And if they get fired this offseason, that deal would have been just long enough to cost them their jobs.

Yeah the moment that news broke I was actually stunned, I mean that was a franchise choking move, the kind that ends regimes early. I see a similar fate lying in Miami soon too with all the poor personnel and cap decisions they have made the past 2 seasons.

Agreed...And its earned grace if we are being fair to Mahomes...its not like he won those SB's in the fashion of someone like Trent Dilfer or something. Dude won it all last year on one leg with a weak group of weapons. While I think Allen deserves to be right there with him, Mahomes has earned his leeway on the field. Now...if you want to know what separates Allen and Mahomes...well to me that is Chris Jones. Mahomes can afford more mistakes than Allen because KC's doesn't rely solely on Mahomes to close out games even though Mahomes almost always delivers when they do need him to close out a game. In Buffalo, how many times has Allen give the D a lead late and we still lost?

Daboll drove me nuts here, I couldn't wait for him to leave. He was allergic to running the football, would call plays like he was more interested in being seen as some sort of guru or genius rather than making good football decisions, and was incredibly stubborn in sticking to what he wanted. Last year he is on the road back in Buffalo for the first time, on the goalline with the best RB in football and the only talented player on their entire offense. He has literally time for one play to win the game needing the TD. His starting QB is out. Tyrod, who isn't known for seeing the field and passing, is his backup QB. What does he do...drops Tyrod back taking away his legs (TT best asset) and throwing over the trenches instead of just hading the ball off to their best player to get one yard against a team notorious for not being good at stopping the run. That is Daboll in a nut shell...like throwing a 30 yard wheel route on 4th and short to a FB who barely plays when your QB is Josh Allen. Just stupid stuff all the time. So, its not a surprise to me to see this failing in NY personally. I think the bigger surprise for me is how bad Schoen has been. I really thought he would have taken more away from learning under Beane, but the moment he decided to pay Daniel Jones they put the death nail in their tenure there. It cost them Barkley, but more importantly, it cost them a chance to rebuild and buy themselves some time during the rebuild where they didn't need to win right away. Instead, they go and give all this money to a weak QB who not only isn't very good but may be more fragile than Tua and then spend big on Burns? Like GM 101...you got a clean slate, clean house and rebuild...tweaking and failing will get you fired fast. Rebuilding gets you time and a better shot a sustained success.

Not sure Pickens is the guy he should watch film on, he has a poor work ethic, attitude and runs lazy and sloppy routes if he doesn't think he is getting the ball. But also...Pickens is in his 3rd season now...Coleman will continue to develop in all areas as he gets more reps and targets on the field.

And consider this too...Keon only had 1 catch over weeks 2 and 3 (for a TD week 3) because week 2 it was the Cook show and our offense chewed clock the 2nd half where Allen only threw for like 130 yards and week 3 where Keon was benched 1st quarter for being late and then only really played the 2nd quarter as again the offense just chewed clock second half. Not to mention, the offense had a slow start week 1 where Allen only had 2 pass attempts with around 2 min left in the first half. Had those first 3 weeks been games where we were really throwing all 4 quarters and Keon was involved in all 4 each week not having to miss one, he would be probably closer or past 25 rec and approaching 500 yards.

His life flashed before his eyes on that one and he was dazed on the bench...I didn't know if he would even make it back in the game after they showed his so distraught on the bench after that hit. I mean his face had a look on it like he just got hit by a car

Davis was a liability with getting his feet in bounds though, I think people forget how many times he should have completed a catch but didn't becuase of his feet. There was one last year he was like 3 or 4 yards from the sideline and still didn't get both feet in. The issue wasn't that he "couldn't" it was he did not have good positional awareness or focus at times. And Keon already has a more expansive route tree and runs them better IMO than Davis thanks to how much more athletic and twitchy Keon is compared to Davis who tends to round off his routes. Keon has a lot still to learn of course, but I just don't think they are similar at all as players outside some low hanging fruit stuff like neither having great straight line speed, both having good size. Their skill sets are quite different. 2 things Davis has on Keon right now is blocking (but Keon isn't far behind, was known as the best blocker of the WR class this year too) and improvising when Allen is scrambling...both things that are more a reflection of Keon being a rookie and still developing and learning in those areas. Now in terms of role, if you want to say similar to Davis in terms he isn't a focal point yet in the offense, then sure I can see why you would say that. But I think this comparison by many people keeps getting thrown around for the wrong reasons with Keon and Davis as they really are not that similar of a player on the field. I do agree about Brandon Marshall, in fact, I said if Keon can reach his potential then he could be a blend of Hopkins and Marshall (not saying he is now, saying if he reached his potential). Neither of those guys were straight line fast, but they learned the nuances that create the separation to be consistently dangerous WR's and used their ball skills. size, and body control down field even when the separation wasn't there as the prototypical "open even when not open" type WR's. Funny enough, Keons pro day 40 time was faster than both those guys, Davante Adams, Cooper Kupp, etc. What will determine Keon's long term success as a top tier WR will be how well he can develop his game off the line and the nuances and sudden movements to create the separation consistently. He is already good on certain routes like a hook or comeback route and the slant. The good news on Keon is he has the athletic ability to get there potentially where as Gabe never had the athletic ability to be much more than what he is now.

Gabe Davis had a limited route tree and didn’t run crisp routes. Coleman is already a better route runner from the aspect of a bigger route tree alone and has substantially better body control, feet, and positional awareness. Coleman is also more explosive with the ball in his hands and RAC. Calling him Davis with hands is short changing Coleman’s tool box of skills. They really are not at all that similar.

Pretty sure Worthy’s life flashed before his eyes at least twice today. Also: Worthy 13.2 ypc Coleman 20.4 ypc 👀

Nope. And neither would McD

Helluva catch by Cooper and helluva RAC(s) by Shakir

Bernard came to play

Wow that was such a difficult catch by Kincaid, thing of beauty

Carter > Troy Franklin

I love Allen as much as anyone. But doesn’t change the fact that Allen has left a lot on the field going back to the Ravens game.

Allen has missed several opportunities today. He’s struggle with his field vision the past few weeks

Glad to see Cooper fixed all our offensive woes lol

I’m gonna go start the thread for Badol to apologize for Coopers drop 😂

You must not watch the games given he’s made at least 3 already.

I mean this will be something that is subjective to the person commenting. For me, it's not down, I think this season is actually great because there is so much more parity to it. This may be the least "top heavy" season we have had in a long time where it feels like there are a dozen legit teams that if they can get hot at the right time could make a run. BUT...I do think it may "seem" down for Bills fan specifically though and here is why. Nothing to do with the Bills themselves, but the Bills had 4 primetime games in the first 6 weeks. That meant no Sunday games when the bulk of the games are being played. I know when the Bills are on and other games are on too, I am much more invested in those other games because I am sitting down focused on football. So I got the Bills on my big main TV and then the other games on my 2 side TV's. But when the Bills don't play Sunday, I usually take advantage and do still have football on in the background, but I am doing other things like getting stuff done around the house etc. So I have technically watched "less" this year so far with Bills not playing on Sunday in 4 of the 6 weeks, but not really because lack of interest, but more to take advantage to get more done on those particular Sundays then I typically would with Bills on.

Both Carter and Davis are both looking better than Franklin so far. Swing and a miss on this line you are taking. And he also didn't have a good camp, had dropped TD passes this year, and hasn't done much of anything as a rookie. But hey, you saw him average 10 ypc for a whopping 5 catches in one game (something any bench WR can do on any given day) and suddenly Beane missed the boat? LOL This board never fails to entertain at its fullest. Franklin may end up being a good starting NFL WR...he may prove to be a bust. We won't know until a few years down the road...but what we do know is that last night literally proved nothing about him either way.

But that’s just it, I never said that. I said it’s harder when you pick late, and said it does happen, but it’s just harder.

I know, which is why I said it happens, but the fact remains it is harder when you are picking people who have more developing to do to reach that kind of potential. I mean there is a reason the bust rates go up with as you move deeper into the draft. So lets not pretend its just easy to find a Chris Jones in the 2nd...if so, there wouldn't be just one of him.
