Mr. WEO

Bills were 5th in rushing attempts (7th in yards) last season. This year they are 10th in attempt's and 7th in yards.

Why would that be true? He has 40 catches all year--12 games--481 yards....fewer in Buffalo than when he was Cleveland (where he was in on 89% of the snaps). The Browns passing game took a large bump since he left--an anemic 142 ypg to 273 ypg. It's hyperbole to say his 47% snaps and rare targets transformed the Offense. Also, him being mainly a decoy would not put the Bills in the #1 seed were he here all season.

Rather he said Jordan....

Kincaid catching 58%, Hollins 58%, Cooper 59.3%, Coleman 60.5%.

maybe it wasn't a gun, he was just happy to be there...

True. Will wait for @blancolirio or @pilotdebrief for the straight dope on this one

Yet the Giants are a much worse team. Mara must be sending Woody a huge Holiday gift basket for absorbing all of the stupid NFL owner heat for him and Tisch.

Is that still a company? Did Josh lift that off some kid in the Sahara?

I was referring to that guy in his basement in the OP's link. Highlights Miller getting pancaked by a double team and says "but look at the pressure!"

replacing vacuum gauges with glass (or at least a few G5's and a nice GPS) is a common upgrade for an older single--increases useful load and the value of the plane. The hardest part is paying for the upgrade and getting it done within 6 months given how busy these shops are. True some will keep a single vacuum gauge like the AI or a separate G5 on a separate battery for backup. I wasn't speculating on the electrical failure--it was mentioned in the first report I looked up immediately after (WIVB). Who knows if it's accurate--if his radios were working, probably not electrical. A cell phone can act as a GPS and can be used to call the tower phone.

sounds like he was close to KBUF so probably in contact with approach or even tower. I don’t know what the ceilings were but sounds like he wax close to the field. Seems like if they cleared his m for KBUF they felt he would see and make the runway with current ceilings. They would have directed him to alternate with higher ceilings. The plane is still flying without electric power. Radios would be out as well as GPS if he had one. Flaps might not work but can land without. Maybe he had glass panels without vacuum backup instructions

it was online WIVB.com now saying "mechanical issues" and pilot declared emergency. An electrical failure won't typically bring a plane like that down.

25 min to show a handful of plays—a few of which actually show him getting swallowed up in a double team or getting on the pile. high impact players don’t require Zapruder film level analysis I doubt they holding him back…. it wasn’t that long ago where many were parsing every play of teen sensation Tremaine Edmunds to convince everyone else how good he is (we just don’t know what we are looking at, etc).

when was the last time Miller was seen alive?

"The same source said that it is possible that an electrical issue caused the crash." strange...

Jeudy wouldn't have changed the outcome (see: Browns). Rodgers was washed 2 years ago. Woody was right.

No, actually I'm not. Not sure how that is your conclusion of from what I have been posting. But anyway, the topic is whether Kelly is a top 5 if he was playing today. The three other guys I mentioned could be--based on their stats while they were contemporaries with Kelly, who's team did not run as much of the Offense through him. It is yes. And yes the rules favor the passing game more now for sure. But even in his prime, there were much better passers in the league than Kelly> I've mentioned them as the only likely guys from that era that would be top 5 today. What is Kelly better at than Burrow? We hear over and over how much tougher QBs had it back then---yet every season we see starters getting lit up and knocked out of games, missing games, IR, countless backups getting starts. Because of so many more dropbacks they take compared to 30 years ago, QBs today take a lot more hits. I didn't miss those at all--in fact, it makes my point. Kelly was surrounded by HOFers. So they won a ton of games with modest passing numbers. Imagine those Bills with that Defense, Thurman....and Marino behind Center. At least 1 Lombardy would be in the Bills trophy cabinet.

I understand the hagiography around Kelly, but there's just no way he's a top 5 QB, in his prime, today. He led the league 2 times in his career in passing yards (3844, 3593 yards). He wasn't a prolific passer (even by his era's standards) and his run game was modest. Compared to his contemporaries: Marino led the league 6 times (5084, 4706, 4434, 4137, 3997, 3563). Moon did it 4 times (4690, 4689, 3631, 3489). Fouts 5 times (4802, 4715, 4082, 3740, 3638). Marino led the league in TDs 2 times (48 and 44). Kelly had 1 season over 25 (33). He had Jim Everett career numbers-plus a few more TDs per season. These 3 guys, far more than Kelly,likely could have been top 10 in their prime today. Other QBs in that era were lighting it up---with the different rules, with the different schemes.

He had 2 seasons of 3500+ yards. He was top 10 in yardage 6 times in 11 seasons (3 times top 5). He was top 10 in pick 6 six times (#1 in 3 different seasons). 7 seasons under 60% completed. He passed for more than 25 TDs once. today, he would be 20+ in a list of QBs. there are few QBs back then who would be close to top 5 today. Obviously Marino, Fouts. Maybe Moon.

in what year?

Why isn't it Taylor? Did he force Burrow to throw 2 picks and lose a fumble Sunday (against a terrible Titans D)? Brady is a HC candidate only because of Josh Allen right. I mean Dorsey had them at #2 in scoring in 2022 and so did Daboll in 2020 (and #3 in 2021). How has that worked out for those 2? Also, if your GM dumps the HC simply because the QB wants his buddy to take over...then you need a new GM.

it's more than he has deserved the past 2 weeks....

as far as cancers go, Bledsoe wasn't much of one--he would be like a basal cell, whereas it turns out that Diggs was recurrent (Vikings were in remission when they traded him and and drafted his far better replacement) pancreatic.

Why would Burrow think another Offensive HC would have them with a better record? They have the 5th ranked scoring Offense. Saying, basically, that any top franchise QB can get his HC fired at will isn't a compelling argument in this case. Wouldn't Burrow be better off advocating for his DC's firing/replacement?

Hmmm---this is a real head scratcher. Maybe we can look back on Beane's history of WR signings to suss out just what may be happening here. To wit, these signings: Deonte Hardy Trent Sherfield Crowder Emanuel Sanders Jake Kumerow Andre Roberts Duke Williams Kelvin Benjamin Jeremy Kerley Devonte Thompson Jordan Matthews John Brown 2.0 Wesley 2.0 Beane treats filling the WR room with veterans like a guy pretending all day to be answering emails at work....
