I'm not sure that McCoy doesn't meet the model. I think he does, and that's why were willing to pay him more than he might be worth next season.

I don't think it will take all that much to be very competitive. If we don't ***** the bed in free agency, and have an OK draft were on the bubble. Anything else will get us there: Luck, better in game coaching, some of our younger players taking a big step forward, you name it! If really unlucky circumstances, like loosing our two best o-line men unexpectedly right after trading away a coveted left tackle, don't happen we should be good.

To be fair, it feels like we brought up half our ps during the season.

That’s the one player I never understood moving on from. I knew it would have been tough with the cap but still.

I don't get too worked up about the preseason.

In 2014 he had us as the second best special teams unit in the league. Sort of makes you wonder what's different now?

It seems like the coaching staff has been switching up key positions on special teams all season, and using a lot of rookies and guys off the practice squad to do it. From what I've seen most of our problems have been the result of the players. When a returner fumbles I don't blame the coach.

Not so sure Crossman is the problem. He's put out good units most of the time, and sometimes great units.

Definitely not a good GM but I think he's a very good to great talent evaluator.

Don't disagree that he's likely to be cut, but 4.5 isn't that much for a TE that can "catch" and block. Lets face facts . . . he's still our best TE . . . and our third best target.

I was really excited about it at the time. I believe my thoughts were something like "Doug Whaley is a genius!" ?

All part of that contract structuring to screw the phins. Give him all the money up front so they can't match it.

Placed on leave.

Considering the other guy . . . definitely a slap on the wrist.

Nevermind that we lost two starting o line.

I remain completely unpersuaded by the article. It just sounds like someone who came up with a narrative wrote a few half researched anecdotes and published. Every team already has a win and a loss, and there have been plenty of big upsets. If any other year is an indication there are several teams that are going to suddenly pull it together just like there will be several who will unexpectedly collapse.

Yeah because we shut down their offense. It's hard to have 13 points of offense and over 300 yards passing.

If our offense keeps up this level of production, or gets worse with the change of qb the streak will likely continue since teams will have no reason to pass late.

Not sure that you can put many of the bad outcomes on special teams on Crossman.

Because he's actually a good coach! or maybe there's some nefarious reason he's managed to stick around through multiple regime changes? He didn't take the "clown" with him because we didn't let him.

I agree the turnovers dropped off a little, but it was still unusually high and is looking like it might be unusually high this season too. Attacking the ball is how the bills tackle, it doesn't seem to be with every team.

Their turn over production is absolutely insane, I hope they can keep it up!

I'm sure he out to.

How the $%$#^ are you not seeing our o-line? I understand they don't always point the cameras at the receivers, but they're not good either.
