  1. Past hour
  2. No clue why we are comparing to teams from 40-50 years ago...NFL is no where near the same as then. Honestly, we dont compare to any of the recent SB teams. Not a strong defense, too 1 dimensional on offense. Not saying we cant make the SB, but we will be doing it with the worst group of pass catchers and a poor run defense (unless that miracously changes). If we go, its going to take near perfection from Josh and defense being opportunistic, like this past game.
  3. Actually, GS is part of the elite and its' interest
  4. QB stats in the 1970s were different in relative terms from what they are now. You need to look at context, and PFR's adjusted passer rating provides that. Between 1974 and 1980 - the prime of his career - he finished above 100 (with 100 being league average) six out of seven years: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/F/FergJo00.htm. Also, @eball, if you look at the adjusted passer ratings for Kemp, he wasn't great, but he wasn't horrible relative to the rest of the league. In 1964 (a year in which the Bills won the AFL championship with an 11-2 record), he only completed 44.2 percent of his passes and had 13 TDs against 26 INTs. Yet he also led the league in YPA (hard to believe given his completion rate) at 8.5 ypa (extremely high by today's standards, even; Josh Allen's career high is 7.9, although he's at 8.1 this season). The reason? The average completed catch was 19.2 yards! That would never happen now, and I suspect as a consequence that many of those 26 INTs were 45-yard arm punts. It was truly bombs away back then. Anyway, you simply can't take 1960s and 1970s stats and draw conclusion unless you put them in context.
  5. and in the crowd that consumes illegal drugs...
  6. So far... 7/23 Rush at MSG 7/31 Motley at PNC Bank arts center 8/12 Guns N Roses at MetLife Not a bad couple weeks...
  7. Correct. I said hamstrings take 3-4 weeks when Kincaid pulled his and a moderator here erased my post. Past performance is an indicator of future performance in this injury case.
  8. I’m assuming they are probably trying to figure out the severity of the hamstring injury still? That seems like a wide spread in timeline. Or perhaps they are simply waiting to see how these next two games go and decide if they need him back in the line-up sooner if we lose one or both of our next couple of games to stay alive for the playoff hunt
  9. Lack of respect for his talent, or extra respect for Allen as a runner there. Its why Allen is so good in the redzone
  10. That’s not a solution either, but they can be jailed. They’re just going to keep recruiting
  11. I strongly disagree with this. Nearly every word of it, the economy is the big issue. People want to live, rather than to survive. Trump makes that harder by removing from the labor pool people who actual want to work and who actually embody American values. And these lazy slobs, dependent on my tax dollars, of whom you speak? Lots of rural MAGA in that crowd. I want people here who want to work. It’s what has made America great.
  12. Just rest him until the Playoffs. We have zero pass rush with him playing hurt. Maybe pulling his hamstring is a blessing disguise so we’re forced to rest him and his wrist.
  13. McD said it could be 1-2 weeks or 4-5, hoping for the shorter end of time frame-- so yeah I'd fully expect he is out at least until Dec 21st but more likely the 28th, they won't rush a player back from soft tissue immediately before playoffs.
  14. he certainly appears to have some health problems: the chronically bruised hand, the mysterious mri that his doc interpreted as normal vasculature despite his previous dx of venous insufficiency, his daytime naps (?sleep apnea), his intermittent leg dragging etc. Given the efforts to hide biden's decline, I wouldn't expect transparency from the R's.
  15. He talks to himself, based on all of the threads he starts and responds to.
  16. Have you looked at the starting QB’s we have faced in the wild card? These aren’t even playoff caliber teams. Meaningless. Mac Jones, Mason Rudolph, Skyler Thompson, Bo Nix….who cares how we did vs borderline playoff teams starting back ups in home games
  17. Yeah sure. Those guys care first, foremost, and only about money. And they think Trump sucks.
  18. Yeah I think Cook still is a bit underrated by Bills fans. The blocking is great but his vision and footwork elevates the blocking more than the other way around IMO. They put a lot of trust in him to make the blocks right and he just about always delivers. He's done a really good job of picking up dirty yards too when nothing else is available which is why his rate of 0 or negative yard runs is so low. Compare that to Ray Davis who has a lot more negative runs on his resume.
  19. Pat Moran on twitter indicated we may not see Bosa again until Christmas fwiw.
  20. He has a top 5 HC in the nfl. The OC is great and will be there as long as Vrabel doesn’t fire him. Maye looks really good. He’s still growing which is the scary thing. Unlike Tua, Maye can actually make plays outside the pocket and on the go. Really sucks that NE basically fell into another franchise QB with an awesome HC so quickly. A HC , mind you, who knows how to beat the Bills
  21. Always thought Harris needed better receivers...
  22. Sorry I'm confused - how does having turnovers show they underestimated the Pats?
  23. https://foghat.com/tour/ At least there is one original member...
  24. 1) Kyle Williams is the receiver you cite behind Diggs and Hollins? The fact that you don't know who Kayshon Boutte or Pop Douglas are basically tells me that you don't actually follow NFL football. Boutte has become one of the best deep threats in the league. His ascent started prior to McDaniels arrival. Douglas is an electric slot/gadget guy. Another guy who was impactful prior to McDaniels. How could you not remember him when he used to be the only guy with juice in that WR corps in years past? Very impactful, dynamic, inexpensive, starting caliber players with complementary skills who are trending toward getting paid handsomely when their FA comes. What really gives your angle away is that you know who their 5th or 6th receiving option is(Kyle Williams).......likely because he was in the draft last year and you probably start paying attention to draft eligible players after the season is over. There is no comparing their WR corps to that of the Bills. Even if the Bills had the health that they have had in NE. If Allen had that group and a healthy Hunter Henry instead of an absent Dalton Kincaid then Allen is likely in the process of repeating his MVP performance.......and then some. 2) As for the old argument that Tom Brady had no pass game options.........he had a HoF TE in Gronk and a very impactful, dynamic player in Julian Edelman(much better than anyone the Bills currently have at WR) for a lot of those seasons in question. When it started getting to the level of how bad the Bills receiving talent is THIS season....specifically 2019....that's when Brady's production fell off dramatically and the next season he went to Tampa Bay and his career was revived thanks to a bunch of excellent receiving options.
