Chaos

Houston already signed Ingraham

Turn on you sarcasm detector up.

The Bills have become the stealth franchise, quietly making the WR room better, building a secret elite offense, and now subtley improving the defense.

I hope you knew I was being sarcastic

Take that automatic win off of your calendar.

Slay was benched then cut by the team with the NFLs 31st ranked defense. And he may be 40 by the time he learns the complex defense we run. If he can in fact help, that would be great.

I am going to use a golf analogy. Josh Allen is peak Tiger Woods, able to do things no one else playing the game can do. No one advised peak Tiger. "Put the driver away, its not fun hitting further than everyone else and winning majors by double digit strokes" "what you oughta do is tee-off with a five iron. By doing this you will become the all time leader in fairways hit in regulation"

The Bills are currently sitting in the 7th seed spot. 1 game ahead of the Texans. The texans have the tie breaker. A couple of more wins is not likely enough 10 wins might take the AFC South. It will take the AFC North. But it is not clear 10 gets a wild card spot. Chargers, Colts, Texans all have a path to 10 wins that are not mutually exclusive, with it possible one or more of them gets to 11. Chief could win out for 11 (I don't thinkt they will, I think they are done). The Bills can't really need to win 3 out of five to be comfortably in a a wild card.

I cannot remember a Super Bowl champions who entire offense relied on the QB (with all due respect to James Cook). And a team whose defensive strategy relied on the QB sustaining long drive after long drive to keep the defense off the field.

This post shows a remarkable lack of knowledge combined with very poor reading comprehension skills. 1) Brees won a super bowl - this is all we want . one super bowl. Payton did not squander his career 2) Rodgers won a super bowl. Later Rodgers forced a partiing with the team because he did in fact feel as though the rest of his career had been/was being squandered. 3) the issue of Marino and Shula was addressed in my initial post on the subject.. If McDermott had led the team to an undefeated season and a Super Bowl win, people might feel differently now. 4) Reeves did waste 9 years of Elway's career. Heavily discussed during that nine year span. Then Reeves was fired. Elway won the super bowl for the first time two years later. 5)McNabb is not even close to the leve of Elway/ Rodgers/Marino/ Allen. It like saying Marvin Lewis squandered Carson Palmer's career.

As Bills fans well know this is not a thing. Has never been a thing. Or we would be recollecting the championships won by OJ Simpson.

Vrabel did not squander half of a great QB's career. Vrabel did not embarrass himself with anything like the 13 second debacle, as part of that squandering process. So I will go with this Vrabel is not a proven coaching champion. Neither is McDermott.

I just want to clariy this for everyone. Maye is not the player Allen is. Maybe someday but not now.

Cook has 5 more carries this season than Taylor (231 to 226) though. Only McCafferty has more than Cook with 237.

Imposing your will on the Steelers is different than say imposing your will on the Texans. Bills have been imposing their will on bad teams for many years now. Not much experience on imposing their will past the WC round of playoffs.

Cook is very good. But I am not sure he is the best RB on the team. If I need 1 yard on fourth and one, or a guy to plow through the defense for an 11 yard TD run , to set the all time team record for rushing TDs, I am turning to #17.

Pederson won a super bowl as Eagles head coach. None of the others you list ever had a great QB.

I would be rid of Tomlin and Harbaugh if I owned the Steelers or Ravens.

To be fair, some might consider the often injured lamar jackson to be just as impactful.

The last QB as impactful as Allen to not win a Super Bowl was Dan Marino. Its a pretty rare situation. Given his past history the Dolphins were never going to fire Don Shula. Sean McDermott has not earned the forebearance that Don Shula earned. In reality this is a unique situation in the history of the NFL.

Sure you can. In this case, I assume equal will, and still give the Bills a 90% win rate in each game.

He was pretty decent last night.

The math does not make winning out seem likely. Lets aggressively assume the bills are 90% likely to win all the games except that Patriots game and the liklihood in the patriots game is 60% the Bills will win. 90% x 60% x 90% x 90% x 90% = 39% probability of winning out based on the agressive paramaters given. Then assuming we are wild card in the playoffs, and it would take three road wins and a neutral site win to win the super bowl. Even though the Bills road playoff history assumes we might not be favored in any road games, lets assume the bills have a 70% chance to win each of the four games. 70% x 70% x 70% 70% = 24%. having to win three instead of four is such a huge advantage for the #1 seed. Add on the guarantee of playing the lowest remaing seed in the two playoff games, and the extra week rest and prep time, it is just gigantic. In a year where no AFC team is standing out, the team that gets the #1 seed is probably the favorite to go to the super bowl.

Brings up the interesting issue, if big contracts should be used on tackles, or if those are positions you can utilize lesser paid players.

seems he got kneed a little lower than that, and got them knocked off.
