WildCard Posted November 1, 2017 Author Report Posted November 1, 2017 The good news is, it's more likely that with Brady gone, Belicheat is also gone at the same time now, instead of inheriting Garappolo and staying forever

inkman Posted November 1, 2017 Report Posted November 1, 2017 On a side note, the Browns lost a trade because they didn't notify the league office in time. Who was the Sabres player that Darcy lost to a fax mishap? Z-something? The career minor leaguer Mike Zigomanis who ironically played for the Amerks a couple seasons ago.
That Aud Smell Posted November 1, 2017 Report Posted November 1, 2017 I’m reading Tweets to the effect that the Garappolo trade is an indictment of the 2018 QB class. SF was gonna have the pick of the crop, and was like “nope.” I also saw some Tweeter sourcing about how this was a Kraft move. That Belichick is all (football) business, and was contemplating trading Brady after this season.
WildCard Posted November 1, 2017 Author Report Posted November 1, 2017 Zay Jones has, thus far, been the worst WR in football https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/wr
nfreeman Posted November 1, 2017 Report Posted November 1, 2017 I watched some highlights of Benjamin last night. Holy mackerel. That guy is a monster. I can't remember ever seeing a WR that big and powerful-looking. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I am pretty psyched to attend Bills-Jets tomorrow night! (I've been to a bunch of Bills-Jets games here over the years, and they have all been terrible games followed by terrible traffic experiences.)

Calvin Johnson just retired a couple of seasons ago, you know?
That Aud Smell Posted November 1, 2017 Report Posted November 1, 2017 On KB: He's gotta be big and powerful because he is out-running or out-quicking exactly no one. Thinking of him more like a TE is probably helpful, to a point. Thing is, though, he gets covered by DBs, not LBs. Speaking of LBs - we need him to watch his. Okay, okay. I'm excited by the move - if only it indicates that the team is making a hard push for the playoffs.

CallawaySabres Posted November 1, 2017 Report Posted November 1, 2017 So close to pulling the trigger on NYC trip tomorrow, just can't seem to get off the fence.

That Aud Smell Posted November 1, 2017 Report Posted November 1, 2017 ^ Holy shnikes - that is cheap.
Wyldnwoody44 Posted November 1, 2017 Report Posted November 1, 2017 That fence is uncomfortable to sit on.... Unless you're into that sort of thing ;)
CallawaySabres Posted November 1, 2017 Report Posted November 1, 2017 If you're ever on the fence, just do it. Now plane and hotel though.....thus the on the fence part
North Buffalo Posted November 1, 2017 Report Posted November 1, 2017 Yeh they are if I didnt have to work at midnight...
WildCard Posted November 1, 2017 Author Report Posted November 1, 2017 Now plane and hotel though.....thus the on the fence part Eh who cares, it's just money. You'll always remember the experience, never how much it cost.
Mustache of God Posted November 1, 2017 Report Posted November 1, 2017 I'd love to go to that game but getting to and from the stadium is a nightmare.
WildCard Posted November 1, 2017 Author Report Posted November 1, 2017 Close friends of Bill Belichick seem to think that the Patriots coach, in his 18th season in Foxborough, is going to call it quits soon. In a story from ESPN: The Magazine about how much longer Tom Brady might play, the longevity of Belichick also came up, and it sounds like the Patriots coach might soon be ready to put the NFL grind behind him. According to the story, Belichick's friends believe that he'll only coach for two or three more years, which would keep him on the Patriots sideline until 2019 or 2020. Although the thought of Belichick retiring might sound crazy, the truth is, there's not a lot left for him to accomplish. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/apparently-bill-belichicks-friends-get-the-sense-that-he-could-be-retiring-soon/
PromoTheRobot Posted November 1, 2017 Report Posted November 1, 2017 I'd love to go to that game but getting to and from the stadium is a ###### nightmare. Instead of coming to it from the NJ Turnpike, take the Garden State Parkway and get off at Rt.3 Eastbound at Clifton, NJ. No one goes that way.

Also, I very much enjoyed Bomani Jones on Tom Brady's training techniques being a snake oil con.
inkman Posted November 1, 2017 Report Posted November 1, 2017 The Benjamin trade was nice but man is he unorthodox. Looks like A DE playing WR. Has no real ability to create separation otherwise than boxing out like a power forward going up for a rebound. His game has worked up to this point with Cam understanding his shortcomings and using him appropriately. I hope Dennison and Tyrod employ the same tactics cuz it's gonna be rare to find Kelvin running all alone at anytime during any games.
LGR4GM Posted November 1, 2017 Report Posted November 1, 2017 Yea but at 6'5" I don't need him running alone. That 6' corner or safety is gonna have a hell of a time dealing with that size
Weave Posted November 1, 2017 Report Posted November 1, 2017 If Tyrod is willing to throw to him...... TT is very cautious. It will be interesting to see if he has the courage to throw a jump ball to the new guy.
SwampD Posted November 1, 2017 Report Posted November 1, 2017 I like this trade. If for no other reason than it is for right now. It's not about the future. And the hope that we might get someone serviceable.. It's for right now. And I don't give two shnizzles about the picks we gave up for him.
