Shakir is easily #1. He put up BIG numbers the first year he stepped on the field for the Bills.

I think this is THE most concise summary of why we haven’t won a SB with Allen. Thanks

I agree with all of this. So I’d assume you were good with the D draft? The fact we have a top 5 RB doesn’t hurt. He’s no Barkley, but good enough?

So who’s covering him - Benford or Hairston?

Also - Jalen Hurts had less than 3,000 passing yards in 2024. How do we make sense of that?

I consider you a super knowledgeable poster. Maybe we’ve had a poll before on this, but i would value your opinion. In ranking what’s holding us back from a SB, is it: Coaching Defense Offense in playoff games OR has it been more specific: special teams Wide Receivers Defensive Line Secondary (Some people pointed to the running game in the past - pre-cook?) My take is that our scouting dept is good, but not great. We get some really good players, but if we had a few rookies drafted (including players now on their 2nd or 3rd year), that stepped up to be absolute studs, we could win it all. Such a jigsaw puzzle.

I agree that Brady has to use him as a vertical threat. Moore can definitely do it as he has done before and was arguably quite good at it. It’s on Brady’s shoulders to utilize both him and Palmer as vertical threats as and when needed. Jury is out on that as MVS obviously had the skills but didn’t fit into Bradys offense (and I really don’t have any complaints about Bradys offense). https://jetsxfactor.com/2021/11/23/elijah-moore-outside-wr-slot/

Moore is a vertical threat. He just hasn’t frequently been used that way on the teams he has been on. It’s not that he can’t do it, https://www.espn.com/blog/new-york-jets/post/_/id/90365/is-jets-elijah-moore-the-nfls-most-ignored-wide-receiver

Indeed. Josh and Hailey ice skating canalside, a snowball fight in Delaware park then some sledding and hot coca at Chestnut Ridge.

These are all good points. Let me just point out in regards to the persistent Coleman bashing: First year stats - Shakir had 10 catches for 161 and 1 TD…..He’s freaking terrible. Why did we even resign him?!?!?

Mods - this is a weird one. My apologies if this not is the right forum.

Or terrible QB’ng?

This is an excellent take. Kincaid was banged up too. Many people hammer him and just believe he’s plain not good. https://www.si.com/nfl/bills/news/source-provides-insight-into-dalton-kincaid-2024

I’m surprised how many people write off rookies after one year. I mean - Josh Allen wasn’t exactly lighting it up year one. Hell - go take a look at Eric Moulds first two years, he would have been absolutely trashed by TBD. I still have hope Keon can take a step forward this year, as well as Kincaid.

https://jetsxfactor.com/2021/11/23/elijah-moore-outside-wr-slot/ Maybe not? There a few other articles and posts regarding Moore being effective outside…..but wasn’t used as much in that role, esp in CLV. Hope springs eternal.
