  1. That's still not a terrible group of skill players. You're correct, they're above average at best, but plenty of teams have made runs with worse at the position. Just look at the Patriots' WR depth chart in 2006 when they lost an absolute shootout in the AFC Championship. The top receiver was fucking wide eyed Reche Caldwell (who also dropped a sure TD while completely uncovered late in that game)

    The year after that was when Wes Welker and Randy Moss were brought in. The rest is history...?

  2. Re: The Bills Defense, both Tom Brady and the specific gameplan were the top reasons for the Pats' offensive success. Tom typically had the ball out of his hand in less than 2 seconds on a ton of plays. He obviously knows the offense incredibly well, and knows both where his receivers will be and where he's going with the ball. Even facing pressure, he can deliver an accurate pass to a receiver who hasn't made a break in his route yet.

    That's typically the gameplan the offense has used against top defenses the past decade. Your offensive line doesn't have to block for as long for passing plays; the run game is essentially used as a change of pace and for short distance conversions. Dion Lewis fits the RB role for this offense insanely well, and he'll be featured plenty in games that are close.

    Barring injury, it's hard to see the Bills missing the playoffs this year. Granted, we're less than 1/4 of the way into the season and things can change quickly.

  3. If all of our offensive skill players manage to remain healthy (always a huge if, obviously) I can't see a way for the offense to be stopped. There are too many offensive threats and the offensive line has held up well so far. Even against top defensive lines, Tom

    Brady has an insane arsenal of short passing weapons at his disposal that are tough to compete with play to play.

    This is thanks in no small part to Dion Lewis. The guy has looked incredibly explosive and has been utilized as a true 3 down back. It's hard to imagine he was out of football last year after being cut by the Browns. I'm really hoping everyone stays healthy and we ride this offense to another 1 seed in the playoffs

  4. Your run D didn't stop DeAngelo even before that guy got hurt. On his first carry, he got like 18 yards!

    And your defense decided not to cover Gronk at all on one play. I guess that means they're the worst defense ever, right? I mean, come on. Back to your own goal line and you can't even line up across from the top offensive weapon in the game? Lol
