Jackson should've got an extension first. He is our whole team. Other teams are finally realizing that and defending us accordingly.

Just get to 10 wins. That should be enough to get us into playoffs. Looking ahead in the NFL is foolish. We were 0-8 and playing good football by the end of the year.

Skins looked bad, but we were still getting after it. Pass rush seemed to finally be the focus. Felt we played the 1st part of the season too tentative from getting the ball run down our throats last year.

I think Luck is worthy of all the hype he's getting. Definitely nit-picking, but 2 things that might cause him to not live up to the hype in NFL are the difference between being a true student-athlete at Stanford and professional NFL QB. Guys at football factory schools are basically professionals already. Also, he seems to be a bit of a system QB. Stanford is a power-running team and Luck rarely gets in 3rd and long situations. Everything seems so controlled there and when he inevitably lands on a bad team, he doesn't have the physical tools or experience of a Cam Newton who had to make plays all the time.

Agree with most of this, but someone like Newton even Eli would have been able to complete those passes throwing off their back foot. Fitz needs to step into his throws to get zip on the ball. The problem I saw against the Giants was that Fitz was indecisive. When he gets into a flow, he knows where he wants to go pre-snap and the ball comes out of his hands right away letting him step into his throws. Too many times on Sunday, he was getting to the line of scrimmage with less than 10 seconds on the play-clock and sometimes less than 5 seconds. It didn't give him a chance to read the defense pre-snap which is his greatest strength as a QB. Don't know what the issue was with getting the plays in on time, but it took away Fitz's greatest strength and was an issue on that last pick.

Seems like they're happy just not having a team run it down our throats like last year. Playing Carrington and Johnson at OLB instead of Moats exhibits that mindset.

Love Gailey and Fitzpatrick's aggressiveness. That being said, Bills defense yesterday must've drove Gailey nuts. Sitting back and being picked apart by Manning was painful. Not sure what Moats has to do to get on the field more. He was the only guy who got close to Manning.

That play, like many others was rushed to beat the time clock. Happened way too many times yesterday. Fitzpatrick and Gailey both seemed a little indecisive. Up 14-10 and driving, Fitz took a bad sack where he waited far too long. Also think the swirling winds made Fitz lack some confidence in throws he normally makes.

Gonna have to put up a lot of points to win this game. Need some big plays from Spiller and Smith. Maybe this will be Smith's break-out game in his old stomping grounds.

I doubt Parrish is in Buffalo next year. Easley is an after-thought at this point as he has never played a down in a regular season-game. Lloyd seems like a Gailey/Fitzpatrick fit as he gets open and catches everything. Don't know anything about the guy's character and how he'd fit in the locker room, but from a playing stand-point, he'd be a good fit .

Hope it's not this Gillett guy. Quick google search shows he doesn't keep any of his investments (business or sports-related) very long. Don't see how he would bring stability to the franchise.

Love it. Beat the Pats and Brady's toughness questioned at the same time. Might have been the smart play, but guarantee you he lost some respect in the locker room after that pull-up.

Because it's worthless if the League doesn't approve it.

Pretty sure no one plays divisional opponents in the pre-season. That gets it down to 4 out of 28. Also pretty sure no one does the East Coast/West Coast trip for preseason games. That eliminates Seattle, Oakland, San Fran, San Diego, and probably Arizona. That gets you down to 4 out of 23. Still not random, but also makes sense that an NFC team that is a 25 minute plane ride away is usually on the pre-season schedule.

On one of them, he ran upfield, got re-directed about 5 yards behind the QB, and Young tucked it and basically ran right into Maybin.

Article didn't say anything about him starting.

Thanks for the article. Funny how Wilson didn't have many good things to say about the city in 1969 either. A billion dollars and 42 years haven't done much to change his thinking. It's not that what Wilson says isn't true, you'd just figure a guy who's made that kind of money and got that kind of fan support could focus on the positives and be appreciative of the area.

Jackson's feelings have to be the least of Gailey's worries. No one's job should be guaranteed coming off 4-12 and getting bullied all over the field in Denver. Team needs to get tougher and meaner. Jackson certainly isn't the problem, but think Gailey is trying to change the culture of losing.

In my non-expert opinion, McKelvin has good coverage ability but poor ball skills.

If the OL is as bad as they look, might as well start Smith. Fitz and Thigpen won't have much of a chance. Also, we better hope Merriman doesn't go down or we'll never get off the field on 3rd down. Good news is at least the run D looks improved.

That's what happens when you don't match the other team's energy level. We played like it was an exhibition. Denver played like every player's job was on the line.

Completely agree. Evans is a great deep-ball WR and runs some nice sideline routes, but is actually sub-par in the middle of the field and underneath due to his aversion to contact. Don't think it will be that hard to replace his production, and Evans will be better off in a different system. WIsh him well.

Give us Brady, Belichik and a few serviceable OT's, and we'd be just as good. Pats roster continues to turn over. Only constants are Brady and Belichik.

Tebow would be 20 times worse than Flutie/Johnson. Might be a nice guy, but would be a huge polarizing figure for a fanbase that can't handle much more.
