McCoy is the only player worth a damn, and history says hes inline for a below average year this year. What about McCoy's history says he's due for a below average year?

AJ is 2-1 in the regular season and 0-1 in the playoffs ---- but from what I have read and been told by Bengals fans AJ scored 16 points in the 4th QRT against the Steelers and the Bengals lost the game by 2 blunders by the Bengals defense lost them the game 18-16. Steelers pull out improbable win with help of late Bengals penalties Chris Boswell kicked a 35-yard field goal with 14 seconds remaining as Pittsburgh somehow pulled out an 18-16 victory thanks to consecutive 15-yard penalties on the Bengals, one on linebacker Vontaze Burfict and another on cornerback Adam Jones. Burfict dropped his shoulder and hit a defenseless Brown in the helmet as the All-Pro receiver came across the middle, Jones lost his cool after getting into it with Steelers assistant coach Joey Porter when Porter came onto the field as Brown was being tended to by trainers. People are all telling me that McCarron can play. Im bit a of a disbeliever due to the fact i dont think Bama produces players in the league. But Cincy fans seem to think he has promise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grb Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 8 hours ago, ShadyBillsFan said: I never said he was awful, but that he had 4 awful games this past season, which is twice as bad as past seasons. This seems to be ShadyBillsFan's latest mantra, and I confess it's extremely effective. Four awful games !!! I don't see how anyone can stand for that; someone who has four "awful games" surely must be shown the door, right? Say this McCoy guy : Carolina : 12 carries, 9 yards, .8 ypc Denver : 14 carries, 21 yards, 1.5 ypc Jets : 12 carries, 25 yards, 2.1 ypc Miami : 20 carries, 50 yards, 2.5 ypc Miami : 11 carries, 10 yards, .9 ypc Of course he was out with an injury in the third quarter of the last Miami game, so that's not fair. In fact, the whole damn list isn't fair. LeSean made big plays throughout the year critical to the team's victories. And the problems he had over the season were rooted in bungling by the coaches, who insisted on screwing-up a league-leading rushing game with useless scheme change. So yeah: Not fair. Of course you could make very similar points about Taylor, couldn't you? He was saddled with poor pass protection, a hideous OC, and saw his receiver corps completely gutted preseason; then replaced with cripples, cast-offs, and one deer-in-the-headlights rookie. I'm certain ShadyBillsFan is willing to be fair about all that, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manther Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 17 hours ago, Looper said: Assuming we don't get one of the big 4 QBs, are we a playoff team with A.J. ? Or are we the 2017 Browns and the #1 seed to get Drew Luck, Jacob Eason, or Jarrett Stidham next year ? Is it worth even using a draft pick on Rudolph or Jackson ? IMO we are a playoff team with AJ starting. i agree (at this point) Rudolph and Jackson are 5th and 6th best QBs available. I think Jackson and Rudolph could be franchise QBs. Not good odds, but, possible. If we miss on everything I think you take one of them at #22. Go Bills! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were a playoff team this year but clearly not good enough to win a title. And that's the goal, to consistently be good enough to compete for a title, to consistently be in the mix. Making the playoffs as a fodder team, a tuneup for the teams with a legitimate shot, should mean absolutely nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't follow college, so what do I know. I have read people on here bragging on players that have won the National Championship etc. Time will tell.

ALF Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Only if they can fix the OL and have a top running game would AJ have a chance. This is a rebuild year so i'll settle for progress and hope for a top 4 QB in the draft. If the Bills can't trade up for a QB then plan B would be a trade for Foles later in the season if Wentz is 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historically backs fall off a cliff around 30. He is on the back 9 of his career not the front. To expect the same output as hes previous 3 years would be foolish.

GreggTX Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 As it stands right now, I don't expect the Bills to win more than 4 games in 2018, but we still have the draft and if we get 3 or 4 guys that have rookie seasons like White did, then maybe. I would add that I am very unimpressed by the FA's we've signed so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luka Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 We made the playoffs with guys like Tyrod, Joe Webb and Peterman playing QB so I would have to say yea, we're still a playoff team with AJ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
