From Rob Quinn on Twitter:
Gilmore: 13 targets, 9 rec, 169 yd, 13 YPA, 72 YAC, TD, INT, 105.4 passer rating
Tre'Davious White: 20 tkl, 2 TFL, 8 PD (NFL-Best), INT, FR, TD
Allowed 13 rec/26 target- 162 yds, 6.2 ypa, 32 YAC, 53.7 passer rating
Look at that YAC. Gilmore allowing 8 YAC per catch (or 5.5 per target), White allowing 2.5 YAC per catch (or 1.2 per target). Gilmore sucks at tackling and White doesn't, it's that simple.

If Hauschka was here last year instead of Carpenter I think we make the playoffs and Rex is still here this year. Funny how things work out.
-
For all the credit we give the coaches and players for being organized and on the same page, if the Falcons convert there and win the game, the fire would have been uncontrollable. Would have been Rex vs Miami in OT all over again. Glad the players that were on the field got the job done. That said, don't let it happen again.
Falcons could have and should have run it there. They might have scored. We're missing a linebacker! At least Quinn didn't notice either.

Browns: "Should we take Deshaun Watson or Malik Hooker here? Man, tough call. I know- how about we take neither of them, trade the pick and draft Jabby Peppers! Then play him 25 yards off the LOS!" #Moneyball
Then they took EJ Manuel 2.0 in the 2nd round. I said it right after the draft - I hate how they use their picks. They just collect them year after year. It's beyond parody at this point.
-
I just saw this on Twitter. This is unbelievable.
Holy cow.

For the season, TT has four TDs and one INT. Ryan has four TDs and three INTs.
This is where someone would normally say "well Matt Ryan is asked to do more than Tyrod." But is he? He has incredible talent around him and a good offensive line. Clearly the better running game right now. I think Ryan has more manageable downs and distances. Tyrod is consistently put in 3rd and long situations and doing pretty well with them. Ryan has more total pass attempts but is that enough to say he has more responsibility than Tyrod?
I follow Cian Fahey on Twitter and his whole thing is that grading QBs against each other is impossible. They're playing in completely different systems. I don't remember the exact numbers but he mentioned some crazy stat where Winston threw something like 20 passes that travel 10-19 yards last Sunday alone, while Alex Smith has thrown 2 of those passes all season long. Is Alex Smith better than Jamie's Winston? Does Winston run a harder offense? When people speak in certainties like "I would take 20 QBs over Tyrod" these are the kinds of questions I think about. I think there's more of a gray area there than people realize. And it's hard to find QBs that even exist in that gray area! Which is why I've always thought it was nuts to cast out Tyrod and pray on a high draft choice.

Ultimately, yes. However I don't think it's a stretch to say that the Bills offense might need a big passing day or a big running day or to score 3 or 4 touchdowns. The odds are for it. The D has played very well, but don't think that no Julio and no Sanu didn't have an impact on the game
How can losing the best receiver in the game be an excuse for Atlanta, but our offense not having good receivers isn't an excuse for us? I think our wideouts were about on par with theirs today. Tyrod simply outplayed Matt Ryan.
-
He's 10th in passer rating. 11th in yards per attempt. And 9th in completion percentage. With the worst WR corps in the league, a ton of drops, little running game, barely decent protection, and against four good defenses.
Sometimes I wonder if even I am underrating Tyrod.
-
I love how our secondary is playing. Look what the Pats are paying their players in the secondary. Theirs has been arguably worst in the league and ours has arguably been the best. That's incredible cap management and coaching by McBeane.
-
I just have a feeling it will be a real ugly game. The winner will have less than 20 points.

Enlightening Chris Brown article regarding the 4th and 1:
http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2017/10/01/the-bills-4th-1-play-was-a-go-if/
On Buffalos marathon 19-play scoring drive that resulted in a short Stephen Hauschka field goal to push Buffalos lead to seven, the Bills had a chance to go for it on 4th-&-1 from the Falcons one-yard line. It appeared at first like they were in fact going for it. In the end Tyrod Taylor let the play clock run out to take a delay of game penalty. The play ran 40 seconds off the clock and Buffalo took the three points. But head coach Sean McDermott and Taylor both confirmed after the game that there was a play that was on to be executed if the Falcons defense gave them the right look.
Our thought process was to stay aggressive, said McDermott. I thought we did that. It doesnt mean that we always snap the ball to stay aggressive. We were looking for a look (from their defense) and we didnt get the look and thats what game management is.
Looking for an A gap that I could squeeze through at that point, said Taylor of the play. But they were trying to dog the backers. I didnt want to risk it. Figured we were better to walk away with three points rather than get greedy and not get any.
McDermott was asked if they got the look they wanted would they have snapped it.
Potentially, he said smiling.

We also went for it on a 4th and 1 against I think the Panthers. I haven't seen anything to make me think McD is too conservative. The way the Bills organization is run now it wouldn't surprise me if we have an analytics guy running probability calculations on the sidelines and we're just taking the odds. Sometimes that means be conservative, sometimes it means be aggressive. Smart coaches need to have a balance.

I swear after we win the Super Bowl one day 2CB will be there 2 minutes later with the Week 1 thread
-
In other news A.Lynn is off to a bad start while having a franchise QB. I still read around here that people wished we kept him.
I'll take the L on that one. I liked Lynn and wanted him back. Pegulas made the right choice.
-
One of the weirdest things in recent years is watching Bills fans drool over the failure of EJ Manuel. I'm starting to wonder if he actually just slept with all of your wives.
It's nothing like the posters who drool any time Tyrod fails though, right? Not that you would know anything about that.
-
I'll give EJ credit. He's making good throws out there.
-
Amari Coopers has dropped wide open passes all season long
-
If only EJ's points contributed to Derek Carr's points on my fantasy team
-
What happened to Oakland's offense anyways? Even before EJ came in they hadn't done anything going back to last week.
-
I'm sorry but PFF is a joke. How do you give Tyrod a better grade for Carolina than today's game?
-
Oh this nonsense thread again. In which people believed some random Pats beat writer over Boldin himself. Really an embarrassing thread for us.
-
I don't know if we want to go through the history we should probably start long before that? Right? How about calling the 16' draft as it was? How about being first man in love with Tre? Self admitted LSU lover? Shall we continue?
Yeah Glennon lost Meridith and White and between dropped balls and his own lack of confidence he has sucked. He isn't a guy that can make plays on his own and I would never dispute that. Find me a playmaker on that O.
I was just busting your chops
-
That's fine. I give out plenty of brownie points and you are going on a diet.
He sucks. He has always sucked. BB can't hide him in a zone.
Still one of the best posters, and I will continue to pump up guys who give good insight. No hard feelings.
I'd encourage anyone going wild on me to look back at the thread I created which detailed how BB's attempt at ensuring another championship could hasten their demise. Everything has fallen as I mentioned.
I'm not all about patting my own back but seeing the Pats and BB come up flat is tooooooo much to ignore.
How about Glennon though?
-
I continue to be concerned (more so, now) about Zay Jones.
His last target was a catch. I am concerned too but that made me feel a little better.

Maybe they call up Reilly from the PS. What else can we do?
