SCBills

30 years ago, what you posted makes sense for guys who care about outside the league stuff. Now, you can be the face of the league in Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay etc. Post career.. look at someone like Nate Burleson. He played for small market teams his whole career. Maybe for Russ/Ciara a market like NY is necessary but that’s also a unique situation.

Bills finally got sick of fans calling into WGR demanding they play a PS RB and decided to cut him.

Speaking for myself, I'm fine if Rodgers wins MVP. If he doesn't, it should be Allen.

Next time we play the Pats, someone needs to tell our DL they saw Mac Jones crip walking in the locker room.

Ref throws the flag on the Diggs interference in Tampa Bay and Allen is the MVP frontrunner.

The way some people have reacted to the Sanders/Kumerow drops reminds me of the excuses people made up for our WR's after Josh Allen's first Playoff Game against the Texans. No one made a play, and then as the playoffs progressed, every game was filled with WR's making catches as difficult, or more difficult than the ones we needed our guys to make. Could Josh have thrown the ball better, sure... but those catches are routinely made by NFL WR's... not just elite NFL WR's, but run of the mill, normal #2, #3 WR's for most teams in the league.

If anyone is slightly banged up, rest them. Play someone like Sanders more to get us through these last two games. Last thing I want is for us to pull a 2020 and get to the playoffs with a WR crew collectively hobbled.

Does what? Catches covid?

Can’t Wentz potentially come back by Sunday under the change in NFL protocol?

Chris Olave and Treylon Burks are currently projected as late 1st rounders. If a WR like that is available when we pick, I think we owe it to Josh to make that investment. (Provided IOL is also addressed in FA/Draft)

True.. that was definitely a high level game from both teams.

Our Tackles have the ability to be very, very good. Dawkins is proven and Brown has all the potential in the world. Morse is decent. I don't know what to make of Darryl Williams... sometimes he's good, sometimes he struggles. However, Bates looked like he can hold his own, and if that's the case... enough with him being the forever-utility lineman. Let Feliciano be the backup Center, Ford backup Guard and Doyle backup Tackle. Put your best 5 out there.

Saints, even without their linebackers last night, are a good defense. After he threw the pick, he started to do some nice things. That said, a good defense can only hang on so long when the Ian Book-led Offense is just handing the ball right back over to the other team. I don't think Tua is very good, but I also don't think he's bad. He's just meh. Derek Carr type ceiling.

It does seem like the '21 Bills may be suffering from some regular season malaise, after getting to the AFC Championship Game last year. You can tell, when they are focused/hype for a game, they are completely different... KC, earlier this year, and NE this past Sunday. When your sole focus is on getting to the Super Bowl year in/year out, the regular season can become a grind. Maybe I'm way off, but it just seems like this team has suffered from their first go around of the year following the high of making a run in the Playoffs and the Playoffs now being all that matters. Now that we have two games left in the regular season, and the Division Title, at least one home Playoff Game to lock down.. I think we'll see this continued dialed in play from them.

All season long we’ve talked about how tough the North is, or how tough the West is… meanwhile, the AFCE currently has 3 playoff teams with two weeks left in the regular season.

To Tua’s credit, he’s taken two hits that I thought would break him and he’s still standing.

Brian Griese, every drive… “This is a critical drive”.

Im rooting for Miami to get to that Pats game with something to play for. I also have nothing to do tonight and don’t want this to be a blowout.

Say what you want about Book, but I agree.. this isn’t even fair to him.

Tua is so accurate. He just doesn’t miss. 2 yards. Bam. 3 yards boom. Behind the LOS. Strike.

You reference two turnovers, when one was a garbage time/desperation hail mary from a QB with a pop gun arm. Definitely don't need to be lights out every series. Hold NE to say 17, with one of those drives being a FG, or 14, with one of those drives being a 4th down stop, and we're looking at a B/B+ game. Yea, the defense was ok yesterday. C game.

No idea what you keep referencing about a 4 quarter game. You took issue with me saying that was a C game from our defense. If we didn't have high draft picks and money all over the place, I'd grade them higher for that game. In a league with a salary cap, when you devote as much as we do to Defense this year, there are higher expectations. Just like Josh Allen is graded on a curve league-wide as being compared to the elite, so too should our Defense have higher expectations given the investment. Yesterday was a C game for a team with the investment we have on that side of the ball.

Mac Jones, Baker Mayfield, Tua (A games) are Josh Allen (B games). There's a reason why there are levels to this. We invested a quarter of a billion dollars into Josh and that's why he is capable of so much more than most other QB's and graded differently. Same goes for a Defense that is hogging valuable cap space and draft picks, while we need Josh Allen to be prime John Elway given our OL and run game thus far. This Defense should be better than they are. And don't give me stats built on a year of mauling bad QB's/Offenses. That was a C game they played against New England. Throw some of that money and some draft picks to the Offense and I won't have higher expectations than what we saw from them against a very limited QB-led Offense.

Yes, actually. This defense has played very well against one good team, KC. And if that's who they're built to beat, and they do it again in the Playoffs... I'll consider the investment worth it. But to look at what Josh needs to do for this team, some in part due to the assets devoted to the Defense this year... this Defense should not be bottom of the barrel in terms of sacks, while also being poor to average at stopping the run. In a game with limited possessions, where our Defense gives up 21 points on 3/3 red zone TD's and allows a handful of 4th down conversions...i'm sorry, but that's a C performance, given what this defense has been allocated in terms of resources.

I'm grading on a curve. Stop obsessively investing in the defense and re-allocate those assets/money to the Offense next year and i'll grade our performance a B. Still waiting for this high paid/high drafted DL to become a force at something other than pressuring QB's without the sacks.
