Starting a comparison between the Bills' and Chiefs' investment in WRs in 2021 as the OP did is not going to yield legitimate conclusions if any. The Beane regime started in May, 2017 after the most of FA period and the draft, so starting the comparison in 2018 makes more sense than 2021, which seems arbitrary at best. Moreover, in order to do a real evaluation, you have to consider the WRs already on the roster as well as those WRs who were added or who left and when this happened. It's much more complicated than simply looking at who these teams drafted, signed or traded.

We're fans. We can be as overconfident as we want because it has no impact on the game. The players and coaches are the ones who have to take the Dolphins seriously.

Channel 7 (WKBW) is broadcasting the game so you can watch it via antenna or cable.

All my best to you and your daughter, Yolo. -
Hey old guys, it's my turn and I want some advice...
SoTier replied to Just Jack's topic in Off the Wall
I just had mine today, three years after my last one because the doctor found and removed a polyp the last time. I'm clean this time, so I can have another one in 5 years. I'm not sure if I will have another one since I'll be 80 then, I have no family history of colon cancer, and have no polyps. It's not recommended for elderly people who don't have family history, polyps or any symptoms because the risks of having the procedure frequently outweigh the benefits of early detection. If you have a family history of colon cancer, cologuard is probably not a good choice in place of the colonoscopy. -
I think Miami more or less has to have really talented skill position players because Tua isn't good enough to make average ones better if they want to be an offensive juggernaut. They're in "QB Purgatory " because they paid Tua like a 1st tier QB, and he's not that. I think they miscalculated about how far a pass heavy offense could get them. Cincinnati, OTOH, is getting exactly what Mike Brown wants: an exciting team to put butts in the seats and sell lots of merchandise with an escape clause if/when his first tier QB gets sidelined for weeks/months/season. Nobody's going to remember that Cinci's defense can't stop anybody. Many very intelligent people's brains work significantly faster than they can speak, so the ideas just spill out. It can be corrected if the person works at it, but I think McDaniel has other priorities. Not everyone can be Sean McVay.

Have you watched either of the Fins' previous two losses? They've been "in disarray" to be kind. "Running for the bus" mode might be a better description.

The Fish don't have a good enough defense to consistently stop the Bills passing or running. The Bills could beat themselves, but that hasn't been their mo this season.

Traditionally, a "trap game" is a game against a much weaker team followed by a game with a stronger team. The idea is that the strong team will overlook the much weaker team because it's looking ahead to its stronger opponent. New Orleans is hardly the team to make many teams worry about them two weeks out. Why do you think that McDermott won't? I think that he does that for every single game. Even with Allen, the team wouldn't win nearly as consistently as it does if he didn't.
-
That's the 2018 QB class. Allen and Jackson are future HOFers for sure. Mayfield may get consideration if he continues to play as he has with Tampa. Darnold hasn't turned out badly, either. Four quality starting QBs from any class is very rare. I think only 1983, 2004 (E Manning, Rivers, Roethlisberger, Schaub), and 2018.

Meanwhile, always fun to drop in on Finheaven during Bills week
SoTier replied to CSBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
They spent so much, cap-wise and draft-wise on WRs that they haven't been able to build been able to improve their OL or their defense. That's the same thing the Bengals did, and they've been wasting Joe Burrow's prime because they can't make the playoffs even when Burrow can stay relatively healthy because their defense is so bad. I'm sorry you drafted Josh on your fantasy team. -
What are the odds that McDaniel doesn't get fired before the weekend?

THE ROCKPILE REVIEW – “How Does It Feel to Have a Quarterback?”
SoTier replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall
Thank you for an excellent description of a Bills game in Met Life! Many years ago, I went to a MNF Jets-Bills game in the old Meadowlands stadium when Jim Kelly led the Bills back from a 10 point deficit to win easily. Jets fans are among the most long suffering in the NFL. -

SoTier replied to CSBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
I remember when TSW posts about upcoming games with the Patriots were a lot like this. I can almost feel for Fish fans ... almost .... not. Zero-for-the-Seventies lingers forever in the minds of old Bills fans!!!! -
Any QB who has been sacked and knocked down as frequently as Burrow has in his career is going to become "injury prone". The more you get hit, the more likely you'll get injured. Last week in Cleveland, the Browns were on him all game. The Browns DL, led by Garrett, were absolutely relentless. I was surprised he lasted the whole game. IMO, it was a matter of time before Burrow was injured for multiple games. I may have even mentioned that in one post or another.

Unfortunately, he's coaching the Jests. I doubt that any HC can find real success with the Jests under the Johnson family. Unless the Johnsons sell the team or one of the younger Johnsons takes over the team and changes ownership's philosophy, nothing will really change. We saw it with the Bills and with the Lions. Both teams were perpetual bottom feeders until there was a change in ownership: Pegula bought the Bills and Harp took over the running of the team from her mother. Fields is an Allen/Jackson/Mahomes wannabe. He can run, and his passing has improved, but I think his biggest issue is that he doesn't have the intangibles that make Allen/Jackson/Mahomes great. He can look good if he's not under pressure but he wilts when things don't go his way. I think that that was why the Steelers benched him for Wilson last season. That's such a simplistic take that it borders on nonsense. The history of the NFL is littered with examples of HCs who had good/great QBs but were still fired/let go. The first one who comes to mind is Mike McCarthy who was fired by the Packers (Rodgers) and by the Cowboys (Prescott). Furthermore, teams that fire their coaches every few years aren't just failing to find the right QB. They are crappy organizations starting with the owners, so they fail to field winning teams, which may or may not be the fault of the HC: During the Drought era, the Bills had an excellent veteran QB in Drew Bledsoe for 3 seasons, but they didn't support him, and finally sent him packing because they didn't want to pay him. The Lions chose Matthew Stafford as the #1 overall pick in 2009. In his 12 seasons in Detroit, Stafford had 3 HCs: Jim Schwartz, Tom Caldwell, and Matt Patricia. Stafford was always a good/great QB despite the teams around him. During that span, the Lions had 3 playoff appearances but failed to win a playoff game. He went to LA and won the SB with the Rams in his first season. The Jets are another team with crappy ownership. The Jests have not only missed on picking "the right QB" for 20+ years, they have failed to develop the "right QBs" they did find, namely Geno Smith and Sam Darnold, who have gone to be named Pro Bowlers and take other teams to the playoffs.
