The Bills were the 9th best rushing team this year

Lamar had 915 yards rushing this year and is anything but a power runner (what you need in the snow) who's running game is 100% predicated on his speed and ability to cut and make defenders miss.

In no way are the Bills more affected by a snow game than the Ravens are because of what it does to Lamar's threat to run.

agree to disagree man, not gonna bother continuing to go back and forth

Derrick Henry?

I said that in my other post, that yes, it does help Henry because of his power game.  

But removing Lamar's running threat hurts them on the whole more than they're helped by Henry's power running game.  Especially since it then allows the Bills to really focus on Henry and don't need to worry about Lamar quite as much because the snow would slow him down.

It basically means the Bills would no longer need to spy Lamar and it gives them an extra man in the box to focus on stopping Henry.

Like I said before, it's a net negative even though there is one positive for them with Henry in the snow.

While at the same time, the snow probably also helps the Bills running game more, because good luck tackling Allen in those conditions when he runs too.  So if it adds to the threat of Allen running but hurts Lamar's running threat, it's another net positive for the Bills.

There will only likely be 10-15 of those guys in the league at a given time. 

There are 16 currently at $40 mil or more AAV.

Exactly. A lot of these teams are handicapping themselves tying up way too much cap space into QBs that aren't good enough to justify it. You're better off building up a better roster around a guy on a rookie deal.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By cranky · Posted

      Is he really though? Rivera was past his prime and probably shouldn't have even started 2019 so his firing wasn't really unexpected or unwarranted. Rhule lasted two and a half years which was about one year too long in my opinion. Bringing him back that third year certainly wasn't impulsive and I would say Tepper was more patient than he should have been. Wilks finished out that third season and did pretty good but most everyone could see he really wasn't anything more than an intern HC. Bringing him back was not the long term answer so not bringing him back was the correct call. Hiring Reich was a mistake from the beginning and he recognized that fairly quickly. I am sure he knew he was going to catch a lot of sh*t for firing him so quickly ( and boy did he ) but it was absolutely the right thing to do given everything that was going on. The firing may have looked impulsive, but I think it was him recognizing he had royally f*ck up and just dealt with it instead of letting it fester.  That brings us to Canales. 2025 was only his second season and yet he delivered 8 wins and the NFC South title. And while that might not sound great, given the lack of talent and cap space they started with, it's a strong step in the right direction. I couldn't imagine Tepper not being pleased with their progress given the crap the Panthers' have been though under his ownership.

      PFF Best Deep Ball Thrower Award

      At the end of the day we're all holding our breath in anticipation waiting to see if Bryce Young will look and play horribly to begin his fourth season just as he has in his first three seasons. No cherry picking obscure metrics or screaming about haters will change that.

      Cam Newton & Steve Smith Sr. break the silence after 10 years

      By frankw · Posted

      Cam seems to be eager to put the onus moreso on himself and that speaks to his personal growth as a man. He even mentions that maybe he was too hyperfocused on wins and losses which is crazy to consider when you account for the fact that our culture was so pitiful when he arrived and 89 is supposed to be considered the ultimate competitor. While Steve leans on his unspecified trauma as his reasoning for how he was toward a rookie QB and other people in general which makes no sense whatsoever considering this is the guy who physically attacked his own teammates in his younger years. The only positive if you could consider it so that I'm getting from Steve Smith in this convo is the fact that he is actually willing to speak about it with Cam. But he does not seem to want to recognize what he threw away at that time and the cost to both himself and the franchise.
