  1. I started watching and following football in 1981. Joe Cribbs is the reason I'm a Bills fan.
  2. I see they're really focusing on the age of certain players and I gotta say, WGAF! My older QB still throws for 4500 and rushes for over 700. My older WR still get over 100 rec at 1300 a clip. Sure the Knox and Oliver contracts may prove to be a burden in future years but as long as JA17 is healthy the window is always open.
  3. The O line's ability to open lanes is what determines the effectiveness of a RB or any other runner for that matter. Sure a better than average back will make a mediocre line look better but ultimately it's up to the O line to clear the way and neutralize defenders. A QBs running proficiency has nothing to do with run schemes designed for your backfield unless the play of course is a designed run for the QB.
  4. Which is why a rookie OC like Dorsey is ranked ahead of him.
  5. Let's be fair. Although I think Williams is the better player he didn't really break out until he got complimentary players around him on defense. Just like Ed, who played pretty well, though not at an elite level when Daquan and Von on the field. Oliver may very well end up being a bargain.
  6. I know right. God forbid he doesn't speak the Queen's English.😂 I've heard enough interviews from pro athletes over the years. Dion comes off as Anthony Robbins and Jordan Peterson compared to most.
  7. This explanation is about as accurate and simplistic as it gets....
  8. Front office can hope for a less reckless JA17 and they may very well get it,... in the future. Everyone says he runs too much but truth is unless it's a designed run he buys as much time as possible before he takes off. Nothing prettier than watching him hit a WR while rolling out right. The O line will be improved but when it breaks down his instincts will kick in and all he'll see is that first down marker. For now it's who he is. Accept it and enjoy the show and pray there are no cheap shots when he embarrasses defenses.
  9. Max wasn't so much an Allen hater, more of a Burrow lover. Keyshawn on the other hand......
  10. No. Allen has 76 starts in 5 years Vick has 115 starts in 13 years Cam has 144 starts in 11 years Tryhard has 53 starts in 12 years. Not exactly apples to apples comparison. The body of work just isn't there.
  11. Parker was to be released if the Pats signed Hopkins. Does this take them out of the running? I really think he wants Buffalo but can't see it happening unless a lot of concessions on both sides are made.
  12. Sauce is the real deal. When you play at a aggressive level consistently you will get the benefit of the doubt on questionable plays. Revis, Gilmore and Ramsey come to mind. Players need to match the intensity, not cry about it. BTW: Tre White does his fair share of Holding as well. Surprisingly there are no complaints about him.
  13. Crazy arm talent. Kid could sling it! Far too young. RIP
  14. The Bills still put up 500 yards on that 105 degree day with half their starting defense out. The second game you can make the argument. They ran it down the Bills throat and protected Tua by putting him in favorable situations. It was a good game plan, but they still lose. The playoff game gets the popular view of " if Tua played" they would've won. Bills had many misfortunes that game. Going for it on 4th and 3 on the 30 instead of taking the 3. The Int off Cole Beasley's hands. The fumble recovery for the TD. The Josh overthrow that Howard picked off. The bomb Shakir dropped. Like the first game the Bills dominated the stat sheet but it looked a lot closer on the scoreboard. OUTCOACHED? Hardly....
  15. Though he feels he's a very good HC he's not high on McDermott because he's a defensive coach. All the playoff contenders last year had Offensive minded HCs other than,....you guessed it, Buffalo. He even goes on to say McDaniels out coached him all 3 games last year although the Bills won 2 of 3 and put up 500 yards in their only loss. Go figure🤔
  16. Patrick Peterson brought it up after the Vikings game. He made the same assessment on Davis after watching film prior to the game. It's how he knew to play off Davis once he realized he wasn't the intended target. He ended up with 2 picks that game.
  17. I can appreciate the buzz the Dolphins are generating for the upcoming season. It's the level of confidence many of the pundits are projecting that bugs me. Many are dismissing the fact (as chongli mentioned) the Bills have gotten better. Cowturd has mentioned many times how McDaniels out coached McDermott 3X last season yet the Bills won 2 of the 3 and still generated 500 yards of offense in their only loss. Tua is a Milano and Miller crunch sandwich away from missing half the season. A secondary with a fully healthy White, Hyde, Poyer and 2nd year Elam should prove formidable. A new interior OL will open up the run game a bit more and give Josh more time to make better decisions that aren't rushed and turnover worthy. The beefy D front of Ford, Oliver and Jones should clog up opposing runners which was a problem against the more physical O Lines they faced last season. Honestly if Rodgers pans out in NY they may be more of a threat IMHO...
  18. I kinda like the thought of playing the Fins in Miami if they win the division. With his track record I'll take JA17 in Miami on a 40-50 degree January day everytime.
  19. TE. Uphill climb if he was healthy. Best of luck, at least that's a pretty cool name...
