Iron Crotch Posted August 21, 2015 Report Posted August 21, 2015 EJ will look good in Jets green. Quote
X. Benedict Posted August 21, 2015 Report Posted August 21, 2015 Durn it. Their guys that'll be bagging groceries in 3 weeks are better than our guys that'll be bagging groceries in 3 weeks. :lol: It seems like every time a shop these days, I bag my groceries as the kids that are supposed to bag my groceries talk to the other kids that are supposed to bag other peoples groceries. So where to shop. Quote

JJFIVEOH Posted August 21, 2015 Report Posted August 21, 2015 I think EJ's looked pretty good the last two games. I'm not a fan of a running QB. Quote
Eleven Posted August 21, 2015 Report Posted August 21, 2015 Yeah it gave me pause. Unfortunately I have done so many awful things, I'm pretty close to that worst thing zone. Thank you. He single handedly ruined two of my FF teams. I doubt this. Anyway. Again, I didn't see the game. How bad was it? Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted August 21, 2015 Report Posted August 21, 2015 Anyway. Again, I didn't see the game. How bad was it? It was a Browns-Bills game. I think EJ's looked pretty good the last two games. I'm not a fan of a running QB. EJ played well, especially if you account for the second team offensive line being pure dog poop. Quote
inkman Posted August 21, 2015 Report Posted August 21, 2015 I doubt this. Anyway. Again, I didn't see the game. How bad was it? I suppose it depends on where your moral compass starts and ends. I think EJ's looked pretty good the last two games. I'm not a fan of a running QB. If you want to root for the Bills this season you may need to change your thinking. At least for the first couple of games. Quote
nfreeman Posted August 21, 2015 Report Posted August 21, 2015 I think Taylor is going to get the job. Quote

EJ isn't flashy but he's calm and collected and doesn't do much wrong. Quote
Hoss Posted August 21, 2015 Report Posted August 21, 2015 Dareus on contract talks: "They’re making it hard. And it’s just really making me unhappy. I feel like they don’t really want me here.” Quote
nfreeman Posted August 21, 2015 Report Posted August 21, 2015 Dareus on contract talks: "They’re making it hard. And it’s just really making me unhappy. I feel like they don’t really want me here.” Coming from the dude who got himself suspended for the opener against a great QB. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted August 21, 2015 Report Posted August 21, 2015 Dareus on contract talks: "They’re making it hard. And it’s just really making me unhappy. I feel like they don’t really want me here.” Odds his agent told him to drop something like this in the media if asked about the contract? Quote
Hoss Posted August 21, 2015 Report Posted August 21, 2015 Carucci came out with this nugget: The #Bills have offered Marcell Dareus more than $90 million in a deal that would add 6 yrs to 1 yr he has, according to #NFL source. I'm assuming Marcel wants Suh money (6 years, $114M). Quote
That Aud Smell Posted August 21, 2015 Report Posted August 21, 2015 I thought Taylor did enough to take a lead in the QB competition. I couldn't get over how small, how, yes, Mike Vick like, Taylor appeared (in terms of size). I thought EJ probably did enough to keep his hopes alive of staying on the roster. As for what the game may have revealed about the team for the regular season, I'm not so sure. Taylor looked capable. The defense looked very good (against a horrible offense). We didn't have one NFL rb, nor did we have much of anything at wideout (and Hogan going down early wasn't good). Actually, on balance, I think the game may be predictive of what the team is or wants to be. I also think more and more that Lesean is going to prove an ill match for this scheme and philosophy. Lesean is an amazing talent, but doesn't look the part of, say, Frank Gore. The rookie out of Fla State may be a better fit, in fact. In terms of last night suggesting what the team wants to be: We saw a lot of runs that looked the same to my untrained eye, but, based on what I've read, had subtle differences designed to confuse the D. We saw a little read option, which worked really well. We saw several low risk passes that came off of run formations. The game *flew* by in terms of actual time. And the D looked like it is ready to be a top unit. Quote
GoPre Posted August 21, 2015 Report Posted August 21, 2015 Is it already 55 million or so locked in the defensive line or will this deal or one at 100 flat make it so? Could lead to the eventual loss of other key players. If need be put the franchise tag on the guy and go from there. Quote
Eleven Posted August 21, 2015 Report Posted August 21, 2015 Anyone think the Bills could get Griffin for a second- or third-round pick? Anyone think that they should? Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted August 21, 2015 Report Posted August 21, 2015 Anyone think the Bills could get Griffin for a second- or third-round pick? Anyone think that they should? Yes and no, respectively. Before the offseason I would have rolled the dice all day, but I really like what Taylor has shown. Much more importantly, however, is that Griffin hasn't shown a single solitary sign that he can return to rookie form. He's not as fast, processes his reads too slowly, has demonstrated erratic EJ-like accuracy, and seemingly has no idea how to protect himself. Frankly, he looks mentally and physically shot, which makes me sad because damn he was fun to watch. Maybe a change of scenery is what he needs, but his play has been so poor that I have a real hard time believing that'd be a cure all. I'm sure another team will give him a shot if Washington finally gives up on him, but I'd be surprised if he's name NFL starter two years from now. Quote
That Aud Smell Posted August 21, 2015 Report Posted August 21, 2015 Frankly, he looks mentally and physically shot He looked decent in their preseason opener against -- who was it, the Browns? But, yeah. Maybe that means he could be had for a 4th? Quote
Doohicksie Posted August 21, 2015 Report Posted August 21, 2015 Anyone think the Bills could get Griffin for a second- or third-round pick? Anyone think that they should? You mean RGIII? He got hurt again yesterday. Quote
That Aud Smell Posted August 21, 2015 Report Posted August 21, 2015 I believe that's why he raised the issue. Quote
Hoss Posted August 21, 2015 Report Posted August 21, 2015 I've been an RG3 fanboy every step of the way. Before his Heisman season he was my Heisman pick. I made sure to watch every game of his whenever I got the chance. He's unbelievably talented, but Mike Shanahan broke him forever. I would still take a shot on him if he came for pennies on the dollar (no more than a 4th + EJ). But I don't think that'll happen. He'll likely be a free agent after this season, though. I can't see Washington picking up his option. Quote
wjag Posted August 21, 2015 Report Posted August 21, 2015 Anyone think the Bills could get Griffin for a second- or third-round pick? Anyone think that they should? Heck no.. He's a train wreck... Quote
