Level of play is usually associated with injuries. Was there any team more affected by injuries than the Bills the past 2 years? I would guess that teams that win the Lombardi have fewer injuries than the rest. I know I am stating the obvious: injuries can make a great team so-so. Yes we should just worry about ourselves and worry that we have fewer injuries. Law of averages should smile on us. Go Bills!
The KC QB and Coach are a problem for JA17 and McD. Since this is Masters week, it’s like Tiger was a problem/roadblock for other great golfers during his prime. Phil, Duval, Westwood, Els, Garcia, etc., would’ve won more majors with no Tiger.
Good points and I have confidence we will get better. The reality is that Cincy, KC and Philly would’ve all embarrassed us. Better to lose to Cincy which validated what we all knew: we need to improve OL, WR, and RB. We’ve got the best QB and I want to see him with a SB ring.
Hey Beane: Impress me with a blockbuster on the level of Cornelius Bennett. Don’t let me down. I’ll give you until next week. If you really wanna impress me, get er done sooner. Remember, it’s gotta be big. Call me if you’re open to suggestions and I’ll poll TBD.
Maybe Diggs has burnt some bridges in locker room. I can see him getting in guys faces about not being all in. As a leader that works sometimes in private conversations, but you can’t show guys up in front of others. If he’s done that more than a couple of times, he’s now toxic. If so, he needs to do some powerful repair work or move on. Leaders must be respectful. If he is traded it will be because he needs another new start. I hope all my conjecture is false.
JK12’s teams > JA17’s teams. What’s amazing about Allen is he has won a lot with a team that would be maybe 7 wins without him. That’s the brutal facts.
Agree. Must go OL in R1 and R2. Even if Robinson is there in R1, hard pass. Our #1 RB should be Cook next year. He’ll add 15 lbs and will be elite. Go Bills!
I like that metaphor “fog of his responsibilities.” I’m in a fog about what he does well (eg - no shacks, no interceptions, few pressures or run stuffs). I guess the NFL coaches must think he’s gold because he’s about to bring home Ft. Knox.
Thanks. I enjoy the depth of your posts and many others that know football better than me. I don’t know much, but I do know that JA17 always gives us a chance to be the only team winning the last game.
Hey Corta: Nice post. Last week I posted a concerned about our division possibilities and you gave me a LAMP response. I respect your evaluation since I didn’t provide the depth of analysis that you’ve posted. However, you have not eased my troubled mind. In addition to your nice description of the current status of our division rivals, I would add that the Jets and Pats have more draft capital. Also, both are picking ahead of us, and targeting OT and WR, which are our areas of need also. We better get better if we are to repeat as division champs. Go Bills!!
