Gastineau Lives Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 The big debate around here used to be who was better, Cooks or Benjamin. So funny they're both in our division now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity28 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 What’s weird is that the Bills hired a former DC. Who has jettisoned the “name players”, but improved the defense thru his expertise and smart DC hire, while working with the GM to improve the offense. Like, so weird.

Tough conundrum for you. They also hired your hero, Rex Ryan. So aren't they, actually, smart? GM is in his 1st season, yet gets the blame for everything since 1999. You're the best.

New York Mick Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 At least the Bills have a shot of winning the division instead of the ******* Pats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 One weird note: If Kelvin plays against us on Thursday night, he could potentially play a 17-game season. The Bills have already had their bye week whereas Carolina hasn't had theirs yet, so he'd effectively skip his bye week. He would join this list of players who have played 17 games in a season in NFL history: YEAR PLAYER TEAMS GAMES 1993 Chris Singleton New England-Miami 17 1995 Dexter Carter New York Jets-San Francisco 17 2004 Jerry Rice Oakland-Seattle 17 2004 Micah Ross San Diego-Carolina 17 2009 Will Witherspoon St. Louis-Philadelphia 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they honestly believe they have a chance at the division & I agree with them. Look at the teams who gave the Pats fits & the types of QBs. Alex Smith, Deshaun Watson, Cam Newton. Mobile guys that throw on the run. Benjamin DOMINATED the smaller Pats secondary in that game against the Pats. Him & Funchess just kept catching box out balls. Mathews + Benjamin = tough match up for the Pats D and their sh*tty slow LBs trying to do both, stopping Shady McCoy & match up with their WRs + have to chase Tyrod Taylor around? Bills beat us up tomorrow night & get 2 shots at the Pats to take over the division. Not as far fetched as some fans might think. Hogans hurt 3/4 weeks out. No Hightower for the rest of the season, Bills secondary playing with great cohesion. Gonna be fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The extra first, from KC, won't be enough to close that gap and we have an extra 2nd as well. They may be players for a QB but they aren't the biggest threat. CLE, NYG, ARI and JAX are the ones to watch. yes, i don't see why the bills would want to move away from tyrod unless their season goes south. as for the other teams, totally agree. i'd throw pittsburgh in the mix and wouldn't rule out the 49ers. they got garapolo but he may not be the answer.

Thing is, I doubt even Watson would be having any success right now in Cleveland ... playing a guy before he's ready can be worse than letting him develop and take over at the right time. Even SF are saying Garapolo may not see the field this season. You have to put these players in positions to succeed, and not expect them to suddenly elevate all the crap around them, IMHO.

PepPep Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 On 10/31/2017 at 5:46 PM, Jetsfan80 said: Looks like a big reason the Panthers pulled the trigger here was the financial aspect. While Benjamin isn't a free agent until after the 2018 season, the remaining $8M of his contract would have been fully guaranteed if he was on the Panther roster at the start of the new league year. Thus, rather than wait until the offseason to deal him, or write up a new contract, the Panthers went ahead and dealt him now. The starting WR's on the outside for Carolina are now Funchess and 2013 UDFA Russell Shepard, who has 41 career catches over 5 years, with Curtis Samuel in the slot. Which begs the question, if you are in win now mode with a QB like Cam, why trade him at all?? Why not resign K.Benjamin? You HAVE to pay good players at some point. I never understand these kind of moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they viewed Benjamin as either a poor fit for Cam OR an injury risk, and thus didn't want to draw up a new contract for him. Doesn't make much sense to me either. I think for an inaccurate pocket passer like Cam, Benjamin is someone you need to have around. He's big, has great hands, and can pull down passes even if they're not great throws. He lacks speed, which Cam needs out of a WR, but you can always find a Ted Ginn type of guy for the deep launches to play on the other side. It's much harder to find another Kelvin.

Quite possibly true. Watson is having success in Texas because of the strong surrounding cast no doubt. The thing is Cleveland didn't ignore their need for a QB and while Kizer has not worked out so far at least the Browns picked a QB in the draft. Unlike the Jets who completely ignored their need for a QB. That was the whole point of the post you responded too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
