No it's not. Krebs was awful. He's not an NHL player. Mitts is inconsistent, a hallmark of many a top round bust. Krebs is bad all the time, a hallmark of a 21 year old who shouldn't be in the NHL.

And, as I've said over the years, fans value expected statistics far more than teams. I have never heard a team directly mention expected whatever, but I have heard them talk about zone entries over a rolling time space, things that are actually countable.

I don't value statistics, Krebs is 21yrs old, Mitts is a fat 24yr old that I know what I have, and it ain't good. If you are developing you are playing Krebs 100% over Mitts right now, and it's stupid not to even think that.

I'mma take this time to be real for a second, Victor Olofsson is literally the posterboy for the creation of that INCORRECT line of thought.

This is a good post

These analytics guys can't get a feel for the game.
All they do is compare stats, many of the stats are skewed.

Easy to look at a spread sheet and say "donnie should have done this"

Really a joke , asplund is a prime example

Donnie is a bad coach for not using aspkund over mitts/ olo/ vinny hinny. That's a joke, asplund sucks.
Don sees it.

“We’ve become so enamored with Allen as a talent…they don’t have a good OL…they have one good receiver and a bunch of other guys…this is not a super talented offense.”

@GregCosell not pulling any punches discussing what he sees from the Bills offense:

His (lack of) stats speak for themselves. Don't know what he'll be next year or two years down the road, but he's terrible at 21.

Soccer might be more boring than Golf

But to be fair,
calling soccer “football” makes a hell of a lot more sense than what we call football

Why do people not recognize the hardship the Bills have overcome? Is anybody with a record as good as theirs the walking wounded like the Bills? I've never seen a team get ripped for winning two games in a row on the road, without the ability to practice properly for one, and having a home game taken for that same one. From the outside looking in, I say the Bills look fine as long as they can get healthy at the right time. There's nobody they can't beat. Injures have stolen their ability to crush every team, but that's the NFL.

Ok, fair enough
Phrasing it like that makes more sense

Or just, “Krebs isn’t an nhl player- YET” would work better as well

The super talented defense is really banged up, and the offense has mediocre talent besides Diggs.

It will need to be superhero playoff Josh to win anything in the postseason

I think it's a given Allen will be great in the playoffs. Him and Mahomes are money in the bank.

He's a very talented player that clearly needs to grow his game. His defensive game is already better than Casey's. I'll take Casey's shot over Krebs but everything else, I'm taking the kid.

the build has always been, great defense, Josh will get us enough points to win most games.

having a better offensive line would vastly improve the run game. it's been pretty sour this year. nothing like the rex ryan OL, but for a great team, pretty bad. I don't hate the idea of spending a 1st on the OL. They can't afford (literally and figuratively) not to.

Davis is a mediocre #2 receiver

If he’s your second best weapon, your weapons aren’t very good

He’s still very good for a mid round pick and is a big play threat at any moment

McKenzie was used perfectly by Daboll to end the year. He’s been more or less lost outside of a few games this season.

You’d think the 14-15 mil TE would be a bigger threat than 2-3 catches per game

Davis regressed. Dirty regressed. Knox isn't used and it's (frank)ing stupid. OBJ isn't just a flashy signing, it's a required one.

I just want him to try Asplund-Krebs-Hino/Mitts/Olofsson, see if anything sticks. You can't do any worse.
