  1. As soon as someone says "Edmunds was a Pro Bowler" I know their opinion is worthless. Winning a popularity contest among fans means absolutely ZERO.

     

    29 years and you can't understand how people want to see arguably the best athlete on the defensive side of the ball moved around in this defense and put in positions to make big plays instead of standing in the middle of the field waiting to see if a running back leaks out of the backfield.

     

    I think the rampant alcoholism amongst Bills fans really prevents some of them from understanding what they are watching.

    Preston Brown... a run stuffer in a completely different defense and they couldn’t wait to unload him because of the poor fit and his horrendous coverage abilities. Beautiful reference to exemplify the point of misunderstanding this defense.

     

    edmunds like tj watt..  hmm... comparing a 3-4 olb Elite pass rusher to a prototypical McDermott D mlb.. just don’t understand what if any point is to make here. 
     

     these are some optics all right 

     

    also point 1 and 2 are both imo incorrect.
     

    The front four almost religiously are traditional 4 down lineman with a few disguise exceptions.  
     

    I have seen the pattern of trying to drum up arguments as a contrarian before but is it pathological? 

     

    Tremaine Edmunds is a solid starting MLB in the NFL (a pro bowler in fact) and an extremely good Fit in Sean McDermotts defense. Reality has spoken, even if you believe since he is roughly the same weight and height as Calvin Johnson he should play wide receiver... doesn’t mean that’s what he’s good at.

    This op Ought to bring all the negative nancies out of the wood work explain how Klein must not understand McDermotts defense and that Edmunds should br some olb role that doesn’t exist or a dime Will or safety or some other non sense 

     

    Lorenzo Alexender, Edmunds' mentor, would like a word with you...

  3. They need original content that centers around sports. 30 for 30s are good. Although campy, I enjoyed Peyton's Places. NFL Films used to cover seasons of Super Bowl winning teams, not sure if they still do that. Then you have all these professional athletes and ex coaches looking for jobs, where is some real film breakdown? It could even be done per market I'm sure. Plenty of unemployed ex players and coaches that I am sure would be willing to sit down and watch some film. They always do segments but a brief 30 second clip and generic comment about a play or two a game isn't real analysis. I think there are plenty of football nerds who would legitimately watch an hour of film breakdown a week.

    And while the NFL is the most popular, this kind of expansive, in depth coverage could be carried over to hockey, basketball etc. They've gotten so generic and it's a shame, they've got the money to pay people that really know their stuff about a sport, not just a bunch of talking heads spouting off the same opinions you can read on a message board or Facebook.

    Good one!

     

    Any normal, logical person wouldn't automatically assume someone is racist and mysoginistic. It is actually possible to not like someone based on character. It's also possible to not like a politician based on their past record. I'm just curious how her record of locking up non violent drug offenders is going to work in a supposedly "liberal" administration.

    When you look back on trumps presidency him winding the wars and bringing troops home will be great positives.   I’m worried someone will try and test Biden.  The media wanted a trump war so badly and he managed to avoid that.  It’s funny the media promised wars and all Trump did was create Middle East peace deals. 

     

    Maybe it was just dumb luck on his part, I was even kind of surprised that not only did he not start a new conflict, but actively attempted to wind down the ones we were in. Obama said he was going to do that for 8 years and it never even came close to happening. It's a shame that domestically, he couldn't find some of that dumb luck. The economy was looking good before COVID but his spending was anything but fiscally conservative. The "wall" at the border was an absolutely trash idea. Tariffs on wood and other goods may not have hurt American businesses but certainly hurt American consumers. The wife and I were looking to build a house (Prefab) and the cost went up nearly 40% since the last time we had gotten a quote. His Presidency was definitely a mixed bag and in the end, he was just a volatile personality. He was so wrapped up in talking ***** he totally whiffed on running on anything positive that happened during his Presidency.

  6. Trump was the first President in 40 years to not start a new conflict with a foreign country. Hopefully Biden can maintain that and we can go 2 in a row.


    Also, I hope he lives for 4 more years since his running mate wants to start concentration camps for anyone who doesn't think like she does. /s

    It’s interesting that we are fine with boxers/MMA fighters being concussed constantly for their entire career including sparring/training. THEIR money/health ratio is somehow more appropriate  than NFL players with protective gear, concussion protocols, and who are paid more. 

     

    Who's fine with it? Personally I don't think MMA/boxing should exist. It's only legal because they couldn't stop it from happening so at least the guys doing it can be somewhat protected financially etc. In the end it's the participants choice, football, MMA, hockey, whatever.

    Possibly. But it’s kinda hard to say they won’t play better. They might be bad all year, I’m just more in the thinking they’ll improve. Maybe not to the level of years past though. 

     

    The biggest issue I can see is that the interior of the defensive line is under preforming. If you remember last year, they went out and got Jordan Phillips, Vincent Taylor etc. to sure up the interior because last year was just as bad at the beginning of the season. Then they let all those guys walk after fixing the problem and we're back to square one, also minus Star to top it off. This scheme absolutely requires dominant front 4 play to function. That's why they drafted Oliver and now Epenesa. So they see the need, but they want to employ former Panthers and it's blowing up in their faces.

    This is truth for sure. Never knew we had this many members who could so easily predict the future. I missed the part where in seasons past every defense that played bad never got any better during the season without a trade. 

     

    The scheme is the same, the players are different. A trade may not fix it but considering the performance of the same scheme the prior two years, I think it's safe to say we have a personnel problem.

    To some degree I agree with this, but, for instance, some fans called out Sammy Watkins for his lack of production. Well when the Bills declined his 5th year option, isn't that them admitting he can't play as a #1 WR? It's them admitting he isn't a difference maker at that price.

     

    If the Bills go out in offseason and attempt to improve the Tight End position, isn't that proof that the opinion that our Tight Ends are below league average is true?

     

    An average fan can watch games and form opinions. Are they always right? No, but sometimes it bares out that obvious personnel holes are apparent. 

     

    Are the Jets bad, and bereft of offensive talent? Or do we just not understand their players responsibilities?  

     

    I'm still not sure what your beef is? Got yourself all worked up.

    Then why are we even watching the games? 

     

    You can't watch the game and form an opinion of how the team is playing?

     

     

    Maybe you didn't mean to quote me? I just literally said there are only opinions of how the team or players are preforming. No one here can call their overall evaluation fact as some posters are attempting to do.

  12. All cap issues, draft capital etc aside... I would love to see Quinnen Williams on the line next to Oliver. Really, you could put anyone next to him, he's a monster. Jets are misusing him in a 3-4 and the price is a 2nd rounder (allegedly) for a guy who was 3rd overall in 2019. Rookie deal... help where we need it most...
