Milton reminds me a bit of Newton for some reason.

 

Maybe because Newton never really progressed beyond being a bulldozing running threat with a live arm that could zip it to beat zone coverages. Never really manipulated defenses or threw with anticipation or improved himself from the pocket once teams figured out how to minimize what he did best.

 

Milton looks to me like Allen's first year in what hes asked to do and what he's executing. I don't think he's the threat Newton (or Allen) is with the legs, but if he learns the position better than Newton did, for sure he can be a plus starter. He's got a high ceiling.

What was the point of putting Mike White in the game?

Get him game time action just in case they need him.

is he out there ? 

Was last week his last call up from PS?  He might not even be active.

Not really. We are being pretty vanilla. Dont think very much, if anything, relates to the post season

When Mahomes and Burrows has slice and diced the defensive backfield in the playoffs it has some correlation even if the players are different.

Only score if we will set the record otherwise let them win

 

I suggest we fumble, and wait to see if they jump on it or let the clock run out. 

 

This is goofy!

Players will never not play to win. Looking to put plays on tape for their team, or others.

Surely not just based on this one game against backups ? 

Bills traded for rob Johnson under similar circumstances! 

[ngbills]

Run out the clock. Don’t score.

I agree, but no NFL GM is going to draft another QB number one when they just got their guy last year. I think drafting multiple high round QB’s would be an interesting new way to do it when looking for the franchise guy. You can always use an extra QB to flip for draft capital also. 

 

Worked for Washington with RG3 and Cousins!

Very true however, it shows the defensive schemes vulnerabilities when a QB is on, remember the big playoff games?

 

I'm as big a McD critic as anyone, but there is nothing to read into here. This is like the 2nd half of the 2nd preseason game. Doesnt mean or represent anything real.

What have you been watching. There is plenty of that in the McD defense

This defense for years.  Not deep safety play on a third string TE.

Milton does not seem like a guy though that is easy to take down.

That is hardly his first whiff this season .  I like much of Salomon’s game, he can learn from Groot and Von

[stevewin]

Keon seems very disinterested

[Maine-iac]

Davidson?   Maybe we could get him a TD for the record.  Not sure who's available.

[BillsfaninChicago]

Let Josh go take a nap lol

[GunnerBill]

Again I think Keon has to do better there. 

[Nitro]

I find the NE DBs highly annoying

One of us. One of us. 

[Einstein]

I'd be fine if they sat Coleman in the playoffs.

[Roundybout]

Keon is so disappointing in these contested catch scenarios
