My stream broke. I blame the Jets field.

That was a lame duck GM who they let give out 2 huge Free Agent contracts for players the new regime didnt even want, right before firing him. Classic Jets. Well oiled machine.

I had found that link and was going to post that exact quote. But then after re-reading it a couple times, Im not so sure. Darnold wasnt in a passing stance or motion at that point. He was a runner. I dont think there is a rule against whipping a runner down. But I dont know. You're right. It seems like it should be illegal, but it might not be.

Someone get to him and stop this before he ruins himself for the frickin Jets

We have much higher standards than the Jets.

lol Desir

Ownership needs to make the call right now. Fire Gase, IR Darnold, ride it doooooooown....

Bummer for Sam.

Does that save Gase? Mosley opting out, Darnold done for a good chunk of the season (all?)...

Surprised that wasnt a flag for whipping him into the ground like that. But I guess Darnold doesnt get those calls.

This should be the game to decide which loser team gets relegated to the XFL

This isnt an XFL game?

10-6 means 7-6 from here on out. Still pretty much a 50/50 win-loss split the rest of the way.

I gave ya a beer instead of a sad face, to mean "Thanks for sharing, and here's to Lindy!" Sorry for your loss, it's never easy. Good job giving Lindy a long, happy, comfortable life

Not a bad idea. Star is on his way out and we see how bad we miss him already. Harry is floudering. I guess Butler is doing "ok". But we could definitely use a big time compliment to Ed. That's not what McDermott wants or needs tho. Edmunds is playing wonderfully in McD's D and it doesnt call for a thumper in the middle. Never has, never will. Agree DE is top priority, but I think OLB is a big need as well.

In the offseason, both the Bills and the Pats were slated for 9 wins. And it was thought that one team would end up 9-7 and one 8-8, with whoever managed to go 9-7 taking the division. Then the Pats signed Cam, and Josh came into his own. I still think it will be a 1 game difference for the division, but probably more like who ends up 10-6 vs 9-7.

Yeah but for years we all had to say "Yeah we're 1-2, but we were THIS CLOSE to being 3-0, if only the O could score and the refs didnt screw us". And it didnt matter then, we were 1-2. And it doesnt matter now. We are 3-0 baby!

I dont mind LeBatard. As Ive said previously, it used to be awesome to read his column in the Miami Herald on Monday after a Dolphins loss to the Bills in the 90s-00s. None of us here could burn the Phins as thoroughly as Dan. 😆 Good on him for coming around on Josh.

After thinking about it, I think LB is where it's at. Even if Milano re-signs. And especially so if he doesnt.

Hopefully Milano's agent feels the same way about his guy being a system-LB

We'd definitely need to re-sign Feliciano and D Williams.

I can see this too. Which is a pretty amazing feat given our schedule this year. 11 wins this year means we wouldve been a 13 win team on last year's schedule, and possibly setup to be a 12-13 win team next year.

Assuming we'll be picking pretty late in the round, and all the top tier DEs and DBs go early... Do you go 2nd tier DE/DB, or 1st tier TE/OG? The easy answer is: Whoever Beane feels is BPA, regardless of position.

It's tough to win 12-13 games in the NFL, even for a perennial contender on an easy schedule. Would love to see it, I Bill-ieve it's possible, but that would be a miracle to pull off this year. I hope you guys are right! GO BILLS! That's why it's in quotes.

Most preseason predictions, along with Las Vegas, had us as a 9-win team. A fair and reasonable prediction given our schedule and the questions at QB. While it seems the QB questions have been answered, I'd say that Josh's development has been "balanced" by some Defensive regression to keep us about equal to where we were starting. With that said... We are currently 3-0. That means, if you believe 9-7 is still a likely outcome with this schedule, we are looking at going 6-7 the rest of the way (yikes). I see 2 more wins coming from the Dolphins and Jets, and expect to split with the Pats. So that leaves 3 other wins. Broncos and Chargers are probably the rest of the "obvious" wins. Leaving only 1 more win out of Raiders, Titans, Chiefs, Seahawks, Cardinals, 49ers, and Steelers. I'd have to think we can get a win from one of those better teams*. But could also see us dropping a stinker against the Broncos or something (sorry, BBFS). So sitting at 3-0, and getting a head start on our record, how do YOU see the rest of the season playing out? Can we get to 10-6? Are we mentally prepared to go 6-7 the rest of the way? edit to clarify: When I say "those better teams", I mean that as "the better teams on our schedule", not "teams that are better than us". I also believe we can certainly beat more than 1 of them. Just crazy to think that with this good start, we could be looking at 10-11 wins even with a tough schedule. Also steeling myself to understand that even if we do go 6-7 the rest of the way, we still have a good shot at the division since I dont see the Pats being much better.
