FormerLV-BILLS

Interesting last paragraph in the PFT report on Florio's site. Not sure I believe it, but.....it is the only thing I could find other than a cousin of Jimmy who works in the Tim Horton's drive-thru and gets Beane his coffee everyday. From PFT..... "Last year Poyer started 16 games for the Dolphins, and the Bills will expect him to contribute right away despite missing all of the offseason. Poyer knows the defense, knows his coaches and knows his teammates, and he should be able to fit right in." I don't know if that is a guess or not on PFT's part. Usually, when it's worded like that, it means contribute to actually playing and being active. Although, it could still mean the other way as well.

You can write a dissertation as long as you want. And you can twist things as much as you want. You know exactly what I mean about our WR's. They are medicore, at best. I've said that about 400 times. FACT: This great offense failed again, when it had the ball last in the playoffs, and once the 1st round pick (and another mediocre pass catcher) failed to make a slightly above average play after Allen performed heroics just to get the ball near him. Why didn't he make the play you ask? Because he isn't/wasn't quite as athletic or coordinated enough to make a catch like that. 1st round pick. Failed when it counts. That lofty #1 ranked offense mattered 0%, because when it comes down to it, he wasn't good enough to make a play in a real pressure situation. AKA, mediocre wins you a 1 pm game against the Saints that we sleepwalk through, especially when Allen your QB. That mediocre talent fails to deliver in crunch time in big playoff games where the other team has star players. See also.....our defense. You defended, not me, Josh Palmer as a #2. He wasn't, but he did have a chance to step in when some Chargers got hurt. You tell me.....what do these stats tell you? 2024 39-584-1 2023 38-581-2 2022 72-769-3 2021 33-353-4 Those numbers SCREAM #4 on a lot of teams. A lot of teams concentrate on the offensive side of the ball. So, what about that year where he caught 72 balls? Well, he sucked the next two years again. A logical conclusion can be that he just kind of sucks. Another logical conclusion could be that he isn't good enough to capitalize on the 72 catch season because he isn't good enough. And the last logical conclusion could be that the Chargers know he sucks because they couldn't keep him elevated, for whatever reason, and keep him as an ascending player. He was painfully below average for 2 consecustive years after his solid year. One solid year, not great, but one solid year. How about Mack Hollins, the biggest and most overrated player since Da'Rick Rogers here (whatever his name was). Supposedly a big loss right? Or should I have used Martin Nance from yesteryear as well? He has stunk his entire career. SCREAMS 4th wr. Actually, as a WR, he screams that he should be waived from the NFL. He was even watched out the door in Orchard Park when the Bills love mediocre WR's and special teams guys. He was signed to a very modest contract in NE that we certainly could have matched here to keep him if we wanted. But hey, he's funny and a good guy because he cooks and walks around barefoot I guess. He actually stars in that stuff. The wrong stuff. 2024 31-378-5 2023 18-251-0 2022 57-690-4 2021 13-223-4 2020 16-176-1 2019 10-125-0 Should I go on? Because it doesn't get much better. And Hollins put up 31-378-5 with the best QB in the league. And then, to boot, the Bills let him go, for the collection of new stiffs that exist now. Shakir could be a beast if he didn't have to be the #1 guy on this team. The rest of these guys.....meh. Hell, that's why Gabe Davis is back in town. Allen is the Porsche at the dealership with a bunch of 2017 Nissan Altima's 200 feet away at the used car section of the lot. Everyone knows it. And it's the same philospjy this year as always. Tell Josh not to be the hero.....when your roster sets him up to have to be the hero. Stats don't tell the entire story. However, they do indicate a lot. And for whatver reason our WR's don't have any stats to be proud of, they don't have any for a reason. Most of the time, it's just the fact that you kinda suck. Our WR's outside of Shakir kinda suck. All of them except Shakir, and Coleman who only gets a pass because he's only in his second year. But he certainly didn't do anything yet to put away the myth that we have no clue how to develop and draft NFL caliber WR's. Everybody is supposed to eat. That's what we use as a cute parting shot for Diggs. However, most of our guys are anorexic. We need some steak eaters on this team. We have only one.....Allen.

Fact......we have one star on this football team after 8 years of this regime. They do get credit for picking Allen. You can try to justify the WR's any way you want, but they are all mediocre. I like Shakir. He's not a #1. I about spit my drink out about your description of Palmer. This is a dude that couldn't produce in LA when they had no WR's because all of them were hurt. Of course though, people here actually thought we lost something when Hollins went to New England. Hollins blows. Of course, his 25-30 catch average number of catches fit right in here. Because after all, everybody eats. But on this team, everyone is anorexic, because they all are mediocre at best. We have one star after 8 years. One. Fact. This is a 3-4 win team without Allen.

I for one, after a regime having 8 years to establish itself, would just like to see someone other than Josh Allen look like a star player. Or hell, I'll even take a WR that looks like they might be better than a typical fourth WR on almost any other NFL team that has even the slightest clue. I could care less about the score. When you watch these games, I see none of that. That's all I want. I ask again, if one of our WR's gets hurt, does it even matter? Once again, we have a stable of about 10 medicore, at best, WR's playing with the best QB in the league. Yet, we have about 400 rotational, and mediocre, defensive lineman again. It's the same tired philosphy of a defensive coach not adding to his strength. I keep hearing about this "best offense in the league crap" every week. But yet, they've had the ball last a few times in the playoffs and couldn't come through. Mainly because when it's crunch time, the mediocre shows. Of course, we all know the defense fails when it counts as well. Catch the friggin ball Kincaid. You are a first round pick that needed to make a decent play as a professional. Mediocre. All over the field. Mediocre players and Josh Allen. But hey Josh, "Don't Try To Do Too Much".

Usually true. However, the Ravens are loaded. They most likely wouldn't suck without Lamar. But they obviously woudn't be as good. Same with the Eagles. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't suck. The Lions probably wouldn't suck without their best player. Hell, they were missing about 10 of them last year, and didn't suck. The Bills.........well...........who the hell would they have left? Without Allen, who the hell would they have left on either side of the ball? There are no other superstars on this team. Not even close to a second one. On offense, who would make a play without Allen out there? On defense, we already know they can't stop good QB's. Imagine if they were on the field more, because the Bills didn't have Allen. Eight years of this regime. One star player. A couple of nice players. The rest (probably 80% of the starters) are interchangeable, mediocre, players. Again, if any of the WR's get hurt, is it really a big deal? We kind of miss Shakir, but they are almost all interchangeable.

It's 100% true. Trubisky has proven to be awful throughout his career. Mike White was already that crappy AFC East QB, and would quickly shift to the worst in the division. And yeah, Buechele blows. He's camp fodder. 3-4 wins without Allen. The Bills have one stud on this team. To me, that's mind boggling 8 years into a regime. They get credit for Allen for sure. But geez, otherwise, it's a collection of medicore talent all over the field. I mean, really, with all of the WR injuries that the Bills have had, does it really matter which three are left out there starting? They have like 12 WR's on the roster, it seems, and all of them are mediocre. And really, none look better than Shavers. To me, it's just as frustrating not equipping Allen with talent than it is not making the playoffs for almost 2 decades. Just my opinion. The same result is coming again from the same exact blueprint we've tried for the last 7 years.

Justin Jefferson.

It's OK, as long as the Bills have 400 rotational, and average, defensive lineman, with another 240 rotational, and below average, defensive lineman on the practice squad......well.......that'll fix everythng. Apparently that fixes one of the most mediocre WR corps in the league as well. As asked by Pam Oliver last night. If Josh Allen isn't on this team, it's 3-4 win team. I fear we are going to get the same exact result as every other year. Same failing blueprint when you have a guy like Allen as your QB.

Right, because the "Non-Distraction" route has yielded how many Superbowls for us? Like it matters.

Watching Moulds with Josh Allen would be unreal.

This is absolute fact.

C'mon man. He makes mistakes on almost every angle he takes to the ball......every game.

I kid you not. I went to a JMU vs. Ball State womens bball game today. Tickets were $23 per. I got two. The friggin fees were $16 per ticket for tickets that were a $23 value. I was stunned. So, the bill for two $23 tickets came out to be $79. Unreal.

No you don't. The Bengals are still a dangerous team. They've been running up and down the field on everyone and their losses are barely losses to a lot of good teams. They are having a frustrating year, but I have a feeling that I'd rather play about three or four teams that will end up making the playoffs rather than the Bengals.

My God. Thank You for posting what seems like the only reasonable answer that there is on this subject.
