Also they often don’t work. We just don’t see those high lights or remember the run of the mill walk back to the huddle

plenty do. In fact every single one (but maybe excepting the pats) tend to do so in cycles of reloading for more serious runs.

that’s nowhere near the hit that comes with him. Heck that’s not even what the rams are at with the 40m signing bonus on the books for them.

so many young WRs move around, and many via trade

the can’t win with me players is a bit overstated. the pats did it with a drug dealing murderer. Michael Irvin allegedly stabbed a rookie on his team with a pair of scissors. Plenty of arrogant schmucks with rings.

meh. if you were super high pre draft you might as easily say “even though I can’t say I’m right I’m glad the teams rallied around him” both sides will see what they want around a guy with potential that has not put it together yet

i... uh... are we to the point that you have outrage about a non call that would’ve been declined? honestly, you are only getting so many PI flags regardless of play. It’s, in some ways, better not to get it on a catch. yea, you’d think you’d see some outrage if completely fabricated out of thin air. Odds are we didn’t hear the words or missed a camera angle

unless he really bottoms out, those guys tend to hang around even if they don’t put it together. Hard to move on from a “he can do it all with just a little more polish” guy early

we are missing a WR, could use a TE1, a RB2, a RT and I’m not an Allen hater but It being ok that he’s sub 60% because he’s pushing the ball deep doesn’t jive with the lack of big chunks actually completed we need more skill and more confidence on offense to hang with the big boys consistently.

On the flip side - days like these are examples of low expectations too. Had we pushed more chips on the table would we be considered a team like the ravens right now? But so many people, I believe our FO included didn’t look at this as a year to challenge as a true contender

at this point you want to burn some clock to not tie it and lose on a fg

quite the headline. I refuse to accept this as a bills mafia fansite

At least for sooooome seasons having a viable competitor might’ve knocked them down a seed with an extra loss or to the wildcard if the #2 was similarly good

As great as the pats have been - no doubt their legacy has HUGELY benefitted from a weak division and being able to play fewer games and at home to get into the big show.

I’m sure that focus will keep you prepared for peak performance unless you catch an easier path with slightly worse teams and better matchups for your roster. sign me up for a bye, home field advantage, and playing the lowest seed available- the trophy is worth just as much.

that he caught a game winning TD isn’t some magical feat. He had his number called in the right spot. This isn’t everyone looking at Julio and him still getting it done consistently. pulling out stats on a bunch of non producers isn’t particularly compelling. kind of have to believe there may be more to it- did he run the wrong route 4 times in that last game? Would that change your opinion? Especially with a young qb trying to learn progressions reliably and trust the calls. Not saying he did but finding out something like that should shock no one as a potential reason he’d be benched after an important catch. Or have you gone back and watched his other routes for quality consistency and separation? im the furthest from a lee smith fan. I’m always in favor of him not being near the field - any pass catcher is a better pass catcher and we could give a depth lineman some reps as the 6th blocker and likely be better off on all fronts. But Dukes slow, went undrafted, washed out of the league, came back to little interest, cleared waivers, and now struggles to be active. There’s a good chance it’s simply a reflection on his play and not incompetent evaluations

It’s almost like you have a history of consistently over valuing unknowns based on possibility, and are looking for someone that fits this body type to do it with. just something to consider in your duke takes. Do you like who he is or who you want him to be?

don’t forget about Benjamin!

meh. You also thought our WRs would be good last year. Sooooo

ive always been a little skeptical of the helmet claims.a qb can only process SO MUCH information and between reading coverages, remembering route options, digesting blocking etc.. to have someone also in our ear seems incredibly difficult. It’d have to be really simple single word commands about stepping up in the pocket for instance, not reads in the pocket and downfield and on the backside of the play. for special teams I can’t fathom what you tell a DE about beating his guy to the punter mid rush.

it’s pretty risky for the defender too, so not like it’ll suddenly happen haphazardly all the time

Yea, that one seems like Allen got lucky watt missed, not some special technique on his part

it’s about the best you can hope for in a wild card round. When everyone shows up it’s a tough game (as playoffs should be) but we match up well and I think they have more downside than us. not a gimme. Should be a good game.

outside of mt13 the bills have the better WRs. they just need a premiere guy at the top

they literally took it off the board with a ticky tack call and you think it’s just give it to drew?
