not going to win when your 60 million dollar QB plays like a clown. Nothing changed team goes as he goes every week. Defense gave up 24 points, never perfect but should have been enough if Josh played a competent game. Agreed though Brady has sucked past two weeks as well.
You get old fast
Comparing the Sabres to the Bills is interesting to say the least. Your franchise QB needs to play better and O line needs to protect better, plain and simple. I do agree they need help at WR with Palmer out now
Feeling very comfortable with my KC +850 Superbowl champs ticket. This team we've seen the movie vs KC in January. Indy's defense not Super Bowl caliber. Ravens season from hell. Chargers too injured. Broncos great D but Nix and that offense isn't good enough. Houston same as Denver. I know Jax beat KC but hard to believe the Jags could do it again in January. I also have longer shot Super Bowl tickets on TB +3000 and Seattle +6000 so KC vs either of them would be sweet.
So who's the NFL version of Phil Jackson to come in and take the superstar to the final level?
I did the same thing before this week even started. The gap looks wider than ever - with Rice back the offenses are a push at best and obviously a big edge at Defense/Coach. It's not fair that Mahomes gets Spags forever.
Ya they've done a brutal job. The thing is a lot of it isn't even hindsight.
Allen is better than McNabb, but a lot of what Buffalo is going through is strikingly similar to the late 90's/2000's Eagles with McNabb and Reid. From roster weaknesses to losing every big game they were favored in January.
eh? outside of Dawkins the o-line is pretty young... everyone else is well under 30 and even Dawkins is only 31. Even the d-line outside Bosa is relatively young. The big issue isn't age, it's that the team has very limited high end talent outside of two players because Beane has missed on so many high draft picks where teams usually get the high end talent from. The second big issue is that, most of the defensive line starters is replacement level and the back 7 starters are well below replacement level. The third big issue is that the receivers are actually worse than the back 7 of the D.
agreed on the loss of Kincaid, which what was so different of offense this year as opposed to last year? Is Mack Collins that much better than who they brought in to replace him. To me it's the O line getting steamrolled in pass protection which has left Josh looking pedestrian the past 5 weeks even when he has time he doesn't look right back there. The wide receiver group isn't very good but they got away with it last year.
Bills defense was 9th in total D when McDermott called plays. FWIW
But Dawkins is looking old this year and he plays the most important position on the line. Milano is getting up there and always injured. Combine those two with Knox and those are your 2nd, 3rd, and 4th highest paid players. Daquan Jones is up there too and now he's likely out a while. I think most of this is on Beane. I put less on the coaching staff.
Think people are just kind of dumb in our social media instant reaction world now. Last year the team averaged 359/ypg which was 9th in the league. This year it's 378/ypg which is 3rd and 9 yards behind Dallas for 1st and yet people are so spoiled and out of touch that they think that's bad and the OC should be fired. Last night looked rough having no good answers to getting blitzed by a good defense. That happens. There are no unbeatable teams in the league. And most teams in the NFL don't have a WR1, there's only about a dozen of those guys in the world and everyone else wants one too. Only way to get them is to be bad and have a pick in the top 10-15, get stupidly lucky in the draft later or pay multiple day 1 and 2 picks in a trade.
Benford going from a stud making no money to a bum this year was something unforseeable as well. Thought we had a shutdown corner and now he's below league average so far this year. White is bad bad. Had to figure we had a good CB1, Hairston to have an up and down rookie year as a hopefully solid CB2, Taron as our maybe best defensive player as a great nickel and then Tre just to be a part timer/backup. Instead that whole room has went to sheeeet from the jump with Taron the only one with even average grades so far.
I know that for a fact. Had Cook over 10 yards receiving and he had 0. Cooked my parlay.
