Buffalo Bills Season's End: The Off-Seasons Starts Now

[JLewyB]

I don't understand what the 49ers are doing at the end of the first half at all.

So bad. Playing afraid

 

[Dingo44]

And they shank a 48 yarder. That's what they get for being so weird and timid.

Talk about a clock management disaster. In the span of 2 plays, SF went from having 2nd and short around the GB 45 with 3 timeouts and a minute and change to 1 timeout with 25 seconds left

So bad. Playing afraid

I’ve never seen a coach be more hesitant to go for the double dip

 

[oldgoalie]

I’m not sure that SF has this one locked up. They lost Samuel.

Lawrence is still living off of pre draft hype. Good QB, but not close to top-5. I do think injuries derailed his season this year, so it'll be interesting to see how he does next year. He definitely has the potential to be elite.

Cousins is underrated. He's in that 5-10 range of QBs, but closer to 10, though I'd have to do a top-10 list to say for sure. Not on Lamar's level.

Stroud needs to prove more, and while I think Stafford is/ was a damn good QB, and I admire how he ended the year, Lamar was better this year and in his prime, so I'd take Lamar going forward.



Gun to my head, my top-5 would be (off of pure impact)

Mahomes- Allen is the only one I think can beat him when he's going super saiyan, uber consistent, and has the hardware to backup his spot as the alpha among QBs.

Allen- Highest ceiling, but the INTs are costly. If he ever reels in the INTs even a bit while he's in his physical prime, which I believe he can, he'd have a legit chance of being the best QB in the NFL.

Burrow- If there is a Tom Brady Clone; this is him (poor man's, of course) Incredibly smart. Very accurate. Tough. Can manuever in the pocket, and isn't afraid to hang in there to make a play.

Lamar- Insane physical ability. He can kill a team with his rushing ability, and I think he's going to pop off these playoffs.

Herbert- the stats speak for themselves.
His team stinks. He has the third best arm talent in the league behind Allen and Mahomes.

But I believe Lamar, Allen, and Burrow are damn near interchangeable. I also believe Herbert would also be in their tier if he didnt play on such a joke of a team over the years, but unfortunately the stink of a poorly run team also taints the QB. I'm still so damn happy Miami chose Tua over Herbert. Phew!

I hate how all of these guys are in the AFC. Is it too much to ask for some of these guys to play in the other conference?

Shades of Buffalo’s TD in the Miami game. Great feet.

 

[oldgoalie]

Terrible tackling By Green Bay.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

I know Samuel is a big loss, but that 49ers team still has McCaffrey, Kittle, and Aiyuk. They should be able to make plays like that drive.

Gteen Bay comes right back.

 

[Dingo44]

How blessed are the Bills the Packers traded us Rasul Douglas when they did?

Brock Purdy is not a top-flight quarterback in this league. Good? Sure. Great? Ny-ope.

Lots of weapons at his disposal.

The one advantage Niners have is right now he's on a dirt cheap rookie contract. It allows them to spend on the surrounding players, and with that all they need is good. That's a team that truly has a window, because once they have to make a decision on paying him all that goes out the window.

 

[oldgoalie]

Goddammit. They need that 3 points. Erratic rookie kicker.

 

[Dingo44]

These Fox cartoons are so dumb.

 

[MOGlLNY]

CMC thought about going down there before taking it in

 

[oldgoalie]

Green Bay can’t tackle for shit now.

 

[Zman5778]

REALLY not sure what LaFleur was thinking not calling a TO there.

 

[oldgoalie]

f***. Oh well.

 

[Dingo44]

I wish Greenlaw had fumbled.

 

[Zman5778]

Holy shit Love. WTF was that

 

[buffa dud]

Purdy and Love were both extremely loose with the ball today. Not surprised to see the game end like that.

 

[oldgoalie]

Holy shit Love. WTF was that

He chose poorly.

 

[Sabresfansince1980]

How bad was Deebo hurt?

Brock Purdy is not a top-flight quarterback in this league. Good? Sure. Great? Ny-ope.

The thing is, I think that the Shanahan system he has there could make plenty of backup QBs look good. It's about the ability to mentally process the reads and to just get them off in a timely fashion.

There's not a whole lot of need for a guy with a big arm or even one who scrambles. There's been plenty of talk out of the media that Darnold could do just as well in that spot. This isn't to denigrate Purdy, who is smart and makes the right decisions normally. Just to say that your point is right. He's good, not great. Shanahan seems to be fine with that.
