He’s no Peterman. That guy would never throw picks in practice.

I believe the Bills are going to much better than people believe. I think Josh puts it all together in this new offense. New weapons and a matured scheme.

OK, so let's start with LSU then. LSU's defense was below average ranking 82nd of 133 in PA, and 101st in Pass Efficiency Defense. Coleman had 11 passes thrown his way, caught 9. Add in your take after mine. I annotated the bad passes but didn't discuss them for the most part. 1 ... Short left, bad pass 2 ... Looks like he ran a decent route, but a fairly routine one for the NFL. Bad pass 3 ... This is a great play but again, a fairly routine one by NFL standards and against a zone D on a poor pass D team, and as pointed out before. The only player that had a shot at tackling him was Zy Alexander, noted for his poor tackling, and who was also wasn't exactly in position to even tackle coleman in a massive size mismatch in that zone as well. Again, I put this down as a great play, not necessarily as something that Coleman will repeat in the NFL. Great pass by Travis, whom Coleman claimed was the best QB in the Draft BTW (also concerning, LOL) in a zone, but after Alexander whiffs, it's nothing but green, with an unneeded blocker, to the EZ. 4 ... Terrible play, terrible throw. Nothing to see here. Another screen attempt however. 5 ... A 5-yard rolling out. Routine at best. 6 ... A bumbling and failed bubble-screen attempt on 1st-and-10. If they use him like that in the NFL, ... LOL 7 ... A quite catchable drop just across the 1st-down line on 1/15. Unimpressive 8 ... Great contested grab 1-on-1. Impressive play 9 ... 5 yard bubble-screen for a gain of 5. Nothing at all impressive there. 10 ... This is one of his few notable man-on-man plays. No separation here, but a good contested catch downfield on a size mismatch. 11 ... Another failed bubble-screen on 2/3 for 0 gain. We can credit the crap play-call for it, but that's what he ran quite often. 12 ... Backfield crossing route on a play that typically won't work in the NFL. Nothing particularly special there otherwise, particularly for a large WR like him. 13 ... Great grab in the corner EZ for the TD. Perfect throw it should be added. This was his best game easily and the first of the season, and the one that everyone defers to for purposes of substantiating how good he is. After that game he posted 41 catches for 536 yards, for an average in the remaining 11 games of 3.7 catches for 48 YPG. I count three notable plays in this game that were attributable to individual skill. (8, 10, and 13) But again, I also discount it slightly given that LSU had a garbage pass D, which ranked 121st of 133 in passing yards allowed and 105th in Opponent Passing Rating allowed.

Also no one seems to talk about how Miami's track team folded in bad weather. The additions to the roster were also made with late season and playoff time in mind - big physical receivers, and multiple options coming from everywhere so that a single weapon or two can't just be easily neutralized (more easily in bad weather)

I agree, and have mentioned a few times this offseason that I'd be fine with the "quantity approach", most effectively deployed by the Green Bay Packers last season. Until the addition of MVS and Claypool (and the realistic seeming possibility that the latter might actually have his head screwed on straight), I didn't feel that the Bills had accomplished the "quantity" goal very effectively, either. I feel better about it now. To me, though, having a deeper stable of decent to good players is not necessarily superior to having a shallower stable of very good to elite players, it's simply a different approach. Nor does it mean that one can't attempt to rank teams' respective offensive skill player stables without it meaning that one has some kind of vendetta against one's favorite team simply for not ranking them #1.

Apparently you didn’t read my first post…I said it was what many people already thought…👍

I've learned not to care what national media talking heads say about the Bills because they are rarely doing a "deep dive" into the specifics and are just reacting to groupthink or a headline. Orlovsky studies, and he knows that a QB's best friend is multiple options so he doesn't have to force the ball in one particular place. The counterpoint is asking who is the "go-to" guy when you absolutely need a play, and I'd say that for this team it's going to be Kincaid -- and that doesn't concern me one bit.

We don’t know all the circumstances on why he isn’t there, but I agree. If he isn’t missing it due to something important, this is a poor decision.

That was hilarious. It’s the last bit on the clip. So much good stuff on those cartoons. they were relentless on Dan Snyder.

Somewhat Recently, the thanksgiving day game vs Dallas a couple years back, when Josh went Beast mode for the first down after the fumble, his I have arrived moment.

"Thats not how science works."

Also, playing with Josh seems to boost any receiver’s stats by 20%.

Happening EVERYWHERE.

I generally don't agree the perspective of, "so-and-so is going to replace Diggs, so-and-so replaces Davis, so-and-so replaces Harty," etc. There are various roles on the field of play, various roles on the practice field, and various roles in the locker room. Diggs doesn't get replaced. Other players step up and fill those roles, whether they're new to the team, or not. On the field of play, the ball will be spread around differently than it was last season. Every receiver group is unique. That's the way I look at it, and I suspect that's the way the coaches look at it.

I'm amazed by how many fans don't want to acknowledge the concept of quantity (multiple "good" players) over quality (a true WR1) when you have an all-world QB who can distribute the ball. It puts SO much more pressure on the defense when they can't just try to take away one strength.

Cook is still better than all 3. Kincaid and Knox are TE 2 and 3.

Worst president ever! I hope that POS, pedophile, Nazi burns in Hell. I hope he stays alive long enough to be persecuted for treason and for the child sex crimes he has committed agains his poor daughter. I'm sure there are many more crimes that he should be tried for. I hope he hangs.

Explains why the reliable media is all over this story!

Orlovsky is typically higher on the Bills than most. We love it and it's a smart move because Josh will find a way to make his weapons work, which will prove Orlovsky right more often than not. I still think we could benefit from a few more weapons on Offense, but it might come in the form of another stud LG in the offseason or another boundary receiver. I'm happy with this year, but even more excited when we carry the same players into next year and add a bit more.

I referred to Josh as our point guard in a couple of posts after the Diggs trade. Orlovski stole my metaphor. Can I have an atta boy here? 😀
