I’d love to see any documented proof prior to today that you liked how Trump avoided rash military action.

Deshaun Watson has had 5 GWD this year. And last year. I don’t think it’s really subjective. This question is as close to objectively obvious as you can get in football. It’s Watson. Anyone who disagrees is kidding themselves.

The Chargers offense actually got a little worse in PPG from 2016 to 2017. The Chargers defense however went from 29th in the NFL in points allowed to 3rd. That’s almost certainly more responsible for their turnaround. I asked why you believe Lynn’s offense is less complicated than Daboll’s, and you can only say that Bills players say the Bills’ is complex. How do you know the Chargers’ players don’t feel the same way about their system? You don’t have to prove anything to anyone, but it is telling that you are struggling to substantiatively defend your opinion.

I didn’t compare Lynn to Rex Ryan. I compared simplifying our system to basically eroding the point of the system. Yes, Lynn has won with the Chargers. That doesn’t prove ANYTHING about his ability to develop an offensive scheme. That’s not his job as an HC in LA, and it wasn’t his job as an OC or RB coach for the Bills. What evidence do you have that the scheme in LA is less complicated than the one in Buffalo? Furthermore, what evidence do you have that THAT is the reason it is more productive, and not the fact that Allen, Rivers, and Gordon were better than their Bills counterparts prior to this last season? Wade is a perfect example of how the NFL works. He’s gotten fired as an HC a bunch of times but continues to get coordinator jobs because he’s got a reputation as a heck of a coordinator. If a guy like Nate Hackett got an HC offer after a great 2017, he’d have been crazy to pass it up.

Who has Lynn developed as a QB that makes him qualified for that job? You know he was an RB coach, right? You know he’s never even developed an offense before, right? He doesn’t get to keep Daboll’s playbook either lol. And it wouldn’t make sense to keep Daboll’s EP system with multiple checks and then use it as a “uncomplicated passing scheme.” Those are opposite things. It’s like saying let’s take Rex Ryan’s defense, and get rid of the exotic disguises and blitzes.

There sure are, but I don’t know a lot of fired coordinators who eventually got the HC tap. I’m sure there’s been a couple but that position gets turned over quite a bit. Not to mention, coordinators who become HC’s because of their success at coordinator but get fired usually maintain their rep as a good, or at least employable coordinator. Leslie Frazier, Norv Turner, etc.

If Allen is #6th in least amount, wouldn’t a higher number be better? But in distance per throw a lower number? Not sure if the math holds up here. Obviously there are lots of factors that affect offensive output, I just found it interesting that you also cherry picked a stat in an attempt to argue against a cherry picked stat.

Now do total offensive touchdowns, unless only TD’s by QB’s count towards wins and losses.

Great post. Everybody talks about coordinators not going to teams in turmoil like the Browns, but that’s overblown. HC opportunities dry up for guys a lot earlier that coordinator jobs. If I’m Daboll and the Browns offer me the job, I take it. Worst comes to worst, you get fired after 2-3 years and have a $15M windfall. Then you get a BS job somewhere as a TE coach and a year later you’re an OC again. If he passes on an HC job and Allen regresses, or the offense sucks harder, and he gets fired as a coordinator, he may not get another HC offer again. Fired HC’s get coordinator jobs. Fired coordinators don’t often become HC’s. Dorsey would probably be the one tapped, IMO. We may even see offensive improvement if he’s a better playcaller.

Yes, the old “change position and become an All-Pro” trick. It’s worked well in the past for players like Cyrus Kujo, Greg Robinson, and Jake Fisher.

Lynn won’t be bringing Roman’s playbook or Pro Bowlers with him. Hard pass.

Josh Allen gas leak strikes again.

This year is an anomaly. Passing yards matter.

2 of the top 4 passers in yards last year were the #1 seed in the AFC and the NFC representative in the Super Bowl last year. This is why you don’t look at one year and make sweeping claims.

Did they rank him 15th this week or before? The writer dude said “fell just short.”

But the point remains. It doesn’t matter if you have lesser production because you played less snaps. Sacks per snap, or yards per snap, or catches per snap are not and never have been the criterion for individual awards. If a WR only plays 10 games, puts up 1000 yards and 8 TD’s, and another WR plays 16 games, puts up 1400 yards and 11 TD’s, WR #2 will be the one who has a better case for a WR award, regardless of “less production per snap.” That’s just how it is.

And that doesn’t matter. There’s someone out out there right now who is averaging a sack every ten snaps because they haven’t played that much this season. That person isn’t an All-Pro either. Wait what? Targeted 6x per game and 42 YPG allowed so he allowed 7 yards per target? How does that rank with other #1 CB’s (who also go up against #1 WRs all the time)?

Is that supposed to help your argument? That he doesn’t get on the field as much? It’s an award based on the players’ performance on the field. Not being on the field HARMS their argument.

They actually aren’t all that similar outside of sacks. Aaron Donald QB hits - 24 Jordan Phillips QB hits - 16 Donald sacks - 13.5 Phillips sacks - 9.5 AD TFLs - 20 JP TFLs - 13 Not really “very similar” at all.

He wrote “just short” so I imagine he was extremely close. In that case, this isn’t that big of a deal.

Who were your obvious snubs besides Tre White? Let me go one step further. Who, besides Tre, on the Bills defense has a CASE for an All Pro selection by the AP this year?

Boy do I have news for you

I wouldn’t. It’s simple math. If they send 7, they only have 4 in coverage. You go empty. You motion the RB out. Now you have 4 on 5 and you can find the open guy. “Max protection” means that TE’s or RB’s are blocking edge rushers which is really really dumb. And you give away the game of numbers. You end up with 3 receivers and 4 defenders. Stuff like this is so simple. It’s actually scary how many coaches don’t get it.

That dude doesn’t say max protect 7 if they send 7.

Talk about letting the defense dictate what you’re doing.
