Success Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 NE is steps ahead of every other NFL franchise. Because they have a great coach and qb. Not because they got a backup rb.
C.Biscuit97 Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 That's crazy talk man. Knock it off. You are better than that. I hate hate hate seeing the Bills lose. But we are just spinning our wheels with 6-10, 7-9 seasons. The Pata have drafted a ton of busts but they have Brady, who they lucked into. And it's a lot easier to Luck into a player highin the draft.
row_33 Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 Disagree - look at the advanced passing stats (100 is average: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BledDr00.htm). Also, in 7 playoff games his lifetime QB rating was 54.9. advanced stats to look back 20 seasons? game changed much since then?
C.Biscuit97 Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 Because they have a great coach and qb. Not because they got a backup rb. Strongly disagree. MG will be the key to their season.
JM2009 Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 Because they have a great coach and qb. Not because they got a backup rb. and we lost a very good player to a hated division rival.
HappyDays Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 I wonder how Vegas will react, I imagine our wins over/under just fell a few spots, as it always does when the backup RB is out.
par73 Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 It is amazing how a lousy team like the Bills is always in cap "jail," while the Patriots are far under and able to throw so much money around. I wonder who is to blame for the Bills' plight?
JM2009 Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 I wonder how Vegas will react, I imagine our wins over/under just fell a few spots, as it always does when the backup RB is out. I figure they will have us at 6 wins, no matter what.
dave mcbride Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 Young Bledsoe would have been the second best Bills Qb ever. He definitely had his flaws but he is better than anything we have had besides Kelly. He also came off the bench to win a game for the Pats during their first SB run. He started out hot in that game with two nice passes but was abysmal after that. After starting 3-3, he was 7-18 the rest of the way and 10-21 overall. The Pats' D and ST won that game. They had a punt return TD and a blocked FG return TD. That accounted for 14 of their 24 points. I remember Simon ripping Bledsoe after that game, saying that he played terribly after the start.
C.Biscuit97 Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 I wonder how Vegas will react, I imagine our wins over/under just fell a few spots, as it always does when the backup RB is out. MG is easily worth 2-3 wins.
BADOLBILZ Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 I didn't like losing Hogan and knew he would be a good player in NE and better than he was here. I hated losing Gilmore to them because I know he is really, really good. But MG is just another guy who played on one of the best running offenses in the NFL. I really don't get the fuss. Karlos Williams was just as good and he was probs let high most of the time. Well, somebody is going to have to step up and though he looked good on tape at Arkansas, Jon Williams didn't look good last year. There is a prevailing belief among Bills fans that MG benefited more from Shady than the other way around............but it's the opposite......MG did a lot of critical work in short yardage and goal line that Shady CAN'T do. If Shady starts getting those carries......he starts looking A LOT worse.
dave mcbride Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 advanced stats to look back 20 seasons? game changed much since then? ???? 100 is average, and the average is based on qb play that year alone. It's an apples-to-apples comparison. Most of Bledsoe's seasons were under 100.
C.Biscuit97 Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 He started out hot in that game with two nice passes but was abysmal after that.

That accounted for 14 of their 24 points. I remember Simon ripping Bledsoe after that game, saying that he played terribly after the start. But would you agree that he would be the 2nd best qb in Bills history? I don't think it's even close. A young Bledsoe gets us to the playoffs the last couple of years.
Success Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 and we lost a very good player to a hated division rival. He's a backup. I don't want to pull out all the stops on every player because the pats might grab him. This thread is embarrassing.
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 I thought McDermott was running the show. We can all relax now, this move is starting to look genius, almost Belichick like. ....I'd bet he sure as hell has a significant say......I wouldn't take the job if someone was going to force feed me players with no input and hold me responsible for "between the white lines"......BTW, don't see where the Mike G tariff is that unreasonable.......
JM2009 Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 MG is easily worth 2-3 wins. We lost a good player that is not easily replaceable as you seem to think. Esp for a roster that lacks good depth. He's a backup. I don't want to pull out all the stops on every player because the pats might grab him. This thread is embarrassing. lol all stops. better cap management and this doesn't happen. by the way, NE just signed Butler.
par73 Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 He's a backup. I don't want to pull out all the stops on every player because the pats might grab him. This thread is embarrassing. McCoy is 29, and has had hamstring issues the past two years. What are the odds he plays 16 games? A quality backup is needed, nonetheless.
Royale with Cheese Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 You are defending Whaley. And your usual shot at TT which is ridiculous. He's the least of this team's problems right now. Saying TT isn't Brady is a shot? You're so incredibly sensitive about TT it's ridiculous. I wasn't defending Whaley...just giving an example. You're stubbornness is just unreal sometimes...it really is.
C.Biscuit97 Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 ???? 100 is average, and the average is based on qb play that year alone. It's an apples-to-apples comparison. Most of Bledsoe's seasons were under 100. Also, and not to totally get into here, but these advance stats need to be taken with a grain of salt? I saw one game where Tim Tebow had a better rating than Aaron Rodgers who threw 4 td passes. Advanced stats will favor a guy like Alex Smith over Brett Farve. Plus, you have no idea what the play call is or if someone ran the wrong route. Football is the hardest sport to use advanced stats on.
