I could see Lamar being #1 with a dozen or so Ravens on this list, while should be in the Top 3; with Cook, Brown, & Dion as the only other Bills one the list. I thought Shakir might break in 90-100 range, but guess not.

You can’t possibly think the reigning leading rushing TD leader is less valuable than Pacheco right now? Like current, 3.7 ypc Pacheco? He’s done nothing in two years and never really reached his full potential before then. I get that miserably hating has become kind of your schtick, but this is really out there.
It's based on the metrics Barnwell explained in the article. Pacheco plays three downs, while Cooks does not; therefore, he is deemed more valuable, even though Cook produces more. I believe Cook is the 2nd best player on our team.

I wonder if these are the same folks who want to fire McD for not getting to the SB despite our shortcomings at WR, TE, and RB (and elsewhere).And if they're the same people who don't want to fire Beane despite some of the challenges he's had with roster-building.
I'm not pointing fingers or blaming anyone. Just curious. Despite some poor decisions over the years, I personally find it hard to blame McD for not winning us a Lombardi when he's never been given a Lombardi caliber roster.The best rosters were 2020-22 and even those had some holes

Cook easily over any back they have. Kelce is basically retired already and plays every down looking like and old, tired man. I'll take Kincaid and his youth and upside over Kelce at this point.
Their WRs aren't anything to write home about. They are fine. Better than the Bills, but not anywhere close to the top of the league.
Cook is not an every down back, Pacheco is. Kelce in his semi retired form is still far more productive than Kincaid; I hope that changes this year but there is nothing to guarantee that it will.

Chiefs are 12? I mean.... whatever.
What Bills WR/RB/TE would you take over any Chief at this point. The talent gap is vast.

This place might be easier to tolerate of we sucked, rather than entering the season as a SB favorite again.
This is our fifth year of being in the top five in odds without any actual appearances. If odds were always accurate, we would all be much richer. It's important to understand that odds reflect where gamblers choose to place their money, not necessarily where experts would place their bets. With the rise of legalized sports gambling, the market has become flooded with uninformed bets.

I do not sit around and rank DT’s. I don’t care what somebody else’s list says. I don’t think Ed has been as consistently effective as I’d like, but he’s great at times. It’s a team game, and I like our team. I see no reason to try to put them down or find things to complain about, because there’s already FAR too much of that around here.
What do you think people come here do to? Discuss sunshine & rainbows?
We have invested so much into our DL with little to no results. When the biggest investment on the DL isn’t in the Top 10 of his position, it should be discussed. Many people make predictions based on prior results and the prior results of improving the DL the last eight years, have many of us hopeless that we finally figure it out because nothing changes if nothing changes.

Dec 28 will tell the tale. Gonna be a tough game for both teams that day.
Hopefully we will have the division and 2 seed locked up by then

Beane did a lot to try and improve the defense this offseason. We will see if those moves pay off or not.
Two players are returning from PED suspensions, Joey Bosa and a rookie class that seems to be over-relied upon, which typically isn't a recipe for success. Our biggest issue is the lack of development among the defensive linemen we've recently drafted. Players like Oliver, Epenesa, and Groot have the potential to be productive but haven't shown significant improvement since their rookie seasons.

I hope Steve Schirripa’s character gets into an argument with his wife over the Bills, alluding to it being his hobby and asking why she has to belittle it.

Strahan was a dominant force on the defensive line that stopped the Patriots’ perfect season. Thurman was great, but he might not have been the best running back on his college team.😆

More upside than Stephen Gosnell or Kelly Akharaiyi

DeMaurice Smith was still running the NFLPA at that time. That guy was awful and did very little for the players. That’s what they get for leaving him in power.

Well if you have Allen, Lamar, Mahomes or you PHI with Hurts and that roster how is that wrong? Honestly that should be the expectation given the rosters they have and caliber of QB play. Once you hit the divisional round/title games your talking about slim margins between winning and losing so you have to be realistic with that. But if I was a fan of any four of those teams my expectation should be SB title optimistically.
Again CIN is weird because Burrow and the offense is elite, but the defense was so bad (and this hasn't been a banner offseason of improvement) that it weighs down what they do. It is a quasi Manning Colts situation there, except IND at least spend real money and resources whereas CIN is fighting with their best pass rusher and their 1st round pick who also is a talented rusher over contract language sooo yeaaaa
It’s not wrong at all. I just didn’t think there will be that much difference of opinion and I don't think there has been. I have the same opinion, this team could win the Super Bowl but realistically we should easily win the division and a playoff game or two; which is still a good year.

I am only replying to this so everyone can see this post. Adam Gase and Nate Hackett would be as successful as McDermott.
Most likely.

Nope. You were talking about what might have happened if he hadn't played 7 seeds in the wildcard rounds. But he did. That's what happened.
I never stated "what might have happened." Instead, I simply excluded the games that McDermott coached against 7-seed teams that Marty did not coach and win against, which could inflate a playoff record. When the argument is that McDermott is far superior to Schottenheimer, I will present information that counters that claim. You could have argued, "Well, we would have had a bye instead of playing a 7-seed," which would lead to a different discussion. However, you seem intent on dismissing anything that contradicts your narrative and telling others how to use a message board, even when they are being respectful.

LOL
You're the one eliminating all of McDermott's wins against 7th seed teams for your argument!
You know the Raven's were road favorites against the Bills last year....I guess that doesn't qualify as an upset.
We were the 2 seed, they were the 3 seed. Gamblers had more confidence in Bmore than Buffalo, that's why the line was where it was. The line follows the money, nothing else.

Stuff that you know, actually happened. Or stuff that might happen in the future. Not create narratives about stuff that we know didn't happen in the past so that we can rewrite history to support out own personal biases.
So what did I say that was didn't actually happen? Were the road records incorrect? Was McDermott's record against non 7 seeds incorrect? If you come up with stats and I come with other stats, you can't discredit me because it goes against your narrative.

I reject this entirely.
This is ridiculous. Arguing about what McDermott's record would be if he had played games that never took place is utter madness as an argument for firing him.
We all need to stop the "what if something that hasn't happened or didn't happen had happened" game. And I say that on both sides of the argument. That advances nothing any further.
There is a legitimate disagreement about how the record of what has happened in reality should be viewed. That's fine. You are entitled to your view even if I disagree with its conclusion. But all this hypothetical web weaving is stupid.
Isn’t a point of the message board to discuss hypothetical scenarios with other people that have a similar interest in the team? What are we suppose to discuss?

Are highest seeds always the better team lol?
Are you going to sit here and tell me that the 2024 Bucs as the 3rd seed were better than Commanders because they were the 6th seed?
If the higher seed was always better the Super Bowl would just 1 seed vs 1 seed. Were the 6th seed Steelers better than the 3rd seed Ravens?
Marty was 1-6 on the road in the playoffs, Sean is 0-5. When is McDermott going to pull of his playoff upset?

Shottenheimer faced multiple 6 seed teams lol. That was the lowest seed at the time lol.
I can't use statistics but you can edit statistics. This is a fair argument lol.
And 6 seeds are better than 7 seeds. A 7 seed has yet to win an NFL playoff game; granted the majority of AFC 7 seeds have lost to the Bills
