5th team in 4 years. That's promising. LOL

Well, we do need a slot receiver.

The NFL has gone down the tubes from any moral or ethical standard. That's what happens when the focus becomes purely money/wealth. It'll continue to thrive in that way however. Even here to at least some extent. This team is slowly distancing itself from fans by allowing it to be run by national interests in some regard. Pegula's also made it clear that it's all about the money for him. We love our Bills, but that doesn't mean we love the NFL. If the Bills ever left many of us wouldn't give a crap about the NFL. Hope not. With all the newness it would be nice to open against a non contender or Miami at home in week one. They're a non contender for us. LOL If we do go, hopefully some genius at OBD doesn't decide based on some metrics that we should fly over the night before. LOL

Most people don't get $1B tax subsidies. Either way, just pointing that out. Hence as you put it, some disdain. The government is corrupt as all hell. Money flies in every direction, the people that get most of it are at the top somewhere.

Then ignore the posts. For someone that's all about the entertainment you sure do get riled up over what you should dismiss as nothing. Either way, I'm only responding to your slams of me. If you keep addressing me, guess what, I may keep replying. I realize that it's befuddling for you. It'll hit us at some point though. 🤔😏🙂

Or long-term plan is really starting to round out, at least we're getting some formal clarity. Draft the biggest arm in the game and someone that's destined for the HoF, then focus on becoming a power running team featuring a shorter passing game with a defense that washes out in the playoffs. It's a brilliant strategy some say. Good thing we have Allen's arm. When he's 48 he'll still be able to hit all those routes.

Like most threads, there are lots of spinoff topics. All that I originally said was let's hope that his charisma translates to on-field performance. Sheesh!!! Get a grip on yourself and quit stalking me. I'm very happy for you that you'd be perfectly content with some underachieving clown out there if that we're to be the case. Waaay too much is being made of this. It's like a bunch of drunk girls trying to convince themselves that some hot looking guy with the personality of a turnip is right for them. Who knows, maybe Allen likes turnips too and that makes sense. Also, I absolutely love how you know with certainly that I'm wrong on this.

Most people don't seem to have all that much disdain for "monetarily successful people" as you put it, the disdain starts to enter when some of that wealth is driven by money of others, like taxpayer money, that assists in creating that "monetary success." Can us as smaller business people put that plank of taxpayer subsidy in our eyes? It also doesn't win people over when they talk out of both sides of their mouths. eg. the "Pegula Family Values" vs. fan interest as an example. Feigned altruism in short, disingenuous. Not trying to argue, but those are issues.

Notice anything else?

If you're interested and have a half hour ... If be curious your thoughts.

You don't have to read them, you realize this, right?

Thank you! Perfect.

My offer stands. You can take me up on it or keep arguing. Your call. What I just wrote is not an argument. Here's an argument: You just don't like the takes so you manifest that in tantrums of sorts. Never willing to look at the actual data, just countering with your opinions.

OK, but I'm the one that's willing to put in the time, again, together this time, to go through all of the video evidence. You don't appear to be willing to do that and there's still no indication that you even watched it. What, can't afford 15 minutes a day for a week to actually analye it. Seriously, I have absolutely zero idea how anyone watches all of Coleman's plays last season and comes away with the notion that he's anything but a gadget/slot guy. I'd guess off-hand that half the plays he ran were bubble screens or something akin to that. Yeah, those'll work well in the NFL. LOL

Everyone except for Davis disappeared in the playoffs and even he wasn't entirely consistent. There's not a player on our team besides Allen that a claim for playoff consistency can be made. Not one. That my friend definitely has to do with coaching. 29th and 30th. Bridgewater isn't that bad. And this isn't a comparison between Allen and Bridgewater, if you are going to make one, it would be wise to acknowledge that Allen can cover quite a few coaching sins. Drops are a judgement. You do realize that there's no hard standard and different stat sites/companies tally them differently, right? Did you actually watch the video? Again, I'd be happy to go thru it PBP/GBG. Just let me know. We can discuss each catch. BTW, I've posted this about a half-dozen times, it's also a great analysis. https://www.pff.com/news/draft-2024-nfl-draft-florida-state-keon-coleman-polarizing-wide-receiver-prospect It contradicts a lot of the draft profiles.

Well, OK, I'd be happy to go thru game-by-game, one game/day and annotate each target/catch if you like. Be fun, the schedule doesn't come out for at least another week. You put waaaay too much credence in the "draft experts." They whiff on so many picks every season. Either way, I wasn't referring to my take or your take, I was referring to the actual plays that he participated in actively. Again, I'd be happy to go thru that video GBG and PBP to discuss. IMO there's not a whole lot of controversy if you actually watch it. As to being out of my depth, LOL, OK. But FWIW I was about the only one I know that made similar claims about Watkins and sternly warned that Evans would be the far better WR and that Watkins had little chance of living up to his hype. I also pointed that the plays on which Zay Jones made a living at SC simply wouldn't occur in the NFL and that he'd be a bust. Back when we drafted Hardy in the early 2nd round I boldly claimed that he'd bust and that Stevie Johnson would be a far better WR. The heat I took for those publicly. LOL There are others, but I'm quite comfortable with my analyses and assessments on players. Not to argue on that, but the point is that more players than not do not live up to their top-40 grades. And honestly, using Belichick as an example of draft boards, ... that's a good one. Unless it's linemen or defenders ... Either way, not trying to be contentious, but if you'd like to go thru the video like that, let me know. I'm pretty sure you'd agree by the end of the exercise.

Wow, I think anyone watching that video will come away with the exact same conclusions.

And yet ... 😏

You forgot Brady vs. McD.

Got a chuckle out of that. It has been 13 years w/o playoffs, so ...

If you want to argue we can replicate this ...

If we cannot win at least 10 games in this pathetic division in which we own Miami and there's two other siht teams, then something needs to change. Having said that, it will be very interesting to see what Coleman's impact is on our offense, Brady's impact after an offseason, and to see what will be different for Davis v. Singletary/Moss. Expect a drop in both offensive and defensive rankings to maybe 10th or so in both. The biggest curiosity is how we utilize Allen given that we have a slew of short-yardage specialists in the receiving department with no established deep-ball specialist. This doesn't cater to Allen's strengths. The big games will be Jax, SF, and KC at home and Houston, Baltimore, and Detroit on the road.

Well, again, we'll see, but there are several false narratives surrounding Brady that will come to light this fall to at least some extent. Otherwise, I decided to watch an every target video of Coleman this a.m. It's only a 22 minute video but took me a couple of hours to go through. Even by my low standards I'm not impressed, in fact, if anything it lessened, not heightened my expectations there. I see the hype even less after viewing it. And while drops are measured differently, I counted at least 15 dropped passes or at least passes that he should have caught but did not. We can go thru them if you like, game by game. Watch the passes against BC, what, three, four drops? Louisvile a few too. The other thing that I noticed with him, that much like Watkins, he had a lot of bubble screens and gadget plays, which typically aren't effective in the NFL. So that's also worrisome. Otherwise, most of his catches were on shorter throws where he was wide-opened or screened, per above, and a bunch of very short crossing routes. I saw precious few catches that he made in coverage. His LSU game seems to stand out, but after that, it's difficult to find much that's impressive in his other 41 catches in his 536 yards in 11 other games otherwise. In fact, I see absolutely nothing that tells me that if he were to line up to go deep that any DC in the league would worry about putting more than one DB on him. I can see his appeal on "highlight" videos, which would be short for this past season, like that one play where he hurdled the defender, but again, on a pass where he was open on deep coverage on 3rd-and-14, against Southern Miss, a Sunbelt team with one of the worst Ds in the NCAAs btw. But those are few. Then the second TD catch in the Clemson game. On the first he was WIDE open. That second catch against Syracuse was spectacular. The TD against Syracuse was against CB Isaiah Johnson, a senior, who went undrafted and according to NFL.com's draft profile would be on the bottom of a roster or a practice squad. So beating him wasn't particularly impressive. He won't see that coverage in the NFL with even a hint of regularity. One great route vs. Duke for about 30 yards. And another nice catch for a bunch vs. Duke. His TD catch vs. Wake Forest was nice, not spectacular, but nice, but WF had a horrid D too. His second TD against Wake was on Caelen Carson, drafted late in the 5th round. So while watching that, I can see how while viewing just the above catches, one could come away thinking that he's some kind of steal and an Andre Johnson lite, but while watching the other 90% of his play, it makes me wonder why anyone sees anything in him at all worthy of a day 1 or even day 2 pick at all. He reminds me of Knox in terms of receiving skills and highlights. Just enough huge plays here or there to make you think there's more in there when there isn't. About the biggest kick in the nads to Allen that we could give him would be using Coleman as he was used at FSU. Getting Watkins vibes here in fact, except that Watkins did in fact have speed. Either way, the schtick is that he's got great hands and makes all these contested catches. Is that what you see while watching the video? I'd be interested in your take. Again, since there's not much else to do 'til the schedule release, I'd be happy to go thru game by game and itemize each target.

You've gotta love comps like that. And oddly Diggs' season extrapolated YFS under Brady was 765. Under Dorsey it was over twice that at 1,475. Thoughts? The only reason why Cook was over it under Brady is because McD thinks that with Allen at QB the way to win games is to run the ball and have a defense that is great, except when it comes to playoff time when his D takes a premature vacation that is, while minimizing Allen's passing game. In the playoffs he simply throws everything to the four winds and stands aside while Allen takes over. Great coaching there. Why do you think that they drafted Davis, at pick #128, coincidentally the same pick that the other Davis, Gabe was picked at, when we had other more prominent needs. This team has no idea what it's doing until they do it on the offensive side. Our offense is an overlooked inconvenience by McD. Also, to start, Carolina also had DJ Moore. We have no received that is Moore's equal here. Secondly, in 2020 he also had the 24th ranked scoring offense and 21st ranked yardage offense, which regressed to the 29th and 30th in 2021. So maybe all those YFS don't translate to scoring. Maybe we can expect a similar regression by 5 and 9 rankings here too. You're also taking some extreme liberties, Samuel was barely over 1k YFS, but he needed 200 rushing yards to get that, which you fail to mention. If we start using Samuel to run the ball for the 41 carries that he had, then something's wrong. It's difficult to imagine our offense improving over last season's, and the scoring and yardage metrics were better under Dorsey than they were under Brady, not by much, but they were. And the way that our offense faded down the stretch over the last three regular season games, when every game was like a playoff game and every win was needed for even a wild-card, along with our sluggish 19.5 PPG over the last three regular season games, and against teams ranked 24th, 15th, and 22nd in scoring D. And it's not like we really stepped it up in the playoffs. Our offensive performances in the playoffs were incredibly average by our season standard. If you want to run comps, look at how our players last season did in that regard under Brady. There wasn't a receiver that even sniffed 1,000 YFS extrapolated for 17 games on his watch. Shakir was the closest at just over 900, but keep in mind that he had Diggs & Davis drawing coverage. Cook did, easily, but that was largely due to that huge Dallas game. Cook faded severely, when wins were needed the most, in the last 3 regular season games and the playoffs where he averaged a mere 3.4 yards-per-touch and a horrid 3.5 yards-per-carry over the last five games including our two playoff games. Cook didn't have a TD either rushing or receiving in any of those last five games. Was that because he's not used to getting so many carries? He started frittering out when he hit about 190. Without that outlier Dallas game our per-game metrics were notably worse than under Dorsey. After that our offense all but collapsed. Do you expect that we're going to have two WRs over 1,000 YFS?

We will see.
