So if Mahomes does not succeed he must not be very good. Correct? I think i get what you are saying, it is like Russell Wilson and Pete Carroll. The right fit. Reed and Mahomes is a good fit.

Average means you take the highs and lows and add them togethether and then divide by those amounts. If the highs occur in the playoffs and result in a SB win, who cares about 'AV'? This system, while overall does a decent job of ranking QB's, must also have an asterisk with SB winner. show the 'AV' of the quarterback during that SB season and playoffs. I think this is nice but I also think this is what's degrading sports to some extent. Watch and enjoy. Sports are suppose to be entertainment. Now some treat it like a job. It's a nice hobby to do all this and not get paid .

We have no idea what's going on. Miller could of shown up a little heavy and this is coaches trying to light a fire under him. Also this staff has little to no ties to a third rounder from a couple years back

Any of you boys use the Big Green Egg?

To me it is negligent of the documentary makers if they do not tell the entire story of how the Bills Mafia got started. The film makers could also point out who Dell is and what he wants the Bills Mafia to stand for. However, that won't get anywhere near the attention showing some people doing crazy stunts screaming 'billsmafia' .

Thank you for pointing this out. He also doesn't drink and is a devout Christian and a family man.

I hope ' i need the weekend to decide' translates into ' i did not feel comfortable saying i want to play for the Bills'

so freaking sad. I just mentioned him a couple days ago in the Maclin thread... i thought they were in the same draft.

I went to the Flora-Bama a few years back, got one of the best stories of my life out of that night. Any chance Uber did this as a publicity stunt to announce their coming to Buffalo?

Huuuuuge upgrade over Goodwin. Let's hope it gets done.

Isn't Maclin from the same draft class as Hardy was?

Hey now

Why wouldn't they? Besides a select few QB's in this league every player is tradeable under the right circumstance. If the Bills could get another first or 2 seconds and a third , I would do it .

Emmotional and under control. Has the respect of his players because he can make the right judgement call while also being passionate. That's a coach I'd want to play for.

i wonder what percentage of those catches will come within 3-5 yes of the LOS.

Talent wise there was not a huge loss. Gilmore is good, but frustrating. Let's see what the rookies bring and the maturation of the second year guys. Biggest improvement to me looks like the Bills are running the team like the majority of the has everyone new and on the same page. The way the Bills had been doing things was annoying. How can you expect continuity when you have key people from all different era's in place?

Exactly. Maybe guys got to a position where they 'failed' and thus went to a position where they have had success.

Good for Fitz. I like him and he is a good player to have on your team. The frustration with Fitz was when he would let his emotions get the better of him. These were the times Fitz would decide to make a throw that physical he should not attempt. When under control Fitz is a mid level starter.

Defense to me is about each defender knowing their role during a called set. Defenders by nature like to think less but attack and react more. Moving defenders all over the place is very complicated to learn and takes away from the ability to attack and react to some degree. The less a defenders worries about his pre snap positioning the easier it should be to get off the ball. I don't think the quote means the Bills will be running base defenses. I do think it means the D will be a bit more streamlined. Less pre snap movement is ok. It is about mixing it up at the right time . That's what makes a D good for me. When to blitz and when to stay back. Knowing the opposition and having the right D ready for the game.

This seems a little like what the Falcons have done with their front office of late. Brought in guys who maybe held a higher position at one time to fill a specialty fit area.

I want to believe this. I have seen little evidence that supports it.

Jeff Van Note comes to mind for the Falcons. Jeff isn't in the HOF but deserves to be. He played center on some terrible Falcon teams for 18 years. He only missed four games and has 6 pro bowl appearances.

Things were pretty bad around here for the first week. Atlanta does not have the multi generational fan base like the Bills, so it didn't last as long.

I thought the Falcons were not going to be very good last year. IF anyone can get his team back and ready to play it is Quinn. By all accounts they lost basically nothing from last year and added some very good pieces in the off season, Poe being one. Falcons will also be getting their best corner back from injury. Atlanta is a lot like Buffalo, when you think they will be good they usually are not. From that perspective i agree anything is possible. Barring a Matt Ryan or Julio Jones ( to lesser extent) injury, Falcons should be a 10 win team and compete for the SB. Atl vs Buffalo would be awesome. I think Atl vs NE is very possible.

How is Atl in trouble? If anything they got better. Are you saying other teams are better?
