Oh, Gronk...

 

 

 

 

Gronk has some VY in him fo sho.  After that he probably said "I was watching Ekbegbu out there and I was mesmerized memorized!"

@Mythos27Maye looks great, doesn't he?

Eh. I still don't trust him. He played pretty efficient ball last night but still had some bad moments particularly early on. I think he's a guy you can't take the handcuffs off of yet.

Looking at NEs schedule, they could win the division. It’s historically easy

He's had a QB rating of 100+ in 4/5 of his games this year.  Whatever bad moments he's had are clearly outnumbered by high quality QB play

I'm not sure how else to tell you I don't trust him yet. His decision-making is still shaky sometimes as is his ball placement.

He was damn near perfect in the 2nd half yesterday. I warned you guys last year he may end of the best of the guys taken last year. He was just the most raw. I think Daniels likely keeps the top spot but Maye looks like he's on his way to being a top 10 QB easily.

Hey, I have no issues being wrong on the guy. I just need to see more from him in terms of down to down consistency. The 2nd half was great but the 1st half was certainly not and if the Bills play like they normally do, that one could've been over by the half.

if I'm a Bills fan that game last night worries me. 2nd game in a row where the Bills should have wiped the floor with their opponent considering the QB and roster advantages. They need to clean that shit up or they will go home early in Jan.

They came out completely flat. Early in the 2nd half they looked like themselves a little then lost momentum. I think a big part of it was the mis-match between the Patriots corners and the Bills receivers. You can only force it to Dalton Kincaid so much. The Bills receivers did make some plays but that Pats defense might be legit. I'm actually pretty disappointed with the Pats running game. Stevenson got right towards the end but the fumbles have to stop and Henderson hasn't had the impact I thought he would. Bills are still the class of the division but they do look human this year.

Gronk is 100% lennie from of mice and men. 

 

VY doesnt have that lovable morron vibe to help him out.

Heard about that one, but never read it yet.

Good book, not long at all only a bit over 100 pages. There is also a decent movie adaptation. Was the first book in school that didnt feel like a chore. On that note, the great Gatsby is a giant pile of shit.

Of Mice and Men is the only book my dad ever read as an adult. I've read thousands. Funny how life can be like that. Anyway, Gronk is a classic meathead. Talented. If he weren't so dumb, I'd think his mistake was racist. But he is that dumb.

 

But back to the Bills for a second. I think they and the Eagles are the best in the NFL. Those are the teams that can beat anyone if they are playing to their potential. But this week shows that it all depends on how you show up on gameday.

I hated To Kill Mockingbird in high school but when I re-read it as an adult I realized it's great and I was just a lazy teen that didn't like feeling forced to read it.

I think this true of most books we assign to HS students. I've re-read several as an adult and realized I just wasn't ready for them in HS.
