    why do you say he won’t be missed? 
     

    Addison had a sneakily good season this year— 7 sacks.  This, even though, we have a pretty deep rotation.

     

    i think the Bills got exactly what they wanted out of Addison production wise. 

    He's invisible on the field, awful, little pressure, and also grades out poorly on PFF so my eyes don't lie. 

     

    With the draft picks we have invested those kids will make you forget him in a hurry. 

     

    He's a vastly overpaid rotational player hence why they essentially terminated his contract this offseason after signing him just the year prior.

    Addison is $2 million cap hit next year, $2 million dead cap if we cut him.  No money saved by cutting him.  I'm not certain he is technically under contract next season. No base salary, just signing bonus.

    The Bills restructured him in the offseason voiding the final year of his deal and leaving a $2MM cap charge for 2022, while saving money in 2021.

     

    He's gone after this year and will not be missed.

    Beane got a 6th for a guy who was not making the team.  He rarely dressed for Carolina.  It was a steal.  Something instead of nothing.  Like bodine for a 6th to New England.

    ...and the 5th rounder for Teller after drafting him in the 5th the year prior... 

  3. Analytics are good but often misunderstood and applied incorrectly. Analytics themselves don't tell you want to do, they give you additional detailed information that will need to be considered within context of the data and the application for which they are being used.  

     

    Game situation, assessment of current player performance within the game and current series, weather, matchups, etc all still apply.  

     

    Everyone wants to put a single number to everything that tells them what to do but that's not how analytics work, although that's how they are often used especially during a broadcast. 

     

    Nothing drives me more nuts when they (the broadcast) flash a stupid single number on the screen and say you have a 58% chance here you should go for it, that generalized single figure isn't exactly applicable to the particular situation.  But most likely the teams are using it in the proper context, it's just the talking heads that aren't.

  4. Excellent depth.  Large with length can have him inside or outside to rush.  Never had big sack numbers but was a solid rotational guy that could disrupt, had 13 TFL and 18 QB Hits his last year here, would be good for 2nd and 1st on the team this year despite the extra game (Milano leads with 15 TFL this year).

     

    Need depth guys like this.

    That sounds like a story that HE would want out there 

    I didn’t say he didn’t coach him “at all”. He coached him for one year and for one half of one actual college game. I just don’t see it as some ultra connection to Miami. 

    Tua was successful in college coming up in Dabols system, with Dabol coaching him.  Dabol would bring that same offensive system that he flourished in to Miami.  

     

    I'm not making a case that Dabol is going to be the Miami coach but the connection there is blatantly obvious.

  6. This was after the Pats win and after Hyde and Poyer threw a hissy fit postgame. Totally deserved this comment.   

     

    He's not wrong, it's true. It was entirely embarrassing. McDermott was comically out coached then after the game gave no credit to Belichick, threw players and coordinator under the bus.  It was bizarre and terrible.

     

    We didn't adjust at all during the game and it cost us.  Keep running 4 linemen out there, and the Pats literally kept running some of the same plays over and over and out wasn't until 4Q that Milano finally started blowing out up. 

     

    That game was a total embarrassment. They have every right to mock us.

    Not really. 30 minutes of game time. One season as a backup QB. I feel like this is going to be another constantly repeated yet over valued “connection” like last year’s “he went to HS with Tom Telesco and therefore is a shoe in for the chargers job”. One, he may have preferred Tua over Hurts for his offense years ago when they were college QBs but that doesn’t mean he’s an NFL “Tua guy”. He may have simply felt limited with Hurts in the passing game as he struggled to throw downfield. Also, the dolphins owner didn’t commit to Tua as their QB going forward so I don’t think it will be as big of a factor as some are making it out to be. 

    So Jordan Palmer hasn't coach Josh at all because it hasn't been during games? This is nonsense.  Guys get coached outside of gametime.

  8. They are going to look to confuse the line and Allen.  He is going to bring a lot of pressure but contain and spy Allen as well with the goal to get him to scramble but then realize he can't.  He'll take away quick hitters and force the ball mid/down field. 

     

    That's my guess. 

     

    He always mixes and disguises coverage but playoffs are a different animal. 

     

    The other thought is they'll let the Bills run the ball to take it out of Allen's hands. Much like he did on the Giants to the Bills in the super bowl.

    Why does a rb stuffing the ball between the tackles need to be what our running game looks like is the part I’m hung up on…there’s tons of ways to threaten run…that is just so terribly antiquated and not very successful for teams without an absolute freak of nature at rb

    Because in poor sloopy weather power run game is more successful. Because we are an outdoor team in Buffalo, we need to run in bad weather at home. Power run game doesn't require a freak of nature NE was successful for years with guys like Blount doing this. 

     

    Dingleberry has come on recently, he's been solid, but we'll see where it goes on the playoffs.  He's under sized, lacks power, lacks speed.  We need a more athletic/dynamic talent in the backfield.  Moss is an undersized plodder too.

    The colts had one of the best performances by a rb in regular season history and where are they 

    You're missing the point. We are talking about a team being fit to win a super bowl.

     

    The Colts don't have good QB play, very different team and they play in a dome. 

     

    The Bills need to run especially in cold weather. Their RBs were so ineffective it hurt the team.  Hopefully the improvement sticks but it is still the weakness of this team and may doom us in poor weather.
