Buffalo to rest most starters (including Allen) vs Carolina in Preseason finale

The way Rhule decided to handle the preseason is frustrating to me and probably a lot of fans.     We (and his staff) won't get the chance of watching starters v starters in a preseason game environment.    If our starters struggle vs Buf backups, expect a poo storm in the media for 2 weeks.     This is the worst case scenario (outside of an injury).

 

I was really hoping to get a chance to evaluate our team against one of the best starting offensive/defensive units in the league.  

 

End rant.

Ya'll have your fun all the way up to the Baker, Baker, Baker Bowl ya hear!?

Matt Corral wasn't Kenny Pickett therefore of no immediate value. I'm going to watch the defense this year. Bathroom breaks and snack breaks in offense.

When a team REFUSES to develop a rookie QB (on the field) it makes everything less exciting.

Yay! Teddy/Sam/Baker, Baker, Baker

His record and current trajectory are silly. Have you been watching this man the last 2+ seasons?! From disaster to what? Mediocre? We'd oddly and slummingly will accept mediocre right now because it's good o'l Matt Rhule?! C'mon man! Just a estimate but I would not be surprised if 80% of teams would have escorted this dude and his belongings out already. He's rich. He'll be fine.

For all that $$$$$$$ he provides little value if you then have to get rid of guys and hire shadow HCs.

Should have gave Jim Harbaugh(.695 NFL win percentage) that $$$$, more even, now having learned not to hire college coaches without NFL HC experience.

Well, I am not sure it was the right decision, but then I think it really doesn't matter that much.  Fans complained last year about the snaps that the qb's were getting, and yet Darnold actually looked decent in the first few games but got worse as the season went on.  In reality, those snaps, or lack thereof, made little or no difference to last year's outcome.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
