Every talking head has had us penciled is as a champion since last January, so I'd say that we're definitely more highly regarded. If other teams don't fear us the way we've been dismantling the league, they're foolish.

I don't think societally football is as impactful as it was 30 years ago. there are so many more draws for people's attention now that even winning the Super Bowl doesn't carry the weight it did back then. It used to be that nothing was bigger than winning a Super Bowl and people would talk about it for months or years. Now, April rolls around and it's on to the next year. I still would very much like the Bills to win one, but I don't think it'll feel remotely close to the way it did in the mid 2000s and prior.

there's no reason to rush it. If I were McD I'd just have him be our reserve inactive until December. Get a couple of weeks of practice in the cold and then off to the playoffs

What a weird career Quinn has had. this is the 3rd time he's been traded - twice for a 4th and once for a 6th. He's also looked to be washed up multiple times and years apart and then puts out monster performances.

I was really looking forward to seeing: "How do you ensure you're constantly around the football without ever being in danger of making an impact play?"

Get some Sahlen's and/or Wardynski's hot dogs from the carts around the lots. You can't come to buffalo without having a hot dog. No other dog in the country compares.

Living in Austin, i was surprised he didn't go a little higher during the draft. I wouldn't be surprised if he found some Gardner Minshew esque lightning in a bottle this year. He's looked exciting at times in pre-season.

It hasn't been good so far, and part of that is the traditionally good teams looking poor. In second half look out for the Titans, Vikings, Niners, and Raiders to outperform. The Browns are a darkhorse as well. 1994 was a terrible year for football. I remember 95 being bad too.

are josh and pat not also doing #1?

Is this a question?

Brady was AT WORST, the 2nd best QB in football last year at age 44.

It's not that every snap has the same value, just that they are judged on the same scale of -2 to +2. If you look at their rubric though, they do grade impact plays more aggressively to the -2 and +2 sides. PFF has been rating Milano very highly for most of his career. They have justification for their grades and I thought that Milano wasn't having one of his better games when watching, in spite of the good plays he did make. There's a lot of "can do no wrong" that floats around here and the rest of Bills fandom once a player enters a protected class, and it doesn't matter what numbers you have to back it up.

There is - it's their QB.

Your post is confusing. Are you talking about 2 players? This isn't Keyshawn Johnson crying about targets, this is a player who is systematically phased out of the offense when another player is on the field. Also, I saw that he asked his boss to trade him, but I haven't seen anything from him in public. Is that really the bar for "piss n moan"?

Even better. Weren't you happy enough winning as a team with everyone else?

Is that what your boss tells you?

I could say the same. Loyalty is a two way street bucko.

If your family thinks you working one more year at a job is worth leaving you over, kick their sorry asses to the curb.

Triple digit targets in 2/3 years isn't high to you? His production was certainly capped, but he had plenty of opportunities.

How is Kirk relevant? He had monster usage in AZ.

It's business. If he doesn't get targets he can't hit incentives and won't be able to negotiate the contract he feels he deserves. Not much different than the Marquise Brown situation in Baltimore. The Jets could be ruining his career.

Dude has elite potential. I'd be more than happy to have him, but can't see the jets sending him to us under any circumstances.

I think you're just expecting the grades to represent data that they don't. You can have a on overall weak performance and still make huge clutch plays resulting ina low overall score. They lay this out pretty transparently: https://www.pff.com/grades it's just data. It's not personal. Of course there are limitations, as there are with any ability to grade (even the "eye test"), but the implementation appears to be logical They address this: " YOU DON’T KNOW THE PLAY CALL? We are certainly not in the huddle, but we are grading what a player attempts to do on a given play. While football is extremely nuanced regarding the preparation and adjustments that go into each play call, once the ball is snapped, most players are clear in what they’re trying to accomplish on each play, and we evaluate accordingly. Of course, there are always some gray areas in football. Plays in which there is a clear question mark regarding assignment, we can defer to a “0” grade and not guess as to which player is right or wrong. These plays are few and far between and since we are grading every snap, missing out on a handful throughout the year should not affect player evaluations. Examples of potential gray areas include coverage busts, quarterback/wide receiver miscommunications and missed blocking assignments. "

Milano gave up a 100% completion percentage on 3 targets, a 106.9 QBR against and had 3 missed tackles. Statistically, it was his worst game of the season. In addition he made a couple of bad reads on the play. He was still a beast out there, but I can see where the low grade comes from. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/MilaMa00/gamelog/2022/advanced/
