Anyone else thinks that "Levi's Stadium" sounds like a stadium named after a kidnapped gay teenage who was killed when a drunk driver accidentally shot him with an unregistered hand gun?
Well, you can go ahead and crunch the numbers if you like. But your claim above is categorically false. We did not throw the ball just as many times then as we do now--particularly when you look at passes as percentage of plays. But whatever.
Also, a lot of people like to point to SJ's three consecutive 1,000 yard seasons (in the most pass-heavy era the league has ever known), while Moulds was 102 yards away from FIVE consecutive 1,000 yard seasons, back when it was a run-first league.
I feel like the following anecdote will retain its relevance for years to come, so I plan to keep sharing:
ME: Omfg, the Bills just cut Lee Evans.
My co-worker who follows sports: Who the Hell is Lee Evans?
As I mentioned in another thread, this draft--and the off-the-field-issues-guys we took--prove that Nix is only one component of the draft selection...
Surprised he didn't face a suspension over that.
But since this is a critique of Nix, let's use this as evidence to pin the Lynch castoff where it seemingly belongs: on Gailey.
Under Nix/Chan: we draft, retain a bunch of choir boys. Under Nix/Marrone we draft a bunch of guys with off-the-field question marks.
What changed?
Lynch had a gun, a weed and a hit-and-run incident during his time with Buffalo before he was shipped off. He's kept his act together during the last three seasons in Seattle, and good for him. But he was an eye lash from some serious league-mandated bench time.
Bills fans conveniently forget this fact...constantly.
