Their coach tried to lose it for them lol

What

Brandon Staley turning it over on 4th and 1 on your own 25. elite coaching.

Did you see @BADOLBILZ tried to give you credit for the scarecrow comment? Broke my heart.

Did you vote for Eisenhower in the last election?

To keep you ***** guessing

Signing a big defensive FA from NE almost never works out and yet

Running up the score matters for rankings. Always has.

I would not. I think Diggs is a far superior weapon to just about all of them and that’s the most important thing. As great as Ekeler is as a pass catching RB, imo, that’s not the weapon that maximizes a big arm mobile QB. Ekeler is a great fantasy guy though.

Lol the obvious answer is “no,” which is why you won’t say it. Because the Bills have a better stable of weapons.

Not the option. Would you trade our weapons for theirs?

Would you trade the Bills weapons for the Chargers weapons?

Never? No. Do I think they need some statistically inefficient 50-50 balance because it sounds nice? Also no.

No it doesn’t. Chiefs were 25th in attempts last year. Taking the ball out of your star QB’s hands is a win for the defense, always. This is dinosaur mentality.

Lots of folks living 40 years in the past when it comes to ideas about running the football. The league rushing leader hasn’t made the postseason since 2020.

I wouldn’t trade the Bills weapons for the Chargers weapons this year, personally. I just don’t think his weapons fit his skill set perfectly. They have a lot of scat and short yardage guys. Chain movers. Herbert needs big play ability.

We threw it all the time because we have a superstar QB and running the ball is for the Mac Jones’ of the world.

Personally, I think Herbert’s talents are wasted a bit in his offense. I think in that Dolphins offense he would be even better than Tua. Alas.

Well by the same token, if you want to make an Allen/Herbert comparison, Herbert has the far worse coaching staff. I think everyone would agree. The Chargers are somehow WORSE than the sum of their parts which, at the NFL level, usually means coaching ineptitude. I would go as so far as to say that if you switched Staley and McD, we would probably very similar teams. That’s how bad Staley is. And a lot of folks give Herbert slack for having a bad HC. Some give him too much, in my opinion. But if you want to know the reason why Herbert hasn’t had MORE success than he has had, coaching is #1, #2 and #3 on the list.

Is the whole point of your topic that Justin Herbert isn’t as good as Allen or Mahomes? There are about 29 other QB’s who also aren’t as good as them.

Idk what the Chargers were thinking letting Hunter Henry go. He is ALWAYS productive and imo that’s a stable of weapons that would’ve helped Herbert even more. The main thing you are missing though Alpha, is that as Herbert’s weapons have broken down around him, he has won more. 6 wins to 9 wins to 10 wins over the last 3 seasons. So, as the talent has decreased around him, Herbert has had to compensate more and win MORE games. To your point that would Allen/Mahomes have won more, yes of course. But he isn’t Allen or Mahomes or Burrow. Those are the 3 best QBs in football. No way bro. Staley ain’t even in the same stratosphere as the Bills’ coaches.

I would switch out Denver 2020 to 49ers 2020. That was the "Josh Allen and the Bills offense has arrived and are legit" game, IMO. We had put up points on some weaker defenses, but we dominated those boys all game.

SUNY Amherst grad doing SUNY Amherst things.

I’m convinced that someone up top told him to stop or he was gonna be fired. I don’t mind aggression, particularly against great teams where you need a little boost to actually get the win. But this guy will go for it on 4th and 3 at his own 40 in the second Q, then in the 4th Q, he will punt on 4th and 2 on the opponent's 40. If you want to be an analytics guy, be an analytics guy all the time. He's not really an analytics guy at all, he's a "zig when everyone thinks you're gonna zag" guy, which is just a shade away from being an idiot.

Correct. If McD can’t make you serviceable as a CB, you must be legit awful.
