I feel you would look my pic with your door locked and lights off.  

 

Between the dollar menu and breakfast....I only eat fast food about 7-8 times a week now.  That's not much.  

 

Why he gona be looking at pic with the lights off? Unless he can turn into an owl or is secretly a bat he might not see much with lights off in the dark

If we can avoid the injury bug this time around I think we've got a real good shot.  Losing Von Miller and having Josh playing injured hurt bad and the other injuries, Hamlin and such buried us.

Its always a fair point.

 So you have to address depth.

 The quality of depth has risen on the Bills. No big splash players doesn't mean no improvement.

Better deeper depth raises the whole boat. Bills have done that IMO

 Go Bills

You were probably flashing back to what to do with a Playboy magazine after lights out was called. That can scar you. 

 

 

I’m guessing…..

On paper the LOS seems better on both sides of the ball. Hopefully Kinkaid has a good rookie season. But the division is harder, and the AFC overall is a tough conference.  Then there are injuries which can hit any team. The Bills should be in the mix for a championship but who knows how it will play out.

The division is harder but we sleepwalked through a few division games last year so I’d expect our division record to be at worst the same

Yeah I surely hope McGovern turns out to be good too.    You don't pay an interior OL who has never even been a full time starter the kind of money they did unless you think he's going to be A LOT better than he's ever been before.   But his pff grade last year was brutal.   To register a 52 score you have put a lot of bad on tape.   Clearly the splits were vastly different because his pass blocking was good and his run blocking was not.   And as I've said.......there is no such thing as a 3rd down guard........you can't be terrible at one aspect and be a good guard.   Saffold was even worse (42) but he was simply terrible snap-in-snap-out all season.    

 

From the analysis I've watched on McGovern, he struggles run blocking in power schemes. Whereas he's a much better puller and zone scheme fit than when he's asked to block down on DT's 1v1. 

 

So I think there's a reasonable expectation that his run blocking improves in Kromer's scheme. This may be more fan based wishful thinking on my part. But if his run blocking improves and he continues to pass block well, then it may end up being a good signing.

 

Even so, his pass protection is such an improvement over Saffold... We shall see how it shakes out.

Kromer isn't scheme specific. 

 

He has had high level success with both power/ pin-and-pull and inside zone schemes(where his 2015-2016 Bills lead the NFL in rushing both years) AND the en vogue west coast style outside zone(reached SB with McVay Rams).

 

McDermott would clearly like to be an outside zone blocking team but that plan has failed every year.    Dennison, Daboll, Dorsey.........they haven't been able to be good at outside zone.

 

They usually end up going away from that as the season progresses.   Part of the reason for that failure, IMO,  is mismatched personnel.   Guys who don't execute zone blocking well mixed with those who do.    They just drafted Torrence in round 2 and he's not a zone guy.    So the trend continues.
