Yes, he had Diggs (who routinely disappeared in the playoffs), but that is it. Mahomes hasn't had great wide receivers the last couple years besides Kelce their tight end But he has a healthy defense come play off time and the best play caller of the last 25 years And he still averaged 22 points per game in the regular season the last 2 years... Josh is actually still improving Patrick is pretty stagnant Edited 2 hours ago by Buffalo716 Quote

When it comes to the position as a whole, Brady is a few tiers above him. I find it hard to judge QB's based on skills to actual results. Generally speaking, Brett Favre is known for making boneheaded mistakes at critical times. He cost his teams more playoff games than anyone else. But he was super talented. I don't know where to place him in a top ten list. How does one evaluates his talent vs actual performance? Quote

Considering him and Aaron Rodgers have 35 years of Hall of Fame play and they only have two Super bowls Green Bay was not a top-notch franchise surrounding them with talent for 18 years a piece .. like the bills they draft and retain their own players Usually means paying more for them... And you're Superstar quarterback has to be the guy Brett favre might have thrown a lot of interceptions but he also had the most passing yards and passing touchdowns in NFL history when he retired.. and shown he can win a Super bowl If he had belichick for 20 years I believe he has more than one Super bowl same with Aaron Rodgers Brett favre play playoff games where his leading rusher had 29 yards... That's no help in the NFC championship ... you're going to throw more pics when you have 29 yards rushing cuz you're going to be throwing the ball a lot Edited 2 hours ago by Buffalo716 1 1 Quote

Yes, he had Diggs (who routinely disappeared in the playoffs), but that is it. Mahomes has gone through stretches with poor receivers. He has always had Kelce, but Kelce has been a shadow of himself the last year or two. I think Mahomes is currently being held back by the lack of talent around him, including an oline that has problems. I think the Bills and Chiefs have a lot of similarities, actually. It's just frustrating that the Bills have been slightly below the Chiefs. Quote

We know the reason why 2005 Brett favre had a worse receiving core than the bills have right now ... He had one occasional pro bowler in Donald driver who he made much better... he was not an All-Pro type like we even had with diggs... And his number two three and four were much worse than what we have... he had Donald driver, three bum WR and not a great tight end The bills still do have shakir, and Palmer and Kincaid ... Those three guys are better than any weapon favre had in 05 outside driver Of course he throws a lot of pics he's a gunslinger with no weapons Josh led the league in interceptions 2 years ago also... Gunslinger's throw interceptions.. we rain Josh in , with a ball control offense Remember Josh idolizes Brett favre... He was a very very good quarterback first ballot Hall of famer Aaron Rodgers didn't throw interceptions has the best touchdown to interception ratio of all time and still didn't win multiple Super bowls with their franchise Edited 1 hour ago by Buffalo716 Quote

Dafan Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago 3 hours ago, Scott7975 said: This. The Bills run D actually does a good job on most downs. Its those long runs that happen a couple times a game that skew everything. There are many run plays that the D gives up 5/6 yards per carry as well. But the long runs do kill them. And don't quote me on this, but I believe it was about a week ago I read an article that the Bills actually had the most tackles for losses vs the run. They just aren't consistent enough. Maybe its the constant rotation of D'lineman 1 Quote

I think Donald driver was fantastic He's not a borderline Hall of famer though.. he's not a two time all pro he averages 48 yards per game in his career But I did say Donald driver is better than what we have.. but then I said his 2 3 4 and two tight ends are worse than what we have Do you think Donald driver's better than Hines Ward?

That was more 90s and they were stacked He did win three straight MVPs and a Super bowl The early and mid 2000s there wasn't much besides Donald driver and their running back ... Kind of like how Josh is shouldering a load now I think Aaron Rodgers did have tremendous offensive talent.. but not the coaching of a Pete Carroll or Bill belichick Edited 57 minutes ago by Buffalo716 Quote
