    Maye looks a lot like Justin Herbert. I’m usually not super afraid when we have a matchup against Justin Herbert.

     

    I’m interested to see how this Pats team performs late in the season and in the playoffs when the weather gets bad, the coverage is tighter, the refs are letting more stuff go, and teams are desperate and playing for their season.

     

    Herbert hasn’t performed great in those circumstances, and I guess the jury is out on Maye and the Pats.

    My worry is that the Pats are a better team than the Chargers, and Vrabel is an excellent coach. I think Harbaugh might be overrated and washed.

    We didn't think that at the time. We complained about being one-dimensional and a lack of consistent high-level play from Josh Allen.  The OL was also a constant source of complaints. Again, I don't want to call posters for being "incorrect," especially in the heat of a post game thread after a bad loss. I'm using them the way a historian (which I am by graduate training) uses primary sources to get an idea of what public opinion was at the time. We know that the perfect game was in the future for that team. Nobody would have predicted that after the 9-6 loss to the Jags.

    You’re right, and maybe I have revisionist history. People will always complain, but I’d like to think I was fine with a “one dimensional” Allen led passing game. That’s what you do with an elite QB. People seemed to forget about Diggs in those years. Josh is incredible, but Diggs was a huge part of his ascent, and somehow people acted like Josh had no help those years. Now he doesn’t. Overall I agree, it’s easy to forget Daboll’s frenetic offense. I just think there needs to be a middle ground between that and “everybody eats”.

    Highlights are misleading. I'm negative right now too, but we forget how we felt in the past. We complained about the offense before, just highlighted the lack of a running game and Daboll's playcalling. Let's look at 2021's disasters. I already posted the Jags postgame thread in the Daboll thread, but here are a few more. I'm not going to single anyone out because this is not about posting receipts. What interests me is the primary source material of how we felt in the middle of what many remember as our best team of the Allen era.

     

    Here is the post-game thread after the wind game.

    Here is the post-game thread for the Colts blowout. A lot of people declared the season "OVER!!!" Remember, the Colts missed the playoffs that year. 

    I agree, we had some duds, but the offense was dominant when it clicked. My concern in 2025 is that James Cook needs to perform well for the offense to work. We don’t have receivers for Allen to take over a game. Unfortunately you might need that in the playoffs. We don’t have Diggs, Beasley, or even John Brown and Emmanuel Sanders. Those guys made a huge difference.

    I disagree completely. While they had 2 bad losses in 2021, the offense didn't  struggle like they have in many games this season. 

     

     

    Exactly, we had a few bad games, but the offense didn’t look limited. I know somewhere out there is a real football guy who might criticize my next thought. This offense was fun to watch in those years, yes we had some duds, but overall they were fun to watch. I don’t enjoy watching this offense in 2025, even when things are clicking. It’s a dull offense that’s almost college like in style meant to hide limitations. I don’t see that as championship football.

    Who was our WR's and How did Josh look compared to this year?    Apples and Hand Grenades is how different the 2021 and 2025 teams are.

    It’s sad but we have to hold our breath during practices this week.

    Interesting topic. I just got done watching highlights of the 2020-2022 Bills. The offense was a different beast then. I know Josh is the MVP, but the unleashed Josh was a different beast. The defense giving up points was also a theme during those years, and it’s frustrating when you have a “defensive” coach. It seems the defense always fails us, but we don’t have the offense to get hot at playoff time anymore.

    Daniel Jones looks better than he ever has without Brian daboll

     

    He has his own faults as a coach

    He does, my post didn’t mean to elevate Daboll. I’m saying Daboll is an experienced coach who is his own man. Brady is a young guy getting his first big opportunity. People in that position are more likely to follow leadership, and I think that’s what McD prefers.

    Don't know the player. Maybe he's a fit. Thumpers may no longer be viable, yet someone larger than the converted safety type would be nice. I'd like to get away from the athletic, but oft hurt model. 

    I agree, Milano is the perfect example. He’s had a great career here, yet is often unavailable when we need him most. Sometimes a guy with lesser talent can contribute more to a franchise solely by staying healthy.

    I've been to several stadiums.  You feel the energy more at a Bills home game than any other place.
    You literally feel energy and its unexplainable unless you're Nikola Tesla.

    I agree, energy is the big difference. It’s just a feeling, and much like the energy of a college crowd. It’s something you feel in the air, in the parking lot tailgate, and in the stadium. I know many Steelers fans for example. They care immensely about their team, but the game day energy isn’t the same anywhere else.

    Toronto fans might be the most underrated classless group of fans in sport.    Here they didn't sell out a game all regular season but they care so much to hang around and boo the trophy presentation.  I get it,  hockey set the bar for their behavior in other pro sports but it's just weak AF.

    Thought I was the only one who feels this way. Last time the Jays made a run they threw a bunch of bottles on the field. Somehow they manage to outdo Philly. It’s more than not having regular season sellouts, that place is practically empty most of the year.
