Chaos

In a rationale market it would not depopulate, property prices would simply decline to a level, that allows the owners to pay appropriate insurance premiums.

The top 1 NFC team is all that matters for the AFC teams at this point. But I think having a bunch of doormats in the AFC, means it is the overall weaker division at this time. The bills certainly benefitted from being in the biggest doormat division.

Josh Allen was always going to succeed. There may have been another round of fools, as he saw coming out of high school and JUCO. But Allen's work ethic, intelligence and talent were always going to lead him to success.

It works the other way too. There are 29 NFL HOF QBs 25 of them played for a hall of fame coach. 3 of the other four played for coaches who still may yet be added to the hall of fame (semi-finalists and finalists in past votes. The only QB in the hall of fame who never played for a future Hall of Fame (or near HOF) coach was Warren Moon. Holgrem is almost certain. Hard to understand why Shanahan is left out. Buddy Parker is an old-time, so don't have an opinion, but he did make it as a finalist in voting once.

NFC won almost 60% of the head to head matchups this year. https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/afc-vs-nfc-record-year-by-year-all-teams-grouped-by-conference-last-20-years The common narrative that the AFC is better than the NFC may be a bit outdated.

Takes both

The current system is broken. So is this proposal. In the NFC this year, the 14-3 Vikings would have to play two more playoff games than the 14-3 eagles.

That is because no capitol police shot unarmed people

Seeing the end of the despotic Biden and Trudeau regimes at the same time reminds me of the Berlin Wall being torn down. let Freedom ring.

Very impressive statistical. It truly is an outlier in the history of the NFL. Also probably less important that people think. In the modern NFL a punt is not much different than a turnover against the stronger teams. NFL games are not nearly as much about field position as they were even 30 years ago. The 15-1 Chiefs were 11th in turnover differential. The Chiefs were #1 in points scored per drive minus pts allowed per drive. Stops are not as dramatic as turnovers. But nearly as effective.

Mayo seemed like a jerk. Team didn't improve a lick during the season. Didn't show anything warranting wasting Mayo for an extended period of time. Their are simply better options.

This reminds me of the Broncos firing Nate Hackett or Jags firing Urban Meyers. Bad hire. Move on.

NFL organizations are faced with tough decisions. Depends on the framing of the issue. If the judgement is "Vrabel is better than Mayo" and the judgement is "Its not or never for Vrabel", then its not a dysfunctional decision to replace him. The patriots don't exist to give Mayo a chance to "prove himself". Vrabel iwhtout the benefit of a Top QB, made it to the playoffs a handful of times, losing to the Chiefs, and Bengals and Ravens. Once in a championship game. If he had been a Bills coach this track record would be considered irreplaceable by many Bills fans.

hate it when completely different topics get bizzarely merged

Mayo seems to be an ass. Don't feel bad for him.

21-0. Going to be the Broncos for the WC. What's your prognosis?

as a bonus, the seeds of a QB controversy were planted.

Backups on defense have the cadence down.

Backup linemen probably don't make it easier

its wild people want to discuss the Bengals Steelers game, and not reference the Bills at all. The best team to play in the first round is probably the inept dolphins.

Tee Martin. Hurt the Raven's.

yes

Excellent summary. Your post should be pinned to the top of the page, and all posts discussing defense of the Bills closed for the time being.
