No. You said exactly what I posted in bold type.

You used YPG to say the Cardinals are the worst. "Again, and I hate to sound like a broken record here, but the Cardinals are averaging fewer yards per game than the Bills currently (220-234)." I pointed out that it's a faulty way to determine who's worse. You're flopping around worse than a fish like your avatar is holding.

Yeah. Like the DVOA that is being used here. Now there are better ways than YPG after you used that and I how showed how faulty that is.

The Bills average 7 plays per game more than the Cardinals for a whopping 14 more yards per game. Which means they average 2 yards per play in those 7 additional plays. The Bills are by far the worst as I originally stated no matter how much you try to dispute it.

You clearly don't get the rankings based on DVOA.

No kidding?!? Back to the original point of the BIlls' offense being off to the worst start through seven games in modern history. From the ESPN+ article by FBO: Football Outsiders' DVOA (defense-adjusted value over average) ratings break down every play individually, looking for success based on down and distance, and adjusting based on situation and opponent. We've broken down play-by-play going back to the 1986 season, giving us 33 years of NFL history to analyze. After their 37-5 loss to Indianapolis, the Bills now come out as 53.2 percent less efficient than the average team this year. That's the worst offense we've ever tracked through seven games. One of the important aspects of DVOA is that every year is normalized so the average team is zero. That helps put Buffalo's offensive impotence into the context of all the rule changes and strategic advances that have given 2018 the most offense-friendly environment in NFL history. Right now, the entire league is averaging 363 yards per game, which would easily surpass the previous record of 350. Buffalo is averaging just 234 yards per game, over one-third less than the league average. No team has had an average that low since the 2005 San Francisco 49ers ... but in a season in which the league average was just 316 yards per game.

Do you even need to ask that question?

This is what I posted along with the tweet "If it helps you sleep at night, then blame it on Peterman and tell yourself that the Bills aren't the worst." Which kept it on the subject that you tried to blame on Peterman. Again, you shifted topics by bringing up other QBs who didn't have jack to do with your reasoning for why the Bills' numbers are so bad.

That wasn't the point. You wanted to blame the putrid offensive numbers on Peterman and I posted that to show it wasn't on him. You then shifted the subject to other QBs. Good one.

This isn't about any other QB. You were making the case the Bills horrid offensive numbers should be laid at the feet of Peterman. I posted something to show that was not the case. It's just a historically bad offense for several reasons including bad QB play.

If it helps you sleep at night, then blame it on Peterman and tell yourself that the Bills aren't the worst.

The plan was not for the Bills to have an HBO.

Griffen: Off-Field Issues Were 'Bigger than Football'

Mike Reiss ESPN Staff Writer The Patriots are using one of their two designated to return/IR spots on CB Duke Dawson, who practiced on Wednesday. Meanwhile, RB Sony Michel (knee), TE Rob Gronkowski (back/ankle), OT Marcus Cannon (concussion), CB Eric Rowe (groin) and DE Deatrich Wise Jr. (ankle/knee) were not spotted. Practice-squad RB Kenneth Farrow went from spending all of 2017 on IR following ankle surgery to taking handoffs from Tom Brady at today's practice. His smile tells the story of a successful comeback, as he is one option to help the team's injury-depleted RB ranks.

PFW in Progress 10/24: Patriots - Bills Preview; Practice Report (2:00:55) We preview the divisional matchup between the Patriots and the Bills on Monday Night Football. Erik Scalavino drops by for a practice report. We discuss Rob Gronkowski and Sony Michel's injuries and offer our thoughts on potential Patriots trades. Presser Points: Belichick - Bills provide good road test One of the true staples of Patriots coverage is Bill Belichick’s Wednesday press conference that usually features the coach waxing poetic about the upcoming opponent. Since the Patriots will be heading to Buffalo to take on the toothless Bills offense Monday night, this week was a bit more challenging. After opening with some positive words about the Bills defense and then special teams, Belichick eventually turned to a Bills offense that has scored just 81 points (or 133 fewer than the Patriots) all season. For Belichick, it was indeed challenging, but not impossible. “Offensively, some explosive players – running backs, tight ends, receivers,” Belichick began. “[Derek] Anderson’s obviously a really experienced guy that both Brian [Daboll] and Sean [McDermott] have a lot of experience with. I’m sure he’ll be able to handle things the way they want it done. Wrap Up 10/24: Gronk, Michel don't practice Under a light rain, the Patriots went back on their practice field midday Wednesday to begin preparing for this week’s visit to Orchard Park, N.Y., where they’ll face the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football. Not surprisingly, the list of absent players was a bit longer than normal after the number of injuries before and after last week’s game at Chicago. Most notably, tight end Rob Gronkowski (ankle, back) and rookie running back Sony Michel did not appear during the roughly 15-minute viewing window for media at the beginning of the session. Belichick Breakdown: Top Plays against the Bears (6:10) Bill Belichick breaks down the key plays from New England's victory over the Chicago Bears.

How Lorenzo's New Role Helped Maximize His Impact When head coach Sean McDermott and his staff came through the doors of One Bills Drive in January of 2017, Lorenzo Alexander was two weeks away from being named Pro Bowl MVP. It put an exclamation point on a career-best season for the pass rusher, who logged 76 tackles, 12.5 sacks, six pass breakups and an interception all while serving as a key performer on special teams in 2016 for the Bills. The 2017 season however, brought a large degree of change. Going from a 3-4 to a 4-3 system, Alexander was asked to play off the ball as a linebacker in their base defense and then as a nickel linebacker in subpackages. He was often asked to cover tight ends and backs in passing situations. Thrust into a dramatically different role in a new defensive system, Alexander did what he could to make it work, but his impact on games wasn’t as noticeable as it was the year before. So, McDermott and his defensive staff got to work this past offseason to more effectively maximize Alexander’s strengths for their defense.
