Greg S Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 On Monday, Saleh reflected on his first season with the Jets and touched on one interesting topic: Who is the best team he faced in his first year in charge? His choice was the Bills. “They all present different challenges, right? Buffalo is probably the most complete team when you look quarterback, run game, pass game, their defense is ridiculous,” Saleh said via The Michael Kay Show. “I’d probably say Buffalo. They’re complete. They’ve got everything, heck of a coaching staff. They’re sound, they’re explosive. Really, really, talented group.” 19 22 2 Quote
BuffaloBill Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 Nice compliment but the games are won on the field. The Bills have not always played up to their talent and have a couple of glaring weaknesses in their run game and stopping the run when they play bigger, physical teams. 5 2 4 1 1 2 Quote

The run game is a glaring weakness even tho they are 6th in the NFL in rushing and average over 5.3 YPC per rush in between the 20s? The only real issue with the run game statistically is they are poor rushing inside the RedZone and especially poor inside the 10, averaging 3.3 and 2.2 YPC there. Quote

The Bills have not always played up to their talent and have a couple of glaring weaknesses in their run game and stopping the run when they play bigger, physical teams. Sorry, but I’ll disagree on your choice of the word “glaring.” The Bills just finished #1 in just about every statistical category on defense, and the run defense was, at worst, middle of the pack. That’s not a “glaring weakness.” Further, Josh Allen IS a part of the run game, and when you look at what Motor has done over the past four weeks I think it’s quite a stretch to say the Bills’ run game is a “glaring weakness.” Look, I get it that some of us still want to let the BBFS creep in, but it really is a different era now. This team is, in my opinion, the most complete football TEAM in the league and nobody wants to play us. Saleh is just saying out loud what most insiders already think. 10 1 1 Quote
papazoid Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 pro: bills are really good con: he only played half the teams in the league..lol Quote
finn Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 Someone send this comment to the real experts on TV who know far more about the quality of NFL teams that head coaches. Why, does Saleh check his Twitter feed before writing a column or getting his makeup done for his studio appearance? Probably not. I think after the Super Bowl, the football world--all of it--will realize that they didn't see the obvious all along: The Bills have always been the best team, by a healthy margin. The losses can be explained by COVID. End of story. Of course, the pundits will say they knew it all along. 1 Quote

Big Turk Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 Probably still has nightmares from the game where the Bills almost singlehandedly destroyed his head coaching dreams when he was 49ers DC and Allen shredded then on prime time in front of the whole nation. 1 3 1 Quote

But you know exactly what I'm saying. And I'm not picking on BuffaloBill but what he stated is a cliche. In a long NFL season, very very rarely does a team stay consistent throughout the whole season. The K-Gun teams didn't, last years team didn't and neither did this years team. Nothing shocking about that. You just hope tbey play their best football at the end of the season. Edited January 12, 2022 by Beast 1 Quote

He didn't say they were perfect, and we know they're not 17-0. Why not just be happy that we have an extremely good team and other people in the NFL acknowledge as much? 3 Quote

Nothing shocking about that. You just hope tbey play their best football at the end of the season. Realistically nobody wins every game as only the 72 Dolphins have done it. I would say if you win 13 or more games then you were consistent. Those Bills teams from the Super Bowl years had a couple of 13-3 seasons so I would say they were consistent in their play. 1 Quote

JESSEFEFFER Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 I watched some of the end-of-season season presser he had along with Joe Douglas. I like his demeanor. He seems like a trust the process kind of leader. In the 3 games he faced the Bills (2020 with SF) he got fully immersed in all the problems the Bills can create for an opponent. His answer makes total sense to me based on those 3 games alone. 1 Quote
