You're not swapping rosters w the Bengals over the last 3 years foh w this

Yes it's a tidy story but I'm not entirely sure it's true they chalk up the early EPA returns under Dorsey by saying 'well the Bills are anomalous' and then similarly fail to account for the decline in EPA under Brady which corresponded w more wins. It's not meant to be entirely predictive but the difference in actual scoring between the two offenses was <1 ppg...is that enough to account for such a dramatic difference in win/loss%? I would say almost certainly not I maintained then and still do that the metrics supported the idea that the offense would find itself through the midseason lull v Giants-Broncos (roughly)...these guys seem content to chalk up the difference in it's entirety to playcalling differences in certain key areas between the respective OCs and I think that's too convenient

Known Chiefs troll disagreeing w you=argument won

basically said they were farming EPA under Dorsey by staying ahead of schedule due to explosive plays in traditionally tough down/distance situations and that it flipped under Brady due to willingness to run the ball on early downs between the 30s...more (slightly) scoring lower EPA

...

This is literally what you wrote never mind he was 1st in value over avg, 1st in CPOE, 3rd in success%, 1st by a mile in ELO, 3rd in EPA, 2nd in win%added @FireChanscome get your boy he's lost

Yeah I'd say it's about as disingenuous as touting our regular season record as proof of good coaching and our playoff record as proof of bad GMing

I don't see why this is so controversial Unless you're arguing that the lack of postseason success is because of Allen (good luck w that), or that a roster that dominates the regular season but mysteriously falls apart in the playoffs is somehow Beane's fault (tenuous)...what are we realistically left to look at

Solid B for me Got the most important position right...some misses in the draft (w not insignificant -ev capital investment at RB) and a few questionable contracts but reasonable pro personnel moves and seems to have a decent feel for finding late round contributors particularly at wideout Would be interested to see how he'd fare w a staff that prioritized offense

You think Allen was the 9th best QB in the league last year? Seriously?

You think the Bengals third string interior OL is better than Ed Oliver? You honestly believe Joe Mixon is actually a 5ypc guy when he averaged 3.8 in the regular season?

I think the Bengals are a perfect example of getting more out of less I certainly don't think they have a better roster than us. Allen is better than Burrow, their wideouts are great but outside that I wouldn't swap rosters over the last 3 seasons.

Look at the comment above this one^^ You have a guy who legitimately blames the GM for players losing one-on-one battles in the playoffs I give up. If this is truly your take there is no scenario where we can find fault w coaching.

So McDermott developed all those guys but Oliver's failure belongs to Beane? How does this even make sense Beane found Allen. What's McDermott's equivalent success?

So your contention is that these divisional round exits have been...McDermott overperforming...w bad rosters? I think that's borderline laughable I give him a lot of credit for having spectacular regular season results. Postseason when it counts the team outside QB plays well below expectations

Man at some point you have to figure it out Oliver is a top10 pick at DT. Make it work ffs Rousseau is a first round pick w all the tools. If you can't develop him into some kind of effective pass rusher then what good are you? Ditto Epenesa but less so

So many ways to refute this but I'd start by asking if your argument is that the only avenue to perform at expectation is your relative roster strength, because it seems to follow then that your HC doesn't matter/isn't very good ...except we know that teams do in fact beat other more talented/better rostered teams all the time. We saw it last year when the Chiefs beat the Niners and Ravens....or when the Bucs beat the Eagles...or when the Packers beat the Cowboys...also the year before when the Chiefs beat the Eagles in the Super bowl, or the year before that when the Bengals beat the Chiefs in the acfcg. Happens all the time If you prefer to say our coaching is capped by the strength of our roster knock yourself out. I just don't see how that's anything but an admission we have an entirely disposable staff

Never understood that nickname tbh He's never been in the top10 of fg% Bass is an objectively mediocre placekicker

No I don't because like I said, I see very little of his influence on the Buffalo Bills roster and operations I think he has pretty much given Beane and McDermott the greenlight to do whatever they want

I think the fortunes of this team have very little to do w Pegula's influence on roster

keni-h lovely cannot be a real person

^^Guaranteed these people at this exact same time last year were saying Diggs throwing a fit and storming out was no big deal and meant nothing 100% guarantee it

His most significant injury occured out of the pocket tackling a guy who picked him off. It's very well known. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/cam-newton-says-2016-shoulder-injury-affected-him-for-years

'im not trying to gaslight you here' is priceless lmfaoo😂😂😂 you win

Actually at the time of this post only four people have agreed with you. 10 people gave you thumbs up and 75% of those are just because they saw a lot of words and assumed you had made a salient point. Six people gave you the beer emoji because they're either drunk or trying to catfish you. The rest disagree.
