Sammy Watkins' Rib

he has a $60 million cap hit next season. 3rd highest in the league. That could be reason to do an extension. To open up cap room for players like you mention.

yikes

hard for me to wrap my mind around Allen’s passing yards being so low. That’s 220 ypg average. maybe Vegas thinks he finally misses a game or two to injury this year? He’d probably have to miss at least two games to injury to not have more than 3,750 yards. last year was his lowest average since 2019 and he was still at 253ypg

they’ll be looking for a new QB in a couple years after Tua extends his record against winning teams to like 5-26 with no division titles or playoffs wins.

great detective work by you Fire Chans. Go ahead and provide the data to support your claims. You can’t require it from others while giving yourself a pass.

umm, yes. you haven’t given us the actual facts on this. And now you say you can’t seem to find them. not that it matters because we all know teams fail to win more often when they trail. but you mocked @BillsFan130 for not proving data when they actually did so it would be nice if you could actually give us the hard numbers.

I don’t quite understand why @FireChans is choosing to die on this hill. As @GoBills808 pointed out, it is statistically unlikely to win a game you trail in the 4th quarter. Likewise, statistically unlikely to lose a game you lead in the 4the quarter. Breaking news, Bills have few wins when they trail to start the 4th quarter! Fire Chans logic= Allen overrated Breaking now as well, Bills have few losses when they lead entering the 4th quarter! Fire Chans logic= McD underrated

key words “if things were equal”

so many, as in like a handful of Bills fans? can’t answer your question since it is not grounded in reality. This thread is about Allen bro g overrated or not. Not, whether he is better than Mahomes.

My requirement for selecting a WR in this past draft was either elite speed or elite size. I would have been happy with Worthy or Coleman. I think Beane saw it similarly too, hence the trading back and being happy with whoever was left.

I'm not high on McCarthy, but I also though Stroud would suck. Never big on the QB's that come from the schools with the most talent. It does feel to me though that McCarthy is closer to a mobile Mac Jones than he is CJ Stroud. With the right team, McCarthy could have some immediate success similar to Mark Sanchez. But I don't see him being a 15 year franchise QB that lasts in this league.

I'd be surprised if many are given McD and the defense a pass. Everyone knows they are the main culprit holding the Bills back in the postseason. With regards to the offense in total, while yes, no one player besides Allen has stepped up consistently, the offense has for the most part has been consistently good or matched or bettered their regular season output with the exception of the Bengals game. In all three postseason games against the Chiefs, the Bills scored more points than they did in the regular season Bills vs Chiefs match ups. If the defense just plays to their regular season standard in one out of the those three games the Bills likely have a Super Bowl appearance. I think that is in part why the individual inconsistencies of the offensive personnel are overlooked. The Bills are still putting up points making those inconsistences a moot point. But it is a glaring issue when your #1 all pro WR consistently does nothing in the biggest games.

That's true. A player of Diggs salary and talent level has to show up more than 20% of the time in combined divisional/conference championship games. He's had one good game out of 5 and that was the Ravens game, his very first divisional/cc game with the Bills. He was 0-4 after that.

70% of Hurts rushing TD’s (29 out of 41 total)are 3 or fewer yards Only 50% of Allen’s rushing/receiving TD’s (27 out of 54 total) are 3 or fewer yards. Furthermore, 28% (15) of Allen’s rushing/receiving TD’s are from 10+ yards out. Only 21% (6) of Hurts total are from 10+ yards out. Allen’s rushing TD’s have always had greater degree of difficulty. I could only find stats for 3 yards or less but I would venture a good guess that 70% of Hurts TD’s that are 3 yards are less are from one yard or closer. Allen’s probably closer to 50% with just as many scores from 2-3 yards. The Bills did start to heavily turn to the tush push when Brady took over but the Eagles have been doing it for two full seasons now at least.

Diggs had a very similar decline in production in the final seven games of the 2022 season under Dorsey as well. In fact, in all four of his seasons with the Bills, Diggs always had a lower ypr in the finals seven games first the first 8 or 9 games of the season. 2022 First 9 games (Dorsey): 13.68ypr, 72.7 catch % 109 ypg 2022 Final 7 games (Dorsey): 12.33 ypr, 65.5 catch% 63 ypg (46ypg decrease) 2023 First 10 games (Dorsey): 11.89 ypr, 71.6 catch %, 87ypg 2023 Final 7 games (Brady): 9.26 ypr, 58.6 catch %, 45 ypg (42ypg decrease) Diggs playoff track record is also not great. He had good games against a lot of the wild card teams. But it is very much true that he's been a total no show in all four of the Bills playoff exits to the Chiefs and Bengals. Diggs, numbers against Kansas City in both the regular and post season games are mind boggling bad. In the combined 7 games since 2020 he has had one good game which came in the 2022 regular season game: 10 receptions on 13 targets 148 yards and a TD The other six games he was held to under 30 yards in 3 out of the six. He had 77, 69 and 46 yards in the other 3 games.
