Chaos

This post is moronic.

I have often wondered how important Jerry Rice was to Joe Montana and Steve Young. Not many teams have back to back HOF QBs. Both were great QBs, but Rice is arguably the best ever at his position.

The stupid is strong in this thread.

Kind of impossible. Ravens get two agains the bengals. Whereas the bengals get two against ravens.

Bills fans are so scarred from having dismal drafts that a middle of the pack draft feels like something that only a football Einstein could ever pull together. I think that main think to note is most teams have decent drafts.

Natural is overrated. Crapping indoors isn't natural either. But its been a pretty good thing for improving civilization.

feel free to argue on the use of the word "most" but combine co-habitation with half of marriages ending and divorce (and talk to some twenty somethings) and you will realize that getting married is considered something to "see if it works out", not "something we have to make work". I wish it weren't so.

Since the 1970's the majority of marriages have been temporary. Today's young people don't even have a notion of marriage being a big commitment. It wasn't for their parents or their grandparents generation at this point. They are following our actions.

I thought both of Mahomes very bad interceptions counted as interceptions in the super bowl. Mahomes had some very head scratching plays in that game.

His stats suggest his 2019 season was fairly good. If he were to repeat those stats, decent chance he could end up in the super bowl.

To me, the best NFL stats are situational stats. For example. An RB averaging 5 yards on third and 10, and average 3 yards on first and ten then an RB who averages 4.5 yards per carrying in both of those situations. Stats are very important, but in the NFL, the infamous "eye test" does have a bearing on the review. The stat I want to see is "drive-killing drops." All drops suck, but if a pass-catcher drops a check down at the line of scrimmage on first and 10, that is far less frustrating to see than a player dropping a well-thrown ball 15 yards up the field on 3rd and 10. The second instance is nearly as bad as a turnover. Does anyone know if such a stat is tracked by PFF or someone else?

love Josh Allen. Think he will be great. Patrick Mahomes will also be great The super bowl was not the best I have seen Mahomes play. Regarding "has more weapons". Kelce and Watkins both made plays in that game that kept drives alive that no bills receiver would have made. Mahome consisently through behind Kelce, whose ability to adjust is amazing. Three drive saving plays is a huge number in a game.

Bold part needs to be fixed.

That is a sad tier. I am glad Reid moved past it. Marty was a great coach. Shame he is the name of a level now.

Andy Reid is a good coach. He had 10 playoff wins before winning a super bowl (this included 3 playoff wins in his first 3 seasons). To date McDermott has zero playoff wins in his first three seasons. The Bills have achieved the "Marvin Lewis" success tier. There are a couple of more levels before Super Bowl winner. 40-1 sounds about right.

During the game, in the shoutbox, I mentioned I thought the niners were the NFC version of the Bills. It was fricking eerie.

He was named to the team, OP's question is why did he not attend?

Its is not clear to me how dependent the Mahomes brand is on winning. If he is able to make more money on endorsements than on football,. like a Tiger Woods type player, his contract might very well be less than people think, in order to make sure the talent surrounding him remains good enough to win. Brady's willingness to play for less has been a distinct patriots advantage (I am aware Brady has a uniquely high earning wife among NFL QBs). Would Aaron Rodgers or Drew Brees have four or five Rings, if they had played for Brady's money. Mahomes' amazing national popularity and high level of charisma makes him in a different position to earn money away from his direct QB compensation than most.

Not sure what the officially legacy source of "all-pro" is. But from 1993 to 1990 there were 6 seasons some group picked him as a first or second team all-pro. Also, Pro Football Weekly (PFW) named Long as one of the ends on its All-time 3-4 defensive front, along with Lee Roy Selmon, Curley Culp, Lawrence Taylor, Andre Tippett, Randy Gradishar, and Harry Carson. PFW based its "Ultimate 3-4" team on the vote of over 40 former NFL players, coaches, and scouts.[7] Of this list, all but Gradishar are in the Hall. Howie Long has legitimate credentials to be in the HOF, based on being one of the best players at his position throughout a long NFL career.

This is really creative and impressive. I am quite jealous.

Daboll is, at best, a mediocre play designer. People blame his play-calling typically when criticizing him, but his basic plays are straightforward to diagnose and defend. When the Bills defense gets beat on a pass play, it is not because of some superior throws into a tight window, its because the receivers are wide open. Poor play design is the reason the Bills abandoned the ineffective screen plays, and the reason we have fewer wide-open receivers than other teams.

It makes zero sense that you get fewer weapons and less offensive support to go with the guy with the lesser college experience.

The way rookie contracts work, there is a limited amount of time. Compare the Chiefs in year 2 of Mahomes and the Bills in year 2 of Allen. Or compare year 2 for Lamar Jackson to year 2 of Allen.

My daughter got to participate in the Punt Pass and Kick competition as an eight year old when the Flutie and Johnson debate was ongoing. The kids were all given Johnson jerseys to wear. Until half time, all of the kids who participated sat together as a group. At the half she came back to our seats and very nonchalantly sat down and said "not sure why the gave us these Jersey's, Johnson sucks". This was not a word we had heard her use before, so we always assume she picked it up from the older kids. But we chuckled often about that.

Not a player, but hands down Russ Brandon for anyone connected to the Bills. As a player Ryan Fitzpatrick. (Personally he seems like a great guy, and I expect him to be a better commentator than Tony Romo someday). But as a player the moment he signed the big contract, I knew the team was being set back badly. Similarly, EJ Manuel is a close second. there was nothing to root for there, and the team just kept chasing bad decisions after bad decision to try to make Manuel something he was not. As a person EJ also seems like a good guy. But it was brutal having him as a QB.
