    I love how the Rooney rule requires teams to interview candidates of color. Liberal NFL at its finest. Hire the BEST candidate not someone based on color 

    There is nothing liberal about the NFL as an organization, they do what keeps the cash rolling in, that is the sole priority, everything else is lip service. The NFL will pretend to be anything as long as the owners get richer year after year.

    In addition to satisfying the Rooney Rule in order to promote Babich, this is probably some due diligence in the event Desai doesn't get another DC job.

     

    He could come here to rebuild his value a bit like Joe Brady did. 

    Do we want to be the place were guys who are questionable come to recreate themselves, or should we be going after better quality options? Both have potential, but success breeds success…,

    I travel a lot for work, Airports, restaurants, malls. This past year I saw Bills fans everywhere where I went. Trips to LA, Phoenix, Dallas, Ft Meyers, Ft. lauderdale Miami. Every trip i went on, I got a “Go Bills” or at least saw people, multiple people representing. This week, went through DC, Baltimore airport, Charlotte, finished up in West Palm Beach today. Saw one guy with a Bills hat all week. It was like people were embarrassed that we lost to KC again. 

    But really the worst thing that made me pause was the treatment and threats to Bass. How embarrassing and really down right dirty low class. I haven’t lived in Buffalo for a long time, and this was the first year I didn’t make it back for a visit. So what’s going on up there? I would hope it was just a small sample size of fans who acted out like that, but damn they were a serious black eye on the mafia. Cant tell you how many friends and co workers mentioned how nasty Bills fans are this week, Buy the end of the eeek i just gave up defending and had to agree to a point. 

     

     

    The answer is yes we are,

    their is always the ten percent of fans that peaked maturity wise as sophomores in high school, and that’s being kind, it would be nice to neuter or spay them so as to reduce the issue going forward…,

    How did we not make a Super Bowl: 

    https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/most-total-nfl-wins-last-5-years
     

    - second in wins

    - 5th in points/ game

    - 1st in points allowed/ game 

    - 3rd in first downs 

    - 2nd in 3rd down conversion %
     

    honestly, I have absolutely loved this ride. To have an amazing qb where playoffs are a given every year is such an amazing feeling. But man, a team with that resume should have made more than one championship game. 😢 


    just wanted to bum everyone out on a Saturday morning. 

    Nice thread, I would say the main culprit is scheme / play design and making adjustments on both sides of the ball, (coaches)  and a lack of difference makers / elite weapons on offense, for example, a killer #1b WR would make a gigantic difference jmo.

    Yes, but Davis’ reception percentage, drop rate, and interception issues stayed consistent poor his 4 years. 

    In the roll of a #3/4 he was useful, as a #2 he was in over his head skill set wise, Davis should never been put in the #2 spot, he was more useful when he was going against teams 3rd or 4th CBs,

    Now that the dust has settled, I’ve really looked at the statistical production of some of our guys. 
     

    I knew Shakir had a good year, then I really looked at his production. 
     

    He had a PHENOMENAL year. 
     

    39 catches and 2 TDs are decent numbers for a ‘#3 WR,’ but can we talk about his 86% catch rate? That is outstanding. Caught 10 of 12 in the playoffs for 2 more TDs as well. 
     

    282 Yards after catch? Love it.

    15+ yards per reception.

    133 QBR when targeted.

     

    Ready for this?

     

    45 targets. Zero interceptions when Allen looked his way. 
     

    57 targets when you add in the postseason. Still zero INTS.

     

    Fifty Seven targets. Zero drops. Zero. ZERO. Bills were in the bottom of the drop statistic this season. 
     

    I don’t think Shakir should come off the field. He’s the slot WR and should be the #2 WR target. 
     

    I’d love data on if he lined up outside when the team went to 2 WR sets after Gabe’s injury, or if he came off the field. 
     

    Shakir has shown BIG TIME potential, and it’s the little things that hint to it.

     

    Thoughts?

     

     

    🦬

    Remember when Davis was the third/fourth option, he was a potent part of our offense with good results, when he became the #2 not nearly as dangerous a weapon, mostly because he was planned for more frequently, and his lack of separation skill was exposed. Now Shakir is faster, twitchier, and gets separation far better than Davis ever has, so “potentially he has the skills to be better in the #2 role. It is my opinion that having big fast high quality route runner at #2 that will draw coverage away from Diggs, and will create one on one match ups with all our receiving option is the way to go, it give the offense a lot of flexibility in scheme and play design, and puts defenses in a pick your poison situation, and that can only be a good thing, jmo.

    It's only a matter of time before there's a sports scandal involving players bribed to throw a game.

    Yup, not that the NFL cares, the league/owners own the gambling houses, just as long as the money keeps rolling in.  It always amazes me that so many wage earners so eagerly give billionaires their money, (and not just through gambling),  being that the vast majority of gamblers lose to the house on a regular basis, oh well…,

  9. Special teams is the red headed step child of the NFL, no one likes their STs they are players that are not good at their primary roles, so ya get what ya got when it comes to this 1/10th of the team. Ya just hope they don’t totally Fuh k up when they are on the field.

    He said teams today talk about winning but they don’t want to give someone the authority to build the culture that’s necessary to win. He said they like their own culture and don’t want to change. Is that us? Do we just like what we have? Change is hard and takes work. Lombardi said majority of teams are just content to stay how they are and not put into the work to win.

    Humans being what we are…,  in any discipline there are only a few who don’t sit pat and truly are innovators,
