BarleyNY Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 IMO the top priorities would be to retain Glenn and Incognito and acquire a high quality X WR opposite Watkins. I extend Gillmore, then I replace Williams as best as I can (assuming he's gone in this scenario) and acquire a shifty slot WR. A developmental rookie QB and a vet QB are added. After that I'm looking upgrade wherever else I can.
Deranged Rhino Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Yes, but Fitz and his team still did finish 2 games ahead of us ... Which is meaningless.
Deranged Rhino Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 If you say so Head to head the Bills beat the Jets twice. The Bills finished with a better divisional record. Like the Bills, the Jets are not in the playoffs. The best way to determine which team is better is not overall record, it's head to head and divisional records (at least for divisional opponents). Like I said, it's meaningless.
Cheeseburger_in_paradise Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 I agree. And along with that, I would also suggest bringing in Advocare nutritional supplements. The NFL players that are Advocare guys don't seem to get hurt very often. It's world class nutrition that makes a difference. Guys like Jason Witten, Drew Brees. Even former Bill, Scott Chandler. Most athletes take some kind of supplements. These are just really good.
Chandler#81 Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 The easiest and fastest way to get to the playoffs is by Turnovers. Back in the day, when he had a pass rush, we stole many INT's and recovered fumbles. Give us 1 T/O more per game this year and consider what the record would be.

Deranged Rhino Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 If you say so. If I look at the standings, Jets are ahead of us. And what does that get them? Two losses against the bills, a worse divisional record, a worse draft pick (for a team with more holes to fill) and they still aren't in the playoffs. It's not me saying this, it's reality. If you want to say the jets are better than the bills I say there's no evidence on the field to support that conclusion. The only thing that supports it is their 10 wins -- which are pretty meaningless when they're outside looking in on the playoffs. I'm not worried about catching the jets. The bills are better than the jets and Dolphins. I worry about catching the cheats.
Direhard Fan Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Reddog has got it. Those are a lot of coaching mistakes . Shame on Rex. Hire a guy to take care of the phone batteries. Need a special teams coach. We are good to go. Draft a good LB, D end and some meat on "O". Keep building. Go Bill's
Luxy312 Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 The easiest and fastest way to get to the playoffs is by Turnovers. Back in the day, when he had a pass rush, we stole many INT's and recovered fumbles. Give us 1 T/O more per game this year and consider what the record would be. This in a nutshell. Statistically speaking, turnovers are the #1 most important factor to wins and losses. I've thrown this out there before, but will give it again for the masses. Historically, if a team is +1 in turnovers, they win about 90% of the time. Got to +2 and it's near 95%. +3 or more and it's almost 99%. So a quick look at the Bills wins this season. They were +3, +3, E, +1, +4, +1, E, +2. That's a total of +13 in the turnover battle for their wins. Their losses are a completely different story. They were -1, -1, -1, -3, E, -2, -1, +1. That's -8 in the turnover battle for their losses. This is obviously just looking at one team and one season. However, if you go back and look at the NFL for the last 50 years, my percentages play out.

KD in CA Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) Easiest way to make the playoffs is to stop giving away games to the competition and when it's tight at the end, don't blow it. Giants Jacksonville Patsies** game 2 Washington Eagles Cheaps Win half of those and we got a game Saturday. Win the first two and we got a game Saturday. Everyone acts like it all fell apart this year but it's not the case -- they were very close. I'm sure most teams feel this way, but it seems we get far more than our fair share of injuries every year. I guess that's just what disappointment and frustration feel like. According to this guy we're in the middle of the pack (13th) over the past several years. 10th in 2015 and 29th in 2014 (which was the biggest difference this year vs last) http://www.mangameslost.com/the-most-injured-nfl-teams-since-the-2009-season/# Edit: I just saw the second table at the very bottom which has the Bills 8th in impact over the past 7 seasons, but that average is boosted a lot by being #1 back in 2009.

Deranged Rhino Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Jacksonville is a better team than us? 2 head to head games versus one, 6 games against the same opponents. The Bills beat the Jets in both those measures and neither team made the playoffs. Again if you want to go simply by overall record you can, it's just meaningless if you completely overlook what transpired when the teams actually played each other and the same opponents. If jax were in the AFC east and beat the bills 2 games to none and finished with a better divisional record I'd say they were. One game, in London doesn't determine who is better overall, just who was bettor that day. Also, the last time the jets beat the bills head to head it was 2013. They've won the last 6 out of 7 meetings including two consecutive years of sweeping them. Yeah, but overall record is much more important
reddogblitz Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) Yeah, but overall record is much more important I agree, it's not a big deal. However I just think a team with a better record is the better team. You are what your record says you are. No need to over process on the deal IMHO. You see it differently however. Cool. Like my father used to say, that's why they make chocolate and vanilla. Edited January 6, 2016 by reddogblitz
Coach Tuesday Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 If you say so. If I look at the standings, Jets are ahead of us. You've missed the point. If we would've swept the Patriots, we'd be ahead of the Jets in the standings.
LA Grant Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Is the training staff different than it was in 2013 and 2014 when the Bills had fewer injuries? I don't believe so. Although this was the first year I remembered seeing the little person trainer but maybe I just wasn't paying attention before.

Didn't they beat the Giants and Jags? And Redskins? In fact, their only loss to common opponent was Houston. Edited January 6, 2016 by FireChan
Lofton80 Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Better defense on third and long. Jacksonville and Washington both converted seemingly impossible Down and distance at key moments. I am sure there are others.
