yup
That's awesome. I wish RG III would just go away, he's annoying as hell to listen to whine constantly on every ESPN newscast.
That was pretty funny.
I think he is done. He'll probably stick around the league for a while, but he won't be a #1 franchise quarterback. He can not run like he used to, and he is not a good pocket passer.
He never started.....so he can't be done.
I think that might be a little unfair. In his first season he passed for 3200 yards and owned a 20:5 TD:INT ratio. He had the #3 completion percentage & QB rating in the league and averaged more yards per attempt than anyone else.
He was completing passes from the pocket when the run was still a threat and his first target was open. Since the run has essentially been taken away and he now has to look to his second or third passing targets, his accuracy is way off and he is not good at reading defenses.
This.
I hear what you are saying, and I disagree, I think it IS representative of his abilities. I do think that you've seen the best he can be, which i don't believe was very good.
I can say similar things about Suh and Fairly, as I didn't think either one of them would become consistently good NFL D-linemen (for different reasons). I was hoping my NCSU boy Willie Young would develop into a more effective pass rusher, but I think he's just a situational player at best. And while it's cool to see the Lions avoiding their traditional fate (at least so far), I do miss the days of Wayne Fontes and the crazy runs they'd make at the end of the season to save his job. Don't miss seeing Matt Millen screw things up in the front office for years on end.
Only one quarterback short of a playoff spot.
No kidding. That defense will keep them in any game. God forbid they even have a competent passer on the order of Alex Smith. The WRs are surprisingly good.
Honestly, I think the only thing they're lacking is a consistently competent ball thrower. RBs are good with old man Jackson and Spiller (broken holla bone aside), WRs are good as you mentioned with Watkins obviously leading the way, and the defense is playing lights out. Assuming the Bills take care of Jokeland (which to be fair, is the kind of game the Bills are known to lose), they'll have a shot at the playoffs if they can beat the Pats in Drunksboro - no small task tho given that the Hoodie doesn't rest his starters even when they've got everything wrapped up.
Clearly not, but given how little protection the O-line was providing against the Bengals, I think the outcome would've been about the same. Oh well, I did at least enjoy watching the Bengal defensive players prance around giving the (predictable) "dollar, dollar" signs to Johnny...
Maybe... I mean, yes, Johnny Interception did not have a good game. But there's some wisdom in thinking that a high-variance QB at the end of the season is better than a mediocre one. Either they lose out and improve their draft position, while at least giving some reps to their high draft pick, or maybe the lack of game tape and change in game plan actually lets them win.
Everything isn't wrapped up, unless Denver loses one of the next 2 weeks. Home field through-out the playoffs is still undecided. Playing in Foxborough > going to Denver, should they both make it to the AFC championship game.
X-post with the "signs of the apocalypse" thread?If the Bills beat the Raiders next week (which should be possible) then it will be the first time in 10yrs that the Bills will finish the season with a winning record.
