Yeah that might work with Zack Wilson on the other side but won't work with a competent QB.

Zach Wilson beat the Bills.

Zach Wilson beat the Bills.

Zack Wilson or a late punt return that should have been called back because of an illegal trip?? I hope we can say the same about Mac when we play them.

CB Jack Jones will makes our Defense Great no fly zone.

Your a harbinger of doom, every other team is great... regardless of record or how they've actually played.

Hopefully when the Pat's play the Bills they will have continued their upward trend of health and improved offensive play.

IF T Thornton is not starting when he gets back Bust city here we come. Felt sick seeing certain stat lines yesterday.
My Binky Tank Dell arrived 5 catches for145 I wanted him for us.
Also Jayden Reed 3 for 63 been solid for Green bay as a Rookie.

Why did this make you feel sick?

He went before our 3rd pick. And no one was taking trades to drop back, so he was out of reach.

BUT Zach Wilson WAS on the other side, so in wind and rain, you played it accordingly.

Here's one example: 4th and 1 at the Jets 45 with 10 minutes to play. If Zach Wilson is NOT on the other side, you go for it there.

Because I knew he was a can't miss Prospect like A.J. Brown - George Pickens just to name a few. Plus we benched our Rookie WR ie... Pop Douglas who's clearly better than the over priced and molasses slow FA acquisition Juju...while other Teams are playing their Rookies. Yeah that makes me sick.

Tua totally should be in that conversation. People here dismiss him, but Tua (thanks to his weapons and OC/Coach) is the real deal.

Absolutely.. what Miami did for him was instrumental in his development.. Hill is closing in on 30 and usually after 30 WRs typically decline in speed.. having the younger Waddle makes a huge difference.. but right now they have the most explosive offense in the NFL.. they will sure to give Buffalo a score.

 

[Thelonious]

Shrug. You only get so many opportunities at joy in this life.

That is certainly true. You're likely a better man than I.

Nope. I'm currently taking too much enjoyment from all the talk about Mac being a dirty player for going after Sauce's... ahem.

Pickens question marks were never his abilities: They were his off field behavior and the fact that he had a more extensive injury history in college than Tyquan Thornton. You can beat this drum in every thread from now until your deathbed if you want, but I think you should find other things in life to obsess over. The decision at the time had a TON of merit, regardless of how the careers of both players ultimately play out.

Also "can't miss" prospects at WR in TODAY'S NFL don't last to the 2nd round.

Ray Charles wouldn't take Thornton before Pickens given the chance nuff said!

Trent Brown was absolutely outstanding in this game for the #Patriots. Brown was left 1v1 on the blindside for the majority of the game, and had a clean sheet. Zero QB pressured allowed.

 

[sb1]

Awwwww yeah!

That BB Kool aid left a bitter taste in my mouth regarding some moves. What might have been if had chosen that guy or paid that guy instead.

So which one of these guys is can't miss like AJ Brown?
I mean, you don't even know if they're better than Douglas or Boutte.

Like I said, you'd drop Keion White to take Jayden Reed. Because that's the trade with the guys you mentioned. They went right after Keion. Not after Mapu.

I'm having a very hard time here comparing a slow 150 pound guy to Aj Brown or Pickens. It makes no sense.

I mean, I'd rather have Marcus Jones at WR than Dell, because Jones is much faster, a better runner, and bigger.

BUT you were totally in favor of paying Juju over Meyers when many others said it was a bad idea.

I wasn't in favor of giving Meyers $20Mill like the multitude but I wouldn't have signed a damaged goods player either.
