    Quit bitching, Saints.  Try winning.
    Philly has a JV roster out there.  Don't see them bitching.  :cry:
    LSU or alabama’s second team probably have as much talent at the skill position as our eagles had out there today on offense.  

    uh, no.

    The Bills' loss was a bit rough.  They got stung by some calls, but overall, they had 25 chances in their own hands to win that game and they didn't.  It isn't so bad, because we are at the beginning of hopefully some good years.  Management appears to be in order.  Some really good young players and a ton of cap and draft flexibility.  

    I thought Josh Allen looked pretty good for the most part.  They need a few more weapons on offense.  The most targeted player was a guy off the practice squad who played for the Edmonton Eskimos last season.

    A good, young, team.

    Interesting with some many teams left being lead by relatively inexperienced players.
    (Normally not the case when down to 8)
    Seahawks - been there, done that
    Packers - been there, done that

    Everyone else?
    New QBs, most of the stars.

    Even with that being the case (I believe, I didnt go through each roster) - one of those teams will knock the other out, so it should be at 3/4 of the teams left will be relatively young/inexperienced relative to Super Bowl wins or sustained playoff successes. 

    I had the pin on the Seahawks for much of the season and bailed on them due to their injuries in the backfield.  Given their experience and that magician under center, I could still see them being the ones standing at the end.

    Hope not, but it usually seems to be the case that it takes some loss to build up to a championship effort.  Fun to see the ridiculous amount of new blood in there this year.

    ^ The kind of team that would have a few solid seasons and never any true success with the NE stranglehold hanging above them. They could be the first AFC east powerhouse house on the post NE era.

    We're definitely seeing a changing of the guard as far as QBs.
    Brady and Brees both knocked out in the first round (I'd be worried Sunday if I were Aaron Wroggers). Eli and Rivers are basically non entities now.
    The league is in the hands of Mahomes, Jackson, Watson, Garoppollo etc.
    Wilson is kind of in between QB generations and will still be viable for a while, but otherwise its a bunch of the younger guys starting to take over the league. And a few of the younger guys showing they aren't capable of taking over (Looking squarely at you Jared Goff, and Baker Mayfield & Sam Darnold are on the clock)

    They got hosed with some of those calls.  Should have been 20-0 right after halftime.  But the secret refs ran out onto the field to change the call.  That was a clusterfuck....ref had zero control over the game.  The blindside block call and the delay of game that wasn't called late in the game were both really bad.  But yeah, the arrow is definitely pointing up for the Bills.

    That TD they called on the kickoff was bogus and the secret refs were right to get them to change that.
    Every kickoff guys just hold their arms out like the Houston returner did and let it drop in the end zone for a touch back. Because he caught it, made no move to try and return it and tossed it to the ref now we're going to change the way that has been officiated the last few seasons under the new "safer" kickoff rules. 
    If they had let that TD stand there'd have been major repercussions.

    if it hits the end zone, by rule its a touchback.
    If the guy catches it, he needs to take a knee (or call for a fair catch).
    It was botched.  Bone-headed play by the returner.
    If he decided to run it after standing there, caught the Bills sleeping and scored a touchdown, I dont think that gets called back.

    Not why they lost though.  Should have won that game going away without that 'free' touchdown.

    Regarding the qb's remaining, I believe Rogers is the only one over the age of 31. Pretty crazy.

    I think it's actually a pretty good hire. They have talent there so makes sense to bring in a guy with that kind of experience. All that said, fuck Dallas.

    Yeah can't really call that an upgrade or a downgrade from Garrett. Maybe call it a sidegrade?

    Exactly.  He didn't let the ball go through the end zone, didn't take a knee and made no fair catch signal.  It should have been a live ball and a TD.  The guy fucked up big time but got bailed out big time by the NFL and these secret sideline refs.  Guessing Goodell had a direct line to those refs!

    I went 50/50...  Lost first 2, won 2nd 2.

    Really thought the Bills would pull it off and you can't bet against Brady at home.  If Edelman and a few others don't drop their passes it would have ended differently.

    It's time for both NE and Saints to move on from their QB and take a page out of the Giant's notebook.
