The answer is data/analytics. Because the other team has an average drive start further back than the 25 and statistically that means you give up points. There is really good data to back it up. Over the course of the season it probably means 20 or more less points given up.

The statement I quoted was interpreting things in the most negative way possible possible. The quote talked about "no run game, horrible OL and 1 WR threat. You are picking on the WR part and talking about a couple practice squad guys who got handfuls of snaps down the stretch. Was WR a concern? Yes it was/is. Were there injuries to WR's? Do teams routinely add veteran depth as the season goes on? Did Gabe Davis perform like people wanted, no but he had 836 yards and 7 TD's. No run game.....the Bills were 7th in rushing yards per game. Take away Allen and it falls down but the YPG were there. Did the Bills give up huge numbers of sacks? Allen hold the ball longer than pretty much every QB in the league. Having said that, should OL and WR be addressed? yes they should, its just not all doom and gloom like is being thrown around. The Bills scored the second most points in the league and were also right around there in yards per game. They were among the best at third down conversions. The panic in Bills mafia is driven by recency bias.

If hodgins was still on the Bills he would be “garbage” that is holding Josh back.

You have to consider to some extent the draft position. Oliver would have been a slam dunk as a 6th rounder but as the 9th pick, not so much. Dane Jackson is a great pick in the 6th round. Teller is outstanding, just not with the Bills. I am all for evaluating Beane but to do so you have to guard him against his peers not a list like this. No GM gets a bunch of starters every year. I think even going round by round and looking at snap counts, starts, pro bowls....do that for all GM's and compare. A bunch of guys, especially late round guys contribute on special teams but most fans ignore the value in that. This is nonsense.

He should, some team will overpay for him.

Love poyer but this would seem like a mistake.

This is not surprising, still like the cheapest in the league. I live in NE, they have a similar situation with the Patriots. https://www.patsfans.com/new-england-patriots/messageboard/threads/season-ticket-prices-have-increased.1160263/ The reason is "because they can"

Joe has been the guy while Howard has been part time, that seems like an obvious result to me. Not sure about Joe, some of his takes are just bad but I think there has been improvement.

Step back and really consider what these shows are. They have to change it up and keep things controversial, it generates responses, like this. That IS THE BUSINESS. You are falling for it. Draft QB's today with real NFL GM's, which ones are taking Herbert and Lawrence over Allen? The answer: ones that will get fired the next day.

What's the number for the WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbulance?

Dont tell me what to think dude

Lee Smith still gets false starts 2 years after he leaves the team....

I agree completely and am not really sold the OL is a great problem when the plays were to hold the ball for so long. In the Rams game, Josh broke the Bills record for completion percentage and I belive that game had is lowest average time to release a ball in his career. That needs to be more the plan than how they ended the year. If they do anything this year it needs to be developing the quick short game. It actually will open up the longer game.

I thought the stages floating around looked interesting. some of her music is pretty good, I have not expectations really. It was interesting when she did the crotch scratch and sniff, seemed odd and part of me wondered if I saw what I thought I saw, sounds like I did.

for PI

That was ticky tack, and should not have been called there. There is holding on offense and defense on most every play, it's subjective and that one was pretty weak.

You should have thrown the towel in 30 years ago

Usually I roll my eyes at the half time adjustment comments but in the SB you have an extended time to put more work into it. Generally adjustments happen continually not magically at halftime like gets thrown around all the time. That is why guys have tablets and talk with the coaches between drives which can be just as much time as a typical halftime.

Going Into this season the narrative was chiefs were taking a step back mostly because they traded one of their key weapons and resetting the cap to a degree. Yet they win the SB. IMO the perceived need of “more weapons” is not founded for the bills and help is needed in other places. More talent is always better but this staff with JA can win. They need to figure it out.

The refs should hoist the Lombardi

There is the mahomes point

Eagles getting smoked by the same play

9-7-1. Why would you have jelly on your face for that? He has a long way to go to be compared to McDermott.

Get the turnovers down and he will be MVP

Does that make Dabol a better coach in your mind? Mike Vrabel Kevin Stefanski, Matt Nagy, Jason Garrett, Ron Rivera, Lovie Smith Dick Jauron have won it too.
