Great news!
If Daboll's endgame is HC, I'm glad he's waiting for the right opportunity and not just jumping at the chance anywhere.
Also, the longer Daboll is here, the more this becomes "Josh Allen's Offense". We already know the plays are what he wants to run and that he has control of changing calls/protection at the line. The more time Daboll is with Josh, as Josh gains experience, the easier the transition to a new OC will be.

Buffalo Bills:
Develop an elite passer in Josh Allen.
Build a top of the line pass blocking OL. (as a result, the run game can suffer - most lineman aren't great at both)
Invest draft capital and cap space into a top end WR room.
Can't invest heavy everywhere so we rely on 3rd Round Picks at RB1, RB2 & TE.
Baltimore Ravens:
Build around an elite athlete at QB who is limited in the passing game.
Build a dominant run blocking OL. (as a result the pass pro suffers)
Invest heavily at the TE/RB position.
Spend a 1st on a speed WR (so that teams can't sell out on the run as much) and then fill in with JAG's.
Both teams will have to pay their QB's. You can't invest everywhere AND have the Defensive talent Buffalo, and especially Baltimore, have.
Ravens fans/Sports media can claim Lamar needs better pass blockers on the OL and a stud WR1, but that would mean revamping the Offense and a massive re-allocation of asset spending.

A great QB will elevate wide receivers who would otherwise seem good or above average.

Diggs is elite. Did people consider him elite in Minnesota... talk of him being THE best WR in the NFL?
Nah, not with Cousins and whoever else, they didn't. Through no fault of his own, he was held down by the scheme and QB play.
Give Diggs all the love in the world, because he deserves it, but those with an agenda love to act like he made Josh Allen into what he's become. They helped make each other into what they are. There's a reason why every team playing for a Conference Championship has an elite QB and an elite WR1. Exception being Tampa Bay who doesn't have an elite WR1, instead they just have 3 normal WR1's.

Gabriel Davis has to make that catch. He's good, but not great (yet), and that's ok... but in fairness to the Duke Williams portion of the fanbase, we killed Duke for not making a somewhat tough TD catch in the Texans game last year. Of course, that's where the comparison ends... Davis has a bright future and has played really well as rookie WR.
The FG was fine given how the Ravens game played out, but we need TD's against KC.

The Browns seemed to, somewhat, contain that Chiefs Offense after they jumped out on them early and before Mahomes went out.
The biggest play of the game was Higgins fumbling out of the end zone. That was a killer, and credit to the Browns for not having their will broken after that.

Teller is where he should be. He's an elite run blocker and meh pass blocker.
We pass 80% of the time.
-
Mahomes is playing. I'm not reporting any news, but I think we all know that he will be cleared.
The injury to watch is Mahomes foot. He kills teams with his ability to prance for first downs.

Maybe but the SB was played at the Meadow lands not to long ago . Long before any teams had domes the game was played the way it was meant to be played out side in the elements so we will agree to disagree but its all good .
In todays NFL it's more about the spectacle that is the super bowl and generating as much money as possible the game is a smaller part of the actual equation than the over all experience . I would expect you being from ATL and building 2 dome stadiums in 20- yrs to have a different out look too .
But it would be a totally different NFL if there were no Lambo field no Bills Stadium no Cleveland Stadium no Baltimore Stadium sure every thing would be exactly the same for every team which some would love but I love the Bills experience every time i go to a home game !
I quit watching Nascar for that exact reason it use to be ford against Chevy, Buick , Olds, Plymouth, Dodge, now its every single car has to be exactly the same no one really has any advantage IMHO very blah .
The Super Bowl i can agree with you though it should be the 2 best teams and the weather shouldn't be a factor but man i don't want the NBA experience i want the NFL experience with all it's differences it makes each team individual in its own right .
Be safe enjoy the games ...
Yea, i'm from NY but have lived down south for 10 years now. The Mercedes-Benz Stadium is awesome. Josh Allen would shatter records playing in a place like that.
That said - I completely understand the sentiment you have. No Lambeau, no Brady snow games in Foxboro...like it or not, that stuff is legend.
If we were a ground and pound team, I might even have a different outlook.. but we are a high flying pass heavy team and spending every home game watching wind forecasts is becoming incredibly frustrating.
That said, with McDermott being a defensive beast of a HC, if Allen learns to throw in the wind... well then, MASSIVE home field advantage.

He apparently has a no-trade clause in his contract, so he can demand a trade and still veto any he doesn't like.
Ok then ha... well, apparently Deshaun Watson has full control. If that's the case, if i'm their GM/Ownership, i'm just asking him who he wants us to hire and then doing it.
You can't lose a Top 5 QB and not get back the best haul possible. I say that second part because only the Texans seem capable of trading a young top 5 QB.

The Fins can still afford to upgrade the receiving corps even if they sign Watson. They are in very good cap shape, young team not paying a bunch of people.
You're probably right. When would Watson's cap hit start really affecting them?
Neither the Dolphins or Jets seem like a place a WR would want to go without them overpaying, but with Watson in the mix, i'm sure they, Dolphins especially, would become the premier FA WR landing spot.
Thankfully, IF Robinson, Juju or Godwin shake free, I don't believe any of them are elite WR's...and only A-Rob is a true #1.
-
He played very well against the Ravens.
If the salary cap isn't disgusting this off season and we can re-sign everyone we want, then who really cares about his potential roll over cap savings.
We can't make mistakes on guys like that with the Josh Allen contract coming up, but right now, the FO has had that wiggle room.
-
Watson hasn't demanded a trade, and I wonder if he would, knowing the Texans best offer could potentially come from the Jets.
I get why he would want to go to Miami. Good coach, good defense, and the offense is ok - probably won't get much better with the draft capital and cap space needed for Watson, but he can certainly make them a playoff team.
However, the Jets can beat the Dolphins best offer and if they do, he goes to a team more talent deprived than Houston. They can probably get him FA WR if one shakes free (Robinson, JuJu, Godwin etc) but with the draft picks they would have to give up, the team we saw this past year will be the same team Watson joins with the addition of CJ Moseley (whatever he is at this point) and a potential big splash at WR.

Not to come to Kurt Warner’s defense but if you watched the whole segment he said the games be played in a dome so you could see the best teams advance. Then he immediately goes into the highlights of how the weather was going to effect this game and how it was supposed to favor the Ravens run game but Buffalo’s defense basically dominated them. So I’m the end of the segment one could surmise that it was a compliment towards Buffalo.
I think fans on this board are too quick to be offended. I actually read the comment on this message board and thought we got thrown under the bus. Then I watched it live and realized that people will interpret things however they want.
Ah ok, I was reacting to the synopsis and, admittedly, hadn't seen the clip.
That said... I do agree that football should be played indoors in the north. I know that's blasphemy to some on here, but there's a reason Super Bowls are played inside or in the south.

Interesting thing about weather and how the Bills are constructed..
Heavy winds clearly hurt our offense more than anything else can. We still passed 90% of the team in a wind game. That's who we are. It's not going to change with, knock on wood, Josh Allen as our QB for at least the next decade.
However, McDermott is an elite Defensive Head Coach. If he can make you one dimensional, you have no shot. Heavy winds help to make teams one dimensional.... and even a team built to thrive in the weather we saw Saturday Night, had no shot.

I heard Kurt Warner on NFL Gameday Rewind last night he believes that every play off game should be held in a dome stadium so there is no out side interference due to weather related stuff like the wind at the Ralph this week end but i think that's BS !!
The NFL game starts out side played in the mud, rain, wind, & snow or what ever else mother nature could dish up in Buffalo/Green Bay and other places that's called Home field advantage i don't want the NFL to be nascar every body has the exact same equipment that sucks .
Warner felt that the Ravens by his statements would have beaten the Bills if they were inside in a 70 degree climate controlled dome who knows maybe alls i know that our Bills over came those exact same difficulties as the Ravens and had a better Defensive game plan so Kurt stop the whining it doesn't look good on you !!
I hope the Bills don't get a dome if every team had a dome stadium there would have been no Ice Bowl no Snowvertime game ! If all of us in life thought the same had all the same knowledge and the exact same equipment to perform life in general it would be a pretty blah zay existence so let it go Kurt !!
Yes, common knowledge is that an elite running team would obviously be more disadvantaged by heavy winds than an elite passing team. Of course... Kurt Warner, spot on....

On Get Up! They pretty much said it's not Lamars fault for the passing game, it's an organizational issue. I like Lamar, I just hate how the media treats him.
This x 100I like Lamar as a person, and he’s fun to watch. I just hate how the media treats him.
I think you have to ask if he’s the NFL’s Russell Westbrook.. a great player that you can’t win with.

Yup First Things First switched the narrative to Greg Roman isn’t good enough, Lamar’s weapons aren’t good enough, Mike Vick chiming in about his career almost being ruined because OC’s only wanted to run him.
Nick made his usual Josh Allen crack about 10 points total. Then said this game is all about Lamar.
On Friday it was nothing but how electric Lamar was. Look at that Titans run. We’ve never seen anyone that fast. Now it’s our OC isn’t good enough and we have no WRs.
And maybe Greg Roman knows something. They run a lot because Lamar can’t pass or he’ll throw bad picks like he did in two straight Playoff games?
They have a good OL, used a premium draft pick on a RB, have a top tier TE and one of, if not the best, defense in the NFL.
They spent a recent 1 on a WR. Marquise Brown looks pretty dang good when he’s thrown the ball.
Good OL
TE-Mark Andrews
RB-JK Dobbins
WR-Marquise Brown
Could they use a Diggs, Adams, Hopkins etc., sure, but those guys don’t grow on trees. Those WR’s QBs also play a part in how great they are.. Diggs wasn’t able to show how great he is with Cousins.

Lamar got trashed on GMFB, but raise your hand if you’re sick of “The Ravens missed two field goals” without the context of .... “so did Buffalo”.
All weekend I kept hearing about how the Ravens could of made it a game if they don’t miss those kicks, as if our guy just routinely misses 40-something yard FG’s.

If the Bills go on and play the Chiefs and beat them with Mahomes the narrative will be they played a concussed Mahomes.
If the Bills go on and play the Browns and beat them, the only reason they are going to the SB is because Mahomes was concussed.
The Bills are almost in a no win situation now.
Nobody who matters cares about that.
We could be Green Bay and have a bye with our record, home field throughout and our Divisional game against a QB that has no business playing right now so soon post-surgery.

Who needs timeouts in a close game like this...
Report: Daboll will remain with Bills in 2021
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted · Edited by SCBills
I'd hope he wants to go scorched earth every week, but the ingredients are certainly there..
Revenge game. He knows we likely need to put up a lot of points. Played a top 10 defense WC Round, then a Top 5 defense in the Divisional Round, now the Chiefs Defense.. one of these things are not like the other.
