Sit him for Jax and play Face of the Franchise/Gabe Davis in the slot. The bills WRs all can play any spot but IMHO Sanders would be the best guy to spot Beasley if he misses the game. Would let Davis play outside where his size and skills on sideline patterns are maximized. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangarang Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Crazy to think how the game has changed in favor of QBs. Years ago, 65% completion percentage and 100 QB rating made you a top 5 QB. Nowadays, most starting QBs are at 60% and half the league has 100 rating. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the team with the bye needs to win one less game which is a huge advantage probability wise and I’d say we’re the favorite for that now so our super bowl odds don’t sound too high to me You think he road to the SuperBowl is easier in the AFC? There are 5 teams in the NFC that have a shot (Tampa, GB, Cardinals, Rams and Cowboys primarily) but in the AFC, there are at least 10 in the conversation (Buffalo, Chiefs, Ravens, Chargers, Browns, Bengals, Steelers, Patriots,Titans, Raiders maybe Colts?) Maybe you’re right that the NFC is more top heavy, but the AFC is much deeper in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 On 11/1/2021 at 10:18 AM, Fan in Chicago said: I feel bad for the kid. I feel a bit bad for Lawrence, but part of me is Salty over the power of narrative. The narrative when the Jags drafted Lawrence was "consensus no-brainer pick. He was a generational talent set to take a cursed Jaguars franchise and turn them into a contender. A golden-armed prodigy taking the form of something the NFL hadn’t seen since Andrew Luck." So now that he's completing 59.6% of his passes and has thrown 9 picks to 8 TDs, the narrative is that "Trevor Lawrence is being failed by the entire Jaguars organization". It makes me salty because in Allen's rookie season, he was considered way too raw to take starter reps in training camp and preseason, then pitchforked into the first game at halftime. His OL was Dawkins -Ducasse (last season) -Bodine (last season)-Miller-Mills (last season as starter) - so 3/5 guys on their way out of the league and 1/5 guard who went on to play for some bad OLs. His top WR were Zay "13 ypg for LVR" Jones, fat Kelvin Benjamin (last year in football), and rookie Robert Foster. And yet because of the "narrative" that Allen was "a parody of a first round draft pick" (see Josh Allen receipts thread) etc, the "narrative" his first year wasn't that the organization had mismanaged the situation and hadn't put enough talent around him; the narrative was that he sucked. 8 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I had workable all-22 to go through the game play by play, but this is plain and simple bull#### from what I have seen. Did Feliciano get beat at times, Yes. Did he block well and Do His Job at others, Also Yes. He's not a top OG. But he's not trash. He's paid like a low-level starter (#28 in AAV on his contract, I believe), with possibly a bit of a premium because he's proven he can play both sides and play center capably. He plays at that level. Beane seems to have a pattern to take multiple "shots on goal" at a position when he doesn't have the ammo for a big move. I believe Beane thought that with Forrest Lamp and Jamil Douglas in FA, possible that Boettger could take a step and Feliciano or Ford improve after a full off season of training, he'd done enough. He needed to succeed 2/5 shots. IMHO Beane made a mistake not investing more in the OG position (draft or FA), but his FA dollars were limited and he had to make hard choices. And I can see the logic of what he did do. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But part of the problem was moving to RG. They had one injury and moved three people to different positions That's gonna go with the territory if they continue with the notion of starting Williams at G. Williams is a much better player at RT than Bates or Ford or Doyle at this point. Boettger has played capably at LG last season but apparently struggles to play both sides. I'd like to see someone evaluate how Bates did at RG because this might be our chance to check out what Dawkins-Boettger-Morse-Bates-best available RT would look like.

Has D Williams been bad at guard? I am seriously asking. I thought he played well there against the Texans and Chiefs and was serviceable against the Titans. I personally am comfortable with him and Brown at the right guard and tackle. It’s the LG spot that in my opinion in the hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't watched enough tape and if I had watched enough tape, unlike all the experts on TBD I don't feel I know enough about the Bills blocking schemes and assignments to judge for sure. I think Brown-Williams in general looked better than Williams-Ford, but Brown for sure made a goof that resulted in a pick in the Titans game. I saw Morse getting picked and having no one to pass his guy off to while Williams was off in space going "no one to block, no one to block" but that's the sort of thing where I don't know what Williams is supposed to do. I think he played way better than Ford, but that's kind of a low bar 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I can see the logic of what he did do. Man calm down. I was going for some humor. But since you brought it up... It's not really debatable that our o line has problems. Im not mad at Beane. Can only do so much in one season. He chose to try and beef up the D line. I don't have a problem with that. I think his next move needs to hit on beefing up the o line. Josh will end up Cam Newton if he constantly feels rushed like he is. As mediocre as they are at pass blocking, they are even worse at run blocking.

I can see why you are salty about the narratives but much of the media has had to eat crow degrading Allen except for a few doofuses like that Nick dude. As for Lawrence, it's unfortunate that he gets hyped, then put in a terrible situation and questionable coaching with none of it his own doing. Some (not you) may say he has to grow up but he really is just a kid with a lot of expectations on his shoulders. Seems like a curse of talent. Of the two, Allen's situation was and is better - bashed by the media but a terrific coach and FO.
