I mean if Lamar Jackson had a Tyrod Taylor game and they still won by 24 points, that seems pretty dominant to me.

Gotta go through 5 steps to get cleared. 1. Symptom limited activity (stretching/balancing ususally) 2. Aerobic exercise 3. Football specific exercise (strength training, mimicking sport specific activities) 4. club based non contact drills (no contact jersey, but can do most else) 5. Full football clearance (needs independent Neurological consultant’s approval)

I think Klein can step up into that MLB role and be serviceable if we need him to be. I am worried about covering Kelce with Taron down and the lb injuries.

I don’t know, I think what Tomlin has done well with the team he’s been given. Since 2019, the QBs have been Mason Rudolph (bad), Duck Hodges(also bad), an Ancient Big Ben (who rarely threw more than 10 yards downfield), Kenny Picket (mediocre at best), and a little bit of mitchel trubisky(somehow worse). That’s a drought era level of Qb play. Somehow Tomlin got his team into the playoffs 3 of the last 4 years.

And is that wrong?

Yes, but If the bills/Steelers met in the divisional round, the winner of that game has a roughly 50% shot at making the Super Bowl, just as he said. And like @strive_for_five_guy said, the odds that would happen 3 times in a row would be (.5*.5*.5) which is 12.5%. @Beast Of course that assumes the two conference championship teams have the same chance of winning, however reality is slightly different.

Anything short of making the conference finals and McDermott should be out. Losing to the Steelers would be an embarrassment and would be an offense worthy of termination. Our most likely opponent in the second round is the Chiefs, and losing to them a 3rd time in the playoffs in 4 years would not give me confidence McDermott could take us to the Super Bowl. Similarly, losing to a QB out of retirement or a rookie QB in the playoffs would not bring confidence, and would make me want to look for better options.

You mean the defendant? Err… I mean defender?

Making the first down would give us a more certain victory than the 10 point lead would.

Because all their focus should be on beating the Dolphins, do that and these games don’t matter

If the Bills games follow this, and they beat the Pats, but lose to the Dolphins, the odds the other 6 games fall like this is about 4%. While it’s possible, it’s not very realistic.

Couple things to take into account here: You’re comparing receivers groups based on their total yards/TDs, but not factoring in the effect of the QBs throwing the ball. IMO, Cinci and Miami definitely have better WR groups. And if we’re going based on yards, Texans also have a better WR group. And as for Kincaid, he’s not the best yet. Kelce is still clearly better right now, and Evan Engram and Mark Andrews have both outperformed him so far. (Kincaid is 13th in yards and tied at 20-33 for TDs)

Wow

2010 Chargers had the #1 offense and defense (in yards gained/allowed) in the league… only to miss the playoffs

Don’t see why Josh’s salary is such a big part of this. Josh is the 9th highest paid QB in the League this year, with players such as Russel Wilson, Deshuan Watson and Kyler Murray being paid more, and Guys like Daniel Jones right behind (40 mil average instead of 43). As that contract gets older, more QBs will be paid more. As it is right now, Josh has been giving good value for that contract, leading the league in total TDs (by 5), and 3rd in passing yards. Cut down on the turnovers and he’d be the best in the league, as it is, he’s still playing as a top 10 QB for sure, which fits his salary.

People are just frustrated after seeing 3 TDs in 2 weeks when they’re used to seeing 30 points a game

You’re forgetting the run up the middle from shotgun, they used that for the other half of the plays.

Maybe he doesn’t think he can get there between this season and next as is, and with Kraft’s approval is throwing this season to get an actual Qb, instead of being mediocre this season and next and subsequently losing his job.

No, I havent

While I don’t have air yards per attempt, Josh had a higher yard per completion last year, by almost a yard. The difference in yards per attempt is largely due to the increase in completion %, which probably comes from throwing shorter a bit more, as well as better options for that.

What makes it even more interesting is that his replacement who few had high hopes for has already matched Edmunds single season sack and interception records, and is on pace to break his tackle record as well.

Pretty sure the biggest problem last year was not being able to run the ball. So far that has been better than last year.

You realize that if the Bills make the Super Bowl, you have to take the flight or we lose, right?

Have to do it every once in a while, if we only use him for outside runs and screen plays, it’ll become a tell and he will be less effective.

There is no way that adding Tre Lance improves the ceiling of this team. The ceiling of this team requires a healthy Josh Allen, in which case Tre wouldn’t play.
