Buffalo is not playing like an elite team. That New England team that whipped us is also not that good of a team. We will see how it goes.

I think we need to let the 2025 class develop. Remember at one point early during last season the 2024 class was gonna be a killer. And we had all kinds of people chirping about how the 2021 Draft was the greatest of all time. Early returns are promising. Let's hope it continues.

Look, guys....this horse has been beaten enough. CJ struggling doesn't mean Bryce is good or even better. Yes it can raise questions about the grass always being greener but regardless of which of those horses your bandwagon is hitched to, you need big improvements in play. Period. The one thing you can say for CJ is that at least he had a full season of showing elite play. We are still waiting on that for Bryce between benching, injuries, etc.

Depends on who is available that free agency cycle, which we would never know, sadly.

I am not getting too far ahead of myself on expectations. I predicted 4-7 wins and I feel pretty good about that considering the rest of the remaining schedule. The biggest remaining thing to figure out is Bryce. We have to get that situation determined over the remainder of his starts. I am 90-10 against picking up that 5th year but that scenario should immediately involve a trade when that happens. I suspect it will not happen that way at all. Ekwonu looks great, so that fantastic. Brown and Horn are staying healthy and living up to those massive contracts. That's amazing. And the 2025 guys are looking filled with promise. Sadly the 2024 class just keeps looking worse. So my remaining focus is on the development of TMac, Jimmy Horn, Coker, XL, Scourton, Umanmielen, Evans, etc. If we can get a few wins from that group this roster feels demonstrably better. Wharton has played well for the FA pickups too.

I am gonna say that I don't know that all of the top 15 QB's would this offense cooking. Not only due to fit but I also have yet to be super impressed with DC the playcaller. For all the talk of DC being hamstrung by Bryce, I am not convinced he is a terribly adept OC. Not saying the bulk of our offensive struggles are not primarily Bryce but I wouldn't be so sure an upgrade at QB would instantly turn us into an elite offense. I still question DC. Also, I will point out that most top 15 QB's would not be super pleased to be looking at the prospect of our WR Corps and TE group.

That includes YAC. IAY is a metric that shows air travel of all attempted passes, so it is a far more accurate representation of pass depth.

IDGAF if it's horizontal, vertical or backwards in terms of passing attack. Just make it work and be efficient. We don't seem to be able to accomplish even that on a consistent basis.

Yeah we had that here too. Baby GOAT, Kyle Allen. How did that turn out? Same as it did in NY for Mike White.

His career Intended Air Yards/Attempt is 6.8. Literally almost a full yard lower than Bryce. He is a dink and dunk QB.

That's a fair point. Also not benefiting from the defensive scheme either, IMO.

Jenkins was a more of a pass rushing threat on a more consistent basis. He wasn't the physical freak DB is. DB has a much higher ceiling. He just needs to keep getting better and keep dominating.

I think DB CAN be better. I don't think he is quite yet.

Yeah. I mean there isn't much we can do about it at this point. Just watch it happen and see what comes next.

I don't think there are many real Bryce stans just stubborn folks that don't want to go through it all again. But we will. IMO, the writing is on the wall. Bryce may improve but he isn't gonna be a franchise caliber QB.

I mean look at our drafting. We are a team that bases way too much of its decisions on those outliers.

I mean, brother it's been more like 7.5 years. Ain't poo changed.

The Rico thing is so obvious. And we so obviously won't do it.

Oh look, it's Kyle Allen.

Eh....surely you didn't buy into that BS? I damn sure didn't. Taking credit for Baker fuging Mayfield. What a fuging joke.

General tone of the thread. Probably shouldn't have quoted you directly. Not to mention, this White kid has a career 6.8 Yds IAY. Bryce is 7.7. That is not even an upgrade in targets down the field. It's literally a downgrade.

So you guys are pining over Hendon Hooker and fuging Mike White??? That's insane. Literally. All of us want better and hope that happens but asking to watch 3 incomplete 40+ yard passes a game while getting blasted by 20+ points is not the sort of panacea I think any reasonable fan wants to witness. I'd rather limp along with that anchor in Bryce Young than watch the rebirth of the Wienkie/Clausen eras, thanks. At least until something actually, REALLY better comes along. Jesus Christ. Some of you guys might need to take a break from the NFL for a while if this is the type of poo in your heads.

Yeah, so could Matt Corral and Will Grier. JaMarcus Russell too. How is that working out for them? I am far from a Bryce fan but the obsession over these long bombs is literally completely absurd.

I mean, White is certainly capable as losing a game as badly as Plummer, no doubt. Same with Hooker.
