made u ignorant in my eyes. You probably only watched Bills games your whole life anyway Lol case in point.
  4. Compared to the guys in there before him (minus Orton) he was a breath of fresh air in the beginning and his ability to extend plays was exciting. Bills fans worth their salt knew he wasn't the long term answer from the beginning. I will always defend the guy because he helped end the drought and he seems like a good classy dude. Yes, I'll agree that he was frustrating. Putting up 3 points in a very winnable playoff game where the defense layed it all on the line was painful. He played it way too safe, but he also didn't fumble or throw interceptions much so u have to take the good w/ the bad.
  5. And yet teams in transition keep signing him every single year. They trust him enough to hold the fort down until their guy is ready. The guys started like 3 games since he left Buffalo so that's hardly big enough of a sample size. Maybe our opinions differ on what "terrible" is. Terrible for me is Nate Peterman, EJ Manuel, Ryan Leaf, Jamarcus Russell, etc. Taylor is a low-end starter/high-end backup material. Bottom line being you could do a hell of a lot worse.
  6. That sure is a lot of hate for a guy that was a key part of breaking the playoff drought. And where did I say anything about Tyrod being a starting QB and how much he should get paid? And just to entertain your comment, u honestly think he isn't worth more than the vet minimum as a backup? High end backup QBs make anywhere from 5-10 million a year. Even 3rd string guys average a million, freaking Blaine Gabbert made 2 mill last year and you think TT is worth less than him? A team like the Cowboys would've killed to have a guy like Tyrod Taylor in there when Prescott went down to manage the offense. Nobody said he was a great QB, but he's a valuable backup that doesn't turn the ball over and adds a dimension to the offense w/ elite scrambling ability. What a stupid comment. Of course u won't use things like facts or common sense to prove me wrong other than "Tuhrod sucks blah blah blah." No, he isn't a starter, but he wouldn't constantly be in the market as a valuable bridge QB if he sucked.
  7. True and yes, it IS hard to maintain that strategy. A great passing offense requires less players to maintain good production, you just need a handful of core players like elite QB, 2 great receivers, (TE or WR) LT, and Center. Obivously there are exceptions, but generally u can be a perennial playoff team if u are strong @ these positions. With your Brady and Manning's you just need a line that can block for 3 seconds. For a power running offense and elite defense it requires so many different working parts to stay elite. Generally, elite defensive Superbowl caliber teams have a 2-4 year window to compete. Seattle's legion of boom for example. They had their 3 year run, went to a couple Superbowls, and fortunately got one title out of it (2 if their idiot coach ran Lynch instead of throwing it at the 3 yard line.) After that they lost players to free agency and aging. They've gone a different route and got themselves a true elite #1 and built their offense into a dominant passing one. It's easier to build a great defense than it is to find an elite QB (see the Bills all throughout the drought) but I feel like an elite defense comes around once or twice a decade so both are equally rare. Teams w/ elite offenses have a 10-15 year window to win titles so it makes much more sense to find your franchise QB.
  8. Most definitely a pipe dream. Speaking of pipes, let me have some of what's in yours 🔥🌿
  9. I have to admit that it would be more of a splash pick and I'd be way more excited, but they did the right thing in the end. I think it's a win if just one the top 2 edge rushers becomes a great pick.
  10. This is exactly why I take nothing for granted.
  11. This screen name sure is a blast from the past.
  12. Roger Goodell destroying the evidence was a huge red flag to me. If it wasn't such a big deal and "every team does it" as Pats fans like to quote then what's to hide?
  13. Injured or not he averages about 1500 yards a season.
  14. Holy COW! I have the same birthday as Josh Allen? How tf did I not know this? 😦
  15. Hopefully they learn from the AFCG like they learned from "Hail Murray." McDermott doesn't strike me as a person that makes the same mistake twice. This was a hugely emotional loss and they are going to build from it. 3 edge rushers from the top 2 rounds this and last year is a start + the experience playing in big games. I think we will look back @ that game as the first stepping stone to the Buffalo Bills dynasty. (Yes, I'm a Homer.)
  16. The bills caught lightning in a bottle TWICE w/ both Josh Allen and McDermott. Sometimes I have to pinch myself to remind me that I'm not dreaming. 😅 Unfortunately, I was a toddler during the Superbowl years so I never got to experience them. I started as a die hard Bills fan @ the onset of the drought so all I knew was misery. The silver lining of all of this is that I do not take their success for granted @ all. I soak in all of the joy of each and every win. No matter how up & down life can be sometimes at least we have consistency and greatness at One Bills Drive. God Bless Buffalo! ✝️🕯️🙏
  17. Another Sonic Youth fan on a football forum 😦 Imagine that! Kim Gordon is actually originally from Rochester which is cool bc that's where I was born. Thurston did her dirty though. I would never cheat on someone as beautiful as her. Anyways, lmao definitely one of the most underrated & original sounding bands of all time. They were so ahead of their time that people are still trying to catch up.
  18. Hey, I'm not against it as long as she earned it. May the best man (or woman) win.
  19. Tyrod is good if you want to go .500 in a season (actually that's not possible anymore, but u get the point.) If your team has a great defense/special teams/running back u could squeeze out a wildcard if the planets align and u get help from other teams. All of this is possible, but I just don't see the point and why teams think this way. They need a new franchise QB and they're better off tanking it. I don't get why teams sign guys capable enough just to break even and lose out on a top QB in the draft. If you already have your guy then a bridge QB like Fitz or Taylor can be a valuable teaching tool. If the Texans were in a long playoff drought like Cleveland and Buffalo a few years ago then I understand trying to compete @ all costs to give the fans some hope, but @ this stage they are better off sacrificing their season and thinking ahead for the future. Just my 2 cents go as far as signing "bridge QBs" BEFORE u have your future guy.
  20. I thought the garbage plate was a Rochester thang?
  21. If Aaron Rodgers goes to New England better put me on suicide watch.
  22. As a Bills fan, I would love to see Cam Newton to start for New England opposed to Jones. MJ seems to me the most pro-ready guy minus Lawrence and I think with a strong defense they can get to 8-8 - 9-7. I'm just not sure if his ceiling is high enough. McCarron also had a stellar career at Alabama and besides being more physically imposing I'm wondering what else Jones can bring to the table. If he can at least be average then New England will be able to compete.
