Giants WON - we now have the #1 pick

[Sect140]

I’ve been calling for Pioli for months.

I always wanted Bill to bring him back, I’m not sure anyone else has been able to tell Bill that the player he likes isn’t any good.

It's almost certain we locked up a top 4 pick, regardless of we win or not.

Just going over the teams the jags played that we didn't, it's coming down to two games.

Ravens vs Browns and chargers vs raiders.

Assuming lions beat the niners tomorrow, I don't think there's enough % left out there to matter.

 

[50-yard-line]

I hate tanking. Seriously.

HOWEVER...if the Pats win this week, it would be the STUPIDEST thing in the world. They have the top pick and don't need a QB. They can trade down, maybe twice, and still get the best non-QB in the draft and a slew of other picks.

 

[50-yard-line]

No you can’t sit Maye next week.

Yes you can, and damn well should.

What a crazy ass situation here...

- The Bills will rest their starters; they have nothing to play for
- The Bills will want Mayo to win and save his job to keep his trash ass around next year

Mayo will be stuck between
- Playing for a loss, for the betterment of the franchise long-term, and potentially getting fired for it, OR
- Playing for a meaningless win against BUF's backups for the #4 pick and earning Patriots Nations' permanent hatred

Since the Bills will be trying to give Mayo the win, and playing their backups, if Mayo STILL loses, it'll be extra pathetic. His only excuse would be "I was tanking for for the #1 pick" but they can't say that out loud...

And then if they DO get the #1 pick and they end up with A) the most cap space in the league, B) the top draft pick, and C) already have a great QB so the pick can be traded for a haul - then the GM and HC jobs become extremely attractive. So it's really in Mayo's interest to WIN, but if he does that then the screams of hatred for him get even louder.

If you are rooting for a win next week you are a ****ing sicko

Or you’re 10 years old

His stint running the place in KC wasn’t good. Had more success with Dimitroff in Atlanta, but he wasn’t calling the shots there.

There is nothing in the rule book that says if the Bills rest their starters, we can't rest our own. We have a lot of new players to evaluate, expect Jacobs, we need more tape on him.

 

[festy1986]

Allen has the MVP on the line. He's playing.

There's no way you don't give Barkley the MVP is he breaks the single season NFL rushing record.

If that's not worth a MVP then what is?

Eh. If he needs 17 games to do it...

I can see them resting Maye because of his concussion scare this week... and then playing Polk and Baker as the starters to evaluate... so the combo of Brisket + Polk + Baker ****ing sucks it up all game...

Those records matter to boomers.

Erik needed what? A 16 game schedule to break the 14 game record?

My point remains. If the NFL record for rushing isn't good enough for the MVP then nothing is. Might as well call it the best QB award.

Fire Eliot Wolf and Groh tomorrow.

If the Bills play at least the first half with starters could be enough

First time in my life that i want a Patriot loss

My first time was last year.
Seems to be the latest craze.

 

[Delicate Genius]

Mayo is going to pull a Lovie Smith and win the game in the final minute.

Could we leverage the number 1 pick for a vet 1 WR a vet LT and a mid to late first rounder?

 

[Pape]

No you can’t sit Maye next week.

 

[Zuma]

I’d be happy with that as long as the WR and RT are under 27 yo.
