We have not drafted enough high end talent.
Edmunds rd 1
Basham rd 2
Epenesa rd 2
Ford rd 2
Moss rd 3
Oliver rd 1
Rousseau rd 1
Have all underperformed their draft statuses thus far IMO. Especially Ford and Moss.
I expect more from Edmunds, Oliver, and Rousseau given their rd 1 status.
On the flip side, Allen, Taron Johnson, Davis, Milano, and Teller all outperformed their draft slots by a considerable margin.

2nd to last game in 2011 vs the Broncos on Christmas Eve: The Bills had just lost like 8 in a row and this was during the height of Tebow mania. I thought for sure it'd be a loss. On the old BBMB fans were joking it'd be a Rocky 4 like scene: Our people cheer for him!!!
But very surprisingly to me the Bills completely dominated that day. Tim was awful
Last game of the year in 2012 against the Jets. A very very disappointing season in my eyes. But still seeing the Bills beat the Jets at home on the final game felt good. Jets had beat the Bills 6 in a row prior. I still remember CJ Spiller on a 3d and 13 taking it to the house. He could fly!!!!
Memorable in that it was Chan and Fitz's last Bill game
I was going to post about that game, it was my first bills game that I attended.

If hockey was a major sport, I might agree with Gretzky... but it isn't. Might as well ask who was the most dominant Spelling Bee champion.
Looks like Somebody doesn’t like hockey and then decided it wasn’t a sport because of that…
hockey is a major sport, and it has been since the 70s at least. It’s why in American sports there’s considered “the big four” of MLB, NHL, NBA and the NFL.

Babe Ruth is the most dominant professional athlete in major American sports history. When he hit 54 homers in the 1920, the next best guy - a star in his own right - only hit 19. Babe was hitting at another level: a staggering 184% better than the next greatest long ball hitter that year. The next year, the story was pretty much the same: Babe was 146% better than the next biggest star.
But what about football? The NFL doesn't have a Babe Ruth. Brady is great because he's been one of the top 5 QBs in the league since our own star QB, Josh Allen, was in kindergarten. Yet Brady was never - statistically anyway - far and away the best QB in the league in any particular season. Not the same way Babe was.
There are, though, two NFL players who do come to mind when I think about dominance. You've got to go back a few years back to the time when the best athletes became RBs and defenses were designed to stop & destroy those backs. In 1973, OJ had 75% more yards than the next best RB. Ten years earlier, Jim Brown had 70% more yards than the #2 guy. Both these guys were transcendent, mind-boggling talents.
In Brady's most dominant season, 2007, he only finished with 8.7% yards more than the next best guy. Brady might be the GOAT. But in their prime, OJ and Jim Brown were more dominant.
Gretzky is more dominant IMO. Gretzky has the most goals and most assists in NHL history. His assist totals alone (1963) beat out the closest competitor in goals and assists combined (Jagr, 1921). His point total (2857) is 149% higher than the second highest of all time. Gretzky also has 4 of the 5 most points in a postseason (1,3,4,5), as well as another in the top 10 and another tied for 11th. He also had the top 4 regular season point totals, as well as 9 of the top 11 in NHL history. He dominated for a much longer period of time than Babe Ruth.

The Browns overwhelmingly winning every category tells me one thing, strong analytics don't work 😄
Maybe they need analytics on their use of analytics 😂.
I honestly think analytics has a more impactful place in other sports like Hockey where each player has more of a role, and you can derive possession numbers, transition numbers, etc. I feel like in football the eye test is a bit more effective/prominent, but there certainly is room for analytics as a tool for evaluation.

Receivers are only as good as the guy throwing the ball.
Lets see how good Adams is with Carr instead of Rodgers.
Lets see how good Hill is with Tua instead of Mahomes.
I guarantee those guys will see a dip in production. Chase is impressive and he has the QB but lets see him do it more than just one season.
Now Jefferson is scary. Cousins is not a scrub but he's not elite either and Jefferson would probably top 2k with someone like Josh, Mahomes or ARod.
John Brown with Allen= Career year.
Diggs with Allen= Career year.
Beasley with Allen= Career year.
Kupp with Stafford= Career year.
See what I'm getting at? To me its,
Adams
Hopkins
Diggs
Hill
Kupp
Jefferson
Chase
JMHO of course....
I do think Kupp is too low on your list, he had over 300 more yards than the next closest receiver last year.

What was the lowball offer?
MVP was 3 years ago. He's gotten this team to the playoffs 3 times. 1 win.
49ers have been letting Jimmy G twist in the wind and he's won 69% off his starts and gotten them to 2 SB's in 3 years....
Jimmy G has only been to one super bowl, not sure where the second has came from, the last 2 NFC teams were the bucs and the rams.

Midget scrub player in the NFL, scrub assistant coach.
Likely isn’t a scrub assistant coach if he keeps getting interviewed for head coaching jobs, just not good enough to be a head coach if he keeps getting rejected.

I think if you’re sticking to the offensive side of the ball, it might be Qb-Wr-Te
of some of the recent super bowl teams:
Brady-Gronk-welker (or whichever other good pats receiver at the time)
Brady-Gronk-Evans (or Godwin)
Mahomes-Kelce-Hill
Garropolo-Kittle-Deebo (Although Garropolo is nowhere near elite)

Lost a lot of credibility when he said McKenzie didn’t have special team ability

Argue with yourself all day about woulda, shoulda, coulda. They didn’t score again and their QB was knocked out of the game. #Facts
Neither did the bills though. Taron Johnson doesn’t make that interception it likely becomes 10-10. If you’re making that argument, why would you include the ‘93 game vs. the Dolphins where the bills won 29-10. A pick 6 is a potential 14 point swing, and by that woulda coulda shoulda logic that interception had no outcome on the game.

Oh, yee of little knowledge.. smfh 🤦♂️
-12/24/64 Chargers @ Bills AFL Title game. SD shreds Bills on an all too easy quick TD Drive to start the game. We punt. SD begins shedding us again until.. Rote tries a swing pass to Lincoln in the flat. Enter Mike Stratton. Exit San Diego Chargers.
-12/26/65 Bills @ Chargers AFL revenge Title game. Closely fought battle until Butch Byrd returns punt 75 yards for a TD. Bills Defense knocks out SD QB and the Chargers for Back to Back Championships.
-12/31/80 In a ‘win and in’ finale, Bills Defense knocks down Joe Montana Hail Mary to defeat the 49ers and give Bills 1st Eastern Division Championship since ‘65.
-12/27/81 After blowing out the Jets early on, Jets came storming back and reached the 5 yard line with seconds to play to win. Jeff Nixon intercepted Todd to preserve WC Victory.
-1/2/92 In what is thought to be the best Defensive Playoff game in Championship history, Jeff Wright and Carlton Bailey sniffed out Elway’s attempt at a center screen with Bailey intercepting and returning for a TD in a 10-7 Title Game win.
-1/17/93 After 4 straight AFCE Titles, the Dolphins wrested the Division from Buffalo and were at home for the AFC Title Game, with Marino’s last real chance to return to the Super Bowl. Until.. an ill-fated sideline throw was batted up and intercepted by Phil Hanson. Bills would quickly score to put the game out of reach, winning 29-10.
These are mostly title games. There are many more single game heroics including coming back from 2 scores down with under 2 minutes to beat Miami on a Kelly keeper on the final play.
was Taron’s INT TD Return a huge play? Absolutely. Was it the winning play? No. Win/preserve a title? No. Franchise Greatest play? No. Merely among them.
I get it, though. With a city whose claims to sports fame are ALL disastrous, we’ll grasp at anything that isn’t.
-Johnny Robinson’s 75 yard INT
-Bernie Parent
-JoJo White Fantom Foul with no time on the clock
-Fouts to Smith
-Wide Right
-Reed throws helmet
-Thurman loses helmet
-Thurman fumble
-No Goal
-13 seconds
🤦♂️🤷♂️
He did say one of the franchises greatest plays, and that I agree with. I realize I am a younger fan, but the AFL championships really do not mean as much to me. Being the best of 10 teams is less impressive to me then winning the AFC title game (and being the best of 16 teams). Not saying the plays aren’t among the franchise’s greatest (couldn’t really comment on that because I was not around for it).
I would argue that the Taron pick 6 was the game winning play. Bills were up 10-3, but the Ravens offense was the best it had looked all night and were in the red zone threatening to tie the game up. The pick 6 ended that and gave the bills all the momentum, winning the game. Could the Bills have won without that play? Yes. Would they have? Very hard to say, they would have lost the momentum and very likely would have been in a tie game entering the fourth quarter, which would have been anyones game.-

I really don’t get why people blame crowd noise at home for why Josh has slightly better stats on the road. I’m positive that Josh faces louder crowds when he is on the field on the road than at home, when fans generally try to quiet down and let the offense do their thing.

I think much of the paranoia comes from years of getting important teams when they have off byes/extended days off. This year has turned that on its head a bit.
But doesn't it seem like the Bills play the Titans every freaking year, lately?
That happens when the bills and titans win their division, they are guranteed to play each other.

why would Baltimore draft the 2nd best punter 50 positions earlier than Araiza and Tampa Bay the 3rd best punter 47 spots earlier?
Araiza may have the strongest leg, but lacks holding experience which I guess they may have valued more.

Sounds like he could be used in 6 man OL sets, like we used Doyle last year.

He LED a team to 2 rings? What? He hopped on the bus of one of the greatest teams in history that was already on the way to winning multiple championships. And you said I had a wild take, lol. The Warriors were already great before him
The warriors were a very good team before KD, but you are selling him short. He won Finals MVP in both years that he was there. KD put that team over the top, he didn’t just hop on the bus, he was helping drive the bus.

At times the roster is up to 90 players to be fair.

^ I like it a lot. I would prefer to snag a guard a little earlier, but that would be my only complaint, the rest looks great.

That defensive line really did a good job on offense. Crazy how they scored the second highest amount of points and the fourth most yards all while playing no offensive snaps.
That's some DL

You're right, that offense clearly didn't need the defense to make the superbowl. Allowing the 2nd least yards in the league clearly didnt help them make the playoffs or the superbowl. Jimmy G is just so good the rest of his team doesnt matter clearly.

Jimmy G is mediocre at best and has been to a super bowl and NFC championship in the offense the Dolphins are gonna run.
Jimmy G also had the benefit of the best DLine in the league during his Super Bowl run, the Dolphins don’t have that.
