I can see your points but according to https://www.pro-football-reference.com last year Brown caught 43.2% of his targets, Jones caught 54.9% of his targets, soooo if you throw each one 100 times Brown equals 100 X 15 X 43.2% which is roughly equal to 648 yards, to Jones equals 100 X 11.7 X 54.9% is roughly 642.33 yards. I'm sorry I just don't see that much of a difference.
Anybody with Jackson throwing a long ball to them will be lucky to catch 50%.

I would be absolutely shocked this year if the Bills finished with 6 wins. Allen would have to play worse than he did last year for that to happen IMO. The schedule is favorable for the first time I can remember. Jets x2, Dolphins x2, Giants, Bengals, Redskins, Broncos, Ravens, Steelers. All games against teams that have serious question marks. It is not far fetched that Buffalo faces Fitzpatrick, Rosen, Jones, Dalton, Haskins, Flacco, Lamar Jackson and the corpse of Ben Rothlisberger.
If you polled Jets fans, they have Buffalo under the easy win tab as well. The Dolphins, I agree, but one never knows with division rivals. Broncos, Ravens, Steelers are all just as good if not better teams than the Bills. Tend to see a game or 2 where you should win and don't, so im not going to be suprised to see losses to the Giants (Barkley more accurately), the skins or the Bengals.
Allen still doesn't have a lot of receiving weapons, so Im not 100% excited for him. Beasley, if healthy, should have a lot of catches, the rest is pretty unknown.

Lots of optimism here...
I can't vote from my phone, but I would be in the 6-7 camp.

The guy was on the streets and got the call to come in, how much more of a wake up call do you need? He had to make it here or there was NO guarantee he was getting back in the league. He better be focused and happy to have a job, most of his QB draft class is already working in another field. Im happy for him, think he's probably a top 5 back up right now, but he's invhes from being out of the league completely, he has to embrace the suck and hope to hang on for 5-10 more years if hes lucky. If he does, great career and living, if not, hes still made a lot of money in real world terms, in a short span.

As to our gameplan, well, I want to see how Darnold does in week 3, but right now it seems like the best answer there is to keep applying interior pressure. With Bell, they would need to be aggressive at the line, but I trust our secondary to keep pace with their receivers.
From the Jets fans, their secondary is attrocious. I suspect that they will be putting extra coverage on Beasley, so I would challenge them on the edges early. We saw in week 1 that Allen can change plays at the line to take advantage of John Brown and the cushion he gets.
They can't roll coverage to Beasley without being exposed on the outside, he's going to have room to work all year. Brown and Foster are too much risk to worry about the 6 yard pick ups.

Any given Sunday... buuuut I feel the Jets are in for a miserable season. I could see the entire AFC East combined not winng as many games as the Pats too, so who knows. So many "ifs" this year. Bills and Jets are both kinda wild cards.

Harry was only worried because he knows he's a bust and will never get a fat second contract...
In all seriousness, I'm kind of surprised by the comments in here about bill splitting being taboo. In my experience, that's what most people do, at least around here in my area.
With our friends, we just throw a card in and split it, sometimes you pay more, sometimes a little less, but it's not about the food or the money, its the enjoyment and time with people. We are all in it together, don't sweat the small stuff.
In my experience, those who want to split to the penny, either don't have the money to be risking it or sometimes are just *****. If you dont have it, I get it, I'd ask the server to put the apps or drinks on me, split the rest, usually handles the issue.

Hopefully he can stick and develop here, looks like he has the talent to be a big contributor.

I'll buy your beer at the parade if it comes under McD.

If you ignore all the positives and progress the team has made, then you are correct. He's done nothing.
I'm sorry, but one seasonal blip where the ball ALWAYS bounced your way somehow, and you won a couple extra games does. It spell progress when the next year you returned right back to mediocre. Blame it on the QB, but HE MADE THE CALL on starting Peterman and not bothering to hold on to McCarron. That forced the rookie who wasnt supposed to play into the spot light and it was his D that got blown out 4 games of the season..
Culture, yes he has something going.
Results, no.

Have to be happy for him and Infeel like he gave them a little break for giving him an opportunity. It was a big risk to take him so high, it eventually paid off, good for both of them.

Why do all haters say this, like it makes being such a downer all okay? So if the Bills win a Super Bowl you'll be a bigger man and come around?
I'm not a believer in McD, not a downer. I'm pumped for the season, hopeful the jump comes and we get to enjoy the post season in a real way this year. My personal opinion is McD has done a hot pile of nothing so far. He has continually struggled with clock management, in game decisions, challenges and in game adjustments ( though in theory we can blame coordinators for that, I still blame their boss for not calling for them). He seems to be great at building a culture and reasonably good at defensive scheming, particularly with the secondary. His incompetence in recognizing offensive talent lead to No Maholmes or Watson, Zay over Juju and leaves us still begging the question, is Allen THE man or are we looking at more mediocrity for the media to beat on?

Gotta give McDermott at least 4 seasons, IMO.
I think they will, but I also feel the days of "rebuilding" are dead, everyone is expected to perform NOW. That applies to players, coaches, front office. There isn't a 4 year window anymore. Qbs are thrown in the fire, might be given 2 years to be pretty solid with a lot if promise, used to be 3 years was supposed to be the "start" of success. Examples like the Eagles and the Rams have made it appear you csn turn a team from mediocre to Superbowl teams in a year. Obviously, its not that easy, but it doesn't change the perception.

McD is 10-15 since that start in 2017 and over those games his team has been outscored by almost 200 points. Not to mention, 8 of those 15 losses were blowouts.
PF / PA
2017: 151-244 (weeks 7 thru 17)
2018: 269-374
People also tend to forget that at the 2018 mid-season, Buffalo's offense was among the league's worst since rule changes to favor passing were implemented in 1978. Through 9 games they'd scored all of 96 points.
In most cities, being .500 or within 1 win and missing the playoffs in year 3 gets you fired. Despite the track record, I doubt T/K Pegs would fire McD. They want to avoid the hiring process given the HC hires for both their teams.
I agree, I have been saying it quite a bit, this team gets destroyed on a pretty regular basis.. That should not happen. New England loses some games, but its very rare they are severly beaten down. The team lost by 2td or more 4 times last year alone and most of the wins were by a score or less. The talent is weak, I get it. BUT, back to a great coach, which should be the goal, NE has had some horrible Defensive teams and a lot of scrap heap offensive players too and they are the undisputed king of football.. I haven't seen any indication McClappy is taking this team anywhere great. If they hit bottom again, he should go. If he fufills every homer's dream and wins the division, then Im happy to be wrong.
-
If they go 4-12, he should be fired. 19 - 29 for 3 years ain't gonna cut it. Unless Beane has some serious Beans, I think McClappy is here on a Marvin Lewis type term.

I would be happy with same lat picks for out too many TEs and WRs (never thought I would say that a year ago).
Its quite the turn of events. The question really becomes, do any of them have trade value? I think McKenzie, Zay and Foster would have some, doubtful on any others. Zay may make too much for his production though, so that may make him tough to trade.

I think Lee Smith will be dealt for a late round pick. Sweeney is making too much noise to cut him. The other guys arent going anywhere.
One of Wrs is in for the same fate.

I somewhat agree to the point of playing your vertern starters very little. I think the Jets are makingna mistake not putting Bell out there, out of the league fir a year and in a whole new scheme and hes just going to turn it on? I don't buy it.
For this team, the only guys who have nothing to prove have retired, the last was Kyle Williams.
There isn't a single guy on this team thats absolutely set in stone, doesn't need reps. Don't give me any of your ***** about the guys in the secondary, they are good, not great and they have to function as a unit, so no Trey and Hyde aren't getting any pass either.
Allen is raw, the antique running backs need to show they still have game speed, the rook and Yeldon have to show they belong, everyone blocking has a job to earn, anyone catching certainly does too.
How do you evaluate without seeing them in live action? Coming into camp, this team has zero top 100 players, and only Allen, White, Hyde had a virtual guaranteed starting roll. I'd argue, Hughes is older and not a guarantee, RBs all at risk, WRs had to shake out, and who else is there that could even be seen as a lock or isn't coming in brand new?

It will be interesting to see how much abuse Murry is willing to take before he bails for baseball if things arent going well.

Josh Allen must have been spotted wearing a MAGA hat, it's usually the only way to garner so much hate without any facts.
I'm a skeptic on Allen, genuinely, it's in my nature to look for the truth, not the fantasy. He played reasonably well in the second half last year and honestly, he should have been treated like Maholmes and we would have never seen him on the field until the last game or two. The Bills were piss poor in managing the QB situation last year. They gave whoever they ran out there virtually zero talent to throw to, evident by the fact Zay Jones was your number one WR and fans are asking if he should be cut/traded befire this season. The entire line MINUS ONE player was replaced. The top 2 WRs replaced, top 3 TEs replaced, and don't forget he didn't have a run game, he lead the team in rushing, come on man, if that isn't evidence the kid was given the bone, you're blind.
On to performance, he was pretty mediocre, but he did enough to win some games in the NFL, with garbage talent around him. Did he go into the offseason with a lot to work on? Yep. Realistically, of the other rookies, only Mayfield out played him, and Mayfield had a really great season, good for him.
To rank guys who have taken zero NFL snaps ahead of him is to say that every rookie QB is a success. To have Rosen ahead of him is to say, a guy who was so bad, after being taken 10th overall and leading your team to the worst record in the NFL, he was dumped for a low second round pick and we'll find excuses as to why Fitzpatrick won't let him on the field over acknowledging Allen has shown more. To say Jackson is better is basicallt to say you like the story better.. I'm leaving that one right there. To put Murry over him after 2 preseason games, where he was wildly inconsistent is to say you expect more out of Murry, based off his colege film, there's nothing else to go on.
End of the day, it's all speculative, subjective, bull####. I'm saying it again, I don't have a lot of faith in taking the backyard mentaility out of Allen and having him become an accurate pocket passer and I hope I'm dead wrong. I do suspect, if he stays healthy, he will be in the Probowl conversation this year, he's going to be exciting and sometimes, down right infuriating, but he'll put this team on his back in enough games to make people pay attention. He's an absolute monster out there. His biggest hurdle is to show he can be consistent enough with ball placement and decision making to not cost you a lot of games, while still being able to sling it enough to win the ones most guys can't . My biggest fear with him is he turns out to be a hybrid of Farve and Fitz, ballsy enough to make any throw and smart enough to know how to shred you when it isn't tight quarters, but not quite good enough with ball placement when they MAKE you beat them. The guy that can wow you for spirts and not be able to throw his way out of a wet paper bag for others.. Thats the roller coaster he has to avoid.

I don't understand the point of cutting him. Would I love to see him leave the division so he can't take shots at our franchise QB? Absolutely. But I don't understand why they would do it.
It saves them literally nothing against the cap.
Would you light 4M in cash on fire?

Nope. Ryan Shazier comes to mind. If he goes out and plays, gets hurt either the next contract is smaller or it may never come. Its a matter of guaranteed money, 15 vs 60M
