These WRs are outstanding

Talent…

Talent…

…and Phily’s offense is the worst it has been. If your philosophy is to share the wealth between Josh Palmer and George Pickens, your philosophy sucks. The Cowboys won a game, against a red hot Eagles team (despite their offensive struggles), because they consistently threw the ball to the best player on the field. He “out-talented” a loaded Eagles defense. They didn’t win with scheme or sharing the wealth. They stole a game because he was better than other guys. These Bills teams have consistently lost in the biggest moments because they didn’t have that guy. When they did, he dropped it. Why wouldn’t you want that?!? 🤣

It was the antithesis of “everybody eats.” This was, “that guy is better than those guys.” That’s what talent and elite playmakers looks like.

Hope that he turns it around. Elam is a great dude, just not a good football player. Hope he carves out a career there.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! Enjoy the family time

We are saying different things. You’re talking about the Bills in relation to their opponents. I’m talking about the strength of their opponents. Whether the Bills are better or not next year isn’t what this thread is about. It’s about, “are the teams that the Bills are playing against better next year than the teams that they played against this year?” The answer to that is almost certainly. How will the Bills do next year? It depends on how much they improve. Strength of schedule is relevant regardless of how the Bills are.

Not penciling in anything. All teams are NFL teams. Not all teams are equal NFL teams. If I told you next year, they can play at the Titans or at the Rams, you’d agree that those aren’t the same right? This year they had statistically like a top 5 easiest schedule despite being a division winner. That has largely held true. These teams that they were playing that people expected to be bad, didn’t become good. They are largely what we thought (Jets, Saints, Dolphins, etc). We thought this was an easy schedule and it was. The Bills are the ones that have come up short. It isn’t that teams rose up above what we thought. The exception is New England and they did it with an even easier schedule (which everyone also saw a year out).

The pricing is right about where I thought it would be. They could have made them $1k if they wanted to. The pricing was irrelevant. It’s a terrible purchase if they were $10. They are a bulky decoration. No one is buying them to sit in. The people willing to pay $650 would have paid $1k+. If you, “have to have them” you’re going to buy them regardless. There’s no number where it’s a “good buy.” It’s a sentimental decoration.

I heard that the seats with broken cup holders are now $586

Do I get the cupholder on the back of my seat or the one on the back of the people in front of me?

Here are my thoughts on the topic from last month: I’m not denying there’s a market for them. I’d probably talk myself into getting mine. Lol, it’s more “why?” I can see a sports bar wanting to display them. I was at Tully’s the other day and I’m 90% sure they have old stadium seats in there somewhere. Maybe Bennigan’s will pull down some upside down unicycles and replace them with conjoined plastic chairs? It’s the personal ownership that I’m struggling with. I’ll probably get excited and waste money on mine. I’ll bring it home and put it in the garage until I “find a better place for it.” It’ll sit there for about 3 months before I start getting questions about “what do you plan to do with that?” After another 3 months I’ll start getting asked, “why don’t you put that in your office or to the curb?” Obviously, I’m not going to put it in my office because my office is nice and throwing a couple of random plastic chairs in the corner does nothing to elevate the aesthetic. Another 3 months will go by and the pressure mounts to get them out of the garage. After 3 more months, the walls have caved in and something will have to give. I’ll give them both to my developmentally disabled cousin who will think that they’re amazing. After 2 months my aunt will be all over him to get rid of them because they don’t go in his apartment. 3 days will pass and he will sell them on Facebook marketplace for $32 a piece. I’ll have to drive over to his house, load them in the car, and drive to a Wegman’s parking lot to meet the buyer so that my cousin can collect $64. He will put that $64 towards Madden ‘28.

We lost these four games but not because those teams are drastically different than who we thought they were. It’s not like the Commanders going from pick 2 to the NFC Championship game. New England improved. I still think we split with them which wasn’t a crazy thought. The Texans are a little easier than they’ve been and they’ve been good. At Houston was always a coin flip. Atlanta and Miami are bad teams that you lost to. When you looked at the schedule last year those should have been wins. They aren’t losses because those teams are better than we thought. The Bills played poorly. The schedule look ahead isn’t pointless imo. The majority of teams aren’t drastically different from what you expect. Next year’s schedule is significantly tougher. If you go through those 2 threads that @May Day 10 posted, people were spot on a year ago. Next year is a lot harder. That doesn’t mean that the Bills will have a worse record (or a better one). This year, the Bills had as easy of a path as they could possibly ask for with the exception of Burrow missing a couple more weeks. The seas parted for them and they peed down their leg.

The Josh Johnson of wide receivers 🤣🤣 Me too
