LEBills

Sam Darnold is a poor man’s Andy Dalton. Can’t play in prime time, same number and hair color lol

The good news is that the teams with openings this year are crappy situations. Hopefully Brady has learned how important the organization from top down is important to his success as a HC. He was an OC in Carolina before he was here. He has seen what having no QB and a bad owner does to a HCs job security.

The crowd sounds like it’s in minnesota anyway lol

Patrick Surtain is considered the best CB in the league and he was on Cooper every time I noticed Coop

A lot will be made of Josh vs Lamar this week. But Cook outperforming Henry will be the key to a Bills win.

McD had his hat on all game, maybe there was a toupee underneath? We will never know

I think Vrabel is a good coach, but Kraft is an overrated, cheap owner and this isn’t the AFC South where the best QB in the division was Deshaun Watson Vrabels entire tenure. I’d be pretty surprised if they finished ahead of the Bills in the division for as long as Josh is playing, though certainly will be more resistance than recent Pats teams.

Best thing Steelers could do is trade Tomlin like the Saints did with Peyton. Tomlin is a good coach that can beat enough scrub teams to get a winning record, but once they make the playoffs the talent gap is too great. Reset, get a rookie QB and a young head coach and take your lumps in the regular season so hopefully you can start winning in the post season again.

2 seeds are 7-1 (lol cowboys) against 7 seeds all time McDermott is 8-0 coming off a bye (not technically a bye but as close to one as you get) Sean McDermott is 13-4 vs rookie QBs including 2-0 in the playoffs Only 12 rookie QBs all time have won at least 1 playoff game. Ever. and you really have to go back to 2009 to find one (Mark Sanchez) who pulled an upset.( John Wolford gets credited with a playoff win but left the game after 6 passes and Jared Goff led the Rams over the Seahawks. Russ Wilson also beat Washington in the game that RG3 tore up his knee.) The Broncos only beat 1 team that ended the year with a winning record (TB week 3, not counting the Chiefs scrubs). The Broncos were 4-5 on the road. They have scored 21.4 PPG and given up 21.3 PPG on the road. The Bills are 8-0 at home and average 34.3 PPG and allow 17.6 PPG at home The Broncos blitz the 4th highest rate in the NFL (and Vance Joseph defenses are 2-0 against Josh). But this year against the blitz, Josh has 16 TD passes and only one interception, as well as a 123.2 passer rating. Meanwhile, the Broncos offense is ranked 20th in DVOA against zone defenses. Obviously you have to play the game, and that egg shaped ball bounces weird sometimes, but we should feel pretty good going into Sunday.

Sad for Josh who deserves the MVP But if he indeed doesn’t get it, only Mahomes and his contract with the devil has won both MVP and the Super Bowl in the same year since 1999 so I’m a bit relieved there.

If I was Beane and McDermott I would stop giving Dunne access. But he seems to still have ties to players and the org, so I guess they are trying to control the narrative rather than letting him spew whatever deranged words will generate headlines.

Carolina had both Baker and Darnold on their roster at the same time lol Being a good QB is a combination of talent and being in a good organization

yes, especially with no Dawkins

I’d pay him similar to what Saquon got this off season. Cook is very efficient with his touches averaging 5 ypc for his career. He is also just good enough as a receiver to keep the offense multidimensional when he is on the field. He is a bit like Aaron Jones who has been a good back his entire career and has been effective in his year 29 season. Paying him a 4 year contract I think would be good. Additionally, if we are going to make a Super Bowl run this year, it will be on the backs of Josh and Cook - our two best offensive skill players As for the tweet, Dalvins trying to tweet it into existence. Doubt the Bills have approached Cook at all in season about an extension.

Honestly I’m excited to watch all the young guys play, feels kinda like preseason. Javon Soloman though is #1 for me. Haven’t been able to focus on his limited snaps over the past weeks. Against a bad Pats OL I think he could have great day.

One of the happiest days of my life. Here is an excellent long form video by Secret Base which is a great sports YouTube channel. It dives into how the Ravens and Bengals got to that moment, the long shot odds of the 4th and 12 play happening and at about 13 minutes in the aftermath that ensued for the Bills, fans, and charities.

Quintin Morris doesn’t get many touchdowns but all of them are bangers including this one this year

Yea a bengals, ravens, chiefs gauntlet would be hard to overcome. Though the Bengals are still long shots to get that 7 seed, especially now that the Broncos will likely get some Chiefs backups in week 18.

Our top receiver is Shakir who averages 57 yards per game Cooper is 4th on the team at 34 yards per game We have 10 players who average over 12 yards receiving per game The offense spreads the ball around a ton. As long as Cooper makes splash plays like he did vs KC it was a great investment. As for upcoming years, I agree I would not pay a ton of money for him but would welcome him back at like a Samuel level contract.

I’ve seen enough bumped Josh Allen elbows this year that I will be very happy if we know the two seed is set for us on Wednesday and we can rest any starters we want against the scrub jets and pats. One seed would be the best but getting two weeks off and the two seed sounds good too.

All epic teams, Josh should be MVP, hopefully we will be the first of this list to win a Super Bowl

Greatest QB talent ever.

Detroit is pretty good lol

Yea it’ll be a Dline heavy draft. Luckily it’s going to be stacked at that position so need and value will meet. Might see 2 out of the top 3 picks at DL. maybe they go after a BJ Hill or a DJ Jones in FA too. Miller will def be gone, I think DQ will too. AJE and Milano will be back for one more year. And Oliver and Groot definitely will be. back. Hopefully we don’t spend a ton of money or a high pick on a CB or another safety since we seem to get the best value out of those positions. DLine, protect Josh and get Josh weapons this year and every year please

I certainly like McD the person and have appreciated what he has built. 7 years of excellent football has been a joy…until January. McD has always been a culture guy but I think one area he lacked a united vision is with his coordinators. Leslie was older and had more experience than McD, they have a similar D philosophy but I think McD left things to Frazier too much. On offense, I think he was a bit lost with where to go with it when he got the job as a defensive guy. So he gave Dennison try then stumbled onto Daboll where they had a lot of success. But McD always seemed to want to have a more balanced offense and Daboll didn’t. We have seen how much the two liked each other. Now with Babich and Brady (after detouring to just not a good OC in Dorsey), McD has coordinators that he can dictate his vision better to. I think that is just making the talent that was acquired by Beane with McDs vision in mind now work better on the field than past versions of the Bills. And I think you see that harmony and joy in the way players talk about this team and how loose McD has been lately (snow angels?!) In the end, McD will be remembered either as a Super Bowl champ or the guy who wasted Joshs prime. But I do think this is the version of the team that can do it. If they don’t get out of the divisional round, I will be shocked. If that’s the case a change would be necessary. Because if I believe the best version of the McD Bills is this and we fall short, we have to try something different…
