it’s not just putting a few people at risk. It’s looking like 75,000 or so who will all need to travel during winter storm advisory

There we’re reports in the media that Mayo rubbed some the wrong way in the org and that his future as Patriots HC could be in question. I guess that was the Belichick camp maybe? I thought Vrabel was a slam dunk for that job.

That wasn’t the snow game. That was just how Bell used to run behind the Steelers OL in 2016. It was a combo that worked well until he decided he was going hold. His career was never the same.

Who the hell is Marc? Marcus Allen?

right - that’s why I’m questioning the credibility of his information and the sanity of the OP for presenting this as solid evidence.

The trendy thing in the Buffalo media now is to predict a close game or even a loss for Buffalo.

What kind of metric is that though? That’s why I criticized the OP for positioning this information as thought it was legit. It’s some kid on the internet playing PFF

They did sign AJ Klein so I think there’s a chance they show a true 4-3 but it’s not teams haven’t tried to run when Taron is on the field. He’s just very good and he allows them to stay in Nickel without getting victimized.

You have to consider the source. It looks like a college senior with 1,500 followers on Twitter. No affiliation with any reputable outlet. Patton Analytics? PATTON? Please stop posting from randos on the internet… these “analytics” mean absolutely nothing

No he didn’t… Beane followed 4 months later. Not the next year. He was drafting Josh Allen in 2018 FYI Marty is a really bad comparison… he has a post season record of 5-13 over the span of 18 seasons. Sean McDermott is 4-5 in 6 seasons. So many McDermott will be on par with Marty is he never wins another post season game.

True… but Kincaid is a rookie and I do believe he has the potential to be one of the best TE’s in the league. Notn sure if Cook will ever get beyond “very good,” but there’s definitely a chance

Brandon Beane does not oversee Sean McDermott. He couldn’t fire him even if he wanted to. One move you left off was rolling with Spencer Brown at RT. At last season’s presser he cited some reasons why we haven’t seen his best football yet. Many of us assumed he’d be the same player he always had been. But he has stepped up. To the same effect though, Beane said something similar about Gabe Davis and was wrong.

I agree. Out of all the teams in the playoffs, Pittsburgh is probably the one you want to draw. You can’t make any excuses - certainly not weather. As far as the roof - you are correct. In fact, I believe the data in the stadium survey supported a majority who preferred outdoor football conditions. But I believe this information was just shared to highlight the real reason which is the cost associated with the roof. I don’t think the additional cost would justify creating a new roof on the stadium. Maybe a few more concerts or shows during the winter but overall Buffalo is still too small of a market to support the major events large cities bid on - certainly not the Super Bowl. So with NYS looking the spend the lowest amount of state aid and Terry wanting to spent the lowest of amount of non-state aid, the left a roof off of the proposal At lot of these forecasts are… I remember the Miami game last season was supposed to snowy and very cold. It snowed a little bit overall the temps were in the 30’s. Weather changes fast

Beane has explained multiple times in the past that drafting a big, strong armed QB that could throw in the elements is why they were drawn to Josh. At least, that was his story.

Based on how people are talking about the weather in this forum and the impact it will have on the offense: Steelers 3 Bills 0

Personally, I like dome idea and thought it was a better investment than an open-air stadium. But it was clear that NYS and Terry didn’t want to spend the money. With that being said it’s like - What do you expect?” This isn’t luck or a lousy draw. This is winter in Buffalo, NY

Sell: everyone who knows what the weather is like in Buffalo in January and complains about it anyway.

Sal answered this question - it’s something about the clock stopping inside 5:00 minutes.

Achane had a big game? He rushed 10 times for 56 yards which was boosted by a 21 yard TD. They held him in check the rest of the time. The whining about the weather is one of the most annoying parts about Bills fans.

It only there was a strong armed QB who could throw the ball in all types of weather

Tom Brady definitely came out on top in the whole “who made who” talking point. Bill is still an excellent defensive coach but he is clueless and outdated when it comes to running an offense. He’s also extremely consecutive in his game day approach. In these areas it seems like the game has passed him by. The problem with any team than wants to hire him is that he will require GM/roster control. He’s operated that way for decades and has the cache to earn the right. But over the past 4 years he’s shown that he is really bad with personnel - especially offensively. Look at the draft picks and free agents he brought to the team. Almost none of them worked out successfully. These were his solutions at QB since Brady left: 2020: Cam Newton/Brian Hoyer 2021: Mac Jones 2022: Mac Jones (big regressions) 2023: Mac Jones (bigger regression)/Bailey Zappe The other red flag on Belichick is his approach to hiring coaches. He seems to be very insulated and will only hire coaches he personally knows, has worked with in the past, or even his own family. It sounded like his solution to fix the offense was bringing JMD back.

They actually don’t run the ball all that well. The run it with frequency but not with as much success. If the weather affects the pass game and Josh, than how do you think Mason Rudolph is going to perform? “plays like poo?” What are we? Pre-school teachers?

Dan Marino did the same thing in the divisional round and just sliced up the defense passing for over yards. A warm weather team essentially was un-phased coming into cold, snowy Buffalo. It was at that moment when I realized the conditions weren’t as big of an advantage as the media portrayed back then.

You have to let Josh throw the football. He’s proven to be able to do this in all types of weather. THIS IS WHY THEY DRAFTED HIM. There were opportunities for Josh last year - he just didn’t play particularly well. The good thing is that the Brady offense is less reliant on deep shots than it was under Dorsey.

I thought McDaniel came off as a pretty good guy - the players really seem to love him. He seems like he’d be a fun coworker. But I have to agree with what a lot of people are saying about him as a leader. Some of what he says just seems really corny and contrived. He’s also in a horrible position because what can he really say after a loss?
