Fassel never got another NFL job after that. The blackballing because of his clear and unfair scapegoating of Payton was real. He became a pariah due to that.

The protection was good. He just doesn’t have it in him to cut bait quickly on his first read. It is killing him — and costing him eight figures in dollars as a consequence.

I have been saying this for a while. One they got healthy, they clearly became one of the better teams in the league. Lotta talent and a great qb.

https://ftnfantasy.com/nfl/aaron-schatz-my-2024-all-pro-ballot Aaron Schatz’s (founder of football outsiders and DVOA) pro bowl ballot. He has Benford as first team all pro and Dawkins as second team all pro. He also links to Mitchell Schwartz’s argument that Dawkins was the best offensive lineman in the league this year. He has Jos as second team all pro.

Yeah, he’s a walking unsportsmanlike conduct machine in waiting. I love his post-play moxy, but he has to be super careful.

He apologized!

Did you hear nate burlson’s story about that jacket in the postgame show? Hilarious.

I have a gut feeling the Bills extend him this offseason. No info; just a gut feeling. And I don’t think it will cost a lot.

Yeah, Nix is an impressive player.

Agreed. This won’t be popular, but the defender did lead with his shoulder. It wasn’t really dirty.

They did it AGAIN. Sheesh.

Maybe catch a fieldable punt at around the 10 yard line there?

Running on first down when the Bills are at the 10 or 11 yard line in opposing territory almost never works and puts the Bills in must pass situations on 2nd and 3rd down. So it seems to me.

He is having a bad game, but that INT was not on him. It was a good throw and decision.

PFF had the Niners, colts, Steelers and Falcons as better teams than the Bills. And with niners, steelers, and falcons being WAY better.

Unless he convinces Jim Leonhard to come out of his retirement to be his starting safety, his defense will suck. Leonhard was a true unicorn - the only person smart enough to fully understand his Rube Goldberg-like scheme and be able direct other players on the field to their correct assignments on the fly. His defenses with and without Leonhard tell the tale.

That analogy doesn't work because Evans was drafted before the Bills’ original pick. The whole premise of this thread is based on an incorrect memory of the original draft order.

Correct — Evans went before the Bills’ original pick, which was #9.

Josh Allen-led offenses vs Vic Fangio defenses: 2019: 20-3 win vs Denver; the Bills offense racked up 424 yards (244 rushing yards), and the last 11 minutes were garbage time. 2020: 48-19 win vs Denver; the Bills racked up 534 yards of offense 2023: 48-20 win vs Miami; the Bills racked up 414 yards and it was garbage time very early 2023: 21-14 win vs Miami; the Bills racked 473 yards of offense That's an average of 34.25 points and 461.25 yards per game. Not too scared of a Fangio defense with Allen as my QB.

I.e., we have no actual idea. For all we know, his mom died three days ago. Wait until you actually know something before casting aspersions.

Have you read either of the pieces, start to finish? If not, slagging him with a whole bunch of juvenile swear words seems off.

Hyde is a perfectly fine returner.

That is not an actual answer.

Bruce Smith was the best player in the league in 1996 inclusive of all positions. He had 47 QB pressures in addition to his 14.5 sacks.
