Let’s say that the 6 is an outlier and that he only deserved 2 (a stupid argument but you get my point). That’s still 13, which is more than any Bill has had since 2014. Mack isn’t going to be traded so I don’t care about that, but you gotta stop with this take on Mack. It’s just factually wrong, and obviously so. No you gotta take your chances and every high sack number guy always has a game or two where they feast on bad teams. It is what it is. I think Promo is slightly over the top on Mack but I don't think he is miles off. He has been a very good NFL edge rusher. He's had a productive career. I do think there have been times when he has impacted teams. Certainly that first year and a half in Chicago he did. But I also think there is some truth to him as a stat padder too. I always remember the stat that over half his sacks for the Raiders came after week 10 on teams basically already eliminated from playoff contention. His performance in the first half of those same seasons was decidedly worse. Now I get it the Raiders sucking wasn't all on Mack but he had a tendency to rack up stats once the season wae dead. I think he has been overrated personally. Like he wouldn't get my vote for a team of the decade or anything close. Four all pros is a stretch IMO. That isn't to say he has been a bad player. He has clearly been a good player. Just not as good as the general narrative on him suggests. 1 1 Quote

I appreciate you starting the post and for being you. I hadn't seen this thread until this afternoon and it was rather inspiring. I have three kids in grade school, I get mocked worse than that every day before breakfast 🤣 I also want the Bills to win a SB so bad and enjoy thinking outside the bun. Glad you liked the thread! 1 Quote

Glad you liked the thread! Yeah I know what you mean. I have 18 and 19 year old boys. They are great, but of course they know everything, haha. I get the sentiment. If there's a player out there to put us over the mountain, I'm good with it too. I would love to be the Chiefs and have a chance every year but I don't think we have the coaching. We're really good and so is McD but I want a Super bowl. If that means sacrificing being consistently very good ever year, so be it. 1 Quote

That carries a lot of weight. He knows more than I do. I'm just saying I've yet to see him significantly elevate any team he played for. Maybe he was never in the right situation. 2 Quote

LABILLBACKER Posted November 26 Posted November 26 That ship has sailed for the 33 year old. He's had a weak season with 4.5 sacks. We gotta keep drafting... Quote
