    Yeah I’m aware of the obvious trolls posting here regularly , I’m sure Virgil is a great contributor and I’ve enjoyed his breakdowns.

     

     I was more so pointing out my own inadequacies when trying to differentiate between an “effective” troll and someone asking a legitimate question.

    I pity the man who challenges the Virg.  He might slap the following lyrics on you:
    "Hey! What gives you the right
    To put up a fence to keep me out
    But to keep Mother Nature in?
    If God was here, he'd tell you to your face 'Man, you're some kind of sinner'"

     

    Bills-Dolphins Week 18 for the Division! SUNDAY NIGHT GAME

    @Wayne Arnold brings up exactly 1 of 2 things that happen Monday:

     

    As Bills fans who are here as mostly fanatics incapable of critical thought or abstract thinking which conflicts with the successful beliefs/abilities of this team it is difficult to gauge where this team actually competes. Traditionally we view national media and larger media bodies as being too uninformed to possess a fully formed belief in the team. Similarly, we dismiss their viewpoints when negative because we only choose to see the good. These narratives set by the media resonate across the league to form popular beliefs. Those popular beliefs are often something we toe when viewing other teams. So, all things being equal we should remain focused on the greater populist narrative when gauging our team.

     

    Pulling back in to his statement we will have two outcomes possible. In the first we will all expect to win because there are few reasons we should lose. The resulting storylines after victory can easily write themselves.

     

    However, if we lose will the same narratives from earlier this season bounce right back? Were they wrong to begin with? This team needs sweeping changes across the roster and across the way the team is managed & coached, regardless of the win. I will leave those changes open to anyone willing to challenge themselves and others to the outcomes.

     

    So, if we win than it is what we expect. If we lose than we get exposed prematurely to what most of us already know in the back of our heads: we are a pretty flawed team.

    Yes, 95% on here have rose colored vision, but most understand that we are flawed.  Just look at our losses, and some of our wins.  However, when compared to all of the remaining flawed teams, we can beat any of them.  Maybe we will.  It seems that our team works best when we come out of the gates fast.  We’ll win Sunday night 35-17.  

    Best coaching move of the game yesterday

    Re the Blitz against Englend: The Brits were running out of planes. If Goering had continued attacking Brit airfields for one more week the RAF would have collapsed; instead Goering switched to bombing cities.

    Re the Russian campaign, the Russkies D made a crucial stop at Stalingrad. Once the Russkies had the ball in 1943 they continued to run the ball up the gut because the Germans couldn't stop it. Bottom line: the Germans lost WW2 because they couldn't win on the road.

    After a couple of days reflecting on the game my consensus now is that we expanded all our energy pounding Dallas into the fen ground that we had just enough gas left in the tank to squeak past the Chargers….

    Kinda agree but what caused those turnovers?

    Big profile of Jason Peters - does anyone know who the bills assistant coach would have been?

    I am not sure that the details are correct.

     

    According to the archive of the team website, the only two offensive coaches that had any type of long professional playing career from 2004-2007 were Sam Wyche the quarterbacks coach and Tom Clements (CFL) the offensive coordinator with both playing 12 years. It's hard to imagine either getting into it with a rookie, undrafted backup offensive lineman.

     

     

    I remember seeing him at training camp his rookie year at SJF.  He looked like a heavy Bruce Smith.  The guy beside me said he was a rookie TE.  I said “Really?”  I don’t know if Bills ever used him as TE.

    Can James Cook break a tackle, ever?!?!

    Cook is very slippery and tends to get a lot of yards when he leans sideways while being tackled so the defenders can't get a good piece of him...that reminds me a lot of Thurman...teams never got a clean hit on him, they only got little pieces of his body.

    Also his lean physique means he only needs a small hole, and his balance, shiftiness, and vision are uncanny,

    Is Diggs done?

    Diggs is not done, lol.  But catch the dang ball. His hands are a bit clumsy at times this season. Although against KC at least one, maybe 2 WR screens would’ve been blown up  and maybe even negative yards. 

    Since we know that he protects himself, maybe those were intentional drops to keep from being smashed.

    We have Douglas for one year because after '24  I think he is going to get pretty big money.

     

    If Tre is gone and we have room maybe we pay.

     

    I like him a lot.

     

     

     

     

    Extend Douglas.

    You were watching a different offense then I was my friend.  Diggs is running half speed most of the time, and isn't breaking any tackles.  He also isn't getting any separation from the guys who are covering him.  You can not tell me he has been dominant in the slightest the second half of the season.  And to be honest, he doesn't have to even dominate.  Just get open some and make 3 or 4 big catches per game.  And show some fire!!

    Good tape for the Dallas boyz.  Hope they take him lightly.  Wanna bet Diggs burns em bad?

    You're articulating a position most NFL fans agree with, so I'm not going to dismiss you. But I disagree. Your premise if that the quality of a given QB is determined mostly, if not exclusively, by the number of championships he wins. I get it: winners win. But put Mahomes on a lousy team with lousy coaches. Does he win championships? No. Does that mean that exactly the same player is suddenly no longer the best? In your calculus, yes, it does. It follows, then, that Mahomes is in large part a product of the organization around him. 

     

    You could argue that a godlike figure like Mahomes would lift the others around him, so he would win championships even with the Giants O-line, the Bears' receivers, the Cardinals defense, and Rex Ryan as head coach. I don't buy it. A stellar talent could take a B or B+ team all the way, sure, just as an average QB on an otherwise excellent team could win Super Bowls. But you can't judge a QB with a single metric, even championships. That's not a trump card, no matter how triumphantly you play it. 

     

    Also, to say Allen doesn't play the same sport as Mahomes is, well, are you trying to be provocative? Let me be provocative right back: Allen is better than Mahomes. He's objectively bigger, faster, stronger, and more athletic, and he does more with less. The only counter-argument you have is the championships point, which, again, is just one criteria that's outweighed, I think, by the impact of the respective head coaches alone. The 13-seconds game is a perfect illustration.

     

    No, give me a choice of QBs to build a team around, and I'd take Allen every time.  

     

     

    Finn:  I agree that JA17 is the best QB in a decade, and Mahomes has benefited from better systems/support/coach.  I liken it to Montana and Marino.  In my book, Marino was the real GOAT … smart, fierce, and oh what an arm.
