Why not upgrade bennett to the roster he knows somewhat of the offense no need to bring someone completely new who has to get familiar with everything
He was cut pre season wasn't he?!
-
With Taylor back I'd be surprised if the Bills don't realise Johnson soon.
-
I would imagine there are quite a few people willing to take the job. I don't think it will be a hard sell to candidates.

Yes Griff was to blame for the actual botch of the play but for me the bigger picture is why it was even called in the first place in the field position and with the scores as they were. The last few years there have been plenty of conservative plays called when we could have had a realistic chance of converting a fourth down so of all the times to get adventurous in one of our biggest regular season games beggars belief really.

No doubt a tough schedule but the panthers results haven't come against any real decent teams so far so I feel their standing is a little padded so far. Atlanta a bit more impressive with results against the eagles and cowboys (although neither of those two have looked as good as last year)
-
The frustrating thing is if the offence could click we would actually have a pretty good team the way the D is playing this year. If we can only sort the CB issue out and stop some of these long passing gains.

I'm torn on the result of the game. On the one hand I expected that this might be a loss on the road when the schedule was released, it's a tough place to go for any team and had the extra bite of being RR first game in charge of the Bills. On the other hand there were some frustrating elements to our game that plauged us last year still happening. We start out slow get behind, abandon the run game and stick it all on Lucks back throwing bombs down field (in that weather too!). We have some good talent at RB now yet it seemed the coaches panicked and forgot them. Mistakes and turnovers at key times continue also. I think we're in danger of becoming too predictable when chasing a game. The killers for this game was giving up the TD just before half time which changed the game and the 2 Dorsett fumbles costing us field position and a FG. I thought the D line was solid and I'm optimistic with Parry, Anderson and Langford. As said the ilb position worries me. The o line wasn't as bad as some are suggesting imo against the bills D. This game was also a good reminder of what we'd look like with a QB that's not as good as Luck. He had a bad game from his usual standards and the results were there to see which is a worry. We need a far more balanced team that are able to carry a QB if needed. Having expected the loss from this one I anticipated the next 4 as wins and I think there can be few excuses for a serious SB contender if that's not the case against those teams. I'm keeping the faith and hoping Paganos hot seat doesn't get hotter!

One of the few advantages of living in England is that the early kick off games start at 6pm here so I'm usually home whatever to follow the colts. On the down side the night games and mid week games don't usually get under way until 1.30am and if the colts are playing I only usually end up with a few hours sleep before work Monday!

No risk trade really and good against the run by all accounts. Any particular reason he dropped so low in draft after high projections?
-
Werner must be brought up in around 80% of the threads on here claiming he's useless regardless of if the topic relates to him or not. The biggest issue here is he's being hung out to dry because of his first round pick status and imo it's clouding peoples opinion of a decent squad player. Yes he's had some rough times but he's 2 years into his career and still learning. Does he need to show progress?! Sure he does but I was shocked to see the amount of posters who believed he should be cut this year. I understand the disappointment in relation to his draft pick but the guy can still do a job and his thread whipping boy status goes overboard at times. I'm not saying he will ultimately turn into a great player just that currently he's not the terrible player some insist.
-
I'm genuinely suprised he hasn't been cut by now tbh. He hasn't played in 2 years and I'm not sure what they're expecting out of him this year for the 3.5mil. He's obviously going to make the final rosta or he would have been cut by now. Obviously a mute point now but what pay did Mathis end up taking and surely if you're going to take a gamble with money he was a good option in these circumstances.
-
Wasn't expecting much from the o line to begin with because of the reshuffling this year and it will take time to gel. Mewhort is going to have his ups and downs moving to RT. The biggest plus this year will be if we can keep a consistent healthy line that learn to play with each other.
-
This has a wiff of wanting to move on before anything else is uncovered by appealing or taking it further. After that ridiculous statement last week attempting to 'explain' the texts etc it would have been the last thing the Pats would have needed if anything concrete came up showing it to be trash.
-
And most bank managers don't get a heads up before the bank robbers show up and then allow them to rob the bank ...
Yet the bank robbers would still be punished........
-
Given that the balls were tested before the game and deemed acceptable what was meant to be the next course of action for the league to prevent this happening? Are we suggesting that should have outright told the Pats not to deflate the balls?
Wow. I am surprised by this statement from you. The league was given a heads up about the Pats and the air pressure and did nothing until half time of a title game. If you are fine with that than I guess our discussion is over.
-
It's poor old BB I feel sorry for the most in all this. Fancy being such a renowned control freak as him and obviously having absolutely not even the slightest idea what your star QB is up too!!!! Seriously though is anyone really buying that! I think BB is just smarter at covering his tracks.
-
With what Reitz is being paid this year I can't see him being a backup. Thomas I think should be cut.
-
I think we're going to draft heavy on D in the draft and build it for the future rather than FA short term solutions.
-
If my employer requests me to do something repeatedly and I don't I would call that a failure of conduct!
-
I think if we were going to get a safety in FA we would have done so by now as the decent ones who were available have already been taken. I think we're going draft with safety.
-
I demand a 'we released Michael Hill' thread. TRich is old news!
-
I think they'll be a few more cuts to increase our cap space yet.
-
Add that to our cap space from over the cap website and we're on around £138 mill now.

So if the Johnson deal doesn't pan out where do you think we go next with WR? Obviously we're looking for an experienced presence at WR to compliment our youth.
Colts coming to London!
