JESSEFEFFER

The biggest flaws of the traditional passer rating are the total whiff it makes on "sack avoidance" and the impact of QB runs. Since it totally ignores any play where the ball did not leave the QBs hand with a forward motion, sacks (and strip sacks) scrambles and designed runs and ball security do not matter one bit. Avoid a sack and throw the ball away to save the yardage and it hurts passer rating because the completion % goes down. This is how Rob Johnson's passer rating stayed relatively high. Take the sack, lose the yardage, kill the drive, piss the OL off but passer rating is not affected. Also, passer rating does not take into account the game situation where these passing only stats are accumulated. Total QBR tries to account for every QB play, the game situation and the impact it had. That alone makes it a better metric but it has its mystery meat components. Up until those last two passes of the first half, Josh wasn't really impacting the game much. The fascinating part of this is the Bills continue to try to balance how much Josh Allen to insert into the offense. and when. The Ken Dorsey approach (too much Josh, all the time, which leads to more mistakes and exposes the defense) or the Joe Brady approach where there are more plays called that do not ask him to be special and tries to protect the defense but you end up with back to back 3 and outs which puts your team behind.

I was a bad dad and took my 15 and 14 year olds to the game with school the next day. My wife wanted to leave early in the 4th and I said we'd give it one more drive. Then the Ravens scored using only two plays and I had no leg to stand on and I was pissed too. As it was, I got us home at 1:00 AM but if we had stayed we would have been stuck in a huge post game traffic jam which was 99% likely to be comprised of pissed off and drunken (some--100% likely) ) Bills fans. But, I am a generous sort of guy and I will gladly donate $68 to Oishei on behalf of the four of us just as homage to the Football Gods that we were gifted Josh Allen.

It gives Gabe access to the Bills training staff and facilities. Offers proof that when BB says he loves the player and not the price tag that he means it. Adds a trusted and familiar face to the locker room. Gives them a solid option to help them through the inevitable WR injuries encountered during a 17 game season. Costs very little in actual dollars due to offsets. Seems like an easy to like, practice squad move to me.

Blowout Bills wins, high Takeaway numbers ( short fields) Injuries and the wide range ball distribution combine to limit the numbers for any pair of pass catchers. I think they go over if you count the post season games they will play. 😉

The Rams were a smart choice with a legit path the 53. Maybe he felt he would be competing with Andersen for a job here and that didn’t sit right with him.

Maybe he's done it on both but for Lewan to attempt to pull that joke on Josh after Josh had already done to them would be rather weak. Here is the one I saw, had to use AI to find it. Barstool sports. Josh with Big Cat and PFT

I think that was a different podcast duo. Not ex NFL guys.

Joe Burrow's hidden flaw is sack avoidance. He is good to great at everything else so the inclination is to blame the OL but the same thing existed at LSU. I think he was better in 2024 but I can't find the numbers to back that up.

My family went there on the return from a Cooperstown trip. I think there was a roller coaster that went out into the lake? Maybe I’m thinking of Crystal Beach? Anyways, I made an effort to take my kids to the water park there even though it’s not on the same actual ground.

He was also good to great in pass protection. He got hurt his rookie year during and missed the Chiefs AFCC game. He might have helped since the pass protection was an issue that game. Maybe I am misremembering,

Context matters. She was asking what was some under the radar aspect of the team that the media and fans don't talk about much. Josh was saying that he does not really know what the conversation is like among the fans and media so that was tough to answer. It's not that her question made no sense to him.

Some creative thinking to put them together. Should be a fun group to watch.

Steelers sign the ghost of Drew Bledsoe. What could go wrong?

The day I spent there I arrived early thinking parking would be a problem, so we opened the place up. Carolina had a home game then (Cam Newton had just been in the traffic accident) and their fans trickled in for their pregame meal and drinks. I think any downtown stadium has a tailgating situation that has severe limitations ="sucks."

Tavern on the Tracks which is 7 or so blocks from BOA stadium has my endorsement. I spent the day there with my wife watching the game in which Bacarri Rambo intercepted Aaron Rodgers twice to beat the Packers, December 14, 2014. Had a great time and they were a very active group. I'd bet they would plan big things for when the Bills actually come to town. You might want to contact their Bills Backer group.
