Not arguing with you, but just saying that Cook has bad hands is not it. He’s pretty good at catching the ball. I’ll agree he has had some bad drops in inopportune moments, but he’s not what you’re trying to portray him as. You’re wrong.

Not sure how reliable Stat Muse is, but here are career Pass Catch %’s: Saquan Barkley 73% James Cook: 78% Christian McCafferey: 80%

The average number of sacks for an NFL team during the regular season is generally between 40 and 50. A good sack rate is typically around or below 5%, while the league average is between 5% and 7%, according to a YouTube video from The Friendly Statistician.

Agreed. Just like Allen in his first year.

Thanks for sharing!!!!! Simply and awesome story and an even more amazing experience!

Sorry, my bad, I was being sarcastic. Agree with everything you state above. It would be crazy to think we aren’t a better team this year than last.

Assuming our 2024 draft class is a complete wash and they don’t take a step forward as well as Kincaid not progressing from his 2024 injury, and absolutely none of our rookies contributing….I think the Philly fan is correct.

Yes - Keep on the “tax the rich” and lets just become as socialist or communist country. Not the answer.

This is great perspective. He has a lower snap count than other “#1” backs simply because we have better pass catching RB’s on the roster as well as better pass blocking RB’s on the roster, and maybe even better goal line backs.

So, 2nd Rd pick, 2nd year with team - 800yds 6 TD’s??? Is that good? Whats your metric on Coleman since a lot of you have written him off?

I agree, but having said this - with their production last year, we’d be in the SB if we had a defense.

Shakir is easily #1. He put up BIG numbers the first year he stepped on the field for the Bills.

I think this is THE most concise summary of why we haven’t won a SB with Allen. Thanks

I agree with all of this. So I’d assume you were good with the D draft? The fact we have a top 5 RB doesn’t hurt. He’s no Barkley, but good enough?

So who’s covering him - Benford or Hairston?

Also - Jalen Hurts had less than 3,000 passing yards in 2024. How do we make sense of that?

I consider you a super knowledgeable poster. Maybe we’ve had a poll before on this, but i would value your opinion. In ranking what’s holding us back from a SB, is it: Coaching Defense Offense in playoff games OR has it been more specific: special teams Wide Receivers Defensive Line Secondary (Some people pointed to the running game in the past - pre-cook?) My take is that our scouting dept is good, but not great. We get some really good players, but if we had a few rookies drafted (including players now on their 2nd or 3rd year), that stepped up to be absolute studs, we could win it all. Such a jigsaw puzzle.

I agree that Brady has to use him as a vertical threat. Moore can definitely do it as he has done before and was arguably quite good at it. It’s on Brady’s shoulders to utilize both him and Palmer as vertical threats as and when needed. Jury is out on that as MVS obviously had the skills but didn’t fit into Bradys offense (and I really don’t have any complaints about Bradys offense). https://jetsxfactor.com/2021/11/23/elijah-moore-outside-wr-slot/

Moore is a vertical threat. He just hasn’t frequently been used that way on the teams he has been on. It’s not that he can’t do it, https://www.espn.com/blog/new-york-jets/post/_/id/90365/is-jets-elijah-moore-the-nfls-most-ignored-wide-receiver

Indeed. Josh and Hailey ice skating canalside, a snowball fight in Delaware park then some sledding and hot coca at Chestnut Ridge.

These are all good points. Let me just point out in regards to the persistent Coleman bashing: First year stats - Shakir had 10 catches for 161 and 1 TD…..He’s freaking terrible. Why did we even resign him?!?!?

Mods - this is a weird one. My apologies if this not is the right forum.

Or terrible QB’ng?

This is an excellent take. Kincaid was banged up too. Many people hammer him and just believe he’s plain not good. https://www.si.com/nfl/bills/news/source-provides-insight-into-dalton-kincaid-2024

I’m surprised how many people write off rookies after one year. I mean - Josh Allen wasn’t exactly lighting it up year one. Hell - go take a look at Eric Moulds first two years, he would have been absolutely trashed by TBD. I still have hope Keon can take a step forward this year, as well as Kincaid.
