    . Just let him be his best self.

    I think there is a real decision to be made on what is his best self.  If he is greenlighted to run at will, he is the most potent offensive weapon in the NFL, by a considerable margin. If he is reduced to be "only a passer", he is a top 5 QB, which is really nice too.  We have had the elements in place to win possibly win the super bowl each year if the NFL's best offensive weapon at QB. I am not sure we have the roster/coaching in place to win with "just" a top five QB. 

    I'm really starting to love this WR room. We quietly got better

    Oh I think it's very likely that there will be.......because there were so many talented one's that went after the Bills slotted pick in round 1.   Coleman was one of the younger and more raw of the top WR prospects.    

     

    But they went into the offseason needing at least a WR1 "B" quality player to help re-open up their increasingly lower-flying offense.   Then promptly traded away their 1100+ yard WR1 and replaced their sub-900 yard ceiling quality starting X/WR2 Gabe Davis with a guy in Samuel that the OC/HC have said they see as more of a gadget guy than a starting X or Z.   And then they went with one of the rawer day 1/day 2 prospects  in the draft and even decided not to hedge that bet and select another WR on day 2.    This has all been hashed out.   On paper they didn't do enough and aren't better at WR in 2024 than they were heading into 2023. 

    How many passing yards to you think Allen will throw for this season? Last season he threw for 4306.

    A distinction without much of a difference.  I'll rephrase my statement though:  back in the day when they were going to Super Bowls the Bills had plenty of preseason games in which the level of play was bad.

     

     

    Pretty big distinction. Your new point may be valid.  I would be lying if I could say I remember preseason games from the super bowl run.  One post in this thread said their recollection was that the starting offense typically came out, scored in 48 seconds, and then we called it a day.  So I am not sure if you recollection that the preseason games was ALL bad play like yesterday is true.

    Didn't the Bills have a combined 4 - 12 preseason record the years they went to 4 straight Super Bowls? 

    Haven't seen a single post in the thread concerned with losing. Lots of posts concerned with the level of play they saw.  Expectations were low for everyone. And for some the results were still below the expectations.

    Dynamic Kickoff Strategy?

    Of the 5 kicks the Bears hit to the landing zone, the Bills only returned 1 beyond the 30.  The only kick Bass didn't put in the endzone led to the Bears starting at the 19.

     

    It was to the kicking teams benefit 5 out of 6 times.  

    "meaningful".  Starting at the 25 (even the 19) is not particularly meaningful compared to the 30.  For example Jags had a 73 yard and a 45 yard kickoff return against the Chiefs.  Those are meaningful distadvantages to the kicking team.   The downside seems so much worse than the upside.

    But I'd be surprised if they keep force feeding McG at C, because he doesn't look like he belongs there and now you're downgrading two positions right where you need to block Chris Jones, Quinnen Williams, et al.

    I won't be surprised if they continue the McGovern experiment.  Its important to the Bill's head coach that he be thought of as clever and innovative.

    Dynamic Kickoff Strategy?

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted · Edited by Chaos

    While watching several pre-season games I did not notice any dynamic kick off returns that were stopped short of the 25 (with the exception a penalty).   As the kicking team, I can't imagine why I would ever put the ball in play with these rules.  I would plan to always have the offense start on the 30.  I feel like I am missing something.  What meaningful advantages does the kicking team have by putting the ball in play?
