    Getting Allen & Edmunds in the 1st was arguably the greatest draft in Bills history especially w/ all the wheeling & dealing involved in moving up to acquire those picks. The Allen pick alone was masterful when pretty much the whole NFL knew the Bills were gonna get a QB. Crazy to think that the biggest project guys (Lamar Jackson & Allen) turned out to be the best out of all of them. 

     

     Great 1st round then adding Harrison Phillips, Taron Johnson & Wyatt Teller to the mix later in the draft. This was a really good draft by Beane and company.

    Are you just jealous because I have had sex and you haven't?  It's like warm apple pie...

     

     Yes, I'm very jealous. I now have sp many questions. How do you know what sex is like with warm apple pie? Is it common for you to have sex with your food? Do you eat it afterwards, kinda like a 2 for 1 type deal? Inquiring minds want to know.

     

     I guess my 3 boys show I've had sex at least on 3 occasions, which would be ×3 more than you.😂

    All offseason I've been repeating what Von has been saying, he'll be ready week 1. Now, barring a setback, it's looking like a certainty.

     

     The doctors have told him his knee is fully healed. The rest, as Von states, is the mental hurdle regarding his confidence in the knee.

    Agree with most of this although I don't really put 2020 on him either. I think the Chiefs were better coached in the game, no question (I actually think Spags > Dabes was the biggest coaching mismatch that day) but they were also just a more experienced, more talented team. You can't ignore than in 2020 they showed that in the regular season too. I don't think the Bills were 'ready' to beat the Chiefs that year. In 2021 and since we have been the better team in all 3 H2H meetings IMO.... though only narrowly in the playoff game.... and that is why it was close enough for the coaching blunders at the end to cost us. 

     

     Man @GunnerBill, I was going to post something pretty similar to this. To me, 2020 felt like a natural 1st step towards reaching & winning a Super Bowl. A great breakout season for Josh & the gang, but KC was far more experienced in playing deep into the playoffs. 

     

     2021 is the year where coaching really let this team down. Not just in the loss to the Chiefs, but also during the season. 11-6 against a really easy schedule, filled with bad young QBs. At times the team looked lost and disinterested. All while being relatively health that year. Imo, easily McDermott's and the rest of the coaching staff's worst year since he arrived. 

     

     It still baffles me that we lost in the 2nd round of the playoffs with a QB that had 9 TDs, no Ints and a QB Rating of 148. Not only that, but the offense scored a Td on 75%(12/16) of their drives in the playoffs in 2021. That's an unheard-of rate by an offense in the playoffs.

     Good, Allen deserves all the recognition that's finally coming his way. 

     

     I just saw a stat that was pretty remarkable, not because he was 1st, but because of the lead he had over 2nd place.

     

     Since the start of 2020 Allen has 71 Tds on passes of 10+ air yards. Which is 17 Tds higher than the next closest QB. it also accounts for 65.7% of his total Passing Tds(108) during that span.

     

     Can't wait to see what he can do with all the added help this offseason. If Kincaid can come in and be a viable option out of the slot position, I think we'll see the 2020/1st half of 2021 version of Josh Allen. Rather than what we've seen since Cole Beasley's play took a nosedive(End of October/Beginning of November 2021).

    Personally,  Gronk belongs in the All-time TE conversation in any era..........Kelce almost plays a different position altogether than those other guys.

     

    The 2010 rules changes really had their biggest impact on receiving in the middle of the field.........which is where TE's operate.

     

    Kelce has basically played his entire career with a different set of rules than guys like Gates and Gonzalez played well into the primes of their careers.

     

     Yeah, I'm not debating the rule changes. Sure Kelce has benefited from rule changes, just as Gonzalez & Gates benefited from rule changes when compared to TEs from the 60s, 70s & 80s. Every generation of TE has benefited from the one before it, in that aspect, for the last 3 decades or so. 

     

     Kincaid will benefit over Kelce as his entire career will be played with a minimum of 17 games(Possibly 18 in the future) along with any future rule changes. 

     

     I agree with your comments on Gronk, he's one of, if not, the best of all-time time when talking about the traditional TE position, but much like the QB position, the TE position is starting to include more & more hybrid TEs.

    And Mark Clayton has 10 more TDs than James Lofton.  16 more than Andre Johnson. 
     

    Jimmy Graham has 16 more TDs than Kelce.  
     

    Clayton was clearly inferior to both players. 

    Gates - 236 games  11,800 yards 

    Kelce - 144 games.  10.300 yards 

     

    92 more games- 5.75 more seasons worth of games.  

    Just pointing out the difference in games played.  Gates has less yards than Derrick Mason…. And 6 more games played.

     

    again-  not taking away from Gates- playing in that many games is a tremendous feat in itself.  
     

     

     

     I'm well aware of Antonio's & Travis' career game counts. Matter of fact the top 3 TEs in career yards(Gonzalez, Witten & Gates) all have a minimum of 236 career games. To me Kelce & Gronk are the 2 best TEs of all-time, 1 having 144 career games(Kelce) and the other 143(Gronk). The top 3s best  attribute, to me, is longevity vs impact of the game.

     

     The top 3 combined have (10) 1,000 yard seasons out of the 50 years that they played. Kelce & Gronk combined have (11) 1,000 yard seasons out of the 23 years they've played. While Gronk has less 1,000 yard seasons than Kelce, he was an absolute beast as a blocker and was far more physical than the other 4 TEs I mentioned.

     

     If Kelce can add 3 or 4 more productive seasons and another Lombardi or 2, I think he'll go down as the current best TE to ever play the game.

    Kelce is dominating right now the way Gates never did.  Gates played 16 years, had one 1000 yard season and was a basketball player who understood positioning and leverage just like Kincaid has demonstrated in college.

     

    Kelce has 7 straight 1000 yard seasons and will be a first ballot hall of famer.  His stats will dwarf Gates if they play the same amount of years.  He will exceed Gates yards this year.

     

    To say that Gates is greater than or at the same level than Kelce is misinformed and not supported by the stats.

     

     

    Kelce's stats and play dwarf Gates..they are not at the same level.  Kincaid is similar to Gates with the Basketball background and understanding positioning in leverage.  There has never been a TE like Kelce.  There have been other's like Gates.  

     

     I'm not disagreeing with you that once all is said and done Kelce may indeed show to be the better TE, but Kelce is probably not passing Gates in yardage this season.

     

     In order for that to happen Kelce would need to have more yards this year than in any year of his career so far and do so while turning 34 in early October. Barring injury, a sudden sharp decline in play or a decision to retire after this year, he will most likely pass Gates in 2024.

    They were far more boom or bust in 2022 then the two years prior. 21' they had a blimp but by the end of the season from Bucs game on they were rolling. Last year once they got to the Browns game it felt like Josh was basically elevating the offense single handily but it was never crisp. Teams doubled Diggs and his target options were not there. It is why I like Kincaid and Sheffield as two guys who can eat yardage how Beasley did and give a security blanket Josh needed as last year went on. 

     

     Again stats show a different story. 3rd down percentage 2021- 46.4%, 2022 - 50.26%. Ypg 2021 - 391.7, 2022 - 407.7. 

     

     As for the offense rolling after the Bucs game, up only 10 against a bad Carolina team until a they scored with 2 minutes left to go, played really well against the Pats, then Josh's worst game ever against Atlanta and finally up only 3 with 9 minutes to go against a really bad 4 win Jets team. The team and the offense was not rolling after the Bucs game. They started rolling in the playoffs, but that's all people remember the playoff games.

  10.  

     How was the offense in 2022 less dynamic than 2021? They averaged the same amount of points as 2021, had the best 3rd down percentage of Josh's career and had the most yards per game in team history. It clearly wasn't the same offense as 2021, but it was a better offense than 2021. Josh had slightly better season stats in 2022 also. 

     

     I think people forget just how bad Josh and the offense was after game 7 in 2021. 17 tds, 3 ints through the first 7 games. 19 tds and 12 ints in the final 9 games, including the worst game of his career when he posted a 17 QB Rating against a bad Atlanta team. And all that bad play in 2021 was against a much easier schedule.

    Yes...Josh Allen is better than Jim Kelly, but these Bills are not close enough to comparing better offenses.

     

    Kelly, Thomas, Lofton, Reed, K. Davis, Hull, Ballard and Wolford is much stronger than...

     

    Allen, Diggs...and a few people with potential 

     

     Yet, I believe 1991 was Buffalo's best offense with Kelly & the gang and they fall about 110 yards short of the Bills 2022 offense. I haven't looked at every year, but I believe last year was the most ypg ever by a Bills offense, beating out the 2020 offense by 18 yards for the year.

     

     People act like we didn't excel at moving the ball last year, but the stats don't lie when they encompass an entire year. What we didn't do so well last year was in areas such as redzone turnovers and kicking a bunch of short fgs.

  12.  

     The majority of Josh's runs should come from scrambling with a few designed runs sprinkled in. But he needs to do a better job of getting down or out of bounds.

     

     Obviously there will be big moments in games where you can understand if he does take a hit or two to pick up a 1st down, but there's plenty times he takes defenders on when there's no reason to. One that comes to mind is in the 1st game of 2022 against the Rams. We're up 31-10 when Basham intercepts Stafford. After the return and taunting penalty against us we start inside the Rams 40 with 7 minutes to go in the 4th. Allen runs the ball on 1st down, takes on a couple of defenders at the end of the play and picks up 13 yards.  He could've very easily picked up about 10 yards and got down. Absolutely no reason to invite contact there, the game is already over.

    We're so far away from the original comments.  You're talking offense, how many of those players above were draft picks in rounds 1-3.  Just sayin'.   That's the problem with these threads, they digress and it's impossible to focus on the original statements argued both ways.  

     

     

     

     Ok. Josh, Singletary & Knox were all drafted in the first 3 rounds. All did well in the 2021 playoffs. Also Edmunds was our leading tackler and throw in a sack each by Oliver & Basham.

    Sal was talking about this yesterday.  I was under the impression all along he was a 1 but he was saying he's more of a penetrator.  I'm hoping he plays 1 with us because I think we lack there outside of Jones.

     

     He's a 1 that can also play 3.  

     

     @SCBillsis correct that Pete Carroll said that Ford best playing nose tackle over the ball and they were playing him out of position last year. Greg Cosell agreed he's best playing over the ball. Pete also said they were playing him too many snaps in 2022 and it wore him down by the end of the year.

    Correction, Allen has gotten us 4 playoff wins.  Most of Beane's biggest draft picks that you refer to have flopped come playoff time.  And we have yet to advance beyond the divisional round more than once generally having underachieved.  

     

     

     

     And Josh Allen is a draft pick Beane made, so @Allen2Diggsstatement is still correct.

     

     Was the 2021 playoff loss to the Chiefs Beane’s fault? Allen obviously played lights out that year in the playoffs, but Singletary(3), Knox(2) & Davis(5) combined for 10 of our 12 TDs in those 2 games. All Beane draft picks. Add Doyle's TD into the mix and that's 11 combined TDs in 2 games by players drafted by Beane. Sanders TD against the Pats was the only TD scored by someone not drafted by Beane.

     

     Add to that our top passer, our top 2 rushers and our top 2 receivers in the 2021 playoffs were Beane draft picks.

     

    He's not a perfect GM, but we've made the playoffs for 4 straight years and have a winning record over the last 3 years in the playoffs. Very few teams can say that.

    People say this, but why?  Bills moved the chains better than anyother team in football last year. 

     

     While this statement is not true, it's closer to reality than most takes. The Bills averaged 22.8 first downs per game only trailing the Chiefs(23.8) and the Eagles(23.1).

     

     I don't get it, where were all these takes after the 2021 season? That was statistically the worst offense of the last 3 years and Josh's worst season during that span. I get maybe because of the 2 playoff games, but that was only 2 of the 19 games we played. Aside from the game in Foxboro his last 6 games or so were pretty bad in 2021, including his worst game of his career against Atlanta(17 QB Rating).

     

     In 2022 they averaged as many ppg  as 2021 and out the last 3 seasons, last year's offense had the most yards per game and the highest 3rd down percentage. And that's against the 2020 offense which was pretty damn good. It's also the only season in Josh's career that the offense converted over 50% of their 3rd downs.

     

    Need to cut down on redzone turnovers and short fgs(13 attempts alone from the 30-39 yard range). In terms of moving the ball, we were a top 2 or 3 team last year and I think we'll be, at worst, the 2nd best offense this year with all the added talent on that side of the ball.

    the Bolded part made me think:

     

    if Mahomes is smart (or his handlers are smart and he's smart enuf to listen), then Mahomes should tell his entire family that they only get to live off his Endorsement money. 


    I suspect this would straighten them out.   Since currently, they dont seem to GAF about Pat's image.  Since they probably livin off his guaranteed football $$

     

     No way am I giving that family that much money. Forbes estimated Mahomes made $20 million in endorsements in 2022.

    No it isn't. They didn't even play in a AFC Conference Championship game. 

     

     In 2020? You may want to revisit that season. Apparently you missed some key details from that year. Going 2-1 in a playoff season puts you, at minimum, in the conference championship game.

    Not only that. His 40 time might not be an accurate reflection of his speed.

     

     

     

     Greg Cosell says he plays faster than his 40 time. Also seemed surprised he was drafted that late. Said there no difference in his play vs the DBs drafted in the 4th round.

     Greg Cosell really likes Williams. Says he plays bigger than his weight at the combine(228), where as Bernard he says, actually plays smaller than his weight. Says he's tough, physical, hard hitting LBer, with long arms to shed blockers.

     

     Also sounded shocked that Alex Austin didn't get drafted until the 7th. He said there's no difference in Austin's play vs any DB taken in the 4th round. Some good tidbits on the draft picks and some time also spent talking about Ford's signing.

    Another great Beane interview, can listen to him speak all day.

     

    Nice info re:

    1. Von: sounds like his progression is coming along very well

     

    2. Kincaid: interesting to hear Beane give more details about the discussions with Jax GM, and with Joe Schoen as well. 

     

    3. Josh elbow injury/predraft interviews: it's probably been discussed before, but the initial 1-3 week time frame and jokes about Josh not avoiding contact in the Vikings game, never heard those details.  Then Beane have some great insight into the pre-draft meetings, a bit more than the Rich Eisen interview

     

    4. LB traits: Beane gave some indication (this is how I took it/first I've heard Beane say this), about Tremaines coverage ability.  He raved about Milano matching up against TEs and Rbs, then also discussed what type of LB they ideally have at MLB.  Have to say, Dorian Williams seems to meet alot of the traits he discussed

     

    Great interview by Chris Long too, he does a nice job with the questions/very natural approach 

     

     I was just coming to post this. This is a great listen if people have time. Also asking Beane if he's informed Dorsey  that there's cameras in the booth.😂

     

     Beane, of course, takes it all in stride and starts talking about getting a kick out of all the memes that were created from it.
