But it is a fair knock on an otherwise excellent resume. Presumably you would agree that there's zero excuse, given the field, of not at minimum making the AFC CG, right? 1 Quote

No because that isn't the way the NFL works. There is a lot of parity and it is a matchup league. You can't just look down a sheet of paper and give players a rating. It isn't Madden. That said, if the Bills win tonight there is definitely a route that opens up for them to make it, hosting 2 games. Quote

Who knows, we may win it all and then we're all whistling past the graveyard in a manner of speaking. You sound like one of those “ we won the Super Bowl, but…” types. Win or lose, you’re going to whine. Probably spit on the grave too. Have fun watching tonight’s game, I guess. 1 Quote

So you don't think then, by implication, that we're better than the Steelers, Texans, Browns, Fins, and Chiefs ... this season? Well, OK. Otherwise, using that as an excuse every season, well, that's a huge part of the problem that we're having in these discussions between the two sides. 4 minutes ago, Dopey said: You sound like one of those “ we won the Super Bowl, but…” types.

FireChans Posted January 8 Posted January 8 18 minutes ago, PBF81 said: OK, so Allen better than Lamar. Cook better and more versatile than Edwards who has very limited utility as a receiver and is more power back than speedster with agility like Cook. As to the WRs, let's stick to the group as a whole. Which is better, ... Flowers, OBJ, Andrews, Likely, and Agholor ... or .... Diggs, Davis, Kincaid, Knox, and Shakir? Don't leave Diggs and Kincaid out of the discussion and try to pass it off as if Baltimore has better WRs. Which team has the better top five WRs/TEs? You say that Likely is a vet, he's in his second season as a late 4th round draft pick. Hardly a seasoned vet. Agholor in 9 seasons has averaged about 500 yards and 4 TDs. Hardly much more than a JAG. Flowers is a rookie. Is there a reason why their WRs/TEs are more consistent and why their offense averages 1.5 PPG more than we do when their leading RB and leading WR don't even approach the production of ours? Thank you for a decent answer. We'll never know, but I'm curious what John Harbaugh would do with Allen as his QB over Jackson. It's time! GO BILLS!!!! Shakir doesn’t average 500 yards so maybe he’s less than a JAG. Maybe part of the reason their offense is more consistent is because their QB doesn’t throw passes to Eli Apple’s chest. Quote

If you want to use that comp at least be honest and cite Agholor's first two seasons where he averaged just over 300 yards. That's part of the problem here, you and others can't be honest with your arguments. It makes it impossible to have an honest discussion. No sense in trying further.

So why would I include what he was 8 years ago, in a discussion about him today? Project harder about honest arguments lmao 1 Quote

Beast Posted January 8 Posted January 8 McDermott certainly isn’t the issue tonight and I’ve been one to be critical of him. Look no further than #17 for tonights issues. 2 Quote
Lionel Hutz Posted January 8 Posted January 8 That guy that wrote the article about McDermott was right about him always looking to shift blame. He did it with Allen during his halftime interview. 1 Quote
boyst Posted January 8 Posted January 8 How this team closes out this game indicts McDermott. I will refuse to see what I want to see and believe the facts. This isn't much different than the Bengals game last year. Chips are down, we can't sustain momentum, we have made mistakes, we have let opportunities slip away, our fundamentals are struggling. We need a good HC and staff to pull this win. Quote

Nostradumbass Posted January 8 Posted January 8 All we knew was failure before he arrived and all we've know since is success I don't get the McD questioning Quote
Virgil Posted January 8 Posted January 8 This game isn’t on the coaches. The only thing McD isn’t doing is getting in Josh’s face between plays. Dude needs to be held accountable 1 Quote
