Was just thinking about this and didn't think it deserved a new topic, so I decided to put it here. Many Bills fans have lamented our WR room for at least 2-3 years now (not totally without cause). And we drool over teams with two stud receivers. So, I thought that I would look at how the teams with the best WR duos are doing. At the start of this season, the following teams were considered the best WR duos (generally-obviously opinions differ) . I have included their current records and chances of making the playoffs this season: Odds of making Team/Record playoffs (2025) 1. Bengals (4-8) 2% 2. Eagles (8-4) 95% 3. Cowboys (6-6) 16% 4. Lions (8-4) 43% 5. Rams (9-3) 96% 6. Vikings (4-8) <1% 7. Dolphins (5-7) <1% 8. Seahawks (9-3) 93% 9. Tampa Bay (7-5) 81% 10. Washington (3-9) <1% 11. Chargers (8-4) 61% 12. Chiefs (6-6) 35% The Bills are 8-4 with a 90% chance of making the playoffs. Only two of the top WR teams have a better record than the Bills (by 1 game) and only three of them have better playoff odds than the Bills. Only 5 of the 12 teams have better than 50% odds of making the playoffs. Yes, I know there were injuries (Burrow, Chase, Lamb, Tyreek, Evans, Godwin, etc.---kudos to TB for weathering their storm), but that's part of the equation too. You may be weaker elsewhere on your team in order to have those two studs and if one of them gets injured, it's a bigger loss to the team (harder to get wins without those players, obviously). And obviously who your quarterback is matters big time too (but I think you could say that at least 9 of those 12 teams have pretty good QBs). I'm not saying this is some be all end all stat to discourage getting better at wide receiver. And I would not say no to one or even two stud receivers if the opportunity were there for Buffalo and it made sense (obviously you don't want to pay two stud receivers if you are a run-first team). But, I think it does at least go to show that just having stud receivers does not guarantee anything.

I honestly think Beane gets shown the door this off season, barring a bonafide super bowl run.

I have one cracked Bills ashtray, 1972. 6 bucks and its yours

I have a hat… GO BILLS!!!

Don't forget, Tony Eason also got there in 1986. I think if you go back to the mid-1980s you will see that there was really nobody else in the AFC, certainly not on the level of a Mahomes. I was 14 in 1983 and I remember a ton of great '70s quarterbacks all retiring or losing effectiveness right around that time and not being replaced by anybody good. - Terry Bradshaw in Pittsburgh -- Mark Malone succeeded him. Mark Malone! - Bert Jones in Baltimore/Indy -- they drafted Elway but traded him and were stuck with Art Schlichter and Mike Pagel - Ken Stabler and Jim Plunkett in Oakland/LA -- replaced by Marc Wilson. Marc Wilson! - Dan Pastorini in Houston -- replaced by Warren Moon, who had a great career but never made it, thanks in part to us - Brian Sipe in Cleveland -- replaced by Paul McDonald. Paul McDonald! - Ken Anderson in Cincinnati -- they were working in Boomer Esiason, who did make it to a SB - Dan Fouts in San Diego -- he hung around the longest, but the cupboard was bare when he retired (and even before that) - Jim Zorn in Seattle -- Dave Krieg was decent but not great - KC didn't have anybody at all Buffalo (Fergy), New England (Steve Grogan), Miami (Bob Griese), the Jets (Richard Todd), and Denver (Craig Morton) had also lost or were losing longtime QBs, but they mostly hit the lottery in '83. Everyone else was screwed, including KC who tried with Blackledge. As others have pointed out, there was no Mahomes sitting around blocking the class of '83. So this isn't that much of a surprise that the class of '18 hasn't gotten there (yet).

Ah, 1:00 pm, a civilized time for the start of a football game, 😁👍🍸🚬 GO BILLS!!!

I suspect we might show up with a gameplan to stop the run.

Link ?

The math on making the playoffs is tough with 55 games left to play. We need to go 34-11 to get to 94 points.

It is already installed.

Hey Donuts, GET OFF MY LAWN! Good to hear from you bud. Go Bills!

I have 3 Josh Allen jerseys- Red/ White / Blue with the desire for the black jersey yet- and some Josh Jaqs cereal- and some hoodies- so no not really- but I understand why some people do- I’m just a boring fan when it’s comes to merch

Sorry if it was already mentioned, but I watched a clip of McDermott discussing the whole thing, and he is his clearly doing everything in his power to conceal his boiling rage over the whole ordeal lol

I would anticipate Benford traveling with Chase. It's not a bad idea to go the old Patriot route though and have Hairston travel with him and provide help over top at all times. Puts your best corner on Higgins and doubles Chase. Allows you to play your 2 man in obvious passing situations, but also play Cover 3, Cover 6, or rolled Tampa looks to get your best match-ups on both weapons. Just depends on how comfortable they are with Hairston in all those situations.

Oh, come on. Whatshisname has been here for ages! At least since that other guy (forgot his name) drafted ahead of him out of that college somewhere in the Midwest. (Or was it the Southwest?) Now that he's gone, we'll miss him every day, good old... whathisname.

Mom doesn’t mind. She’s a fan too.

I don’t know, still looked quicker than Keon.

Because the Alt Media got this soooo right when it fingered a female soccer player from the Capitol Police. Yeah, take your win, Bongino Boy!

I agree. It's clear that he wasn't intending to retire. He wanted to go to Philly. Flat out. And I'm not sure it's just about Buffalo and that he reports to another more "desirable" city. He's 34, made plenty of cash and has 5 kids and his hottie wife sitting there in Philly. I think it really was Philly or bust, and unfortunately for him, he went bust.

Same here. I’ve gotten rid of a bunch of stuff, but still have more than anyone needs. All boxed up to probably only see one more time before I move on from it

That sounds like staking out your neighbor's trash for a Christmas present they didn't want and threw out, grabbing it at night and returning it to the place they bought it. Oh don't look at me like that, we've all done it! Right?

Is Wax Charlie gonna reemerge like JFK Jr? Where's his Vincent Fusca doppleganger?

It will be the Giants vs Jets

And the fact this tape didn't scream 9.88 RAS guy. That always makes me suspicious of a "combine monster." That said.... they took him in round 3. That is a reasonable place to take that swing. I don't hate that pick as much as some Beane has made.
