No. This year's team finished as high as they should have. They aren't on the same level as KC, Baltimore, SF or the Lions. They weren't last year either. In 2021 you could argue they were.

You know the people that pay them are the folks with the real money, right?

I always laugh when people use "cheating", like it's some derogatory term, especially in college sports and baseball where it's so interwoven with the fabric of the sport that it's actually part of the game.

Oh no whatever shall we do this season without the usual positivity we're used to seeing from you two.
I'll be positive when the team stops regressing and shows progress. Until then, it's irresponsible to be positive in my book.

hit me back in 2025. It's now been two seasons in a row where we haven't been playing great football, and I don't see a Super Bowl as likely next year either. We have a lot of inexperienced staff, aging vets, big holes to fill on our team and a bunch of cap tied up. We're going to need 2 very good drafts with elite talent on rookie deals to re-open another window, imo.

I agree with your positive assessment--I think they will improve slightly next year, just enough to get them over the hump..
good luck with that. Go ahead and bet the farm on the Bills next year. I'll put my money on the Chiefs or maybe SF.

Somewhat disappointed as McDermott did one of the best jobs I have ever seen coaching the defense this year. I wanted to see how dominant they could be when healthy next year.
Hopefully he works very closely with Babich this off season and during the 2024 season, implementing much of the defensive philosophy that has made the Bills one of the best defenses over the last 5 years.
Wow, that is an extremely high percentage of certainty!!
What facts or inside information do you have to back this up, specifically?
As a Buffalo Bills fan, I'm privy to some really exclusive information like watching what happens when you have a coaching and veteran talent pipeline that is extremely dependent on the franchise juggernaut that is the Carolina Panthers. I've watched how continuity of a mediocre staff has manifested in the same form of mediocrity and continued mistakes despite many, many attempts.
Promoting from within is generally an indication that you want, and should expect more of the same. It's great thing when you have a history of success. When you have a history of falling well short of expectations, well, expect that to continue. These are company men towing the company line that owe their future to McDermott. I don't expect anything to change significantly and I don't expect them to improve significantly unless something crazy happens outside of their control, like Beane drafting a few rookies that play at an all-pro level.-

Sure. No problem.
And likewise, if the Bills are great defensively in the playoffs next year and Babich turns out to have been a great hire, I trust you'll be here with bells on to eat crow?Absolutely. 99.99% sure that won't be happening though.

The Bills have consistently ranked in the top 10 and/or top 5 in DVOA and points scored since McDermott arrived.
Babich has been a key cog in the coaching wheel the whole time. First he did great work with the safeties, as Hyde and Poyer both became All-Pro caliber players. Then he moved to linebacker, where Milano has developed into an All-Pro and Bernard just had an outstanding sophomore season.
I understand ideological frustration with continuity, given that the Bills have yet to win a Super Bowl under McDermott. To complain about this specific move, though, seems like misplaced frustration. Babich is a good coach, as evidenced by his multiple interviews elsewhere, and this is a good hire.Be sure to remind us all of this after KC or Cincy's offense rolls our defense over in the playoffs next year.

Lol. Another completely surprising move from one bills drive.
For the 6th year in a row they intend to run it back and try again with the same personnel and will hope for a different result.-

Of course. This has the potential to be one of the greatest games ever.
You have the two best active coaches in the league squaring off. KC has the best 2 players in football, and San Francisco has a juggernaut team all around. Can Mahomes and Kelce do it again against one of the strongest rosters in the salary cap era?
I'm a football fan before I'm a Bills fan. If I only watched football when the Bills had a shot at a championship, I wouldn't have seen very many games the last 30 years.-

No Mahomes is a surprise but not anything to split hairs over.
Theres no logical reason for Dak to be on here, though
On 1/25/2024 at 11:17 AM, Lost said:Why is Dak on the list and not Mahomes?
Why would Mahomes be on the list? He had less yards than every QB above him besides Jackson, a worse passer rating than Dak and Purdy, a worse INT ratio than Dak. Lamar and Purdy, less TDs than Dak, Purdy and Josh.
Dak had a monster season and led the league in passing TDs, was 2nd to Purdy in Passer Rating and QBR, led the league in completion percentage, tied for 3rd in INT ratio behind Stroud and Pickett. -

This is just an "I liked a Dan Campbell interview I saw!" thread.
I miss the "we need a football czar! He should be about 7' tall and be able to hypnotize you with his eyes and dance all night" threads.
Besides the best TE of all time you mean? Well, he had MVS, Rice, Hardman, Pacheco, CEH, Moore, and Toney. No one but Bills fans think Shakir, Kincaid, and Knox are anything special.
Who out there thinks MVS, Hardman, CEH, and Toney are special?
Toney and Hardman outright lost them games as reserve players as did MVS.
CEH had 17 receptions for 188/1TD.
Rashee Rice had a gr3eat year as a rookie, but drafted after Kincaid. If the Bills wanted him, they could have had him. Shakir had a similarly impressive year on a lot less targets. Pacheco is a good not great RB who isn't a major passing game factor either at 44/244/2 compared to Cook's 44/445/4.

How about we just get him more weapons? 🤷🏽♂️
How many more weapons does he need? He had Diggs, Shakir, Kincaid, Cook, and even Knox. Who did Mahomes have besides Kelce?
There aren't many teams that have more passing weapons than us.-

I think you have to split burrow and allen into a Tier A+, and Jackson and Stroud can sit in A. Stroud had a great year, but let's see how his sophomore year goes, and Jackson is just simply not a "take over the game" type talent.
Like it or not Jackson has 2 MVPs, which should put him at the top of the group. Now, I still don't think he's an elite passer, which keeps him in line with those that are, but there's no credible argument to put Allen above hima t this point. The only limited argument you'd have for Burrow is 1 Sb appearance, and I'm not sure that does it either.

Any of them.
I think Mahomes is the most talented QB in history. Not mad at him for cementing his legacy.
Not a Goff fan, but winning a Super Bowl would be more important for the city of Detroit than other other place in the country.
Brock Purdy as a former Mr irrelevant turned instant elite-QB is one of the coolest football stories in my lifetime.
Lamar Jackson already lost, but would have been cool for him to prove the naysayers (including me) wrong. Maybe next year. -
Tier S - Mahomes
Tier A - Burrow, Allen, Herbert, Jackson, Stroud
Tier B - Hurts, Purdy, Stafford, Prescott, Tua,
After that it doesn't really matter. There are some players that have had good seasons like Goff, Love, Mayfield, etc but they would probbaly take anyone above them if they could. -

Uh, yeah you can.
The stats I gave you is provided direct from the NFL and collected with RFID chips in players pads and the football.Yeah, you trust that one, over the fantasy website.
I don't know why you guys insist on arguing about things on the internet without even looking up the definition of the things you're arguing about. It's a different measurement.
That said, I'd rather debate the bad decision to throw the ball there in the first place. Maybe I should be grateful that that he didn't complete the throw, because had he made it,we would have had to hear the ridiculous argument that it was defense's fault that we lost because "he left the field with the lead".

What irony.
Again, straight from the NFL…Mahomes averaged 2.97 seconds per throw.
Lamar averaged 2.95 seconds per throw.
Hurts averaged 3.03 seconds per throw.
Herbert averaged 2.8 seconds per throw.
Murray averaged 2.8 seconds per throw.
Goff averaged 2.77 seconds per throw.
Piedy averaged 2.88 seconds per throw.
2.48 and 2.69 is quite fast.
https://nextgenstats.nfl.com/stats/passing#yards
Wrong.
Take that up with the guys putting together the stats. There isn't a definition there of time to throw, so you can't argue that it's wrong or not. Given that the data is wildly different, It would make sense that their measurement is different.

those averages are how long they TOOK to throw. Not how long they HAD to throw. for all kinds of different routes. you can't extrapolate a generalized stat like that into "He should have gotten rid of the ball quicker" on a 30 plus yard route.
And josh TOOK 2.69 Seconds to throw, which on average is longer than all but 3 QBs in the NFL.
It was a bad throw, but a worse decision. He should have hit Diggs or Kincaid underneath and ran out the clock. Instead, Hollywood Josh took over and lost the game.-

OR pressure.
and they often throw the ball without pressure, and those throws are included in the average.
What point are you trying to make here that isn't the same point I made?

13 minutes ago, Man with No Name said:
pocket time is not how long until you face pressure, it is how long until you release, which often comes without pressure. and when you are throwing a bunch of balls 0 to 5 yards down the field, that is bringing the average way down.
Incorrect. You could have at least tried.

2.48 seconds from ball hitting Allen’s hands, to Allen’s wind-up.
Time to release was 2.69 seconds.
Which is a lot of time. Only Lamar Jackson(2.7), Russel Wilson(2.7) and Justin Fields(2.8) had more to to throw on average this season. No excuse to not make the throw.

Will Derrick Henry be a Bill in 2024?

I don't know. Despite high aggregate stats, he was pretty inefficient.
He had 326 combined touches - good for 4.2 yards per touch including 4.2 ypc (prior to the last game of the year he was at 3.9). He had 7 games where he failed to break 50 yards, including 3 where he didn't get 30. Dude had a game where he got 9 yards on 16 carries. He was a complete non-factor for large portions of the season and propped up his pedestrian averages on the back of a couple big games. I watched him routinely get stuffed on critical short downs, which is the whole reason you go and get a guy like that. Towards the end of the year, they put him on the bench in those spots and went pass.
In his defense, Cook actually had many of the same poor showings, but he's also a first year starter, not a 28 year old former MVP level back with an injury history. Cook did manage to average 5.5 yards per touch compared to Henry's 3.5, but also had 7 games under 50, 3 under 30 and had a game where he went 5 carries for -5 yards.
He's nowhere near the threat he was 4 years ago and has trailed his career average in ypc for 3 straight years.
