It's a fair point about the NFL changing to a 17-game schedule in 2021---and even in 2022 they only played 16 regular season games (because of the Damar Hamlin situation)---but, even factoring that in, the team still did very well last year in comparison (as far as scoring points; see below). Now, in 2020, Stefon Diggs had 1,535 yards and 8 TDs; Beasley had 967 yards and 4 TDs; and Gabe Davis had 599 yards and 7 TDs. A true #1 WR, one of the best slot guys in the game, and a good/above average #2 outside guy. Kind of the traditional set-up in the more modern passing league. That year, the team passed for 4,620 yards, while the team gained 1,723 yards on the ground (6,343 yards total), for a 73/27 pass/run split. In 2024, the Bills passed for 3,875 yards, and ran for 2,230 yards (6,105 yards total), for a 51/49 pass/run split. So, the 2024 team averaged 37 fewer yards per game, but had a much more balanced attack (meaning the WRs weren't as important as they were in 2020). In 2020, the WRs accounted for 84% of the team's passing yards (RBs and TEs accounted for 16% of passing yards). And the WRs overall accounted for 61.4% of our total offensive yards. In 2024, the WRs accounted for 61% of the team's passing yards (RBs and TEs accounted for 39% of passing yards). The WRs overall accounted for 39% of our total offense. I'm sure some of that disparity was talent-level, injuries, rookies, etc. But a big part of it is having the more balanced attack (everyone eats). We are a very different team than we were in 2020. Who knows, it may come back to bite us (not having a true stud WR), but I understand why the Bills may not feel the need to overspend on WRs? They just aren't as valuable at 39% of total offense vs. when they were 61% of the total offense. You may not like the different philosophy, but it makes sense to me that due to it (and Josh Allen), that the Bills think they can be just as good not putting too many assets into the position (at least as much as they used to). As to how all of that has affected scoring points (I've included all years 2020-2024, but highlighted 2020 and 2024 for comparison): Total Reg. Season Points Pts/Game (Reg Season) Pts/Game (Reg season and playoffs) 2020 501 (16 games) 31.3 29.9 (+3 PO games) 2021 483 (17 games) 28.4 29.8 (+2 PO games) 2022 455 (16 games) 28.4 27.7 (+2 PO games) 2023 451 (17 games) 26.5 26.6 (+2 PO games) 2024 525 (17 games) 30.9 30.6 (+3 PO games) So, 2024 was our best year at points per game in the regular season since 2020 (only 0.4 points per game less). And if you include the playoffs, then yes, the 2024 Bills did still outscore the 2020 Bills in points per game (scoring 0.7 points more per game overall). Different philosophy, very similar results. 2020: 15-4 record (13-3 reg. season), 3 playoff games ending in the AFC Championship Game vs K.C. 6,343 total yards, 501 total points, 29.9 points/game. 2024: 15-5 record (13-4 reg. season), 3 playoff games ending in the AFC Championship Game vs K.C. 6,105 total yards, 525 total points, 30.6 points/game. Now, how the Bills stack up talent-wise position-by-position with other contenders is a whole other conversation for which I would probably need to do a lot more research on (for the other teams) to get a better idea than just how many pro-bowlers or all-pros each team has. My gut tells me you may be correct with at least a few to even maybe a handful of the teams (that they would win out in an overall talent comparison), but I doubt the disparity would be as large as you think. Some teams may have more elite players, but the drop-off at other positions may be higher than a team that may not have as many studs, but may have fewer weaknesses or weak links. And just as the homers may over-value our players, the pessimists also seem to under-value our players in comparison to other team's players.

Sadly these guys are not too smart either : https://www.weny.com/story/52866766/one-person-dead-after-motorcycle-accident-in-horseheads

Or when you’re in it

I am not sure if that link was behind a paywall... But I was able to read. Cops in Minny are cracking down... They were going 45mph... Through stop signs etc... Sheesh!

If he retired tomorrow to pursue another career, I don’t think he gets in. At least, not first ballot. Thankfully he’s got quite a few years left and by that time should have a slam dunk case for first ballot.

The courts are allowing Trump to use the national guard…How is that being a dictator?

Not against self defense…But the use of lethal force must only be used while protecting yourself against equal or greater force, according to the state of Texas. Anthony was not in danger of serious bodily harm, or losing his life…And Metcalf certainly did not have a deadly weapon…Yet Anthony escalated a typical high school altercation by using lethal force in retaliation… It’s a terribly tragic situation…But Anthony MUST serve prison time for taking a life…Anything short of 10 years would be an injustice imo…👍 And I think that’s being fair.

What a feckless follower

Makes me think of going to the drive-in. A source for a trifecta of entertainment in my life with family, then my obnoxious teen friends, then dates & girlfriends. Also remember being at a multi screen drive-in with my parents and my brother and I getting caught by Dad trying to peek at the r-rated movies on another screen hoping to see ‘boobies’.

I think his recent MVP award pushed him over the line even if he never makes a Super Bowl. Barring injury or falling off a cliff performance wise think he is in.

Horrendous

That was an Auto Pen. And Fauci. But it’s a good first step acknowledging that it exists after being in denial forever.

One SB at least, I think anything less than two is a poor reflection on this franchise..

I graduated from HS.

And even with bad tape, he was on pace for around 1000 yards as a 21 year old rookie. His yards and big plays were mostly all him too. The scramble drill big play vs Detroit was mostly Josh, but Coleman was still got open- even being so slow. Crazy how many people are writing him off solely because of his 40 time. Route running can improve and I think we’ll see that he’s improved

He was very good if not elite while healthy though. He seemed washed after his first year or two with Jets however..

Hey, Senator. When's your next townhall ? Asking for someone who wants to rush the stage and ask a question. .

Will Paulina Porizkova be there?

Yup. The federal deep state is deeper than ever. Supposedly, we had bureaucrats secretly running things. Now we have a dictator who has removed all guardrails and is doing it openly.

As favorites I’d go with Tre, Schnow, Ed, Brown, Shakir and Groot.

Ty Johnson, just love his hands and the way he runs.

Is there anymore deep state that what has happened in Minnesota?
