Russ to DEN is a huge trade. AFC West is f***ing loaded - Mahomes, Herbert, Carr and Wilson!
The Bills' grossly unethical stadium deal will burden the people it purports to unite
Not only are the billionaire Pegulas footing the bill to Buffalo taxpayers, New York governor Kathy Hochul is conspicuously proposing slashing $800 million from a vital state office — and announcing all this just days before it's to be voted on.

He could probably move to Toronto with a sweet deal. He knows he has all the leverage.

Todd Bowles taking over for Arians. Brady should’ve retired on a relatively high note.
As a Jets’ fan, I look forward to Brady getting frustrated and crushed by Bowles inept offensive game plan.

Sounds like an orchestration geared to end in a Brady trade to, well, the destination of his choice.Todd Bowles taking over for Arians. Brady should’ve retired on a relatively high note.

Bite your tongue @Mike C
He needs a full year under the offensive genius and leadership of Coach Bowles.

At least there’s no talk about an Isles draft party. Well, I guess there is now.
I’m hoping Anna Kendrick shows up to motivate Beau. We need more than Ralph Macchio and Kevin Connolly.

"Sweats on the planeeeeee."
Bowles won't touch the offense with a 10 foot pole, that'll be all Leftwich & Brady.

yep. l Brady to run the team,and leftwich to hold the clipboard and say "yes sir. whatever you say Tom, that's what we'll do. that what we always do, right Tom?"
Well Becton lasted longer than I thought he would. This is the reason I would have grabbed one of the two OL with our first pick.
I think the Jets signaled they were worried about pass protection when they signed two starting level all-down tight-ends, and drafted an all-downs running back. Probably the best way to shore up pass protection is limit opposing defensive substitutions based on personnel groups, and (the other side of the coin) increase the versatility of the base offensive personnel group. I hope it works, but at least one can understand what they're doing.

Every start of a season is a an opportunity to be different and better than the previous season. Unfortunately it is hard for me to imagine this Jets team with their schedule (see weeks 3-10) winning more than 6 games this season. You build from the line out and with all their opportunity to improve and cap space, again I see problems on the offensive line.
The way I see it that first game is critical to avoid a 2-8 or 3-7 start which are the most likely scenarios IMO.

Jets fans are just not allowed to have nice things. At least I have the Islanders to fall back on.

As Ravens fan, I'll tell you that Flacco can throw. If he has decent WRs. He was king of the checkdown his last couple years in BAL, but there wasn't much of receiving corps to throw to. He can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit, but he was def an above average QB for us and had a big arm when there was someone fast to throw to.Jets fans are just not allowed to have nice things.

Maybe you can get Jimmy G from the Niners.

I feel your pain. The Ravens had our dark years at QB for a long time until Flacco seized the reins as a decent and occasionally great QB.
I've always been amazed at how hard the QB position is. If you think about how many kids play football, and how many play college, and how many get drafted/signed to the pros... it's amazing that there are only really 10, maybe 15 guys in the world that can really play the position consistently well professionally.

Down here, Panthers have Darnold and Baker Mayfield to choose from. Might be a long season for both of us.
Gladly NFL is #4 on my list of the 4 major sports. Being a huge St. John's hoops fan moves FB down another notch

I’ll go OT on this OT thread and comment on hockey. When I heard about Wilson’s injury somehow the Isles crossed my mind.
I think the Isles struggle this year to make the playoffs. If they were to have a prolonged injury to a key player (Barzal, Pelech, Sorokin) then they’re on the outside looking in. That may seem like I’m stating the obvious but our margin for error is razor thin compared to some other contenders.

Well, survived that one although not ideal. Wilson gets to watch instead of practice and prepare for his biggest season of his life all because he felt he had to earn extra yards instead of take what he got and play another down. Love the effort and determination and it’s all part of the maturity process. He is lucky for now.
The o-line issue is glaring though, so Wilson will be thrown to the wolves vs AFC central defenses without much more development preparation. Hope he will be ready and excels. I have my doubts but at least he will be playing.
