Big Turk

The outcome is always a result of the process, not the other way around. Like anything in life, many times you have to spend a lot of time putting in the dirty, behind the scenes work to build the foundation before you achieve the ultimate glory

For all the posters who think Hodgins is somehow the "guy who got away", just like Duke Williams, Robert Foster and a multitude of other WR's who just weren't good enough over the years...he is back with the Steelers for everyone to fawn over... https://www.yahoo.com/sports/article/steelers-set-sign-6-foot-193454021.html

Kinda crazy that teams have to be careful what they tell him in production meetings...like I believe the Bears are on Fox this week where he is doing the broadcast and then playing the Raiders next week so he could theoretically take any info he learns from them and tell the Raiders, especially with news coming out that he talks with Chip Kelly multiple times a week. Massive conflict of interest. At minimum he should be barred from production meetings with teams that play the Raiders that year.

Tua could get wrecked by Bosa

Another one drops to pressure... another dance in the dark...

Maybe because it's a lot easier to look good with elite weapons than it is with average ones?

What's incorrect? They gave up 38, 42, 27, 27, 32 in their last 5 playoff losses, which is 33.2 PPG. The only reason they didn't give up more in 2 of those games is because the Bills controlled the game on the ground and held the ball for so long and KC fumbled at the 1 yard line going in for another TD. I mean the defense couldn't stop a nosebleed in most of those games...they force 8 punts in 5 games, TOTAL. The Eagles forced the Chiefs to punt 6 times in one game a week after they did whatever they wanted against us the entire game when they hadn't score more than 30 points the entire season, and 1 of the 2 games they got to 30 points was in OT. In the Bills 4 AFC Championship games they gave up 3,7, 10 and 13 points = 33 points.

I mean why not, you left out a game they scored 36 points in and lost because it didn't fit your narrative. There is always room for improvement. Acting like this is something to be so concerned about is absurd. If that's the case 30 other teams should be firing their OC's today including Andy Reid firing himself. People are going to the bathroom with boxes of tissues and locking the door for hours to talk about Justin Herbert and he has put up 27 and 20 points. With a lot better WR's, or at least more proven ones, and now even QJ looks like he might be finally getting into the act. The bottom line is the Bills can beat you whatever way you want them to beat you. You want to try and take away the run? Cool, Josh Allen will destroy you. You want to take away deep throws? Cool, Allen will throw short, pick up easy first downs and 7-8 yards on 1st down and then run the ball down your throat. You want to take away the short throws? Cool, Allen will start dialing up Deep Overs and escaping pressure and launch 70 yard cruise missiles over hapless defenders running with their heads up in the air in disbelief the ball got over their heads. Very few teams in the NFL can do that with the consistency the Bills can. Baltimore and maybe Philly and that is about it, but Philly should be a LOT better throwing the ball with the weapons they have.

I don't even count the Bengals game. That was not the Bills out there that day. That team was mentally gone. Conveniently leave out the game they put up 36 points and lost with 13 seconds left, tho.

You mean when we lose in the playoffs are are putting up 30+ points a game and the defense allows an all-time NFL record 33+ points a game in the last 5 losses? All while Allen is the postseason record holder in most touchdowns per game and lowest INT % per game? Like what the hell are we talking about? Do you know how many points TOTAL the Bills gave up in AFC Championship games in the 1990's going to 4 straight Super Bowls? 33! Which is lower than the average the Bills have given up per game in their last 5 playoff losses.

Josh Allen is going to come out and just steal their soul from them in the first half.

Except that Josh Allen has won the most player of the Week awards against the Dolphins than any other team and since 2019 he averages 308 yards against them with 32 TDs and 5 INTs, completing 67.2% of his passes with a 111.4 passer rating. In those 12 games Allen has had over a 100 passer rating 9 times, over a 94 passer rating 2 more times and only 1 time with a passer rating below 80. Essentially Allen plays his best games against the Dolphins over his career.

No, because over a 5+ year sample size this has been shown to be a sustained production, not some 2 game wonder. And not only sustained production...best in the NFL by A MILE production on a game to game basis...they have won the most games by double digits in the NFL since 2020 and nearly average a 9.5 win every game(including losses). It would be like Elon Musk worrying about being homeless and penniless by next year.

Maybe Bucs or Texans.

They don't exist. These are simply figments of people's imaginations. There is always a non-zero possibility any team loses to any other team. Over a 20+ year study they definitively proved that teams who faced "trap games" actually had a slightly higher winning percentage than in games against similar teams when it was a "non-trap" game. SO in fact when you think it's a "trap game", that means the Bills actually have a slightly higher chance of winning historically than they otherwise would.
