https://www.cnbc.com/2017/09/30/trump-lashes-out-at-san-juan-mayor-who-begged-for-more-help.html
I think this is actually the worst thing Trump has done in his presidency. From his golf club in New Jersey, he tweeted out an attack on the mayor of San Juan after she pleaded for more help from the federal government. Even for him this is nuts.

Great, the Tyrod haters are already lining up their excuses for why beating the Falcons really didn't prove anything...
Their defense is below average even without the injuries. Beasley did lead the league in sacks last year so that's a huge loss for them. The other injuries shouldn't affect things much. If we can't run the ball on Atlanta that means we have serious problems because their run defense isn't good even before the injuries. On defense we need to get a pass rush going so IMO Schraeder being out is the biggest loss for them. If it turns into a pass happy shootout we'll be happy Beasley is gone for sure.

I was on the edge of my seat for the entire 4th quarter.
I was at that game. Bills fans were all over the stadium and no one sat down for the whole 4th quarter. It was incredibly exciting.

That is confirmed?
Also, any word on Ricardo Allen?
Yes confirmed by ESPN:

Allen is out too. The Falcons are banged up pretty bad.

Breaking news from ShadyBillsFan:
A few Times does not equal All the time.

Ryan Schraeder is out as well. So that's a starting DE, OLB, FS, and RT out for them. If we're going to beat them this is the best chance we're gonna get.

Hey guys, let me ask a subjective question, but throw my qualifiers on it so it steers towards the answer I want!
The last thread he created went so well he just had to create another one.

Report back for the Bills/Jets ratings. I'm sure that will attract as many viewers.
But this is the point, when the ratings decline it's because the game isn't interesting. Very very few people are going to not tune into a game just because of the protests. This is pretty much what I expected. I would wager at least 50% of people online who said they would boycott the NFL have already watched a game since they said that. That's how people are. They get really angry for a week then lose interest.
-
New Orleans vs. Buffalo, I'd rather watch NO everytime given the same level of interest.
NO 7-9 3 straight seasons, but a ton of fun games. I can't remember the last fun game the Bills played.

They have open registration. Just have to provide your age which honestly might be a stumbling block for you.

Lets keep passing on drafting qbs and want for the following draft. Its worked out so well.
Let's randomly draft a QB just to draft one since that's worked out so well. Like in 2013.
-
Yes but whose scouting was McD using?
Carolina's. We traded up for 2 players that had visited Carolina pre-draft but hadn't visited Buffalo. Zay Jones in particular was likely to be Carolina's pick from what I've heard. We traded right above them to snag him.
-
What's even better is that calling the TOs worked! Two great stops!
Good point, so many times during our bad years we'd be forced to call a TO on 3rd down, then our offense would come out and throw a check down short of the sticks, or our defense would give up the 1st. If we're gonna use them at least make an adjustment that works.
-
I might watch 30 minutes of football beyond watching the Bills game each week.
Now you're just being redundant.
-
And that's with the 24th DVOA Defense for 14 games and the 27th DVOA Defense for 15 games. Surely he has no chance of winning 10 games with a Top 5 D...
That's one of the worst arguments I've ever heard on this board. I would love to see him try and back that up.
-
Tate, Marvin Jones, Golladay, Ebron > Matthews, Zay, Clay, Holmes
We have the worst pass catching group in the league.
I don't think he watches the NFL. He watches Bills games.

what the hell is Big Time Throw %
Time to Throw needs to be improved. No O Line can hold back a defense on every passing snap for that long and maintain protection.
Haha you are easily the most transparent poster on this board. You can't throw away the stats you don't like or understand, and say the one stat he ranks 31st in needs to improve (hint: all the mobile QBs make up the bottom 10). Too funny man.
-
They fell 7.1% compared to last year, they just use 17.9% to make the headline stronger because that's what propaganda outlets do. But that sounds about right. I could see 7% of diehard NFL fans being so upset by the protests they stop buying tickets. That's really not a big decrease and it's impossible to know how much is from the protests and how much is from chance.
That's also just one online ticket retailer so who knows if it's a widespread decrease.
I suspect the protests will lead to SOME decrease in ratings, etc., I just don't think it will be that big. Most people don't care that much. They might care enough to whine about it online. But most people won't stop watching entirely.
-
What coach is going to say that they wanted a player back that signed with the best team in the nfl for a lot of money?
Playing in zone is a million times easier than playing in Rexs stupid system. Gilmore would have been great in this system. He just cost too much money.
Gilmore sucked at tackling. Very first game of this year he missed a tackle on Kareem Hunt. McDermott likes sound fundamentals in his CBs and Gilmore wasn't that guy. It's insane what the Patriots payed him but that's what you can do when you have the greatest QB of all time on a cheap deal.
-
I want every Bills qb to succeed. I defended JP, Trent, EJ, Fitz, & whoever.
It is incredibly weird that you defended those QBs but go out of your way to make Tyrod worse than he is. It makes no sense. Like if you defended all those QBs you should think Tyrod is the next Jim Kelly.
-
I was an ej guy and still think he got a raw deal here. It was definitely time to move on but I thought the rug was pulled out from under him first by injury and then by Marrone. He wasn't given a fair shot to develop the only way I think a qb can, by playing games. Now the jets game last year reinforced to me that he most likely would never get it but again the Bills are very much to blame for his poor development imo. Tyrod is much better than EJ and I think he showed it in camp and proved it all throughout the last 2 years. He was luckily developed by Jim Harbaugh and the Ravens before going on the field for the Bills and getting his on the job training.
I was an EJ guy too, I just had a more nuanced opinion on him. After 2013 I didn't want us drafting a QB in the 1st like some fans were calling for. I thought when you draft a QB in the 1st no matter what he does as a rookie you need to give him the 2nd year. Based on how QBs like Carr and Goff have improved in year 2 I still stand by that opinion. But he looked the same in 2014 so I was okay with Orton taking over as starter. Once Tyrod started playing for us I was done with EJ. A few people just couldn't move on.
-
Youre right. Your message board point clearly won your point. The Qb who struggles to get to 150 yards every other week and whose teams limits his throws is clearly superior.
Nope. Your point is Flacco won a Super Bowl 5 years ago and you think GMs would take Flacco over Tyrod (GMs also took Glennon over Tyrod so why should I care anyways?). My point is the stats posted multiple times in this thread. At every efficiency metric Tyrod has out performed Flacco since Tyrod became a starter. If you want to argue they're in the same tier and not so far off okay, that's a point you could try and make. If you want to argue, as you said, Flacco is "a million times better" than Tyrod, you just look foolish.
If all that it takes is 200 yard passing games to win we should win a bunch of them with Tyrod, sadly it's a QB driven league and real good QBs throw not run.
I'm enjoying the win and trying hard to be positive. Go Bills
I have hope because of our D but I have doubt because of our QB.
.
Another guy who supported EJ up until the Jacksonville game. What is up with you guys? You shouldn't have this much confidence in any of your opinions on the QB position. It is bizarre the number of former EJ homers who now disparage Tyrod every chance they get.
-
Did you PM the Cam thing? Ill check. He certainly has struggled this year.
But yup, Id take Flacco or Cam a million times over Tyrod. They are flawed qbs but so is Tyrod. Their upside is much much higher IMo.
Just so we have context, you supported EJ for a while right? Thought he was better than Tyrod even up until the Jacksonville game?
-
Its ok. Youre a homer.
And are you really using a message board to back up a point? Dear Lord. Pats fans talk about Brady being washed up after losses.
You haven't used anything to back up your point. A hypothetical survey of GMs is your best point. Flacco is a name, that's it. He has been awful the past 2 years and continued that trend this year. At this point you sound like you just don't know what you're talking about.
-
I would love to poll NFL Gms and I would bet money on them choosing Flacco. I dont think Flacco is a particularly good qb. I do think nfl teams favor a guy who won a SB, has size, & doesnt dependent on his legs over TT.
Good starting nfl qbs in their prime dont take contract cuts like TT did this offseason.
They dont call passing plays because they dont trust the qb. Its been 3 OCs now.
Visit the Ravens message board. Their fans wish they could get rid of Flacco now but can't because of the contract. They are ready for their next QB. If you think Flacco has been clearly better than Tyrod you must not have watched their games over the past couple years.

To be fair to Trump, he was dealing with the NFL anthem protest crisis which surely takes precedence over a humanitarian crisis in an American territory. Can't expect him to be everywhere at once, you know? Thank god after the last few trying days he can finally relax at his golf club.
