    Yes McDermott made Bass 25% in the playoffs.   Think about that 25% has a kicker ever had a worse playoffs?

     

    And still it's McDermott...God people.

    >9.5 yards per play.

    5 third downs all game.

    9 plays of 20 yards or more. 

    a HORRENDOUS fake punt. 

     

     

    Still not McDermott? God people

    Between this and getting roasted for making a thread shaming Allen for a "fake slide" - I'd imagine he's going to disappear for a while 😀

    My favorite part about the whole fake slide.. he tried to justify it by saying he was sliding because no defenders were within 7 yards of him .

     

     

    When... has Josh Allen EVER slid when defenders weren't close? LOL

    I agree with this 100%.

    What's weird about Elam is this: He has all the physical talent needed to be a good NFL starting cornerback. Based on what his coaches and teammates say, he also has the burning desire to be great and is a very hard worker.

    His sole liability thus far would seem to be his slowness in picking up the nuances of the zone scheme that the Bills run.

    How much he's able to learn and assimilate into this scheme vs how much he'll just forever lack the instinct necessary to excel in it, I can't really say..

    But one thing's for sure: If he's to have any hope of succeeding here, he needs to be on the field. Practice reps alone won't do it. As Warrior9 said, the playoffs aren't really the place you want a guy to be learning on the job, but the Bills may not have a choice. Year three will really be make or break for Kaiir Elam.

    As for yesterday's performance: up and down, but in my opinion, there was more good than bad. After that first series where the Steelers picked on him, he acquitted himself pretty well. The interception, the second near interception, and a handful of good coverage snaps. Yes, he got beat a time or two, but nothing awful. Yes, he got bowled over by a big receiver. But all in all? Encouraging day for Elam, I thought.

    Yepp. 

     

    I truly feel that if he doesn't work out here, he will be a STUD for another team... KC would scoop him up, put him at the line and let him abuse your WR.

    He is so hard to evaluate because he doesn't get a chance. 

     

    I feel like he's a guy that just needs to play to figure it out and go through some growing pains. The post season isn't where you want to really test that out but you can tell that his feel for the game is good but he is rusty. 

     

    He makes great plays and he makes bone headed plays... It's a sign of someone that needs to develop and learn how to play the game at the NFL level.. There's only one way to do that.

    Shakir needs to get the ball more

    Shakir has been working with Eric Moulds during offseason and occasionally during season.   Talked to Eric Moulds and he is very proud of his student.

     

    Shakir was basically an unknown for most of his career and game plans will now factor him in coverage schemes.

    I think this is a gross over exaggeration considering it's only his second year and in his second year has over 600 yards and leads the league in the stats mentioned in the OP and started over half the games. 

     

    Cool that he's working with Moulds though. 

    Who will you root for - Miami or KC?

    There is a 0% chance that a 3 seed can play a 1 seed in the divisional round. It would have to be AFCCG

    Correct. But the Bills have to beat Pitt first. That will be a tough game. 

    Sure but if we lose to Mason Rudolph and a defense without TJ Watt at home.... McDermott shouldn't be our head coach we would really need to re evaluate our roster.

    I know they kind of suck now, but I have PTSD playing the Chiefs in the post season. I feel much better playing Miami at home which is Allen’s bread & butter. 

    Correct me if I'm wrong.... maybe it was addressed.. 


    If the Dolphins beat the Chiefs, we wouldn't play the Dolphins. They would play the Ravens (lowest remaining seed) and then we would play winner of Houston, Cleveland.

     

    If Chiefs win, we play Chiefs.

    Baltimore LB spills the beans on Miami and San Fran

    The tells are in the RPOs.  If the LB does this - the QB will do this.  Its why we throw to the boundary so much, the defense wants us to do it.  

     

    Miami runs a fair amount of these so they're likely doing the same thing - defense would rather the ball go to a short throw in the boundary than hill or diggs over the middle or something.  There's usually a run element there too but that linebacker can still hit their run fit if they do it right.  

    That's not what he is referring to. You're talking about concepts post snap. Every offense has that.  

     

    Queen referring to "If they align like this and do this motion... it will be this play." 

     

    "If Hill is 2 yards to the right and Waddle is shaded off his inside shoulder behind him, expect this route combo because that's all they run out of this"

    Bills receivers are not getting open, but Allen finds them when they do

    The fact that different QBs on the same team with the same WRs see different separation makes the whole thing a bit dubious 

    Lol .. how so? Receivers play the same game against the same people and run the exact same way for every opponent? 

     

    So if Keenan Allen and Mike Williams and Everett are hurt, you expect the backs ups to get the same separation for Easton Stick? Injuries happen, different defenses, route combo's etc. It's not dubious in the slightest. There is a lot of variance in every game in the NFL. 

    The OTHER game nobody is talking about: Texans vs Colts

    Like I said we all view it differently.

     

    I don't want any part of those running games in the playoffs.

    It’s just really strange that you’d rather not a play a team that has a back up QB playing(Steelers and colts both) because you think they can run the ball and that scares you. Especially when we’ve proven we can stop the run. It a very very odd viewpoint

    we all view it differently I guess.

     

    I just feel more comfortable with this Bills defense against teams that will throw the ball more effectively than run it.  I don't like a matchup with the colts or the steelers because they ran the ball with a physical style and for about the same amount.  The dolphins have lots of rushing yards but its a different style and I think in pressure moments they will throw the ball.

     

    I just don't like the idea of those two colts backs vs the Bills.  They will shorten the game and make it a more physical punishing game.

     

    I would much rather play the texans and know they go as the passing game goes because I would feel good about Buffalo's veteran defense vs that passing offense especially in the weather in buffalo if its an issue.

    The Steelers have been atrocious all year running the ball minus last week. They do not run it with physicality. 

     

    If this was our run D 2 years ago, i'd agree and say colts scare me.. nothing about Gardner Minshew and Zach Moss scare me. JT isnt the same player he was pre ankle injury.

    If you throw out the goal line runs for Allen, his play this year definitely a peg below his prior years. His entire MVP candidacy has essentially been his ability to score inside the 5 yard line. Tons of bad games on the year. Which has been true across the league with QBs. Defenses definitely punched back this year in a major way.

    You really understand football at a very high level.

    Look I love Stevie. He's certainly in the top 10 most beloved in my generation, and he was a one of the few bright spots of the drought years. 

     

    But let's look at some of the contenders: 

    Jim Kelly

    Josh Allen

    Andree Reed

    Bruce Smith

    Thurman Thomas

    Cornelius Bennett

    Steve Tasker

    James Lofton 

    Eric Moulds

    Darryl Talley

    Jack Kemp

    Frank Reich (the Comeback!)

    OJ (you can hate the person, love the talent)

     

    Fitz, Fast Freddie and Stevie will always have a place in my heart. But all time greats?

    He said top 10 per position my man. Not all time Bill

    Really?  And just how do you measure “route running” to come up with that?   How do you compare route running in the 60’s, 70’s, 80, 90’s,  00’s. - all different eras, some eras had different rules.  
     

    Looking at something tangible, like total yards gained, Stevie is 10th all time on the Bills.  He is the 9th all time WR on the Bills list if you take out running back Thurman Thomas.   Considering the era he played in, that alone does not put him in the top ten overall.  
     

    WRs with more total yards are:  Reed, Moulds, Evans, Dubenion, Diggs, Lewis, Butler and Chandler  - some of these guys played in eras where they did not the throw the ball nearly as much either.   Some played against bump and run coverages.   Stevie played in the passing era of the NFL and still ranks just 9th, barely ahead of Peerless Price who ranks 10th.  
     

    Stevie is actually only 11th all time in average yards per game.  Not outstanding at all considering he played in the throwing era.  Or maybe the Bills have had a lot of excellent WRs in their history?  
     

    Don’t like using yards?   He is just 9th all time in receptions, 8th in TDs.   So he is decent, but again this is a passing era player.  


    There are 4 more WR that were better overall receivers than Stevie but have less yards due years played, era, injury, trade -  Lofton, Beebe, JD Hill, and Glenn Bass. 
     

    Stevie might be a “top 3 route runner in the NFL” as you suggest, I highly doubt it though given his rankings in the NFL during his era. 
     

    All things considered, on the all time Bills WRs list he slots in around the 12 to 15 range IMO.  It’s gets hard to compare him to players from other eras.  Since I’ve seen every era, I put him outside top ten and somewhere around 12-15 seems about right - IMO.  
     

    Nice guy.  Fun player.  A steal in the draft.  He did acquire 1000 yards in 3 straight years which is highly notable.  But I remember his drops and inconsistency as much as his good plays. 
     

    PS. No need to feel horrible for me or you.  It’s just opinion, only mine is based on factual data.  

     

    Throw out all the "he was best in the league in route running" (he was, btw.. ask Derrell Revis).

     

    He is top 10 in every category .. with awful QBs. So no, yours isn't based on factual data. 9th in catches,  10th in yards, and 8th in TDs, in Bills history for WR.. 99.99% of people (you are the .01) that wouldn't view this as a top 10 based on facts LOL 

     

    Let's talk about your "factual data" and how your "opinion" of 12-15 isn't "factually" correct.

     

    Stevie was not in the current passing era... he last played 10 years ago...... everything your saying is poorly thought out opinions based on zero facts.

     

    https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1655110-why-stevie-johnson-is-even-better-than-you-think PS, here is some knowledge for you for his route running. It's ok if you cant recognize talent man..  Unless Richard Sherman is also wrong? Wait, is John Lynch also wrong?
