Low Positive

It's the Patriot way...

There were no message boards back then, at least not that anyone but real geeks used. Sports fans haven't changed, it's just that we have the ability to make asses out of ourselves (semi) publicly now. I'm sure if there were messages boards back in the 1925 the Yankees' board would have had a 100+ page thread on Wally Pipp vs Lou Gehrig.

Get outta here with your "facts!" This thread is for whining about how our 3rd string OG is not an all-pro. 😁

I wonder how many guys that we cut today would have started on the 2016 BIlls?

Apparently he can't be put on the exempt list because this occurred prior to him being drafted.

This is what I think. He does check a lot of old school boxes. GMs loved him because you knew exactly what you were getting. People in NE are expecting a second year leap, but there is no where for him to go. Any flaws in his game that could be improved by coaching were corrected at some passing academy a decade ago.

If the BIlls go 11-6, they still would make the playoffs and probably win the division.

That's why I don't understand how it makes any difference that he gets his massages from team personnel. Haslem will personally hire him a hooker if he wants it.

Imagine if the Browns go on a tear after week 7 and win the Super Bowl and Watson is named SB MVP.

I mean, the man made his career by being a Tebow humper and LeBron basher.

And if SF catches that INT on the Rams winning drive, Jimmy Garopollo plays in the SB and the Bengals probably win. Living in Cincinnati, I watched the Bengals run closely. To your point, they got so many bounces. The Raiders had 1st and 10 in the red zone at the end of the divisional round and didn't score. The deflection on their game winning INT in Tennessee shot straight up. Something happened at half time in the AFCCG between Mahomes, Hill and the coaches. There is a reason that Hill is not on the Chiefs, and I think it stems from that. As to the OP. This is my #1 pet peeve in sports fandom. WE AS FANS HAVE ZERO IMPACT ON THE OUTCOMES OF GAMES. The hot topic of the week has been "we can't overlook the Dolphins." I'll overlook them all I want. I'll say it right here: The Dolphins suck. Tua Sucks. Hill without Mahomes will regress and the Fins with that rookie head coach will be lucky to win six games. I'll also say that the Bills won't lose a game this year and will win the next 10 Super Bowls. Are any of those statements true? Probably not, but my saying them have zero impact on the performance of the Buffalo Bills. The players have to take all opponents seriously or you get Jacksonville. McD, Frazier and Dorsey have to game plan week to week, because "any given Sunday." But fans?

You'll notice that he didn't say best...

Quite the opposite. They are going to have a giant target on their back all year. They will not sneak up on anyone.

I wouldn't be against packaging up the whole rest of the draft for one 4th rounder and calling it a day. Late round picks won't make this roster. We can get a punter in UDFA.

I would actually be down. He would actually make the roster.

I know he did. If I would have been more active on this board I would have had the same take. I was livid.

Exactly When we get to the draft, fans forget about free agency. We killed it in FA.

I don't hold that against Gunner. We were all mostly guilty of that hot take.

QB run about ready to happen...

The draft has to be seen in combination with free agency. We filled so many holes in FA, that only CB remained and that is only a hole because we don't know if Tre White will be ready. This roster is so stacked that the draft was a luxury . And we still filled two needs in it with quality guys from the SEC. Its all good in my opinion. Remember, we added Von Miller.

Given the state of NFL drafting and contracts, a bunch of dudes who would have been RBs in the past are playing WR now.

guys, don't forget the team that we were last year has added Von Miller.

People respond differently to getting drafted. He might have been like "F***, I'm rich now!"

Cost us a couple draft spots, but it was important to win RJ's last game. Also, Power is a man.

Not exactly. He's a parody of a Jets troll that someone on this site has maintained for years. I respect the dedication.
