About 9 yrs later I took my 7 yo son to his first Bills game. Against Jets, Oct or Nov I think. He sees two 50+ yo guys arguing, one says "s*** my d*** you f******". They proceed to get in a fist fight (really more pushing and slapping) and end up kicked out. He asks me what happened. I tell him the guy in the green jersey drank too many adult cokes. Was I being dishonest?

Joe B has had a couple articles on this topic. Both Miller and Rousseau perform better from the left side, and Bills DE lined up more R vs L than strong vs weak formation side.

Throwing a 13month old kid under the bus. Gotta love the internet. 😂 Just kidding. But you gotta see the irony here.

"The Bills offense has been built to put up points with receivers who get open against soft, regular season coverage. When the playoffs hit.......they lose that edge. " This is a really good point. Bills WR room wasnt working for elite games, so it was a good idea to blow it up and try something different. Maybe get some bigger, more physical receivers. Like Kincaid, Coleman, Claypool, Hollins for Harty, Sherfield, Diggs. Sorta what the OP was saying...

Gotcha. So you have no stats on player improvement, translation of college to NFL, reviving lost careers, or likelihood of continuing upward or downward trends. Thats what I thought.

Not sure how this is unlikely based on significant track record. Coleman has never played in NFL Claypool and MVS have had up and down years. If we get their up years, they’re pretty good. Samuels has played consistently well on bad offenses. Shakir ended the year in a clear upward trajectory. Will that continue ? Diggs ended the year on a clear downward trajectory. Will that continue ? Clearly there are a ton of variables. If you have a statistical analysis that clearly demonstrates it’s unlikely they will be better, please share it with the group.

I follow college football recruiting a bit. Offer lists are confusing. It used to be if a kid had a scholarship offer from a team, he could call them up, and say I'm in. Now, major Power4 teams send out literally 100s of offers. But not all of them are "committable". As in, a kids has an offer from Alabama, calls them and says he wants to commit to the team. Turn out the offer may not be "committable". If he's a top 250 prospect, then Alabama usually says yes. But if he's a lower 3 star, only in the top 1000, they may say, "ah, we can't take your commitment right now". If this sounds crazy, it is. Teams offer way too many for various reasons. Keep good relations with high school coaches, keep borderline kids "on the hook" until they see how things evolve. So the Mich State and Pitt offers may not be "committable". Also, NIL money has begun to skew things. A MAC team like UB wont have the overall NIL money that Mich Sate would, but if they really like this guy, they can offer him more NIL money than Mich State will.

Nah, he goes by J-Root

Let me make sure I have this straight. McDermott has a team with only 1 top 100 player (simple math would indicate the mean would be 3 top 100 per team), yet has won 4 consecutive AFC east. And he is on the “hot seat” because he sucks as a coach. Call me crazy, but something doesn’t fit here.

There was a pretty good debate as to whether Araiza was a better punter than Jordan Stout that year. Stout was better at many metrics, including net punting. Araiza had lesser hang time and more returned.

You guys know that’s really McDermott with a fake Boston accent, right?

If Bass is practicing to miss kicks, he doing pretty well… I think it’s a concern. If it’s the holder, I’d much rather have a holder who holds at 100% and punts at a 39 yd net than a holder who holds at a 50% clip and has a net average of 44 yds.

Ah, parrino and carpaccio may not be as good as Joe B, but I’m betting they make the PS.

$30-50 for an out of towner to watch a Bills game is sorta a bargain. Attending a game is $200+ for two tix. Another $30 for Uber or parking. Pregame or tailgate another $100. add in flight, rental car, hotel, and folding table and you’re near $1000 for two people. All in it $600+ per person if you’re from 6+ hrs away.

I was at the gym last night and I the Washington Defenders were playing. I thought WTF. They were relegated??

Gotta say that you yougns don’t have a realistic view of real estate. We bought a nice house in Getzville for $196K in 1992 (original owner was Ted Cotrell, Bills DC). Sold the house for $175K in 1999 when I relocated. My signing bonus more than covered the loss, but the lesson is that real estate doesn’t go straight up.

Chris Hogan. Lax, played on two winning Super Bowl teams.

Pro tip. Real wrestlers don’t do suplex.

This is terrific! I remember when that video came out during the pandemic. Whose the guy that looks like Cory from Trailer park boys?

Hmmm… call me crazy, but in dec, I think he’s gonna believe in shoes when walking from car to field house. Do boots count as shoes?

“A lot” is a pretty vague statement. 2 Bills players missed ota this week. Jones and Douglas. as defensive players, their main job is to disrupt timing. It’s a lot easier to disrupt timing than run a play where all involved need to have the timing correct. That’s why defense is usually ahead of offfense at the beginning of training camp. For Jones, as a 1T, his job is fairly clear. To hold his ground and eat up blockers, for the most part. He’s shown he knows how to do this, and do it well for the Bills. Douglas is a bit of a different story. I don’t think it’s good for him to miss camp. He’s fairly new in this defense, and I’m guessing that there are a bunch of coverage options that a boundary corner needs to know.

I don’t know. Call me crazy, but a WR skipping his first practice with a new QB isn’t just a bad look, it’s a missed opportunity to develop timing with your QB and learn a new offense. Completely different than Mccaffrey who has worked 3 seasons with the same qb and offense.

Cmon dude. The question was "how is MVS different than current Bills receivers". The answer is clear. He's a deep threat; the other arent (except for maybe KJ Hamler). No other Bills receiver averages more than 13 yds per catch, so a career avg of >17 ypc is clearly different than all the rest. This isnt a subtle finding. And the reason Hill averages only 13.8 ypc is he's a #1. A >150 target per year guy. He gets the short, mid, and long targets. MVS is only a mid/long guy. Will MVS be a success for the Bills ? I have no idea. But I'm pretty confident that any success he has wont be as a possession reciever.

The skill set that averages 17.5 yds per catch for his career, and 20+ yds per catch for his best year. No other Bills WR comes close to those numbers.

To be clear, that guy said Bishop and Carter AND still keep next years 1 and both 2s.
