Big Blitz Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 If you count Miami 2x and the Jets in week 17 as Ws... We need to find 5 more wins to likely get in the playoffs. New England is ruining what could be a historic year. We could be 12-4 and a 5 seed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised Ryan wasn't a throw in as part of the deal actually. Not a bad backup plan to have Rudolph and Fitzy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eanyills Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) 14 minutes ago, HomeTeam said: That Steelers pick might be a top pick This narrative is a little exaggerated. Yes, the Steelers got dismantled by NE but they looked reasonably competent against Seattle. Fitzpatrick addresses one of their biggest weaknesses on defense, and based on their schedule, there’s six games they should win with Rudolph. If Rudolph plays well, they’re a 6-9 win team. 49’ers, Cincy twice, Miami, Arizona, NYJ, Colts. I’d say those are all teams they’re better than or on par with. They could split tough divisional games with the Ravens and Browns. They aren’t picking top-5. Edited September 17, 2019 by eanyills 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team has a lot of trouble running the ball which doesn't pair well with a first time starter. I think their schedule is extremely tough and going out to Arizona and San Fran are going to be much tougher than they appear. Jacoby Brissett can play and the Colts are probably a better team than the Steelers outside of QB anyways. The need Mason Rudolph to prove that he is at least a top 20 QB in the league imo. He might be, but I think it is a pretty big gamble. Edited September 17, 2019 by K-GunJimKelly12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Based on the trajectory of the Bills, by the time the Fish put all these picks to work, and assuming every pick actually hits, the Bills will still be miles ahead of them if they keep doing what they're doing. The Fish are a complete schittshow, and having those picks means nothing if you don't know what to do with them or the coaches to properly lead them.

HappyDays Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 A team that just lost its top 10 starting QB for the season traded a 1st round pick for a slot corner. The NFL is weird this year. 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan_34 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 The first that Miami got for Minkah will be a high first rounder. I don’t see Pitt winning more than 4 games this year. I think the Fins have 14 draft picks now, one will the the 1st over all and another should fall in the 2-6 range. This is kinda scary!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Cubed Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 The hit rate on 1st round talent is still only 50% AND they'll be drafting for need and not BPA with some of those players. I think this will push players down the board. Should be interesting to see how this all turns out. Suck for Luck ended up destroying a generational talent physically/mentally by not having talent in other areas of the team. Time will tell.

They beat a high school team and then barely beat last year’s worst team at home (Cards inexplicably kicked 3 FGs after having 1st downs inside the 5). They are the team to beat in that division probably but they have yet to play a good team. Chiefs this week is a better measure. 36 minutes ago, 4merper4mer said: And here I thought we were done with excuses for Kim Jung QB. The legend lives on. Let it go Elsa.
