Tyrod Taylor signs to be a backup with the Chargers

Guess he didn't want to play in the AFC East

What I really like is after the $10 million or so for the draft picks the Bills should have about $30 million in cap space as well.

Meaning they can add when there are cap casualties if they see fit or roll over the cap space for next season as well.

Beane really did a good job of getting the cap situation under control.

You're absolutely right about Allen. I think he can handle the pressure, however if he doesn't keep improving teams are going to figure him out real quick.

I am cautiously optimistic as I am about all Buffalo teams.

- Stripes77



I get the feeling there are going to be a few Carolina cap casualties and Beane is gonna strike some good deals with more familiar faces.

The AFC is going to be a battle this year.

Pittsburgh isnt going away
Baltimore is still a 9-7ish team
Cleveland is gonna probably win the division

San Diego is good
Raiders even improved
Kc is a pro football team

Pat's
Jets improved

Tennessee is always competitive
Indy with luck is solid
Jags with foles and a great bounce back year on d
Houston is formidable

Basically
Denver, cinci and miami suck

Sorry tanklaville. Flacco is not good at football

- CoHo_to_B-Lo


Hey, I'm a Packers fan. I'm happy with how that played out. But if you think a 37 year old Terrell Suggs is the difference for them vs not IDK what to tell you. I imagine they will address the LB position at the draft. They still have a great o line, a great d, and Lamar looks lethal running the ball. 9-7 doesn't seem out of reach just because they don't have LBs on their roster NOW.

The Ravens will be anywhere betwwen 6-10- 9-7

I think Lamar will be figured out, when that remains to be seen.

Lamar Jackson is going to get torn up this year. Good for them that they replaced Weddle with Thomas. Who cares about Suggs... they lost Mosley and Smith. Ravens will be bottom feeders this year.

I like the system that Phil has put into place. He could use better assistants. But just because he tries to run a modern offense doesn't mean he can. And he clearly can't. Find someone who can.

We have more talent on offense and defense than the Islanders. They were a (frank)ing train wreck under Cappy and Weight. And now, go (frank)ing figure, they're one of the best, with one of the best coaches in the league. You know who's a good coach? Joel Quenneville. Go get Joel Quenneville. You know who needs a new contract? Jon Cooper. Go get Jon Cooper. Find someone that can actually coach a (frank)ing team.

Replaced is strong word. That team has always been built on running the ball and Defense. They play Cincy twice, have to imagine at the very least split with Pitt, and who knows about Cle. They look great on paper, but we'll see how they play. I think they'll be good, but I'm not gonna say 14-2 or 13-3. More like 11-5ish. So possibly the Ravens win one there. That's 4-2 in the division. Play the AFC East, so prolly go 2-2 there, play the NFC West, prolly go 2-2 there, and then KC and Houston. So 8-8 is what I would have them at. Not bottom feeder in the slightest.

Right, they bank on their defense and they lost 4 starters. 4 KEY starters. Yes Thomas is great, coming off of a broken leg and missing almost an entire season. It is going to be tough for them.

3 starters as Suggs and Smith rotated a lot. I understand what you're saying. They upgraded substantially with Thomas from Weddle. They draft a MLB(which is probably one of the more inconsequential positions in the NFL) and possibly a new EDGE to replace Smith.

Thomas has missed 19 out of his last 48 gp.

He didn’t miss a game his 1st 6 yrs.

Good thing you'll never have to worry about that

I don't have to worry about reffing the over 50 League hockey at holiday and leisure

My resume speaks for itself

Your personality and attitude speaks for yourself

- Stripes77

You have absolutely horrible judgement for someone in your position and it just proves that refs in hockey are biased and corrupt. The Skinner trip and then you literally aid Zadorov DIDN'T rip Jack's helmet off.

I am a lot younger than 50, btw, but part of the reason I stopped playing hockey is because of referees calling the game like 5 year olds.

I watched 5 minutes of the 2nd period and almost threw up. With that said, I really like Montour.
