We also had different coordinators at that time... Beating the Lamar in the playoffs to go to the AFC champ doesnt count as beating a good team? This is some weird circular argument: We beat Lamar, they dont make playoffs (partly because of the loss to us), not making the playoffs means they arent a "good team", therefore Buffalo hasnt beat a good team... Either Lamar is a tier 1 QB or he isnt.

Josh can hit "deep balls" when defined by yards down field because he has zero problem with deep crossers and deep dig routes. He just struggles with straight go routes at the hashes that require over the should catches.

I dont think people really expected us to have a top 3 O-line. With all of the offseason discussion around our offense and how it will handle the loss of WR talent, I never heard anyone suggest we can offset WR talent loss with improved O-line play. But so far thats what we are seeing.

I liked the play where Allen held him with his eyes and then threw a laser to Shakir in the middle of the field. Gave Poyer a real taste of what its like to play against Josh.

Yes its likely they dont *love* anyone at 2.01 and that there was a group of 4-5 players they would be ok taking at 1.32 or 2.01.

I remember your stories going back to last season. It really soured me on Diggs. Im not too upset about this.

Its the Vikings pick, who wont be very good likely. So could be a high 2nd rounder.

I think the reason Dorseys offense looked ok overall was because Josh would go berserker mode and try to save the game, hitting long runs and big plays which would ultimately elevate the stats. I dont know how to track this but I would love to see DVOA and EPA/play for plays made "in structure" between Dorsey and Brady. Under Dorsey it felt like nothing happened in structure. The entire offense was drop back, scan, scramble, hit something out of structure. It felt impossibly difficult. Under Brady it felt like Josh hit a lot more in structure. So while the final result of a drive may be the same, it just was exhausting to watch under Dorsey.

This assumes the Vrabel wasnt sick of ownership. This decision may have been made because of Vrabels feelings toward the org. Even if someone is a good coach, sometimes a relationship becomes to soured they have to go. I expect hell be in Foxborough soon

Seems like it based on that video. But Miami is in a bit of a weird spot since they are already in the playoffs. Theres an argument to be made that they should consider resting guys that are close if theres a risk of re-injury. What is better, having the player on the road in Kansas City or potentially not having the player at home against Buffalo again?

You should go back and look at how those 2021 Bills finished the season.

I think the biggest factor is: do they want to rest starters for 2 weeks? Aside from an injury, I dont think you want Lamar and the offense resting for that long. The last two games have been incredible for Lamar and the team. I think the starters play for a half at least. This same exact situation happened in 2019 and the players have talked about the fact that the rest screwed them up a bit.

Trading Mario for Skelton, was that mentioned?

Simply put: we technically dont control our own destiny right now. But for week 16 alone, If ANY of Mia, Jax, Cin, Cle or Ind lose then we are guaranteed a spot if we win out.

12-2, pretty good! And to further clarify, what I really mean is December into January (regular season): from 2020-2022 we closed on a 4 game win streak each year. And are 2-0 thus far.
