2020 Our Year For Sure

Is he holding out yet?

My god do I love hearing talk like this around here. I'm so sick of 'Vet, keepthefaith, 1bills and the rest of the cynics!

In that case, why the f*ck are you here again? Johnny, I'm with you 100%. If this were Peyton Manning we were talking about, things would be different...but I'm THRILLED with this news, and nobody's lectures are going to change that. Brady and Belichick have had this coming to them for YEARS.

I think you have your cause and effect backwards there...

Its great to know Chambers is an adequate fill-in after the debacle we saw from him last year, but he will never be the athlete Peters is.

He didn't make a catch but got on the field in the 4th quarter, yeah.

Players and coaches need to be focused on the Jags. Not us. Speculating and getting over-excited is part of the joy of being a fan.

Good one

Other Good list. I'd also like to see Jessica Biel and Demi Moore on there.

It all depends on how you look at it. I believe he's done a good job here so far, so I think of him as a good coach. And when I hear arguments like yours, I just think, "Yeah, well its gonna take more than one fluky year to make me change my mind about the guy." You're obviously not happy with what he's done here, as you're holding his lack of a playoff appearance in his first 2 years here against him. How you expect him to get into the playoffs while Larry Tripplett is a starting DT is beyond me, but you are definitely entitled to that opinion and I respect it. So you look at it the opposite way: when I type what I typed in the first paragraph, you're thinking, "You've got it backwards, buddy. One winning season isn't going to make me think of this guy as a winner." When, from my perspective, he already IS thought of as a winner, because for two years running he's won more games than he should have.

One season proves NOTHING.

Great point, especially with Derrick Dockery lining up next to him and DT Rocky Bernard out of their line up. We could have some great matchups on the left side of the line in the running game.

Because this is the first year that I have high expectations for this team, and I understand that its quite possible the ball just won't bounce our way this time. Jauron has done more with less in two seasons running, so one bad year isn't going to wipe that out. As long as things aren't a disaster he gets another year to prove himself. One disappointing season just doesn't wipe out the general positive feeling I have about where this team is headed.

Because the actual play-to-play calls, Jauron delegates to his offensive coordinator. Are you aware of this? You know Fairchild was calling the plays? When Jauron had decisions he himself made, the facts don't suggest an overly conservative approach. Last year's Bills had the 11th most 4th down attempts, despite ranking 27th in time of possession. Thats more risks taken with less opportunities to take them.

Yeah Beerball, I've got all those channels listed. "Upcoming: Seahawks @ Bills" listed on 710.

Your point?

The 3-4 didn't suit him because he couldn't play in the middle. He can't play in the middle here either. What has Bowen done to earn a starting position? We need to go LB in the draft in rounds 1 or 2.

BUMP WOOOOOOO LETS GO BILLS

His contract doesn't expire for 3 years. I'd hope we could get an extension done before then, and make the franchise tag irrelevant. Hell, here I am hoping we can get something done in the next calendar year. We'll see I guess.

You mean they'll franchise him 3 years from now?

Also, you're not going out on a limb very much when you predict that quarterbacks will get hurt. Most of 'em do at one time or another.

10-team league, I was picking on the turn and Lynch was one of my 1st two picks. Then I got Evans and Dwayne Bowe together with my 5th and 6th picks to round out the WRs, so I don't know if you'd call him the WR2 or the WR3. Bills defense is definitely on my radar, especially after the first two weeks when the schedule softens up.

The best way to run nowadays is to use your short/intermediate routes to loosen up defenses to get your back some room. I hope Turk is willing to come out throwing, and that Edwards is up to the task. JMO.
