(NoJinx) Von Miller Buffalo Legacy


Riverboat Ritchie

Recommended Posts

Ask Bryce Paup if Miller should go on WOF? Defesive player if the tear and second all time single season sack leader from Bills. I get it. If Bilks win SB Miller will be a key reason why. That said Dawkins,Allen, Diggs,Poyer,Hyde,White,Milano, and hopefully Knox and Edmunds would all be equally if not more deserving.

I, unlike others in this thread think he may be here the 6 years. Maybe a year early at 5. He may get 50+ sacks and 2-3 rings at that time. He will not only go on the WOF, he may enter the HOF as a Bill. Not likely on the last part, but that’s all gonna depend on how many rings he gets here.

Does your typical Bills fan care much for the "Wall of Fame" or is that mostly a TBD thing?


Don’t know about the typical Bills fan, but as a born and raised Buffalonian who went to most of the big games in the 90s, it’s not a huge deal. Yet I do care a lot about it. Like, if Thurman wasn’t on it I would be deeply wounded. Paradox!

Only six games in and way too early, but if we win the big one one with a healthy Von Miller and assuming he plays out his entire 6yr contract here (assumption), do you think he makes Wall of Fame in Buffalo?  He’s a difference maker for sure. Go Bills. 

A: who cares about the wall of fame? Sure, he can take OJ’s spot

B: when he goes to the hall of fame, i assume he’ll go in as a bronco.

I knew he was elite, but he's been up against the best LT's in the NFL so far. Lewan & O. Brown are above average, but Armstead and Staley are also elite. Not to mention Bahktiari is up next and another meeting with Armstead is coming. Trent Brown is very good and he'll face Von twice. Throw in a couple tilts with Taylor Decker & Duane Brown and that's pretty much the best lineup of LT's you can put together minus Trent Williams. To have 6 sacks at this point is crazy. If Von's not still the best playmaker at the Edge position, he's on a really short list.

He's on track to have one of his statistically best seasons ever if we're looking at sack numbers and he's making game changing plays that don't show up on the stat sheet every single week (see that inside stunt on a 3 man rush with a delayed spy that iced the Chiefs game).

 

That being said he's being paid like he's one of the best pass rushers in the league, so I think he's exactly meeting expectations, not exceeding them.

Completely. 

 

At his age, I didn't expect him to be as good as he is this year. He was a MASSIVE difference yesterday... the final play was 90% Von. Mahomes had to account for where Von was on every play. 

 

VM is tied for 2nd in the NFL with 6.0 sacks (6.5 is the NFL leader Alex Highsmith).

 Yesterday was a perfect example of why the Bills signed him.  He was a difference maker yesterday but ultimately he will be judged on what he does in the playoffs. He was a final piece type of move by Beane to win a Super Bowl. So far he has played very well for us.

Stanley didn’t play.  It was rookie Daniel Faalele.

 

who cares though….

 

Von Miller is doing exactly what we brought him here to do.  I expected a lot from Von.  He’s been my favorite non Bill in the league since the Von Miller thread back in 2011 where @1billsfan used a picture of Von Miller standing next to Vincent Jackson as proof of why we should draft him.  He’s too small.  LOL.  Man oh man, there were some terrible takes in that thread.  
 

Von is the closer.  He basically ended 4 different drives with 2 sacks a tackle and hurry.
 

His first sack was on 2nd and 10.  Next play 3rd and 19, incomplete.  

 

His second sack came on 3rd and 6.  Drive over.  

 

The tackle on Mahomes from behind was the play that we couldn’t make last year. there was a chance Mahomes would’ve gotten that first down had Miller not dove and tripped him up.  Just an epic play imo.  
 

I’ve give credit to Taron for his IQ play on the ball for the Gw interception, but Von forced that throw and is equally responsible.  
 

Drive halting plays.  
 

Game winning plays. 
 

Hopefully, Super Bowl winning plays.  Carry on Von.

I don't think so. He's a 1st ballot HOF'er that we are paying a crap ton of $$$ to do exactly this. 

 

We have talent all over the DL to make him excel and not be the primary target to stop.

 

If you didn't notice yesterday, Von was doubled much of the time. He either had two on him, or help from the second TE or RB. Seldom was he singled up on the tackle. He still made plays and got a couple sacks.

 

Mario won't make the WOF. Neither will Von. The WOF is all about long-term Bills contributors who were a part in making the Bills who they are. He sure is good, though.

Bruce Smith played much longer and was not rotated as much.  Bruce is one of the players he admired.

Von Miller will be rotated as long as he plays for Bills, will have top rate training and medical service and he will have deep input in defense.

 

This!

So much of his game is football i.q too.. He looks as good as ever
