Let me try this another way... the Bills offense is 24th in 3 and outs per drive. The Jags offense is 22nd in 3 and outs per drive. Why isn't the Jags D tired and giving up 30 to 40 ppg?
The reason is because their defense is good and the best in football right now at getting off the field on third down. Our defense is the worst at getting off the field on third down because they are bad.
Which is all the more reason why the offense needs to pick up the slack. That Jags defense also has a lot more talent than we do because they have picked at the top of the draft the last couple of years and signed good free agents. Trying to compare us to Jacksonville is stupid.

The week before, the only thing that stopped the Saints from scoring on every single first half drive was a fumble and an end-of-the half kneeldown. Against the Jets, yes they scored 24 in the second half, but that was after a first half where TOP was close to 50/50 in the first half and we only had one three and out. I don't think your hypothesis holds any weight. The defense is just bad...it really hasn't had anything to do with the offense the last three weeks.
Offense doesn’t score points, but it’s our defense that lost us games. Got it!!

That might make some sense if they werwnt giving up points in the first half too. Sure the offense goes three and out. That could be negated if the defense got off the field on third down instead of drives that go all the way downfield.
The Saints had 17 first-half points to the Bills 3. The Jets had 10 points in the first half, to the Bills 7.
You guys act like the game was already over before halftime, when each of those was well within reach. It wasn't until the second half when the defense started to get tired that things went south.
In each of those games, the opposing team had the time of possession advantage. In fact, the Saints had double the time of possession.
I'm not saying blame Tyrod for the defenses poor performance, but when people say "Tyrod didn't give up 47 points." I think that's a BS state because he was a major contributor to the Saints game.

Oh my god. Not again. Please.
Care to refute that Tyrod is as much to blame for a poor defensive performance as the actual defense. I think it is.

Agreed.
Never understood the decision to begin with, considering the defense the real issue.
I honestly don't think the defense is that big of an issue. We have had success on defense in the first half, we have been getting blown out in the second half. You know why we get blown out in the second half? It is because our offense can't sustain drives to give our defense a rest, nor is it putting points on the board. When your down 30-3 midway through the third guys tend to just give up and want to stay healthy for another week. Had our offense done things against the Jets, Saints, and Chargers, I don't think you see our defense get gashed like it did.
That's why I hate it when I hear people say, 'Well, Tyrod didn't give up 47 points, he didn't give up 6 rushing touchdowns.' Well, yeah he may not have been on the field, but his play was a big contributing factor. His inability to move the offense and go 3-and-out so much led to those things.

Dareus was a good player, but not a leader and he was paid a massive sum of money to be more than a good player.
The media is taking the wrong approach. It is solely looking at cause-and-effect to drive its narrative. The Bills' run defense got worse when they traded Dareus and Jacksonville's got better. Cause-and-effect says trading Dareus was the wrong decision. What they fail to look at is what we were getting for the money we were paying him. While our poor run defense might be a cause of Dareus's trade, do we really want to pay someone $100 million to be in on less than 50 percent of snaps? Is that good economics. Like I said, if he goes on to be a HOF, it was still the right move for both us and him. He would never have done that while here based off of passing performance the last couple of years. I feel like he never wanted to be here, but we made him an offer he couldn't refuse, which is why he phoned it in once he got the contract.

Is that what Beane and McDermott are doing isn't a new concept. Hell Carolina did it recently. While Gettleman may not have traded away high-priced talent, he didn't resign old veterans. Getting rid of Steve Smith Sr. was a very unpopular decision in Carolina, but Gettleman knew what he was doing.
Now, it was a little easier for him because he didn't have to go out and find a franchise QB, because he already had one. But, I don't think you can really disagree with whatever moves Beane has made. Trading Watkins was unpopular, but if that second-round pick nets us a good player, no one is going to gripe. It is hard to look to the future because that is what we have been doing for so long, but we just gotta keep the faith.
I know trading Dareus doesn't look like a smart decision, especially to the media. If Dareus ends up a HOF with Jacksonville, it was still the right call. The guy wasn't giving effort here and for the amount we were paying him, he needed to go.
I know, I know, we are sick of "Trust the Process." But, that is all we can really do.
Firing Beane and McDermott would do more harm at this point, than good. You think we would get the cream of the crop GM or Coach. Who would want to come here if they knew they could be fired if things don't look good 10 weeks into their stay here in Buffalo.
"Trust the Process" it is all we have for the next couple of years. One thing is for sure though, this is going to be an interesting couple of years.

Cheap backup QB, especially when you think your team is going to be trash.

I'm not saying the Bills shouldnt take a QB in the draft as high as possible. They should. I'm just saying it might not be enough to be much better than they are right now initially...maybe similar to the Sabres with Eichel...
Look at some teams who have their franchise QB and how they are faring...
Baltimore and Dallas are 5-5 with the Cowboys getting blown out the last two games. Atlanta isn't that great this year at 5-4 despite tons of talent. San Diego is 4-6 regardless of how awesome they looked yesterday against us. Oakland is 4-6 and looks lost. Washington is 4-6 with Cousins putting up huge numbers week in and week out. Brees has been putting up huge numbers for years and is a first ballot HOF lock but had gone several seasons of being .500 or worse before this season. Tampa Bay has been struggling badly even with Winston and is 4-6...Colts have been mediocre to bad even with Luck in the lineup the last couple season's...Panthers were bad last year with Newton...Bengals are 4-6 with Dalton...Ravens are 5-5 with Flacco and while probably will get the wildcard due to their soft remaining schedule are certainly nobody's idea of a good team.
Its in large part about the QB in the NFL but its not ALL about the QB. There are a lot of instances of teams having good QBs and still not being very good record wise...
People think drafting a first round QB is going to solve everything but it isn't. Even if he is really good it likely won't as you can see above...
You get the QB and then you place talent around him. You also do whatever you can to get that talent around him.
Green Bay is a shining example of how you don't build a team around a QB. Ted Thompson is an awful GM because he really only builds his roster through the draft, he refuses to really sign free agents or make a big free agent signing splash. Hoem grown talent is great, but that needs to be complemented with good free agent signings, which Green Bay hasn't done.

Watching people do mental gymnastics to defend the great white hope is almost as bad as watching this game. As much as you may hate Tyrod he deserves to be in this game right now.
If you disagree ask yourself what you would be saying if Tyrod had 3 picks in the first quarter 1 going for 6.
He wouldn't have three picks. He'd have more than three sacks and it''d be 10-0. At least with Peterman, we have the threat of a passing game.
-
Maybe they are worried Peterman will win them some games and ruin the draft position.

9 games in. That's plenty of time to judge a new regime.
Clean house now while we still have a chance.
No, it isn't. It would be stupid to dump and run. You have to give these two guys a chance to build a team. Let's give them two drafts to see what hey can build. We overachieved early in the season.

Look at that, two step drop out of shotgun and then released and threw. Guy wasn't wide open, but threw it only where our guy could get it.

Peterman warming up.
He'll come in and hand the ball off to Tolbert. Won't throw a single pass, you watch.
-
Why do we have a coach that is unwilling to put our backup QB in.
I know people will be calling for Peterman to start if he scores two TDs in garbage time, but ****, let the kid get some game experience. It's clear Tyrod isn't the answer moving forward. He isn't willing to take chance, especially when we need too, to come back.

He did change the "meet & greet" from Friday evening to Saturday afternoon.
Apparently there will be some kind of caravan meet-up on Sunday morning so that we can all drive to the lot together and get a community space going. If their website is to be believed, the lots may open at 7AM for a noon game (local time).
A meet up at Als to caravan over?

So I heard an interesting take from Bill Polian about the Bye week. He basically said that he was part of a committee that approved it in 1990. He said the bye week had zero to do with player injuries and they still really have no information that having a week off helps players.
He said the bye week was put in place to make the NFL tv contract worth more money because in essence your adding another week of programing.
If you add another one or two weeks your giving fans a longer season and more weeks of football. I think that would contribute to more oversaturating the product.
Not if you took away Thursday night games in the process. It would make Monday night more meaningful.

The casual fan is temperamental and can easily be swayed for a myriad of different reasons. The NFL struck while the iron was hot which was smart. We'll see if they were smart enough to project the inevitable decline and push hard to satisfy/identify the base.
Right, it is pure economics. The NFL was only going to get so popular, and then start to decline at that point. The game isn't dying, just some people are losing interest.

So Tyrod has escapbility. Why is everyone so fascinated with this? It has not led to w’s consistently. It seems to me that many want to believe he is the QB of the future because of all of these meaningless statistics. At the end of the day the real question is does the guy win? The answer so far has been: about half of the time.
Actually, the answer is actually a little more than half the time.

Friday night party
November 24th 5-9pm
Al's Bar and Grill
10911 MO-45
Parkville, MO 64152
Sunday
Bill's Tailgate KC BBQ Style
at Arrowhead Stadium
I thought Al's party was going to be on Saturday night.
Or at least they will be doing the same thing on Saturday night, according to a message I received back from them through Facebook.
I will also be attending the game. Just need to book our hotel, I got tickets the day they went on sale in KC.
Hopefully, there will be a couple good tailgate parties to hit. Let us know what everyone is doing.

it looked like something was completely so out of sync, which hasn't been the case at all this year. the entire team was just a let down. i'm giving the staff the benefit of the doubt on this one, but sunday should be interesting.
You know, a couple things go our way against the Jets and we come away with the victory. Leonard's dropped interception could have really turned the tide early. Matthews fumbling before halftime kept us from going in tied at 10. O'Leary's fumble kept us from tying the game at 17 or at least attempting to. We were driving at that point. those things don't go wrong and we have a different ball game with a potentially different result.

Sign Kirk Cousins, use first two draft picks on offensive line, and won’t he Super Bowl. Just saying.
