I've lived in the DC area 36 years now, and I can honestly say, that's the most accurate portrayal of Bills Mafia written by someone outside WNY.   Nice job.

Yeah, really good. I appreciate a well written article that seems to "get it" by an out of towner. Nice read.

If those 2 dress Duke won't.  They won't dress 7 WR.  They would dress Kroft (3 TEs) before that.

They may. It depends on the status of Diggs and Beasley. I think it's 90% they are both active. It's the playoffs. But that doesn't mean, especially in Beasley's case and a knee injury, that he will be able to grind the entire game and be his reliable self. It's quite possible no one will know that until midway through the game. That's why first Duke was activated for insurance.

 

But it also just happens that the Colts are most susceptible to mid range passes. And a little short on CBS. That is where Duke can help the team even if the other two are playing. Sure we have five guys in Diggs, Brown, Beasley, Davis and McKenzie but I expect to see a decent amount of 5 wide. I wouldn't bet on him being active but I wouldn't be surprised either.

Insurance 

beasley and Diggs will both start

a few five wide plays in the game plan

we will throw 40+ passes

i think Duke will see about 10 snaps

Seems to good to be true, so as a lifelong bills fan I’ve spent this week preparing myself for the worst. Good times. 

I have long believed and said that we are going to be crappy winners. Can't wait.

He quit on his players. He quit on 90% of his staff.

I was extremely happy. Hated him.
 

I think there was a direct correlation for Terry and Kim to go from Saint Doug to King Rex to the young prince.

Guys, I know what happened to Cole. He heard the ladies complaining about his split ends, and decided to take a week off so he could go to Beverly Hills for that new hair infusion treatment with avocado, mayonnaise, and tea tree extracts.

Sounds like manbunitis to me. Painful.

Beasley is either dead and they're just propping him up like "Weekend at Bernie's" or he might play this week.

 

It can only be one or the other.

Weekend at Beasley’s.
 

Or maybe Barkley’s if they’re really trying to hide it. 

[The theory of resting/playing your starters in a quasi-meaningless game.]

Josh only got hit once against the Pats and the few times he ran he barely got hit. He’s already had a week off. Plus they cannot beat the Dolphins in this game with Barkley. I say play the starters a few series and maybe a half.

Well, he did it at least once:

 

Still a lob by rag arm.

[WR Kenny Stills said to be visiting Buffalo (no confirmation he signed)]

Davis has been a very, very pleasant surprise for a 4th round pick. A lot of important catches for first downs. Several TDs. For someone without a ton of speed, he's gotten wide open a lot (because he is the 3rd and 4th look). That is inarguable.

 

Davis has also dropped a couple TDs, doesn't seem to track the ball that well yet downfield, or on the sidelines. Not yet.

 

Both of those things can be and are true. ]

 

He's also a great guy, teammate, smart, willing to work. He may be very good. He's productive now.

The sad part is, Barkley can't throw a bomb.

[WR Kenny Stills said to be visiting Buffalo (no confirmation he signed)]

The term "slot" is a little different when teams play wide formations these days. Sure, with four wide, two will be in "the slot" by definition. But often they are really wide, or really tight, or in the same place on the field that is normally an outside guy's place and route. The Bills play an interchangeable offense a lot of the time. Having a pure slot guy like Beasley is great, and he has had a terrific year. But all of our guys can and will play in the slot if Cole can't.

[Wildcard game slot receiver options]

All three of Diggs, Brown and Davis (surprisingly) know all three of the WR positions. If Beasley cannot go, all three of them will have plays out of the slot, as well as McKenzie, and when they go four or five wide, Stills.

Moulds is 47. He runs a 7.3 40. Evans is only 39 and runs a 6.1. Moulds was better but I think I take Lee for now.

Dr Chao, the former team doctor of the Chargers, and a great follow on twitter to keep up with injury news says likely a foot sprain and should be good to go for playoffs.

 

He doesn't bat 100%, but hes usually spot on, so I took that as good news.

Cue WEO.

[WR Kenny Stills said to be visiting Buffalo (no confirmation he signed)]

Yes, maybe they are thinking Diggs will play the slot but I doubt it. Stills is not a slot replacement for Beasley. More likely just the roster replacement for Kumerow. I like Stills though. And a speed lineup of Brown, Diggs and Still would be tough to guard, too.

agree

So name all the things you think they look at in deciding an MVP. If you think baseline stats is something they don't look at then your sadly mistaken. If you think that numbers is part of the equation then what's the other parts?

Of course they look at stats the most. Too much. That’s why I said “supposed to be.” By definition it should be a different concept but too often it’s slanted too much toward stats. That, by definition, should be more relevant to OPOY.
