  1. Not arguing your historical accuracy, but as Beane would say, how exaclty has the offense suffered for it? I mean how many more points can they score? Place the blame where it belongs - the defense. You forgot $9.5M for Harty over 2 yrs. Harty and Samuel were not exaclty cheap deals but not super expensive either.
  2. No LB in the NFL can cover a RB or decent TE. The coverage LB is a total fallacy. Plus we play moslty zone nickel. They just need to occupy their zone and get to the deep middle in cover 2. Read and reacting is the skill most needed. That is what made Milano exceptional and what made Edmunds expendable. Size may or may not translate to durability but it doenst mean they can't play pass defense well. Post June 1 cut. Thank you for your service. Time to move on.
  3. Good point. I didnt see if he had more yards to gain on the long run.
  4. He switched the ball to his left and then sticks out his throwing hand!!!! I was screaming WTF before he even went out of bounds. There is a time and a yard to gain momentum- that was not it. I did love how after getting the first down inside the 5 facing two denders between him and the goal line, he hesitated thought about taking them on and then went out of bounds. He can learn.
  5. For all the people that say the refs screw the Bills, well the refs gifted us that win. It was clear pass interference in the end-zone on the last play. Refs just wanted the game to be over and they didnt throw a flag and walked off the field.
  6. All good points. Id be shocked they didnt have one and that they could not add one based on rules. But they also can't wear their socks the wrong way so you may be right. Josh has worn one before. Not sure if just in practice or in a game. Will be interesting to see if this is just temporary or if his wife will make him wear it permanently...lol
  7. They should have put one on right after he got hurt.
  8. Lol...maybe if Dak stays healthy he will pass him on the turnover list Its really remarkable how Allen first fixed his completion percentage and then cut his turnovers without sacrificing his scoring output! Best QB and best player in the league!!!
  9. Pretty sure he simultaneously lead the league in TDs scored and turnovers his first 6 years in the league. I think that was the stat thrown around alot. He cleaned up his turnovers in the playoffs. 25 TD passes to only 4 INT.
  10. I believe the article and others said luck related to fumbles. Not interceptions. Tiu can teach punching the ball out and how to protect against a fumble but at the ned of the day the recovery has a lot of lucky bounce involved. INTs are different. First of all if you are winning it forces the other team to throw more. Second pass rush does equate to more INTs. And of course the back 7 need to cover and catch the ball.
  11. Tua didnt play that game. It was their third string QB. Josh had two picks and a fumble that was returned for a TD letting the Fish back into in the second half. Bills D gave up 24. Diggs may have had his best playoff game as a Bill. Stats say Bills gave up 7 sacks. But Josh passed for over 350 and 3 TD carrying the Bills into the next round. 100% agree with this. Gisecki is gone too. He always seemed to come up with big catches against the Bills. That said New England was all over Tua. Should be able to get home with just rushing 4 and maybe even 3 at times with a clever stunt.
  12. Lol.. Bernard is as fast as Hyde, Poyer, and faster than Hamlin. Fyi, Ed Reed 40 time was 4.57. Pretty sure Kelso's 40 was measured with a sun dial though
  13. Move Bernard to safety. He is 6'1 224 pounds. He has crazy good instincts but he's just too small. Only extension I had an issue with. Edmunds is the only player that had prototypical NFL size and speed that we have had at LB. He was just too stupid to learn the position. As for right now, honestly Milano is probably the most easily replaced player on the entire defense. Its not a slight on him. He's been OK but ever since he came back from injury he hasn't been any better than Williams was last year.
  14. Allen is much better. He has dramatically cut down his fumbles. And Davis is not running the wrong routes...lol But dont discount luck too much. Allen has had two dropped INTs so far and the INT on the 2 pt conversion doesn't count in the stats. Cook fumble took a nice bounce.
  15. Agreed. Super physical defense Love is still a work in progress and is the type of QB that McDermott's defense can give him trouble. Bills defense by all accounts is confusing to read and Love will not have seen it before. At least I dont think he has played the Bills before.
  16. I don't think I've seen a special teams flag ever picked up.
  17. Its a great group of TEs. Best case scenario is Knox takes a pay cut for next season and we keep all three.
  18. Allen and Lewis were injured too Would not he surprised if Buffalo Joe ends up on injury report. He was holding his shoulder after the last kickoff coverage No. DE and DT
  19. Honestly wouldn't mind moving Bernard to OLB and letting Williams play MLB. I know in their base they are almost interchangeable. Bernard actually has some pass rush ability.
  20. This sucks. He was elite and injuroes have destroyed his career. I think Beane may have learned the lesson. The 2025 defensive players are actually NFL sized. 2026 draft will be defense heavy again. After WR which Beane will fail to address, Edge, S, and LB will all be top priorities.
  21. Pretty sure Saban won a few championships... Enjoy the wins but as you said, no SuperBowl championship and it is a major disappointment
  22. Beware the Chargers... I called it before the season started. They will win the AFC West and will play at Highmark for the AFC Championship
  23. Even the anti Lamar people on here would say he is far better than Fields
  24. I haven't seen the play he was injured. Was it oline fault or just bad luck?
