A solid QB can get you to the playoffs by himself. If you can’t run the ball and play great defence it doesn’t matter. The two best offences of all time (2013 Broncos and 2018 Chiefs) did not win a ring.

Bills should trade for Gordon
McCoy + a pick

It’s exactly what Allen needs
Keep the pressure off him
Make the defenses focus on a great running game, opening up the pass

Big Ben didn’t average 30 passes a game until year 5 or 6
No reason to rush Allen either

The NFL is a joke with their "drug testing" anyway, but seriously, trying to test a guy that signed a one day contract so he can officially retire as a Ram?

You can smoke all the pot you want during the season, just not during the offseason. That's gotta be a wink-wink nudge-nudge deal with the players.

Interesting to me that the arbitrators decision for Ellie was same day, and Erods took the full two days.

More to think about for Erod. Ellie was just “case closed.”

Horrible idea.

1. The guy has been hurt more than he has been healthy
2. You'd have to pay him HUGE money at a time when people are (smartly) not paying RBs
3. His backup's stats are comparable

The arbitor did not issue a verdict. Both sides were heard and Elie's camp knew they were dead in the water the second they walked out, or even sooner. He simply signed the Sabres offer because he knew that's all he was going to get.

Would you pay the price for Gordon? Not the PRICE, just.. the price.

Remi Elie is the only player to file for arbitration to lose money in both the NHL and AHL. Only reason he went was to fight for a one way contract.

Idk why you went from 11-5 to comparing us to the Pats?
Brady stays healthy, they finish ahead of us
He’ll drop off 1 day, but I’ll believe it when i see it

Allen just isn’t an 11-5 QB yet imo
I reserve the right to see how the preseason goes with him,
but he’s a talented guy that needs time to really learn how to play QB still

- jdfitz77

I said they would win the division, thus you need to compare them to the pats if a discussion is going to be made on if they can win the division


no allen is not an 11-5 qb


but this team is with average qb play

why would the chargers do that?

a rb entering his prime, already a fringe top 5 rb, for an over the hill rb that had a really bad season


long and short answer is the same, they wouldn't make that trade, even if it was a 2nd rd pick

So are we trading one of our 19 right handed D-Men? I still think this team is either a 2nd Center or at the very least a Scoring winger from progressing into dare I say, the playoff conversation..

1 year ago was the skinner trade. So be patient. But I feel the same way. Botts can hurry up

He’s a running back with 4 years starting in the league and is 26.

He’s got about 2-3 years left

That being said McCoy + for him is beyond unrealistic. They’d just pay him

I would never invest in a RB ..... not worth it. Ask the patriots. They plug and play RBs all the time

And he had one of the better performances by a RB in the playoffs in recent history. I was told playoff experience matters though

Singletary is going to be a star this season.

Future is now.

Yeldon can head back to Jacksonville, maybe you guys can go out for a drink
