People weren't sure Diggs was better than Adam Thielen before he came to Buffalo

Yes

And hit diggs over the middle on one of the craziest throws of the season for the win It's the nature of the position Talking about lions game

Jamarr Chase missed like 5 games this year due to injury

also can we comment on how ***** enormous mike mccarthy is

And Sean McDermott is probably a nobody without Allen

Checks are still called run plays

tbh I don't care if what it looks like, just that it doesn't fall apart in big games

Rivera got the riverboat nickname for his aggressive tendencies on 4th down calls decisions on offense which McDermott has definitely internalized. It wasn't so much aggressive calls on defense iirc. Of course we know who was ultimately responsible for the 13 seconds- McDermott.

Tomlin looks like he means business

it's rhetorical

amateur psychoanalysis notwithstanding this is simply not how NFL QBs think

tf is 'running out of frustration'? Like 'oh my line can't block, that's pretty frustrating?'

Has anyone come up w an answer for why McDermott, defensive mind non pareil, allowed Frazier to mismanage his side of the ball for 5 years until finally stepping in?

This. No reason he shouldn't be at or very the top of the QB salary heap. NFL economics101

Fine me one single book that doesn't have the Bills as favorites to win the division

We had a couple wild ones around the house I grew up in Insufferable screeching for sure

Yes it's a decent comparison But Bene Benwikere wasn't so much around the LOS as Taron Johnson iirc, he was more of a cover nickel thus his nickname big play Bene

No I wouldn't call them the same at all, couldn't tell you whether that was due to scheme preference or personnel (likely both) My brother is a panthers fan and we used to watch bills and panthers games together every weekend

I watched the McDermott defense in Carolina and my impressions: -dline was similarly constructed (lot of combo 1T/3T, in those days Kwaan Short and Lotulelei) and utilized edge guys who could set much like we do - LBs played more downhill w eyes in backfield a lot more but to be fair they had one of the best of all time in Kuechly and Davis in a similar role to Milano who was excellent and way underrated as an NFL player imo. Still saw a fair amount of deep Tampa2 drops from MLB slot -Norman in his prime was probably a better man guy than White but they'd mix his coverages up like they do here -Safeties played more vanilla w fewer rotations pre and post snap because they were playing guys like Tre Boston, back end of McDermott's Bills iteration is far superior which should be no surprise due to much better talent overall the defenses looked similar but certainly not the same

Correct higher ADOT will correlate w lower catch% (or comp% from QB perspective) however concerns re: Davis' limited route tree, overall physicality, and untimely drops in the #2 role are valid imo

Allen averaged less than 1 rush attempt/game more w Dorsey, that's just noise imo

One time I forgot to do my chores my dad wrote an op ed in the local paper

Because everybody knows effective parenting is getting your point across to your kids through the media

This is the point I am trying to make, maybe I'm not making it well If McDermott wants to call a more aggressive defense then by definition Frazier was calling it inadequately
