  1. The Jests will be Jests...kinda like the Browns...as if adding a new logo helped them. Which team is worse?
  2. It wasn't just the NY Giants with the #2 pick for an RB; the Browns passed on him twice, with QB Baker Mayfield going #1 overall and #4 for a CB. The NY Jets took QB Sam Darnold #3 overall. Next, Denver took a DE, and the Colts took an OG. All QB-needy teams. All scroood the pooch!
  3. When you think about the Dolphins' 2023 season with Tyreek Hill and his 1799 yards receiving and 13 TDs, Jaylen Waddle also had 1014 receiving yards and 4 TDs. Which BTW, was the #2 in points for, and #1 in yards for offense in the NFL that season. When Tua was healthy in week two Buffalo this season held Tyreek Hill to 6 targets, 3 receptions for 24 yards. Waddle had 4 targets, and 4 receptions for 41 yards. Miami in this past game with their season on the line at 2-6, Hill had 5 targets, and 4 receptions for 80 yards. Waddle had 2 targets, and 2 receptions for -4yards. And Tua was near perfect with 25 of 28 for 235 yards, 2 TDs. A win is a win! I just hope the Buffalo defense has an answer for that 2021 game with Taylor's 32 rushes for 185 yards, and 4 TDs in a 41 to 15 loss.
  4. Not for me. I love this style of offense, as it takes so much heat off of Josh Allen, and he doesn't need to put on the cape as often. The 2024 Buffalo Bills are a very, very balanced offense, and they pick and choose what they want to do against an opponent. One-dimensional offenses can be shut down and Buffalo is no longer that team. Daboll had his issues when Josh had difficulty throwing it. Daboll just kept calling pass plays, resulting in 40+ pass attempts in some games. Meanwhile, Allen was under great duress during these games, getting hit and taking sacks. As the OP noted defenses have caught up with that bombs-away offense as it usually only works against weak teams nowadays. Buffalo OC Joe Brady is the best OC this franchise has seen since the Jim Ringo/Ted Marchibroda days of the late 80's, and early 90's. Plus, foul weather doesn't have the same effect on a team that can run the ball well or pass it equally well. This offense is so good that lately, the multiple penalties during drives don't stop or even stall them for very long.
  5. 61 yards...whot a kick!
  6. 61-yarder for the Bass Master!
  7. Its Reid. No other QB from an "air Raid scheme has amounted to anything near Mahomes. Let's not forget that ole Patty boy sat for a year behind QB Alex Smith and the Chiefs were already a playoff team. In 2013, they were 11-5 in Reid's first year in KC. 2014. 9-7 Smith was injured and only played in 8 games. 2015, 11-5 2016, 12-4 2017, 10-6 2018. 12-4 Mahomes first year starting. That's in Reid's first six seasons with no SBs. However, since then, it's been playoffs every season with 4 SBs, winning 3. The roadblocks prior to 2019 were mostly the NE Patriots and Tom Brady. The roadblocks for Buffalo have been mostly the KC Chiefs. Yes, Patrick Mahomes is special. However, I think Josh Allen means more to Buffalo than Mahomes does to KC.
  8. That Bill Belicheat created as HC & GM.
  9. If we could do that... I'd nix the trade-up for Sammy Watkins (Mr Glass) and take any one of the many other better players. Like WR Mike Evans, Khalil Mack, and Aaron Donald. That 2014 NFL draft had fifteen first-rounders that made all pro or Pro Bowl and another twelve that came after the first round that Buffalo missed on. That year's draft still irks me!
  10. Agree! There was a time when Brian Daboll was very harsh at Josh Allen by yelling and screaming at him on the sidelines. This might be one reason why he was moved upstairs into the booth. Yes, Daboll schemed up some very good passing game plans and Josh ran them well. There were other times that Josh had difficulty with certain defensive schemes and Daboll just kept calling pass plays regardless. At times to the tune of 40+ pass attempts and this while Josh was under great duress from a vicious pass rush. Daboll had his issues...also, with little or no run game. Currently, the 2024 Buffalo Bills have an offense like the old Jim Kelly/Thurman Thomas offense in which they would run first to set up the passing game. I marvel at how well the Bills can run the ball at times. The Bills have 192 pass attempts and 192 rush attempts...talk about balance. I think that the Ravens game was an anomaly in that the game got out of hand quickly and that the new center had difficulty with pass protections for the offensive line. Josh Allen wasn't the same guy we all know and love in that game and I also think it affected him the next week against the Texans. I think Joe Brady is the best OC this team has had since Ted Marchibroda/Jim Ringo with such a balanced team and stout run game.
  11. Well, in 2022, Belichick had an ex-defensive coordinator (Matt Patricia) calling the offensive plays, which ruined QB Mac Jones. To add to that, Ole Bill told Patriots owner that QB Tom Brady was done as a productive NFL QB. The Patriots let Brady leave and he went on to Tampa Bay to win another Super Bowl with the Bucs! The 2023 New England Patriots went 4-13 promoting the Patriots owner to FIRE Belichick! After this, I'd tend to think that the entire reason why the Patriots were so successful from 2001 (Brady's first year at QB) until he left the team (winning six SBs while going to nine) during that time was mostly GOAT QB Tom Brady. There was a real reason why Belichick was fired in New England after such a long successful tenure. Then considering that Belichick was both HC & GM their entire roster is currently garbage...the 2024 Patriots are 1-6. There is also a real reason as to why no NFL team hired Ole Bill as their HC this past offseason. Why some Buffalo Bills fans would want that bum over the 2nd winningest HC in the NFL in the last five years? (KC HC Andy Reid is the winningest)
  12. My take is that Schoen bought into Daboll being a QB whisperer with Josh Allen, whom he supposedly coached up into a superstar QB. Daboll rode Josh Allen's arm to be a HC when he isn't even that good an OC. The NY Giants need a better than 28th or so offensive line to help develop a young QB along with building a decent run game. Here you have a GM listening to a not so good HC on what the team needs. Daboll is toast, Schoen might get another chance IMO.
  13. Ain't no way this team hires Brian Daboll again as he didn't get along with McD. Daboll needs a superstar QB to make him look good and with no real run game, he will get him injured fast.
  14. I'm pretty certain that the HC has some input into who they keep and who gets paid. The Giants chose to pay QB Jones 35 million a year with 82 million guaranteed. They chose not to pay RB Barkley who just ripped them a new one and let's not forget that they used a #2 overall pick on that RB in 2018. Right now Joe Flacco would be a better choice at QB if they had kept Barkley. The Giants made their bed and now must sleep with the dogs they chose. Daboll is partly at fault for the situation the Giants are in right now. 2-4 and they drafted a talented WR for the QB...who stinks!
