  1. Context and reading comprehension can be important things to understand. My response was to someone who posited that Milano was the only intense guy on the team. I did not have to name all the others (Diggs, Hyde, Miller, Poyer, White, Hamlin, Milano). Will you be able to provide a list of a team of with 22 intense starters? What is the normal number of intense starters? I am pretty sure if your DC instructs you to play 10 yards off the LOS on a third and five, it becomes fairly tough to play intensely. Truth be told, I doubt anyone lasts more than a few plays as an NFL starter without being tough and intense. I think you are confuslng lack of talent with softness.
  2. I would suggest Josh Allen is as intense a player as any in the NFL.
  3. At this point of the polling, its Oline and coaching. The follow up question: Is this coaching/gm staff capable of fixing the Oline? Or are these two results connected?
  4. Here's the thing. Allen alone can compensate for the poor oline against all but the top teams. If we don't improve this unit, the season with be long in the sense we will make the playoffs, but it will be another tease season where we are back after the divisional playoff round discussing how the Bills get over the hump. If you are right, that will be the completion of McDermott's seventh season. How many head coaches get an 8th season without getting to a least one super bowl?
  5. This is a very fair point. Also I find it weird that people think Lawson brings the nasty, but Hyde, Poyer and Miller make the soft list.
  6. I am a huge Josh Allen fan. I think if you put him on any NFL team, the minimum expecation for that team would be to make the playoffs. The expectation for more than half the teams would be to advance to the divisional playoff round. For each of the current final four teams, the expecation if Allen was their QB would be super bowl appearance minimum. He is an NFL force of nature. On a long drive yesterday the people in the car were discussing what would have happened in each of our games in two different scenarios. One swap our components QB with Allen. The second scenario (separate from the first) is how would we have faired if we swapped game day coaches. This is an approximate summary of our discussion: We concluded swapping coaches would have likely resulted in the Bills winning the three regular season games we lost. We could not agree on whether swapping Taylor and McDermott alone, would have led to a playoff win for the Bills. I think it would have because I can't imagine Bills coaching figuring out how to defend Burrows with the make shift o line. But others thought we were so dominated that that would not have been enough. On the swap Allen alone side of the ledger, there were 8 games we felt the Bills actually won that we would have lost if QBs were swapped. We had some pretty bad QB opponents, and its hard to see the Frazier offense stopping Allen on most teams. People will certainly have different opinions. But I would be most interested in which specific games you disagree with our speculation. Side note: Bitter that the Bills are not playing today
  7. He is not going to play better. His production is already either 1-2 or 3 in the NFL by any measure. He does this under virtually constant duress We need to pray he continues to play at his current best-in-show level.
  8. Do people think McDermott agrees with this assesment ?
  9. To be fair, no thinks Micah Hyde, Von Miller or Jordan Poyer are soft.
  10. we need a defense that can hold the chiefs and bengals to 31 points. And an offense that can score 34 against the Chiefs and Bengals. we don't need the 85 bears on defense to accomplish this.
  11. Our coaching staff look like rookies much of the time.
  12. We just got stomped by the Bengals with not turnovers until late in the game when the outcome was already decided.
  13. 13 seconds debacle, probably wouldn't have been solved by a better oline.
  14. Only one can be most.
  15. QB is here for two reasons: 1) there are threads about Allen regressing, so it is a viewpoint of some posters (certainly not me the President of the Josh Allen fan club) and 2) Coach McDermott highlighted the need for improvement in the QB position at his post season press conference: McDermott said. “But we all, myself included, Josh [Allen], and the leaders of this football team, we all have to improve in certain areas to move this organization forward.” I can only assume you are the troll you fear. I don't think you know what "most" means.
  16. Poll intended to summarize the many "needs" threads
  17. There must be statisitics on his passer rating with a clean pocket. Pretty easy to extrapolate from that.
  18. An offense that only works when the QB is perfect has problems. Every credible observer in the world knows Allen is one of best 3 QBs in the NFL. Allen’s production is in the top 3 by any measure. Anyone who seriously thinks the improvement on offense includes upping Allen’s production falls into the not credible category.
  19. The lowered expectations will be easier to meet, ensuring a return of the same coaches for 2024 as well. Drop Josh Allen on almost any team in the NFL, and the expectations are that making the playoffs are automatic. Management and coaches are going to ride this horse for a decade, before a change is made. You can book it.
  20. All those dominating Patriots teams struck fear into people's hearts with their running game. People shake when the Chiefs come to town for their running game. So I see what you mean.
  21. The don't really need a consistent running game. They need a line that can pass block. Allen is an assasin when he has time.
  22. Given Beanes observation that 3 of the final four teams have QBs on rookie contract deals, I am looking for him to trade Josh for a bunch of draft picks and starting over with a new QB on a rookie contract and some new CBs and DL's
  23. 13 seconds was the worst coaching choke job in NFL history. It does not even have a close contender. The stomping the Bills took against Cincy was nother horific example of bad game coaching. But lots of teams have been stomped in the playoffs due to bad coaching. So not that big of a deal.
  24. this is the first logical step to becoming the Bills OC.
