20 minutes ago, Allen2Diggs said:Update: Apparently there's already a rule about this:
Makes sense, as others have mentioned it’s definitely a conflict of interest. I saw some talk upthread about the potential for a ref to make calls somewhat in favor of the players that give them autographs, and it’s definitely possible. It also would be hard for a player to say no to a ref for fear of unfavorable rulings in the future I would think.

My fantasy team is looking really lame too.
I never pay attention to BYE weeks, as I always assume I can just grab a guy or 2 if necessary to fill those gaps. Not this time! 😅
Josh Allen
Stefon Diggs
AJ Brown
Dalvin Cook
Tyler Higbee
Dallas Goedert
I had to pick up Taysom Hill & set him as a FLEX starter I'm so desperate, & I still have 2 slots to fill... I may just not even try, as I'm not cutting anyone else.
Could be worse still… I’m in a 14 person league with some friends, and half as a joke, one picked every single bills player and has been starting the bills each week. He’s been 5-1 so far, but that’s changing to 5-2 as he can’t field a team.
-
Daquan Jones currently is the most frequently double teamed DT in the league, and still is top 5 among DTs in pass rush win rate. I’d rather work on the offensive line, especially considering Ed Oliver and Greg Rousseau can be disruptors as well.

I don't know but a lot of folks view Marino & Kelly as two of the "greats".
Marino, yes but Kelly, maybe? Most places you look have Kelly ranked ~21/22 best QB in NFL history. If that still counts as one of the greats, sure but i feel like that’s a pretty big group.

Ok? And the Bills have the snow to their advantage. Everyone has home field advantage in some way shape or form.
The Bills have the advantage of being more used to the cold/snow because they are in NY.
The Dolphins have the advantage of being more used to the heat because they are in Florida.
The amount of snow/the cold is not different for either team, and so the bills only advantage is the experience dealing with it.
The Dolphins have a sideline that is significantly cooler than their opponents from the shade. They have the advantage of less heat, as well as more experience dealing with heat.

First of all, it wasn't me. Second of all, he has 2,257 total yards. Divided by 6, it's 372.8. So yes, the OP got it wrong...by .7 yard (I assume he rounded up).
My bad for saying you, you were defending him so I mistook you for being the OP. But also, the OP said 317.67 yards per game, quite a bit off from the 372.8 figure you give.

Total yards per game.
No, passing yards. They have him at 257 rushing yards, which if you take away from the 1980 passing yards they list would give an average on 287, so your number would still be off if that was the case.
Edit: I see what happened, You took the ESPN stats for passing yards which hasn’t updated the 6th game and divided the previous total by 6 @Doc -

heck no. season averages.
NFL.com has Josh at 1980 Passing yards, which would be an average of 330 per game. Not sure what im missing here, but your numbers look off.

I think McDermott is conservative scheme wise, but as for game management he is more aggressive. Of course A lot of that is probably due to faith in Allen.

It's not just today.
His poor instincts regularly cost this team possessions and points.
I think that the Bills signing Crowder and also drafting Shakir in the same offseason is a very good indication that they are ready to move on as well.
If they were ready to move on from McKenzie they would have just not signed him this offseason. IIRC Crowder is on a one year deal, so also doesn’t change a thing. And I think adding Crowder+Shakir was more about replacing Beasley, who McKenzie was backing up.

even Adams isn't offering these goofy explanations as to why he tossed the guy.
Not saying I agree with Augie completely here, but Adams made a very similar excuse to both points 1 and 2.
1) “I want to apologize to the guy, there was some guy running off the field, and he ran, like jumped in front of me coming off the field”2) “that was just frustration mixed with him literally just running in from of me.”
Obviously in an apology, he’s not gonna say you shouldn’t startle an angry athlete, but it wasn’t terribly far from I was (an) angry (athlete) and he startled me.-

Same, I never understood the move. They're the #2 seed right now and SB is having a monster year. He's playing himself into a long-term extension.
CMC on the other hand isn't blowing up the league like he's done in the past and Carolina is a dumpster fire. I wonder if injuries are finally taking their toll on him, or if Carolina is just too bad to be carried. It's much more reasonable they'd want to trade him, but I wouldn't see it happening until after the season along with a firing of coach and new QB.The Giants are actually the current 6 seed of the NFC. Eagles currently hold the division, and the cowboys have the tiebreaker for the first wildcard spot.

Yeah, basically if the Bills don't add him to the active roster within 3 weeks he has to be put on IR.
Interesting that while the Games missed was cut from 6 weeks to 4 weeks, the time allowed to make a roster decision after those games expired was also cut from 5 weeks to 3 weeks. So in previous seasons, the teams had til week 11 to make a decision on a player, not they only have til week 7.
That probably was due to the IR rule changes in length and amount of players allowed to come back from IR.

Von must not have 60 snaps yet? His win rate is 46% which is #1

Maybe they don’t count running plays for the 60 snaps?

49ers, Chargers, Broncos, Saints????
Deebo Samuel had over 1400 yards last year and Ayuik had over 800 with significantly worse QB play than the bills.
chargers had 2 guys with 1100+ yards last year.
Broncos are a bit of a stretch as last years stats don’t really back it up, but they had Teddy Bridgewater and Drew Lock at QB so it’s a little hard to evaluate.
like I mentioned with the Saints, it does rely on Michael Thomas being healthy, but they added Jarvis Landry and that is a very solid 1-2 punch if Thomas is healthy.-

Want to take a crack at naming 11 teams with better WR’s?
Teams WR groups Id definitely put ahead of the bills: Bengals, Bucs, Dolphins, Rams
Teams WR groups that are likely better than the Bills but an argument could be made: Eagles, raiders, 49ers, chargers, Vikings, Cardinals
Teams WR groups that are in the same tier and could go either way: Seahawks, Broncos, Saints (somewhat relying on Thomas to return to form)
Earlier I said they were probably in the 9-15 range, but I think I'll adjust it to 8-13 range.

12 for WR is right on the money IMO.
10 minutes ago, TheWeatherMan said:Name the 11 other WR groupings. Tampa, Phins, Bengals, Rams, Raiders, Maybe Eagles, Cardinals. That’s it. We’re top 10 for sure.
26 minutes ago, Warriorspikes51 said:Diggs and Davis are both likely to hit the 1,000 mark
I think I agree with @ScottLaw on this one. I think Allen makes it so our WRs will have the production of a top 10 group, and Im pretty confident about that. However, I dont think that is due to our recievers group being the best in the league, I think they are likely somewhere in the 9-15 range. Look at Diggs stats going from Minnesota to Buffalo. His career year was 1,130 yards and had gotten to 1000 yards 2 of his 5 seasons. He comes to the bills and starts playing with Josh Allen and those stats take a big jump. I think with any top 20 WR, Allen would be throwing for 1200+ yards to them. Diggs and Davis may both hit the 1,000 mark, but if you had an average QB throwing to them instead (think Mac Jones) maybe Diggs hits 1,000, but doubt Gabe would.

That's a weird hill to die on. Not top 5 is laughable. But if you think saying so is key to your argument, then, yeah--I guess you have to go with that.
Not really a hill I need to die on. But I was curious, so I looked up a bunch of lists grading QBs for their 2021 performance specifically, and Matt Stafford got 5,5, 6, 7, 7, 8, and 12 from the lists I looked at. That would put his average ranking at 7, though I didn’t pay much attention to the other QBs which could have had a worse average.
The most important point (the hill to die on) though is that McVay is THE youngest head coach in the NFL. Despite being the youngest, he has a super bowl victory and another appearance. If you dont think there’s a chance (even if it’s <1%) he becomes one of the best coaches of all time, that’s kind of silly.

“some of that could be attributed to the Rams being better””some of that can be attributed to the Lions being worse”.
jeez, at least you acknowledged that.
Before McVay, Goff had Fisher and Fassel jr., an awful combo. Mcavsy is a very good OC. Yet under his guidance, Goffs performance deteriorated to the point they got rid of him. In steps a “top 5” QB (and Von Miller) and McVay gets a SB win (luckily drawing the Bengals).
When the Rams run out of “win now” money and with a paucity of picks and Stafford hangs it up, McVay won’t have a 1st round rookie QB to groom (or get rid of again).
I don’t think Goff was ever that good. I think McVay disguised a flawed QB pretty well. I still don’t really think Stafford was a top 5 QB last year, though he did have yards and TDS to support that.

In 2018 Goff was 4th in yards and 5th in TDs. In 2019, he was 3rd in yards and 6th in TDs.
Last season, the Rams signed a guy named Matt Stafford as their QB. True, he was "not top 5...not even top 10"---he was top 3 (yards). Top 2 in TDs, #6 in QB rating.
McVay is a genius in Goff's rookie year, then, the next 2 years.....less of a genius as Goff somewhat declined. Then, his GM scores another big get for him with Stafford and presto!---McVay is a genius again!
He was a year younger than Tomlin was when he won his first SB. Tomlin Also brought his team to 2 SB in his first 4 years (it took McVay 5). Who is saying that Tomlin may become one of the *best* coaches ever?
Stanford also led the league in interceptions last year. Something ignored in the above is how well Stafford played before/Goff played after the trade, as well how Goff improved under McVay. Goff’s YPA went from 5.3 before mcvay to a high 8.0 with him. It went up to 8.4, before settling to 7.2. For the lions, Goff had 6.6, his lowest since his rookie season. Sure, some of that can be attributed to the lions being worse, but some could be attributed to McVay’s offense. Under Mcvay, Stafford equaled his career high completion percentage of 67.2% (which he hasn’t hit since 2015), and touchdowns at 41 (which he hadn’t hit since 2011). Again, some of that is because the rams are better, but also some is likely due to the coaching.
As for the Tomlin comment, you’re ignoring what’s happened since his early career success. No one is saying anything about Tomlin having a shot at best coach ever because he hasn’t followed up with dominance. This is kinda like me saying Josh Allen has the potential to be one of the best QBs of all time, and being countered with “But russel Wilson had more early career success, and no one is calling him a top 3 of all time QB” Could Allen/McVay become some of the best we’ve ever seen? Sure. Could they also not? Absolutely.

I think if you’re picking 3 WR, I think I would go Diggs, Chase, and Adams.
Diggs for my chain mover, Chase for the big play threat, and Adams for catching TDS.
They each can do all 3, but each is probably a bit better than the others in those facets.
Hill and Chase fill the same role, so I would probably be picking between them.
