Oh, I think that is selective.  I mean, everyone can't do it.  Just like with everything else.  Only select folks are allowed to be bad.  They will try to weed out the random people trying to get in on things, it can't be a big thing everyone can get in on.  

I mean, isn't it pretty well acknowledged the mob back in they day influenced outcomes of sports? 

The "mob" was into a lot of things back in the day. They were fixing fights mostly but branched out into illegal gambling and booze during prohibition. Points shaving was mostly attributed to the coaches or players themselves but I'm sure the mob had a hand in it themselves. But they were making more money in the drug market than they could with gambling by the 1980s and gambling was getting legalized.

I think DB CAN be better. I don't think he is quite yet.

He could use some pass rush help right now so he can't be triple team at least. That crap pisses me off. 

Let's not and say we did.

Yeah. I mean there isn't much we can do about it at this point. Just watch it happen and see what comes next.

It is what it is. They should put that on the stadium for all to see because it perfectly sums up the current qb situation for the team. 

He's the same guy I watched play at Auburn. Only now he's stronger and more versed at dline play. He was a beast then and now he's a monster. 

I think you need to give some credit to Tillis as well. He's been instrumental in helping Dan understand player value and trade value relative to the draft. Dan was not a draft expert to say the least. He needed help with that and Tillis so far has earned his money.

Let's not forget he is on an absolutely STACKED d line. Good for Burns, but you can't say he would be putting up these numbers here. 

This^^^

I literally wouldn't.

I would not pick him up if he was a FA.

Hustons oline was not their problem last night. Stroud was seeing ghosts. 

This will be a get right game for the Bills. It will be an ugly home loss by double digits.

They were but he missed open receivers all night.

He seemed to be rushing his throws. He was throwing off his back foot a lot.

No turning back on that relationship lol. Woody Johnson what an asshole

White was starting in place of much-maligned quarterback Zach Wilson in the Jets’ game against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 17 of the 2022 season with the team’s playoff hopes still alive. White, who was playing through broken ribs, recorded an ugly statline with 240 passing yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions.

After the 23-6 loss, which eliminated the Jets from postseason contention, White threw his helmet in apparent frustration in the locker room.

Johnson, who was also in the Jets’ locker room, reportedly said, “You should throw your helmet, you f---ing suck.”

Johnson later apologized to White for his profane outburst.

That would do it.

I think both are true.  Baker missed a few open receivers by throwing it about five feet over their head.  

Their defense has the Bucs offense rattled. Baker is rattled and off his game. The receivers have been taken out of the game at will. They cannot stop Gibbs or even slow him down. They simply got dominated.

Baker suckin ass tonight.

No, Detroit's defense is playing out of their mind.

Dude, that's a bypass waiting to happen

The amount of cheese made me think of the dogs at Skyline Chili

Skyline has killed more people than WW2.

Jets Twitter literally would rather have him back over Fields and Taylor as we speak after this news broke lol. When he's on he's super charismatic and hypes up the fans and teammates unlike our current guys. 

Well they can snatch him from our practice squad as we speak.

Juan can swallow it whole.....

He would love to get his mouth around that.

they definitely are. I remember hearing Canales talking about how "we know we have our QB" after the way he finished last season. he hasn't done enough to lose that praise in their eyes and now we have to pause evaluation. unless he shids the bed when he comes back, his 200 yd, 2 td 1 int games playing .500 ball will get him a contract with us. 

That wouldn't surprise me at all sadly to say. I guess it will take finishing with a top 3 pick to get a new starter. Young is going to earn his coach killer reputation after Canales falls victim.

Would you start the guy averaging 189.7 yards from scrimmage over the past three weeks, by chance? Not gonna mention any names but....

Depends on the other option and whether said 189.7 prevented the win. No names needed.

It’s also funny that he is 6’5”. All the QBs brought in since Canales has been here has been 6’3 or taller. 
 

Hooker, Plummer, White, Perkins

To be fair it's kinda hard to find a pro qb under 6 feet even if you tried. So pretty much every qb you find is going be taller. And Murray should have been a warning sign before Young was ever drafted.

Win coin toss.  Elect to receive.  30 minute opening drive for a score.  Recover onside kick to open 2nd Half.  30 minute drive with kneel downs to end the game.

Win.

That is pretty close to the plan. Long, time consuming drives should be the strategy. Do not get into a shootout with Josh Allen. We would be bringing a slingshot to a gunfight in that scenario.

I haven’t seen enough to know if we will get two years ago Andy. And week 3 2024 Andy was very good.  
It looks like some drop off may be in play. 
He has the experience and the eyes to compensate somewhat. 
As an aside, that Russell Wilson special late to Legette was how I expected t see him used with Bryce. Hasn’t happened. 

I'm as puzzled as you are about that. Honestly, that's probably Young's only throw he's afraid to throw. He should try the Russell Wilson special out sometimes. It may just save his career.

Back to back losses and the bye week to stew over it, I don't think there is any recipe to beat them this week.

And that has basically nothing to do with my thoughts about the Panthers, I'd probably say the same thing if the Bills were playing any one of about 20-25 other teams this week in that scenario.

Dave's only shot is to test that 31st raked run defense. Anything that keeps Allen off the field as long as they can.

Just now, strato said:

Yeah ageeed. We are back to Fox ball and that is dependent on this patchwork OL. Especially looking forward to seeing the old school play action game. 
And the defense will be tested. 

It will look different in some respects because Andy is not going to go off script. He will also take more chances because he has nothing to lose really. He's washed and he knows it but will do the best he can. I admire him for the effort however fleeting it may be. It is what it is. Sometimes miracles do happen but im not expecting one.
