Billl

Baltimore, KC, and SF were the three best defenses in the league last year.

Legette is intriguing to me because he’s a converted QB. Those guys tend to have an innate feel for getting open because they see the field the same way the QB does. Hines Ward, Julian Edelman, and Travis Kelce were/are always open, and I think having all been QBs played a part in that ability.

And? Let me know when he gets cuffed or taken anywhere. He’s going to show up with his attorney, go through whatever the process is in Texas, and go home. He’s not taking a ride in a police car or getting locked in a cell. Then again, maybe I’ll be wrong. I’m not a lawyer. I’m just a guy whose football predictions are consistently correct and insightful.

If Rice spends even one night in jail, I’ll come here and self flagellate over how wrong I was. Lord knows I am long overdue to be wrong about a football-related opinion. In the meantime, I’ll go on record. Rice spends zero nights in jail. He gets diversion and loses his license in TX for a year. 6 game suspension lowered to 4 on appeal.

Very Of course not. They should draft them at pick 10.

Not at all. The OP’s point was that the Bills would be better off spending money building a defense and letting Josh work with less expensive receivers. My post quoted people spiking the football after the Chiefs lost in the regular season due to poor offensive performances, yours included. Turns out ZV may have been onto something. I’ve said many times here that elite receivers are going to get theirs no matter who the QB is. There’s a case to be made that giving massive contracts to those guys when you’ve got a superstar QB is a waste of resources. But that has nothing to do with the posts I quoted which all amounted to “haha, Kansas City struggled offensively so clearly the OP is wrong”.

That’s BS. I wasn’t hostile nor insulting to anyone until people started calling me out. Is the rule here that Bills fans get to insult fans from other teams without response? New Era asked for my response to the events. My response was that he’s not going to serve jail time, and it didn’t impact the Super Bowl odds. In no way was I being an instigator.

You mean how you talk *****, and I respond in kind?

Certainly nobody can accuse the Bills of winning championships with their garbage character guys.

What’s changed? They’ll book him, and that will be that. This was always going to happen. I’m curious what you think this means for him. Go on record. Do you think he serves time? Will he play in the NFL this year?

Not sure what you think you’ve done here, but I said he was likely driving the Lambo, and he was.

I’m sure they’ll bury him under the prison, and the Chiefs will tear down the team and relocate to Portland. Before this happened, the Chiefs were the Superbowl favorites at +600. Now they’re the favorites at +550.

Maybe if it’s the other team that’s trading up.

The Chiefs scored 51 against the Rams in 2018. Prime Aaron Donald clearly wasn’t a dominant player. Of course, the Rams scored 54 largely because Chris Jones was similarly terrible.

He also misses more tackles than anyone in football. He’s a fantastic player, but he’s got his limitations.

Yes, he gets a ton more targets but he doesn’t put up all that much more production. In 2022, Metcalf had 50 more targets. He wound up with 200 more yards and one fewer TD than Davis. I’m pretty sure Davis could have equaled his yardage total had he been forcefed the ball the way Metcalf was. Last season, Metcalf had 30 more targets. He had 350 more yards and 1 more TD. So over the past 2 seasons, Metcalf has had 550 more yards and the same number of TDs on 80 more targets. I’m not trying to say that they’re equal players. Metcalf is significantly better than Davis, but the margin isn’t nearly as wide as people here think. DK is wildly over-rated here and Davis was always wildly under appreciated. Guys who put up 7 TDs a season don’t grow on trees.

The Bills are returning 11 TD receptions. They’ve added Curtis Samuel who caught 4. James Cook had 4, and he’s the only returning player who had more than 2. I don’t know that Johnson would have been the answer, but Beane had better figure something out because they’re also returning exactly 2 rushing TDs from players not named Josh Allen.

He’s not serving time in jail. What are you on about?

This is why I can’t understand why people criticize McDermott more than Beane. That is an abomination of a performance by a GM, but it’s the coach’s fault they can’t beat the Chiefs.

Every game thread, it’s “why does nobody cover Kelce, he’s always wide open”. Mahomes helps, but elite receivers get their numbers regardless. Metcalf is very good, but he’s nowhere near the hype just as Davis isn’t great, but he’s better than he gets credit for around here.

History says they would be pretty similar. He was elite with Alex Smith.

For their careers, Metcalf has a catch percentage of 60% with 8.6 yards per target. Davis is 55% with 9.1 yards per target. DK produces via volume of targets.

Not sure why it’s so hard to figure out given that it’s been proven out for years, but number 1 WRs get their numbers regardless of who the QB is. Adams and Hill went from Rodgers and Mahomes to Carr and Tua and their numbers didn’t regress whatsoever. DK is better than Gabe, but they’re a lot closer than people here realize.

81 targets for 45 catches, 746 yards, 7 TDS, 56% catch rate and 9.2 yards per target 119 targets for 66 catches, 1114 yards, 8 TDS, 56% catch rate and 9.4 yards per target That’s Gabe and DK.
