Never heard of them😂😂

this is what the buffalo rumblings folks think https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2024/5/22/24065977/what-if-josh-allen-quarterbacked-the-marrone-and-ryan-eras

yeah exactly I don't think this is the kind of roster or staff that can finesse their way to a championship. I truly don't and I believe the results thus far (esp your bolded) back that up 100%. I think they like to believe they can and that's where all the talk about 'complementary football' comes from...but a high variance offense is actually going to leave them more room for error. I believe there's a real incongruity between how the FO imagines this team should look like and the realities of their own capacity for succeeding in that style. And I think it's going to come to a head this season.

I think you can add in Shakir turns into a 1250ish type guy which would probably slot in between 3 and 4 for me but yeah

That's what I was getting at👍 It seems to me we are projecting best case scenarios improvements across the board on offense under the guidance of an untested OC. I actually think the offense has the potential to be pretty bad/ugly...in the past we've hung our hat on historic TD numbers offensively but suddenly moving to ball control is dicey imo The KC playoff loss was a real reminder for me at least of how thin the margins are for that style of offense. It takes such detailed commitment and execution...now we are expecting not only better fundamentals out of lesser players but also better game planning/scheme out of basically a rookie NFL OC?

give me some reasons for optimism that Brady can scheme this effectively because imo the end of last season was not sustainable

I can't think of many either but it's the dolphins😂😂 Imo at this point in their careers Tua is better than Herbert

they put up 70points last year

would have definitely have made the playoffs in 2014 2015 as well

that's my point tho MVP is team dependent...I don't think the Bills will be in the running for top seed this yr

id save you money tbh he was excellent last season w the 2seed and only got 1 vote its a team award at this point

correct

what should worry you about the mcdermott may become reid argument (aside from the litany of logical fallacies and statistical inconsistencies) is all the people making it are looking at it from McDermott's side and not the Bills' reid didn't win anything in Philadelphia

going to ask again are we dropping the drought era coach into the 2024 bills or are we dropping 2024 allen into the drought

It's not a lack of discipline that's responsible for that INT adot, at least not primarily imo I can think of several that were deep on third down... basically punts

I don't have any issue blaming the Jets loss on allen in its entirety

i don't care about the jets game...at this point i only really care about the playoffs. in that sense i give credit to McDermott for creating the environment for higher expectations. under his leadership we now have a consistent winning culture and that's no small achievement. the reason i asked is because in our recent eliminations our defense minded HC has presided over some absolute capitulations. i'm talking worst defense in the league type outings. the fact that it's been happening w such regularity on his side of the ball is why i'm out on McDermott and have been for some time now. he's the tua tagovailoa of HCs- great stats, can't get it done when it matters.

playoff game/super bowl on the line do you want the offense or the defense on the field last?

If you like I can pull up the numbers again They do not support it

I think that's very optimistic tbh considering we very nearly missed the playoffs this past yr w a better roster

Depends Do they get the same AFCeast sans Brady that we currently enjoy? If so I would say about as well as we have under McDermott

yeah the whole argument doesn't fly w me anymore. bengals defense doesn't have any trouble slowing down the chiefs in the playoffs. neither did the ravens or niners. we are the only one that just implodes in crunch time

the conceit is that 'well Mahomes and the Chiefs are in the way, so of course we can't win' which disregards the extent to which we routinely get abused on defense in the postseason. Even a mediocre defensive performance in either 2021 or 2023 would have been enough to get past the Chiefs twice...supposedly McDermott's area of expertise

Allen was the only guy who came to play that game lol people really do have short memories

he cant get past the bengals either
