Watching games is best. Statistical review is just a reference point. McD plays a rotation as we all know. The idea is that some one stands out each down , when all of them do their job. This is where Jordan is in error with his comments. He is putting himself above the Team. Wonder how Ed feels about that?

simple as that. Hope they work out a deal though. He and Harry would make a sweet rotation. Lets get Stars contract in line and draft or udfa his replacement

I have said it multiple times. Josh is the factor. Not so much the Targets we have. Very good QBs make Ball Catchers look good. He did regress. He acted scared in a few games. Ravens he could not figure out what they were doing. And that may be Coaching. But he looked out of sorts and unable to regain his steadiness a number of games. and why they lost. He is young , i love him and he is Our future. Am very glad he and Daboll get another season together. Cuz Daboll wants to become a HC. and someone will make him that offer. By then Allen needs to be out of the nest and flying on his own. Go Bills Danke

Speaking of good posts. and copying whole post? I wanted to highlight something you wrote. Because i have seen it 1st hand and it is such a good analogy from you. My two Grandsons from one daughter 3 and 5. Spoke Lao 1st and were mixing in english. Now if we do not understand the 3 year old? The 5 year old translates in english. My oldest Grandaughter, 1.5 years is learning Spanish faster than english. She recognizes all the words , but slow to speak them. But like the boys, once they get a handle on it ? watch out. The 5 year old is reading and writing and is a fantastic story teller. You point of a delayed result is quite apt Hap. It's a fact. and i agree with you and Ayjent on most all the points you each have touched upon Merci

The pass blocking was up and down. And the Line was the focus perhaps? Protect your most precious asset. Allen was getting killed year before. McBeanes brought in about 15 linemen past season to raise that bar immediately higher. Beasley Brown Kroft and drafting Singletary were all nice upgrades. and they are ALL new to the team. And new to Allen. Josh takes another step forward this season ? and we will see those dump offs and 3 checkdown. Plus called screens. Key area to improve some very good posts in this thread btw ^

He i quite talented in my humble opinion. he is light and fast . he reads plays pretty well. he is used on the line and does decently there too. But he is too slight to finish RB tackles without risk. Flies around the field nicely though. I would not be quick to give him more money. He played above his pay , but that is what players should strive to regardless. He shows well this year ? someone will give him a payday. Loyalty bonus for him ? Sure. deserves something. Throw him some incentives

The way Josh drops is a really good observation.Lets hope he and his guards can work on that timing and awareness in pass pro. H had some darned nice pockets during the season, I have some faith these details will be coached up

We fans are looking at results on the field and play to play. There certainly is more that the OC provides to his/her offense. Development is something we can see. But how all that is implemented and maintained and then improved is something we cannot see. The way all the Coaches interact and help each other grow and execute as a Group is big deal. Comes from the top. Have some faith in Daboll and what he is building. some reason he was getting interviews : )

and why i love you guys/girls/folks/pet rocks

if i had to trade one for the other? Last season. I am glad the Line was playing as fierce as i have seen a Bills line play in quite a good while. and damned glad of it ! But this season? we need to see them all clean up the mistakes , whether communication or execution. I like our line. get RT sorted and keep the depth we finally have. Well done McBeanes : ) Bills Fanatic !! cough cough .yur pure Bills fan. awesome lets go with your guess for now

Jon thanks you, and so do i.

Nice to see your restraint and use of logic. Knowing McBeanes philosophy and comprehending value for what bills currently have as to how they will be used. The DE OLB who could be considered edge is where something needs to occur. I consider Joseph and unknown commodity. Dodson a bit less so for me. all good points you make and certainly great talking points Thanks !

One of the reasons i respect O lineman. That was pretty carzy for Sean to get that fired up. Loved it though

How'd you find out about Yeldon's errr.., uummm ...situation?

BEAST Get him the finest nursing staff available and get ready to upgrade his seat. Wow. i might have a new hero for me to admire playing O line for our Bills DUDE : D

I am sure putting Ford at T meant they knew he was going to need help. (even though he did not always get it) and that is working around a weakness. They absolutely need to fix that this season. Nothing against the Rook : )

O line and WRs really have one year under Daboll. And it was a hello, glad to meet you year : ). I am happy to get another year from him let them all review the mistakes (and that should keep them busy off season ) and the things they did well, and refocus. In regard to making change or evolving, Daboll has seen quite a few spins on how to run and Offense and I might suggest he has plenty in his toolbox yet. Now whether he can marry that to the players strengths? Well that is what i expect from next season. Nothing less.

Coleman freaked. he was the one attacking . Till the attackee decided to turn the tables. The only thing Hickman was trying to gain might be to show that Loud mouths who talk sht rarely can look the recipient eye to eye. Sure it was kinda crazy, like said hilarious to me , exercise. Glad it was not some true lunatic out to actually burn his house down with him in it. : D whats a zoomer ?

After watching the Ravens play us? hell no. and i think Daboll agrees

I think it was Knox was the blocker. and Sweeney at least adequate. agreed about seeing if Kroft can show up at Camp and preseason. he might have just been another for Veteran presence at the end of the day. Smith will be a tell as to what Bills Offense want to look like next year He played early on while Kroft was injured if you recall He did alright and held his own. Some very nice catches actually. Could not keep Kroft on the bench once healthy enough. and Sweeney needs more time, as does Knox

Simple as this. Did he make a case for keeping him another season? Well starting out injured, and then Bills seem to give him low snap counts as if he was behind on the mental bits(?) guessing here ) He really never stood out, or looked to be 110% I saw enough of his errors unfortunately. Not worth the money, was worth the risk at the time. Definitely definitely could upgrade his position. Two ways Less money , better or equal player via draft. Better player than the whole bunch via FA/trade. I have faith in Knox and then Sweeney to both improve noticeably next season. Kroft if not injured might be all you can get from him. Not Enough imho

Those dogs really know their business. you do not like dogs or horses? ew back

harsh. Coming back to the NFl form the College ranks as National Champs has likely ingrained some methods of developing Josh and the newish team that do not fit " just win todays game" philosophies. The whole thing with jets sweeps in the beginning of the season drove me nuts. Throwing deep early in the game and no catches. Methods are always questionable. But Daboll was not alone in that room as to how Buffalo Offense was handled. Bills offense sucked wind for many reasons, and playcalling was one of them , at times. But execution was more the issue from where i stood. Glad to have Daboll back, expect improvement across the board on Offense this year as long as Josh improves his ball protection and reading, and trusting what he sees. f'n awesome

what plays do you call when your players are not executing i wonder? at the very least i think Allens and the O line nee the continuity one more season. By then McBeanes should have stabilised the Offense generally speaking. at least the roster side of things

I am getting out my dusty old preying crap out just in case. i do. PM Ed though! The kid needs to be at his best and ready to play hard all next season long. Stamina is nothing to short change in the matters.
