It is well known that McDermott is one of the best at designing disguised coverages (Belichick I think called him "the best" at one point) but you gotta have smart players on the backend to make it go. That is one of the reasons I am far less chilled about safety than some are. Yes, it's just safety.... not a premium spot.... but if you don't have the right guys there in *this scheme* it forces you to be way more vanilla.
Seems tome Bills fans do not appreciate how with a McD defense, Poyer and Hyde, there has been next to zero broken coverages in years. No opponents scoring long TDs because of mix ups. The very few times it happened, Poyer and/or Hyde were injured. Yet we see such plays on highlights around the league nearly every week. A "bend but don't break" defense doesn't seem THAT appealing to fans, but it works! Bills have had very few blowout losses too. Almost all losses were close games.

I don't mind NFL suspending players, but not for "allegations". It should only be for convictions or video evidence IMO.

I don't mind the varied takes. I do mind the "Billsy" and choke labels thrown all the time. Go watch some YT videos of epic comebacks/fails and you'll see a LOT of other teams have had crazy heart breaking losses. Of course as Bills fans we don't care much about those ha ha, but to think only the Bills and a few select teams suffer those kind of losses is idiocy. I also dislike fans that find all the faults in the Bills but somehow think highly of other coaches and teams, even when they have similar or worse records! They are like nagging negative wives.
Now, a Superbowl win would cure everything. It just would. And I hope it happens! -

It's August. I have no worries in August. Just pure excitement and anticipation.
I agree with that... until the Milano injury.
Besides his obvious talent and contribution, he is FUN to watch. Sure, I want the Bills to win the SB, like NOW, this year. But who would care if the game was boring. Players like JA and Milano make it thrilling to watch.
-
Well this sucks. Bad. The guy is a star, period. And so fun to watch play too.
While all long injuries are always a huge letdown, getting injured outside of games has always felt extra wrong to me. Dude never played one down, not even in preseason. Yet he is out till at least december! With so many injuries in camp, WTH are they doing?

WR talent is so saturated that there isn’t a huge production difference between #1 and #30.
to me, I think that means you can win with mid guys
Chiefs just proved it. Remember without Tyreek they were supposed to be done? It doesn't mean it's THE winning formula ha ha. But salary cap is just a reality.

Any time the Bills have a 3rd and 1, I assume they are not going to get it. Doesn't matter where on the field they are.
Seems to me that with Josh, 3rd & 14 or 3rd & 7, same thing. His arm strength makes it as doable, and the Bills have been quite agressive in play selection compared to other teams that run the draw play half the time. But for 3rd and short? It seems the OLine hasn't had the push the best OLines have. Yet they have been much better last year IMO.

Bills' defense, not Allen's dense
But yeah. it's bit of a drag that the D has been quite porous come playoff time. Of course, they face much better teams but they have been a weak point.-

Watt brothers are right up there.
Why? At least they delivered on the field. JJ maybe not at the end of his career, but he was a super dominant force for the first 5 years.

As a guy from Québec who's been a Bills fan for decades and suffered the drought, I can say most outsiders love... the current winning team. Bandwagon jumpers. Bills ARE popular though. Josh Allen is a big reason why. Entertainment matters! Otherwise we'd be watching the best Paint Drying Watching champions.
But the fans and the vibe are also a huge plus. Bills fans are great. Miami - and all Florida teams - seem to have crappy fans in all sports. Not very attractive. There was a UFC yesterday in Abu Dhabi and wow was that crowd boring. It matters. -

I think Hill will make more money this season than all of the Bill's WRer's, TE's, and RB's combined.
For as good as he is, in a salary cap league, it makes no sense. Even as I hate tying it, the Chiefs obviously proved that point! They never came close to replacing Hill, yet won the SB regardless. I prefer the Bills situation to the Fins by far. And Tua is not worth all that cap space. Josh would be, not Tua.

I don’t get how Miami can be spending this much money on QB and 2 WRs without being in cap hell
This! I mean, they have the same cap. Impossible it will not affect the other positions.

He will be bankrupt by the time he's 40 unless he calls up durex or trojan and starts doing adds with him and his 20 kids.
Of course it's Tyreek him and quite hard to feel any shred of sympathy ha ha. But as MEN, or for anyt women with a sense of fairness, it should NOT be the case that is ever in financial danger because of this. Just quite poorer ha ha. It's ridiculous the payouts for so-called "child support", or to pretend he'll make NFL money forever. Laws make it insane to have kids except for welfare guys. How does that make any sense?
-
Not that it's bad, but it's soooo different. Like old stats and records now mean nothing.
Since it's more structured and short distances to cover, I pictured a lot less long returns. The chaos and long distances to cover of previous kickoffs made it happen sometimes.

Who really thought Josh Allen would be for real coming out of Wyoming?
Certainly not me.
I have the fact I barely watch college football on my side ha ha. All I knew is that there were 4 QBs with hype: Mayfield, Rosen, Allen, Darnold. And the Bills traded to move up and take JA at #7, with 2 QBs gone already. So I was thrilled. And for some reason, I liked him right away when he came to the stage, his demeanor, his interactions with fans. So I was onboard from day 1 ha ha. Ignorance is bliss.
I couldn't understand the "we picked the wrong Josh" crowd that actually wanted Allen to fail to boost their fragile egos! As a fan, you can be mad at the GM for the pick, but since JA was our QB, I was rooting 100% for him to be great, period. He has been even better. His running and leadership have been pleasant surprises.

I know I have appreciated that! Lots of pretty good teams have been beaten soundly, often times at home too. Not the JA-McD Bills

You are building a team. You can select Tua or Love, who do you take?
I'm just sooooo glad we didn't have to make that choice ha ha. JA17 beats them any given Sunday, or Monday, or Thursday

This hurts the Fish, so good! Tua is good, but not elite. Now they'll have a lot less for other top players. The only downside is the future price tag for Josh. People like to point ou how Mahomes has SB rings and Josh can't even get there. Now look at Tua and the money he got...

I don’t know if Milano will given his injury but he absolutely should be on that list
Of course but he won't be on the list, exactly because he didn't play much.

I think that this statistic more than most explains why the Bills are so fun to watch and that Josh Allen is an elite QB
On 3rd down, you never feel like the Bills can't convert. Josh Allen ALWAYS gives them a chance
Not only he made the Bills O fun to watch, but with his arm strength, it was clear for day 1 that with JA as QB, 3rd & 12 or 3rd & 7 were now basically the same odds.

With a least one, or say, two SuperBowl wins, no one would doubt JA17 as a top 3 QB, and as #1 for dual threat. So, yet another incentive for him to be part of a Superbowl winning Bills team
-
Unless there is video evidence like in the Ray Rice case (when the elevator footage came out weeks later though...), I don't like the NFL dishing out suspensions UNTIL the player is proven guilty. Allegations should never be enough.

It was a phrase that Gruden used frequently to call out anyone he thought was lying to him. Because he said it in an email to Upshaw, people took it as a racist statement. But I saw different people who knew Gruden defend him when he said tha
The mob has decided he is racist, so he is. Why let facts get in the way. BTW I'm not sure of the facts in this case anyway, just saying that to most people it doesn't matter, they just want to look all pure. And you know, some people can say racist insults yet not really be racists. And I'm sure it happens often on the field too. But hey, we have to be perfect now, the mob demands it.

I hope Josh will SHUT UP any WR that plays diva with a "gimme the ball" at any cost attitude. Diggs had the credentials and track record to (sadly) do it. None of the current WRs can do that. So Josh has to stop that in its tracks, before it grows. He has to be the uncontested boss. He's earned it.

Yeah. One could be a complete NFL bust, but burning 36M is another issue completely!

I mean, we basically want all Bills players to overperform.
Epenesa impressed with his long arms last year. He is a force if he uses that to continue batting balls down. His interceptions didn't seem a fluke, but a sign of things to come.And yes, if Von Miller comes back strong, great! I mean why wouldn't we root for any Bills player to be great? That's why I never understood the "fans'" bashing Josh Allen relentlessly as he wasn't "their right Josh". Who cares? He was the one the Bills selected. Just like I want Coleman to do well.
Do the Bills make the playoffs?

As usual, injuries will matter a lot, and a bit of luck. The team seems a tad weaker but lots of unproven players would be the more appropriate label. It could go in so many different ways that, hey, play the games and let's find out. Odds are not that great though for another 12-13 W season. If it happens, it's be great news as it means the new players are delivering the goods.
