I have a gut feeling Hackett and Rodgers are gonna stink up the joint Broncos style. Hackett rode the coattails of LeFleur to a head coaching job and proved that he absolutely SUCKED at it. As an OC he's had pretty meh offenses except for GB (and that offense wasn't his) and he'd never called plays until he was HC of the Broncos and was...not good. For as good as Rodgers is I don't think that offense can overcome Hackett's terrible play calling abilities and their pretty questionable offensive line. Miami is legit good and between Tua staying healthy, Vic Fangio being a good DC and them having pretty decent personnel on both side of the ball except for a pretty pedestrian running game I think they'll give us a hard time and maybe even win a game against us. I am more afraid of Mia than I am of the NYJ. NE is NE and I just don't think that team has the firepower to match us, imo. I think the hype for NYJ is a bit misplaced, I see shades of Denver there. That defense is gonna be tough but I think their offense is going to struggle because Hackett sucks. NE is NE and Mia is gonna be a tough out.

Or how we was basically playing for most of the regular season on a bum leg because he was the only WR we had who could block. Crowder and Kumerow going down for the year early really sucked for our depth and forcing us to trot out players that were not 100%. It's also odd that we talk about what kind of bum Davis is when he basically had a great year statistically for yards and TDs last year and his catch rate didn't drastically go up or down either, its pretty in line with previous years because he's mostly used as an X receiver who runs deep so you're gonna see more drops/throwaways.

Why does that video include a run by Singletary? 🤣

It's easy to put up good numbers in the Big 12, not exactly a conference built of defensive powerhouses. Feel like Mims came into the league thinking he'd dominate DBs the way he did at Baylor in the Big 12 and was thoroughly humbled by how hard it is to even get NFL open in the NFL. I'd pass, even though he's played with meh QBs. Good wideouts get NFL open and shine even when the quarterback is so-so.

The Eagles won a SB with Nick Foles. Nick Foles is not a great quarterback. He was good when he needed to be and the team around him was absolutely stacked.

That game was so damn boring, think it ended 13-7 with our offense looking completely anemic which was such a letdown.

I think it's harder to establish a rhythm with 1-2 RB's because you're not really setting up a ton of run first plays. A lot of this type of running is predicated off PA/option plays. As for linemen, maybe its the mentality that you have to sell a ton of your blocking as pass and you have to wait for what happens in the backfield to then switch into upfield blocking and trying to set running lanes off script. It's a lot more mentally taxing to do that than to just know that on this play we're doing X. Also teams tend to play a team with a strong running QB differently. There's ALWAYS a couple of players peeking into the backfield and keeping an eye on the QB and runners to close those gaps/limit breakaways.

He was a Rex Grossman/Trent Dilfer type, he was alright but he wasn't going to win you a game when the chips were down. I'd argue that Shady got us to the playoffs just as much as Tyrod did.

We're a passionate bunch who may also give the Bills far more real estate in our heads than they deserve 😂

McKenzie is the current iteration of Leodis McKelvin, every time he touches the ball something amazing or something awful is going to happen. There is no middle.

I’m excited for the fins away game being late season so they can’t cook us alive in their stadium.

You're suggesting that the best coach this team has had in something like 2 decades is on the hot seat this year? It took Andy Reid a damn long time to win a Super Bowl and no one ever suggested that he get fired while constantly having the Chiefs in contention. This place is *something* in the offseason, damn 😂

That holding call was…weak.

There is soooo much more to playing LB than rushing the QB. Good linebackers like Edmunds and Milano take away huge chunks of the field and force QBs to have to make much more difficult throws into much tighter windows. In the modern game an incompletion is almost as good as a sack, it's a play for no yards and a loss of down.

That guy knows he doesn't have what it takes to play in the NFL and is just milking his college gig for everything it's got. Also Stetson Bennett just sounds like what ChatGPT would return if you asked it "What is the most football name for a player you can think of?"

Who? Did Houston have good safety play this season?

The thing is, those teams are those teams and these teams are these teams. Any parallels are just coincidences. There are no tea leaves to read. This current Bills team will succeed and fail on their own merits, irrespective of any similarities to the Bills teams of old.

I guess I'm an Eagles fan for the superb owl, but I don't feel good about it.

I would be curious to know of PFF grades or similar OL grades in situations where Kromer came in as the OL coach. Do his OLs always regress or not?

my eyes say otherwise

It took Andy Reid 6 years to reach the SB with the Eagles. It took him another 6 years to reach the SB (and win) with the Chiefs.

I remember LeSean McCoy looking quite uncomfortable during that playoff loss against the Jags but still gutting it out. I thought there was no way he was gonna play the way he sprained his ankle a week before that game.
