It's not all about stats. Hopkins is the far superior player.

Yup, that was my thread, but I'm happy that you are carrying the torch. The home performance issue is a huge issue for this team.

I kind of want to shell out $350 for a personalized message from TO, I admit.

I posted a new thread with the new article from the Buffalo News and it got locked again! Lol ?

Sad news! ? https://buffalonews.com/2020/01/02/buffalo-bills-steve-tasker-pro-football-hall-of-fame-nfl/

I think the Bills need to treat Watt like any other player unless/until he proves that he is healthy enough to disrupt the game. DO NOT devote extra resources to him! Do not allow fear of his presence to change the game plan.

And if he does play, he'll probably re-injure his groin as soon as he tries to go full go.

Great news! https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/01/01/levi-wallace-returns-to-practice-for-bills/

Agreed, but they need to figure something out to bring the same focus at home, something I believe is related to psychology as well. They don't get the benefit of "us against the world" at home, or they feel too comfortable, and it shows in their performance.

My primary issue is that they kept six (okay, five depending on your perspective) safeties for two safety spots and only four (five? see above) corners, several of whom had injury histories, for three corner spots. It's unusual around the league and for the Bills, and it led to this situation.

This is crazy. This means Gailey/Fitz have done their thing in Buffalo, New Jersey, and Miami. Only NE left!

Daboll said yesterday that there aren't enough hours in the day to prepare for playoff games. This necessarily takes away from preparation next week if the Bills advance.

Thanks! Bingo!

I addressed that early in the thread, although not in the OP: I've noted elsewhere in the thread that the Bills stockpiled safeties -- J. Johnson, Marlowe, Coleman -- who barely played, if at all. Going with so many backups there when there are only two starters, both of which have been very reliable and durable throughout their careers, while leaving CB so thin was very puzzling to me. Throw in the fact that T. Johnson and K. Johnson both had significant injury history, this was always an area of concern. They should have kept Gaines and/or Munnerlyn or some other veteran and let go of one or two of the extra safeties.

That's silly. The standard should be championship.

Wait a second. I think we'd all like to think it remains "Championship Caliber" next regular season, but don't I remember him doing this in 2017 too? Then it goes back to "Playoff Caliber" the next year. ?

Bell is awful. Without the best line in football opening gaping holes for him, he's below average.

Sal Capaccio just said he's concerned about our depth at corner and that we are thin at the position. But I'm a wacko, I know.

I want Henry only if he commits to getting rid of the turd sticking out of the back of his helmet on gamedays.

We'll see what happens in the game. Hopefully my concern is unfounded and we have no issues with depth. I say that seriously, not smugly. But if we end up seeing dynamic dudes flying past Siran Neal or similar, I'll be frustrated.

I remain thoroughly puzzled. It's hard for me to believe that any objective observer could look at the situation right now and feel comfortable with the depth at the cornerback position.
