  7. He is another Andy Reid.
  8. I think that your take is pretty accurate. They had Gronk as a big downfield threat for a while after Moss, but he missed a lot of time in several seasons because of injuries. For a significant number of seasons they had Welker and then Edelmann who were sure-handed, clutch WRs playing in the slot more than being downfield threats. Later in the Belichick/Brady era, the Pats also had ex-Bill Chris Hogan at WR. Most of their boundary WRs were decent but they weren't among the best WRs of their time. Let's not pretend that Deion Branch was Justin Jefferson or DK Metcalf or any of the big name WRs that some Bills fans fantasize about. He was traded to Seattle after his big 998 yard season, and then was traded back to NE a couple of years later. In 2010, Branch caught passes for 930 yards between the Seahawks and Patriots. Other than his 2 big seasons, Branch's yards per season were modest, mostly between 400 and 800 yards. He was a decent WR, but hardly a really good one.
  9. Seems like each year under McDermott, with one or two exceptions, the team's weaknesses get exposed over a multiple-game stretch, inviting criticism internally and externally. Luckily, the Bills have also shown a tendency to then rally and redefine themselves down the stretch. I hate the nagging sense that the Bills aren't at the cutting edge of opponent-specific gameplans or in-game play-calling. Margins are super fine in this league, and getting outcoached or doing less to actively attack and disrupt each specific opponent puts too much pressure on players to win in less-than-advantageous circumstances. My favorite coaches do specific things each week to give specific players advantages. I don't see that from the Bills (with success) as often as I'd like. Coaching staffs don't count against the cap and therefore should be mercilessly critiqued and improved upon as needed. Every roster has weaknesses. Which coaches do the best job of maximizing their personnel with what they're given?
  10. ? How would that work? If Ed is back, I would think that would increase Sanders probability of being out.
