  1. I am amazed by the number of haters of this pick and self-proclaimed brilliance in the evaluation of NFL talent. I will admit, it is out of my scope to evaluate talent in the NFL. So, I leave it to those who get paid to do it. Mel Kiper had Keon as the 2nd day best receiver available and the third best available overall.

    I look at the haters of this pick and I laugh at superiority complex. What makes them think they are a better evaluation of talent than Bean and Kipler? You look like fools to me, or on Kraft's payroll trolling here. Drink your beer and keep your mouth shut. 

    It's better to keep your mouth shut and thought of as a fool than open it and remove all doubt.

    I trust the process.

    Go Bills!!!

    Dorsey was let go because our offense consistently showed little ability to adjust and create rhythms to operate through during a game.

     

    And, the team as a whole needed a shakeup and Dorsey's exit could provide that without damaging the team's production.  And Brady came in and improved the offense which was a plus.

    Doresy was let go because the Bills running game couldn't be stopped and he refused to take advantage of that. They averaged 7.4 yards per carry, while the passing game was only averaging 6.8 yards per attempt. What Offensive coordinator only runs the ball 26 times while averaging 7.4 yards a carry?  A coordinator who deserves to get fired. The Bronco's couldn't stop the run game, only incompletions and interceptions, caused the drives to end. He should've run the ball until Cook and Murry were puking or finally stopped. 

  3. Statistically he had an amazing year for his limited targets.

     

    He led the league in yards per target with 13.6. The 10th best in the league was only 10 yards per target. That's a 3.6 yards difference between the #1 and #10.

     

    He led the league in W/R catch rate with a 86.7% The 10th best W/R catch rate was 73.4%, again a significant difference.

     

    3rd longest reception in the NFL for 81 yards. 

     

    He Led the NFL in Receiving Success Rate with 73.3% (a successful catch as one which gains at least 40% of the yards required on first down, 60% of the yards required on second down, and converts third and fourth downs.)

     

    12th in yards per catch with 15.7

     

    Was 136th in the NFL with 45 targets, however he was 66th in the league with 611 yards for the season.

     

    They need to try to feed him the ball more, hopefully he can produce similar results with more targets.

     

    Go Bills!!

    Next Year!!!!

    I started to see this pretty clearly this season as well.  I know many on here believe the team is underachieving.  But actually with the talent we have they are over achieving.  So why isn't the team more talented.  Cause it is very hard to have the most talented team in the NFL no matter how good a GM you are. 

     

    If you put any credibility in the Pro Bowl selections, that is selected by a combination of players, coaches and fans, it appears the Bills may have overachieved.  The Bills had only had 2 pro bowlers while the Ravens had 7, Chiefs 5, Dolphins 6 and the Browns had 5.

    This is a stupid take. Reporter just happened to finish this week. Reporter didn’t look to time it, or go after fans.
     

    Think of it this way? We complain about the Bills local reporters being soft because they want to keep team access or are on Bills payroll. Not the case here, for sure!!! 

    Your take is beyond stupid. And you know for a fact that the reporter just finished it? It most certainly was released to inflict the most damage. Look at it this way, there are 365 days in a year. It was "just finished" 3 days before the biggest game of the year. That's nonsense.

    I'm referring to the pick where Davis and the defender were in each other's pocket and the ball was right there but picked off 

    I have watched that play no less than 6 times. Davis had him beat by at least a step and a half. If Allen hits him in stride, it's a 30 yard gain. The defender wasn't in his pocket until Davis had to come to a complete stop to try to get to the ball. It was well underthrown. Go watch the highlights at NFL.com.

     

  7. The Clutch points has him at #5.

     

    "For a defensive minded coach in a highly offensively garnered game, McDermott has done wonders in Buffalo. He's done that by putting together good staffs along with a highly-talented roster. Sure, not getting past the divisional round is concerning, but that doesn't change the fact that McDermott has completely changed the face of the AFC East and kept the Bills in constant Super Bowl talks."

  8. I have used NFL Game pass International in the past. It will allow you to stream all games live. When i returned to the states I used a VPN service to watch the games. I would highly recommend the VPN regardless. Netflix and other streaming services will not have the same movies or shows as the US. Also, some banks and financial services may block you if you are coming in from an overseas location. My local credit union did this, the only way I could access my account was to VPN in from a stateside location.

    About 27 Million a Year. (75% of that coming from income taxes)

     

    I can like the bills and also say this is a terrible F*&( deal for NYS.

     

    It will take time to recoup the investment. Ralph Wilson stadium was built for 22 Million in 1973 and now the State is drawing in about 27 million annually. What will the NFL salary cap be in 20 years,  Who knows? But in 2002 the salary cap was 71,000,000. Today it is 208,000,000. That's almost 3X the amount in 20 years. In 2046 the state could be possibly looking at 80 Million a year in tax revenue with 10 years remaining on the lease, possibly earning over 1 billion in taxes the final 10 years.
