  1. All those blitzes multiple looks and no one open?
  2. This makes sense, the yards, first downs and ToP are there. Stop with the turnovers and the points will go up..easier said than done though with the QB since if he gets conservative, the yards, first downs and ToP may also go down. You need to continue that while reducing the turnovers.
  3. The alternative is the Bills lose that game and the Pats are the 2nd team to go to 4 straight......but they have won two of them.....so basically the Bills have to win that game
  4. The great player apparently no one wants to keep
  5. 10 of the top 16 are in the NFC which lines up with what we know about how the AFC has performed this year.
  6. I am sure I am in the minority but I'll throw this out there anyway. I get why people are upset but I also think people forget how bad it used to be before replay. I think what has changed more than anything are more rules and a million times more scrutiny with frame by frame analysis, social media gifs, 24/7 NFL networks, non stop analysis of the bad calls....that is what is more different than the actual performance of the refs which has always been and always will be inconsistent and subjective. To some extent you get some calls you lose others, that has and always will be part of the NFL, NHL and every other sport. The refs cant see everything in real time, I think most people can understand that,so use technology to get it right if you can.Before replay, there were obvious called scoring plays that today would be reversed, obvious called turnovers that today would be reversed, obvious called catches that today would be reversed, etc. My point is there are aspects of review they are doing well. Now this stupid idea to carve out pass interference as reviewable for called AND NON-called penalties is just terrible to watch it play out. I really think the refs are just doing "silent protest" of sorts and not reversing any of these. Not sure why they are doing it when some of these are so obvious other than reviewing non called penalties opens up a pandora's box I don't think we really want to open. Today its PI, tomorrow its holding, hands to the face, helmet to helmet contact and other things that might happen on every play but lets just wait for a big play by the opponent and then find a reason to reverse it. Personally, I would like to see reviews for called penalties to get rid of obvious calls they got wrong but to go to replay to throw a flag is a terrible idea in my opinion.
  7. From an article online....3 fumbles in 6 games...that is bad. "McCloud returned 10 punts for 82 yards (39 yards was his longest effort), but he fumbled the ball three times. His fumbled punt against Tampa Bay this past Sunday set up a Bucs touchdown. The second-year wide receiver from Clemson fumbled twice against Tampa Bay in the Week 2 matchup. "He's an explosive, dynamic player, we know that," head coach Ron Rivera said. "But putting the ball on the ground is a little risky. We have to take care of the football better."
  8. We already had a tutor Taylor
  9. Its a long season, teams that start out like trash you sometimes dont want to play down the stretch, that will happen with at least 1 or 2 teams in the AFC. The Ravens, Colts and Texans are solid teams. A team like SD could turn in it around. I would not get too excited about 4-1 being ahead of 4-2 so the 4-1 team is obviously better......let this thing play out. it is advantageous for the Bills though, the schedule is not bad BUT they are likely going for 1 of 2 WC positions.
  10. Montana and elway never ever had bad games. They ask never lost any games
  11. I wonder if the other nfl teams do not realize Riley is available? I read here about how 5 or 6 teams would immediately take him if the bills cut him.
  12. Beating these guys in the regular season is not really revenge....this is like someone murduers your family member so you call them a name as "revenge"
  13. Once his "bonehead play %" comes down we will be good.
  14. Is PFF adjusted completion percentage the same as catchable pass percentage?
  15. Honestly....It was super close and the video is inconclusive....... as a fan it was a forward lateral all ***** day and twice on Sunday
  16. Pro Bowl has nothing to do with All Pro. Pro bowl is a joke
  17. The way I see it is lets wait and see if any of these guys actually become something before caring about Allen is better than Mayfield! 5 years from now this could be like comparing two guys who busted out and no one will care. They both are mixed bags at this point but Mayfield has had more success based on his rookie year. It is just too early.
  18. They had scored a TD on a drive, then next drive had a TD called back (leaading to a different missed FG) and were again in FG range on the third consecutive drive, the offense was playing better. What were they gonna do, kick 3 straight FG's with 8 minutes left to win? There is not a good explanation other than it was a dumb decision. Hitting that FG gives him the opportunity to win with a TD drive like you said. But they still need a TD to win or tie, and it was a manageable 4th down, with 3 or 4 yards to go. 4th and 15 might be a different story, they should have been in TD mode only after the kicker missed 3.
  19. Part of the strategy is one year deals with this regime. It is somewhat uncomfortable but you end up with hungry players. Of that list, you consider extending one or two probably. Others you can do another one year deal with, others you let go and bring fresh meat in to replace. It will be ok.
  20. Just to point out some things they are doing well. 1. Run blocking, night and day from last year. 2. Run-pass ratio is much more like an NFL offense....pass first or run first depending on matchup, love it! 3. Mis direction plays that work. 4. Completion % up a lot from last year 5. Pass protection is iffy...sometimes it is good other times it breaks down too quick but it is improved from last year. Some of the sacks are Allen holding the ball too long. 6. WR production is up a lot too. I know there is a lot of calls to add more and more talent is always better but we have decent WR at this point
  21. Cool graphic.......but this is just numbers over time. One thing going against the Bills is that they are likely playing for one of 2 wildcard spots since the (I think consensus) best team in the league is also in their division. Win the next three, all at home and they are almost there!
  22. Win your division, get a home playoff game....once in a while it works out so bad team is home...Seahawks (7-9) hosted the Saints (10-6)...Seahawks won. So win the damn division or the only other way to get a home game is if you are #5 and you and #6 make the championship game.
