I'd agree that the Defense has been better than Josh so far this year. But Josh is more important for determining the outcome of games. If Josh has a good game, we'll win 99.9999999999% of the time, aside from 13 seconds. Josh can lose games for us even if the defense plays well. See Miami, Jax, Wind game, Pittsburgh etc. Most of are losses are when Josh has an off day.

I think it’s safe to say McBeane are terrible at evaluating RB talent. (And run blocking o-line)

Popping in to say the announcer is full of ***** on the helmet to helmet hit Mackenzie took. Initiating with the crown is not a requirement to call a penalty there. And it doesn’t matter that he was an established runner. also: why the hell did we waste a down giving Zach Moss a touch after the INT? We just blew our chance to comeback

Not happy that the opposing secondary is immune to committing penalties. Just like last week.

That’s 6 blockers vs 4 rushers in your example. Notice anything different about the Allen fumble play?

Singletary isn't late recognizing the blitz here. He's late recognizing that Dawkins got beat 1v1 at the speed of light. Singletary is supposed to pick up the delayed blitz in this protection, Dawkins is supposed to handle the 1v1 on the outside. If you watch the play as it develops, the Dolphins do bring a delayed blitz with #15 up the middle. And Singletary would have been in position to pick him up if not for trying to cover for Dawkins. Josh read the defense correctly and had us in in the correct protection. Dawkins single handedly blew it. See the full clip below.

1st & 10 at TEN 40 (3:18 - 1st) Z.Moss right end to TEN 40 for no gain (R.McCreary). 2nd & 10 at TEN 40 (2:40 - 1st) (Shotgun) J.Allen pass short right to S.Diggs to TEN 31 for 9 yards (T.Avery). 3rd & 1 at TEN 31 (2:10 - 1st) (Shotgun) Z.Moss up the middle to TEN 31 for no gain (Z.Cunningham). 4th & 1 at TEN 31 (1:18 - 1st) (Shotgun) J.Allen pass incomplete short right to Z.Moss (Z.Cunningham). Giving touches to Zach Moss killed this drive. He’s sub-replacement level and shouldn’t touch the ball until garbage time

Remember when a bunch of ya’ll tried to tell me I was wrong about Zach Moss costing this team wins? He’s literally trash. A drive killer.

Moss helped the least of all players on the Bills to move the chains. He gained 1 first down on his 12 touches. 3 yards per touch. He didn't fight for extra yards and gain a first down a single time.

Moss fails the eye test. The stats back up the failed eye test. Of running backs last season who totaled 10 or more targets on the season, 3.5 yards per reception would rank 78th out of 79. Do you want the 78th worst ypc running back in the league getting most of our check-down volume?

Decent gain?? 8 yards?? Moss had a long gain of 8 yards receiving. And a long of 8 yards in the run game. 6 rush for 15 yards. Long of 8. Pitiful Take out the long: 5 rush 7 yds or 1.4yards/rush avg. Pitiful. 6 catches for 21 yards. Long of 8. Pitiful Take out the long 5 for 13yds, 2.6yards/catch avg. Again, it's pitiful. Motor got 8 Rush attempts to Moss's 6. Motor 2 pass attempts to Moss's 6. Motor got 10 touches to Moss's 12. Motor put up 62 yards to Moss's 36. 6.2 yards per touch to 3 yards per touch. If you want to beat the Bills, leave the check-down to Moss open all game.

And other teams will also key in on forcing us to rely on our check-down options. Moss being the worst option on the team and one of the worst in the league. It's not rocket science to say that if we're being forced to rely on check-down options, we should want good players in that position. And Moss is not. Moss did not move the chains. Practically every 3rd/4th down was a result of giving moss the ball on 1st or 2nd down.

If the Bills continue to rely on Moss to lead the team in touches, it's going to cost them wins. 6 carries for 15 yards, and 1 fumble. That's 2.5 yards per carry. 6 catches for 21 yards on 6 targets. 3.5 yards per catch. (credit to Moss for catching all 6 targets) 12 total touches/targets for 36 yards or 3 yards per touch. The Bills attempted 31 passes and ran the ball 24 times (excluding the final kneel down). 55 offensive plays and Moss got the ball on 12 or 21.8% of the total. More than 1 in 5 plays went to Moss. Yet he accounted for 36 of 412 total yards of offense. 8.7% of the total yards, or about 1 in 12. Midway into the 3rd Moss accounted for +25% of the total touches. That's more than 1 in 4. In one of the best offenses in the league Moss consistently has put up pedestrian like numbers. He's average on a good day and below average on most days. He's the least talented and least effective player on offense, yet we give him the largest share of the touches. It's mind blowing. And it's not like feeding Moss the ball stopped Allen from taking hits either... I don't see how giving the worst offensive skill player on the team the most touches is a winning strategy in the long term.

Moss has 25% of the total offensive touches for the Bills, leading the team. They are feeding him touches like he’s a super star. Moss 3.3 yards per touch Singletary 9 yards per touch

Screw this “let’s give Zach Moss every other drive” crap. Put motor back in and put this game away

Wow is our defense good at racking up sacks. Been saying it since last trade deadline, I wish we were the team that had traded for Von. Would have been us winning the SB

Before that last 13 yard drive for the Bills, Zach Moss accounted for 25%(6 touches) of the total offensive touches, and only 11.5%(20yards) of the Bills total yards. That’s wayyyy too many touches for a player with 0 upside.

Our defensive scheme has a really high floor, but a really low ceiling, and it works without any game breaking talent. It's why we crush bad to mediocre offenses and then can get crushed by some good offenses that adjust to our scheme, who usually have game breaking talents on offense. We play a very vanilla scheme and basically never throw in any exotic looks or blitzes or adjustments. And when our scheme breaks, it breaks badly. I think there was a stat that we allowed something like the fewest 10+ yard runs against, but the most 20+ yard runs.

Bills trade for Von Miller + OBJ and that's Josh lifting the Lombardi, not Stafford.

No, lotteries do nothing to prevent tanking. And lotteries are actually worse at distributing high picks. Edmonton Oilers only finished last twice, but they picked 1st overall 4 times in 6 years. New York Rangers have picked 1st and 2nd overall in back to back years while finishing like 10th last. The Buffalo Sabres have finished last 4 times in the past 8 years and only picked 1st twice. As a fan, if you suffer through a last place season, you deserve the 1st pick in the draft. There's plenty of risk involved for ownership and management as well. Look at the Sabres. They botched the rebuild following the tank and now 3 general managers/front offices later and the Pegulas are bleeding 10's of millions of dollars every season for close to a decade and have nothing to show for it on the ice or in their bank account.

Edmunds reminds me of former Buffalo Sabre Rasmus Ristolainen. Big freak of an athlete. All the elite physical tools to be a hall of famer, but no tool box. He thinks the game in slow motion, is always 1 or 2 steps behind the play, rather than 1 step ahead. Even the few times he's in position to make a big TFL or stop a guy short he usually wiffs on the tackle. I guess the real question is, are there better players out there and available? He's made 2 pro-bowls, seems like the talent level at this position is severely lacking league wide. But would the team be better off plugging in "just a guy" where Edmunds usually is? Would we even notice a difference?

It’s driving me nuts that Taylor Lewan is allowed to fidget around in his stance and false start on every down.

Bills got way too cocky after the blocked punt. Need to stay serious, go up 17-0 and then pull the starters. Now it’s. 10-7 dog fight, every play risking a starters health

Grounding on Ryan there nobody within 10 yards

Allen is #2 in both those Categories Brady has 39TD, Allen has 38 Herbert 4,693 yards, Allen 4667, Brady 4661
