You are correct, I was using totals, I forgot we only played 16 games last season. Either way, I'm not seeing a pronounced difference, but my point has always been that our issues are not in the regular season, but in the playoffs. Which is true. My points on the playoff offense stand, firmly. We'll see if it changes this season. But I know of no fan that would prefer being ranked #1 across the board going 14-3, and losing in the divisional round, over being ranked in the top-5 or even 10 everywhere, going 10-7, getting a wild-card and winning the Super Bowl. I will say, if we continue our playoff underperformance this season, I honestly don't know how people cannot point to McD, regardless of how they want it addressed. And back to the original point, Allen was best when Beasley was there for him. We've never effectively replaced Beasley who was among the best in that role. And if we get that slot guy, Davis will be more effective at what he does.

It's very important to separate the narrative on Davis with the truth. "He drops too many passes" has been overplayed. Sure, he drops some balls, but he also makes some spectacular huge play catches. He and Beasley were singlehandely responsible for all but bringing us to the Super Bowl in '21. Last season, he had only two drops in games that we lost. One was that 20-17 Jets loss, but Diggs also had a drop in the same game, and that was Allen's 2nd worst game in the last three seasons. The other was the Vikes game, but I find it difficult to blame Davis when he had 93 yards and a TD, to Diggs' 128 yards and no TD, and when the D stunk the joint up. Just sayin'.

We had fewer Yards, fewer Points Scored, by nearly 2/game. Fewer 1st-Downs by nearly 2/game. Fewer passing yards, one less passing TD. More TOs & FLs. Not sure how that's all better. In the playoffs our production dropped from 41.5 PPG and 26 1st-Downs to 22 PPG and 22 1st-Downs.

That's why we were so much better with Beasley. In that playoff game vs. KC, "13 Seconds," the only two WRs that did anything were Davis and Beasley. Beasley ate up the underneath routes and Davis did the deep work. Agree with you largely on Davis, he's more of an Alvin Harper/Tony Martin/James Lofton/Vincent Jackson type. I'm not sure that works as a #2 although it has in the past, but those teams also had effective underneath guys, which is what we've been missing since they cut Beasley. It's much easier to take two guys away when there's nothing else than it is to take both the top 2 split guys away with an effective underneath guy. That's on both Dorsey and Beane.

OFFENSIVE LINE!!!

And those "biggest games" are in the playoffs, where we can't beat the best teams. Regular season is not a problem for us, there's also there. I'd rather go 10-7, get a wild card, then sweep the playoffs. Game also runs low-percentage routes and is far from being the most versatile WR in the league. He's good at what he does.

Or problem has been that the playoffs however, and Diggs has been more invisible than Davis therein, especially considering his status. Regular season is not our issue.

They're trying to get in his head before the season.

If that's the way it unfolds, them let's hope Beane gets it right finally. That's why I'm not a fan of OJT hires.

Red outline around the Buffalo; Metallic White Buffalo; Blue Horns, not black. Red or blue facemask, not white.

That leapfrogs part of the point of the piece, namely that Beane hasn't drafted well. We can redirect the discussion, but that doesn't change that aspect of it. I don't care about the Jets or Dolphins, they're not the reasons why we haven't won a Super Bowl.

I think that Blue helmets with a white buffalo and red stripe would look cool. Great White Buffalo!

This is common sense. You simply cannot keep whiffing on your Drafts for this very reason. At some point the piper shows up with his invoice. It looks as if 2024 is when he'll be showing up bill in hand. Never fear however, Beane was just extended, so at least he'll be left to clean up his own mess and after his own draft failures.

In a Bills uni tho Williams drops to 43, 105, 5.

I don't know about that, Henry has what, 11 kids with as many women ... 😁

Love the dome!

Well, Kelce posted his 2nd best season yardage wise and best TD wise last year, so I wouldn't expect a major dropoff this season. Also, speed is not the primary reason why he's good.

Some STH should contact the Bills FO and ask them to do this weekly or at least monthly. Wouldn't take but an hour to do an upload the video. Expense is a non-issue.

Yeah, but he just bought a beach house too for $7M. What, something within walking distance of the Big Tree isn't good enough for him. Enough is enough.

Oh boy ... I think I'll just duck and run for cover.

If I'm not mistaken, that's more than they said would be blocked off. It also seems to be around 40% perhaps a little more of the primary parking. Should be interesting.

Looks like a lot more area fenced off than it seemed would be. That's a lot of parking that will be missing.

Roger. It still went over my head. LOL

Wasn't it skee-ball? That's what it is elsewhere. I was just havin' some fun there.

It'll be interesting to be sure. MacGregor's was generally crowded, but not so packed that you couldn't get a table or bar seat. It was already one of my top spots to go when it was MacGregor's, even more so now that it's Bar Bill.
