  1. Ah dang. Even though I knew it the day of the injury, it is still sad.
  2. I sure don't want moral victories. I want the full monty. It's just more (albeit unusual) evidence that we are a good team. Better than some of our fans are giving us credit for.
  3. Good post. I truly have no problem with discussions, nor opposing viewpoints. It's the rage and venom spit at our team that's frustrating. The Bills are not a junk team, the coaches aren't junk. We've been a good team over the last couple years, and remain (close to) a good team now. Do we put it together and close out the year strong like we have over the last few years or not will tell us the verdict on this years team. IMO, we're still feeling the loss of Dabol and Frazier. We've taken a step back without them. Our offense clearly has, and our defense is better because it attacks more, I think that it still loses because the Head Coach is doing double duty by being DC. Similar stats as Frazier, but it looks like it hurts our whole team. Fingers crossed that Brady can keep it up, we've definitely looked better with his play calling.
  4. Roughly speaking you'd still expect .500 wins/losses. It's not even close, which sure implies that they've shot their wad to beat us.
  5. We DO get everyone's best shot. If they manage to beat us, it clearly takes a toll on them. As the title says, beginning in 2021, any opponent that manages to beat us, basically loses its next game with the record of 3-15. If you look only at playoffs with Josh Allen as our QB teams (5 years), teams are 0-5 after beating us. We've been the kingmaker as to who wins the AFC, whichever team doesn't play us. When we do lose it's a close loss. We are in position win almost every game until the end. Out of 16 losing games (5 overtime), 14 were one score losses, with every one this year being a one score loss. We are a good team. We have Josh-Freaking-Allen! This year we've had a rougher time of it record-wise and luck-wise, but we still have a good offense and a good enough defense. We can still right the ship and go for a run into the playoffs. Even with our Key personnel losses like Milano, White, and Daquan, I still think we have enough horses. Especially if we get Miller and Daquan back and effective. We get hot, we can win out. I hate the gloom and doomers that wail and moan like we're New England and everything is F-ed. 2021 (11-6) 5 out of 6 were 1 score losses. 2 overtimes w1 Pit 23-16 (7) -> w2 Loses to LV w6 Ten 34-31 (3)-> w7 Wins vs KC w9 Jax 9-6 (3) -> w10 L Ind w11 Ind 41-15 (26)-> W12 L TB w13 NE 14-10 (4) -> W14 L Ind w14 TB 33-27 (6) -> w15 L NO Div KC 42-36 (6) -> CC L Cin 2022 (13-3) 3 out of 4 were 1 score losses. 1 OT w3 Mia 21-19 (2) -> w4 L Cin w9 NYJ 20-17 (3) -> w10 L NE w10 Min 33-30 (3) -> w11 L Dal Div Cin 27-10 (17) -> cc L KC 2023: (7-6) All 1 score losses. 2 OT w1 NYJ 22-16 (6) -> w2 L Cin w5 Jax 25-20 (5) -> w6 W Ind w7 NE 29-25 (4) -> w8 L Mia w9 Cin 24-18 (6) -> w10 L Hou w10 Den 24-22 (4)-> w11 W Min w12 Phi 37-34 (3) -> w13 L Dal SF
  6. You only convert a DB to a safety if/when he can't be a corner. MUCH harder to fill job. It's absolutely not our best option to convert Benford to Safety. He's a solid starting corner.
  7. Man I loved watching Barry Sanders. One of those very rare players that made you gasp on a regular basis. The best part is, that I actually get that feeling with Josh Allen. Someone who can do something (almost) nobody else can on a regular basis.
  8. Oh yeah! Representing LBC! A local boy for me. He sure does seem to play physical. Can't really tell how well he covers though. Highlight reals only show so much. We do have an eye for DBs, so hopefully he thrives. Although come to think of it, our late round safety pickups haven't been stellar. I thought Hamlin was decent, but more one dimensional. The rest have been special team players at best.
  9. Does anyone have any video of the Dallas draft room? I loathe Jerry Jones.
  10. There's not much quality difference between the top 4 or 5 teams. You need to be good enough to get in the mix and then lucky enough to have some things go your way. Health is the biggest factor IMO and we lost Von Miller, Daquan Johnson (a great year for us) and our secondary was devastated. We were playing Jaquan Johnson the Terrible (if it's not his name it should be), Not-On-Our-Team Dean Marlow, and Practice Squad Cam Lewis. Their offense controlled the game while ours couldn't step up that game. Sure our team has some flaws. Our OL was shockingly bad with Saffold and Brown getting regularly beat like a red-headed stepchild. Our WRs and DEs under-performed. Our backup safeties weren't as good as expected. (Jaquan Johnson the Terrible I'm especially looking at you) We are good enough. Our record shows that we're good enough. Let's fix our weaknesses (OL please!) as best we can and kick their asses next year.
  11. If we haven't heard yet, it doesn't look too promising.
  12. My preference is that he's our 4th (or 5th) tackle. After a high draft rookie.
