we got Jordan Matthews iirc

What say you shim?

I'm pretty happy. Although, I was excited to see if Sammy could stay healthy. I'll take the picks, the corner, and Matthews over Darby / Watkins.
 
he's the definition of average, in pretty much every facet of the game. Basically was given the keys to the receiving core last year and did fuck all with it. Drops a fair amount of passes. Probably best playing in the slot, since he doesnt have the speed to blow by people. Decent route runner, that's probably his best attribute. He can make a nice catch every now and then and proceed to drop a gimme pass the next target. Decently physical for a receiver and is a willing blocker but its not like he's laying defenders out on the field or anything.

Again, average is the word I'd use to describe him. Should fit Buffalo's identity quite well

The Eagles traded him because Mack Hollins (rookie WR) already looks better than Matthews ever did

not sure how good Darby is but I'm glad we got another CB

Zeke Elliot suspended for 6 games

HOW BOUT THEM COWBOYS!!!!!

tbf, you quoted something from 1.75 years ago to discredit his more recent post.

I think Matthews can be a #1 in our offense. Not saying he can do what Watkins can, but he is a big target who will be helped out by McCoy and Boldin. I think it's obvious we take a step back in offense from this. Darby is a strong Man Cover specialist, which is not our D this season. I will gladly take the picks and if we cut 3 of a certain 4 players (not sure the names off the top of my head) we get another 3rd.

There was never any chance for us to make the playoffs this year anyways.
 
Seems to be. :\

Can you get GM back here?

Well there's always the Sabres ;x
 
Indeed.

I've been waiting for the Dolphins to break out since Marino retired in '99. It's been a painful process. Things are finally turning.

I think Adam Gase may be the most talented coach to enter the league since Bill Billichick. Everybody who has ever worked with him, from his assistant coaches all the way to Peyton Manning, raves about his ability to teach concepts and set culture.

It's process oriented guys like that, such as Billichick, Carroll, Cowher and Parcells who not only find success, but make it last. System guys never last too long, because process oriented guys adapt. Look at how many systems Brady and the Patriots have run over the course of his career.

So basically, I'm optimistic. How's that for a change?




I never put much stock in preseason schedule rankings. More than half the league fluctuates wildly year after year in terms of record, with only the likes of Pittsburgh and New England guaranteed success, and Cleveland and Jacksonville guaranteed failure.

Your 3rd most difficult schedule could very well end up 3rd easiest by year's end.
well playing in the afc W has its disadvantages
 
the afc west is going to be one of the best divisions to watch this year. i have seen predictions that are all over the place.

let's bet on the chargers at the patriots when it rolls around dwe?

okay

i wish u guys were playing us at our 30k soccer stadium
 
cool. a week-long avatar bet is standard.

you get to play at gillette in front of ~67000 pats fans :)

even more incentive to try to win it as the victory will be so much sweeter if you can.

DWE you need to negotiate better odds for these bets. Alasdair always gives you some crazy-unlikely thing to bet on and you just blindly accept due to homerism

Im not saying don't take the bet, it's just an avatar, but considering the Pats will be heavy favorites in that matchup, you should get a larger reward if the Chargers actually do win

IE: Ali has to use a Chargers avatar for 2 weeks

that's just a basic principle of gambling
 
it's not my fault if dwe is a gambling buffoon.

come up with a bet, dwe, and we'll discuss.

i think ali should lend DWE his new car for a week if the Chargers win
 
i wouldn't trust him with my mountain bike let alone my car.

Cam got a TD on his first and only drive last night. I thought he looked pretty damn good. Can't wait til September 10.
 
ali, your patriots tore my lions apart in that first quarter. the game wasn't nearly as close as the final score suggests.
 
i was not able to watch it. losing edelman is a blow but i think the patriots have the depth to absorb the loss.
