QB’s records when their defense allows 35 points or higher in the playoffs. Mahomes: 2-1 Allen: 0-2 I’m sorry my dude. It’s Joever. This “Mahomes is carried by his D” claptrap is revisionist history. The guy played literally perfect against the Eagles in the Super Bowl throwing to JuJu and carried his offense AND defense. Some QB’s are built different.

They did last year. They didn’t their 2 other SuperBowls. In 2022, they allowed a playoff PPG of 25. They won anyway. Allowed 35 points and 417 yards of offense in the Super Bowl. They won anyway. Those numbers are nearly identical to McD’s averages vs the Chiefs in the postseason. Some QB’s are built different and can win in spite of their defense.

KC scored 21.6 PPG last year. They scored 23.75 in the playoffs. Offenses are expected to struggle lmao. Maybe for certain QBs.

And yet, if we had lost, there’s no doubt @GoBills808 and @HappyDays would point to that game as yet another example McDermott sucks. And we would hear about it forever.

Hey man, we can’t count the games where the offense did basically nothing and the defense outscored the opponent single-handedly who was led by the reigning MVP. Otherwise our narrative of, “Josh Allen is perfect and everyone else holds him back” doesn’t hold up as well.

ew no. Paying Barkley that money would be franchise malpractice. Schoen paying that money would’ve been outrageous. Ditto with Tyrod. how do Bills fans not realize that your backup quality QB and your great RB DO NOT MATTER. We literally lived that for 20 years.

I consider missed FG’s a part of the game. Garbage time points are not, because the game is over. The offense had a really good run in 2021. Like historically good. Outside of that run, they have a significant amount of warts. They collapsed in 2019 v Houston and 2020 v the Chiefs. In 2022, they sleptwalked the entire postseason, and allowed Skylar Thompson to keep it close by turning it over 100 times then got blasted by Cinci. Our guy is making a living on two great playoff games, one vs a rookie who is no longer a starting QB in the NFL.

Mara irrationally wanting Saquon and being worried he will go to a division rival is SO BILLSY. Shades of Bills fans losing their minds because they lost Mike Gillislee to the Pats. This season thing of Hard Knocks is incredible.

At home for regular season. In stadium for playoffs.

Holy smokes lol. The Bills-Chiefs final score was a garbage time fiesta. It was 38-15 with 7 minutes left and we got some garbage time points up. What an offensive masterclass.

Garrett Wilson may actually be elite.

Bills top 5 in 4DC percentage too.

Meh, a slight decrease from 158 to 157 doesn’t change much. Still an elite number.

On the business side? No. on the operations side, you have a point. Look at the NBA for example. Their organizations are FILLED with MIT type guys. Daryl Morey, Sam Hinkie (RIP). Guys that are pioneers in pushing the envelopment from an analytical standpoint. The gold standard for analytics in the NFL for the last 20 years is a guy who went to Wesleyan College and got paid 25 bucks a week to be a coaching assistant.

I follow you around? You engaged me lmao. persecution complex again. It’s gotten old.

What narrative? I made the comment that he played lots of snaps last year. You chimed in that they decreased in the second half, they did, but my point was that he played lots of snaps. Not that they did or did not decrease in the second half of the year. My narrative, the entire time, was that he played lots of snaps. Which is what I said. This persecution complex is absurd lol. I’m not out to get you or make you look stupid with every post, that’s just a bonus most of the time.

His snaps decreased in the second half of the year. He still played lots of snaps. So it doesn’t really matter that they mildly decreased in the second half lol.

What horses should we get

We have had a top 10 defense the last 3 seasons. It clearly has NOT cut it lol. Ah yes, all those elite defensive players we acquired this off-season.

all we need is the best defense in football putting together a dominant postseason run. Got it. Good plan.

He had a higher percentage of snaps in 2023 than he did in 2022. the only game he had less than 60% of offensive snaps was the barrage against Dallas.

How are Shakir and Samuel getting 90 targets each? Is Shakir starting on the boundary? Is Dawson Knox not playing? The analogy doesn’t work because when we rotate DT’s or CB’s it’s between 2-3 guys. Not 4-5.

Because someone else is getting taken off the field. Shakir had 5 targets through week 6 last year. Week 7 was Knox’s last game before going on IR. Shakir had 2+ targets every game until Knox came back week 14. The math doesn’t work. The Bills are not gonna successfully rotate in players and target them exclusively when they are on the field. You are basically saying sub in Coleman on this drive and throw him the ball 4 times then take him off and put in MVS and target him 3 times. That won’t happen unless someone gets hurt. Diggs got a ton of targets and force fed at points. But he also got a ton of targets by virtue of almost always being on the field in passing situations. You can’t do that for WR4-6.

You may know more about Josh Allen than a random NFL exec, but do you know more about the NFL QB’s at large? Probably not. I don’t care about the rankings really because they are meaningless. But if you are gonna have any objective opinion on QB rankings across the league, watching every throw of Josh Allen, then watching highlights or redzone of the rest of the NFL is going to completely ruin that. It’s fine to have Bills blinders on to consume your entertainment. But you gotta recognize that. Daboll pulling up PFR rankings on his phone was legendary television for me.

I never really liked him after the whole Rihanna thing.
