Chaos

I don’t buy much into the development myth. Who gets the credit for Allen in that narrative? Daboll? Because Daboll’s qb development success stories seem pretty much limited to Allen. having said that, Nate Hacket seems awful

This was a lot of work and a nice write up. But would “roster sucks” have been able to be corrected with the bigger checkbook?

In my opinion, there are two primary factors separating the drought era Bills teams from the Allen era Bills teams. The first and foremost is having Josh Allen as QB. The second factor which may be equally as important is having the financial resources to compete in free agency. Among the drought era coaches I think I liked Chan Gaily the best. I credit him with being the inventor of the Fitzmagic. It would have been interesting if he and Allen had aligned in time. I am not sure if any of the other drought era coaches would have been anymore interesting than the Allen era coaching staffs have been. How would others like to rewrite history?

I would like to see us a TJ Watt level pass rusher, a Patrick Surtain level CB, and an expericened all-pro WR. As well as a linebacker that holds Kelce to zero yards.

As far as the regular season is concerned, all the games are more or less equally important. Due to how bad the AFC east is outside of the Bills, the Bills are a near lock to make the playoffs. It would be nice if the Bills go assemble at least a two game winning streak in the playoffs.

My previous question was poorly word. I intended to ask where does Tua's contract average annual value end up, if the Dolphins tell him to test the market.

Where do people think Tua ends up if the Dolphins tell him "Test the Market"

Dolphins have not achieved meaningful success in the McDaniel - Tua era. In this case, its not clear they are "built to win now". Unless that means "Built to be a slightly above .500 club."

The Dolphins are faced with the decision on whether or not they can build a team better without Tua or with Tua. In the playoffs two years ago, the Dolphins nearly went the distance with the Bills with Skylar Thompson at QB. Tua is criticized at times as a "system QB". Since they did not draft a QB this year, I would assume they intend to stay with Tua, but I am not sure its a lock.

Do you think if the Bills first round draft pick had already had an injury, would we be seeing excuses for why the Bills can't win it all in 2024?

Most philosophical and ethical systems have a different opinion. Typically unless the law itself is immoral, it is immoral to not follow the law.

The Chiefs seem to be facing a lot of offseason issues. Does anyone think this impacts their chances to win in 2024?

Its almost like no one is old enough to remember when you only got to see the three games shown in your local market plus MNF. Oh, and there was a decent chance the home team game might be blacked out and not even one of the three games. People comment on these TV deals, as if there was a time when every NFL game was available to watch for free on TV.

This is correct. The following is questiontable: Fortunately, we have one of those too.

I think the title of this thread should be updated to : Is it time to worry about Marquez Valdes-Scantling ?

This idea that Allen picked Dorsey is insane. If the GM and Coach can't figure out who the OC should be, they should be out on the street tomorrow. As far as I can tell from McDermott and his apologists, every success of the Bills flows from his great talent, and all of the problems are someone elses fault.

The Bills are focused past 2024. They are not going to add anyone additional to the roster that has a cap hit that extends past the this upcoming season.

Bills blew another fourth quarter lead. Look up how many times the Chiefs have blown fourth quarter leads under Mahomes.

Allen threw for 4,306 yards in 2023. You are confident he will exceed last years total, but put 4500 yards at low odds. Your predicition is pretty precise, somewhere between 4307 and 4499 yards.

Its plausible for Kincaid to have 100 catches and 1000 yards.

maybe. But offense is not the reason we lose playoff games

We will never know if he is doing a good job or not. We will have zero insight into how many times McDermott ignores the advice.

Something can be funny without being witty. In the three hour roast, there was maybe 20 to 30 minutes or witty humor. Most of the rest was some version of shock humor. Which became repetitive. it’s not possible to call the fourth reference to Aaron Hernandez witty. But it is still possible to laugh. Many 6 years old laugh at the word “poop” every time they hear it. Much of the roasts humor was on that level.

The correct answer is, drum roll please, : Terrell Bernard

How many passing yards do you think the Bills will have in 2024? Whatever your answer, why does it matter which receivers get the yards?
