Royale with Cheese

Oh that would make my Sunday even better.

I think the throw was very good, especially in the rain but I think was makes it more special was the guts....the killer instinct.

You mean 17th birthday....old man.

Even the best teams will have weeks where they are just off. KC looked unbeatable against the Bucs but looked flat against the Colts.

Because you’ve stated over and over and over and over again that our offense is good for ONLY ONE reason.

Yep. If its only because of Allen then he’s the greatest player in the history of the NFL and there’s not anyone even a close second. Our roster top to bottom is top 3 in the NFL.

Oh no...I hope they can work it out. I can refer them my marriage counselor who definitely helped my me and my ex push faster for the divorce.

How can I get her my contact information?

I think if I got a hot 50 year old to join us, I would get the 18-24 audience to listen.

I don't think anyone would be interested in me arguing about older women being attractive or not to a Biology Grad. Who's the audience?

Okay lol. Well I have a teenaged neighbor and a bunch of my friends have teenaged boys....they would tell you differently. My friends son is a teen and his teacher is a girl I went to HS with who is in her early 40's. She's the hottest teacher in school according to him.

Boys like a woman who knows what she wants and has experience. They like a woman to make them a man. I remember my first older woman, I was nervous as hell! I was 24 and she was 46. She was married to a doctor who didn't give her any time and she went out boy hunting...she got me for a night.

I am willing to say that nearly 100% of straight teenaged boys would want Jennifer Aniston, Halle Berry, Salma Hayek and Liz Hurley right now and they're all over 50.

Attraction is attraction. Every dream of a teenaged boy is to sleep with an older woman like a teacher or a friend's hot mom. I've always had a thing for older women and so did many of my friends.

I am 40 and I prefer older women who don't want anymore kids. Eggs don't mean a thing to me since I was 33 years old.

Halle Berry, Salma Hayek and Liz Hurley, I would put up there with the most attractive 30 year olds. Older women are dating younger men a lot now a days.

Halle Berry too. She's 56. Did you know the entire cast of Friends is now the same age as the Golden Girls when they started filming?

Turning 56 in a month.

Okay. The weather last year was a lot cooler. It was in the low 80's by the end of the 1st and in the high 70's at half time. Look at the line graph. It gives you the temp per hour. The elements were not the same. https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/us/fl/miami/KMIA/date/2022-9-25 https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/us/fl/miami/KMIA/date/2021-9-19

I did have a little upset stomach. I ate very late Saturday night.

Oh...1972 is getting snippy now. We were in a major slump for that 7 game skid. No one has been debating that. Now if we go on a streak, the % will change. There is context to everything. We are up by one score late in the game and get a game sealing TD to put us up two scores or that late FG puts us up by 2 scores. That counts as a tight game at the end, we just pulled ahead. Those are not backdoor covers if you pull ahead late in the game. https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2022/9/29/23377661/buffalo-bills-one-score-game-loss-streak In Week 3, the Buffalo Bills fell to the Miami Dolphins in the sweltering heat of South Florida. The loss dropped the Bills to 0-7 in their last seven games decided by one score. The narratives have started to swirl on this topic now that it’s reared its ugly head in 2022—this after it was caught lurking in the background during the 2021 season. Does Buffalo lack the ability to finish? Do they lack poise or composure late in games? Is head coach Sean McDermott not a “big game” coach? No matter how you want to frame the narrative, it’s shown up in one form or another in the immediate aftermath of the loss to their Dolphin-themed division rivals. But I think the narrative’s lacking context. The easiest and most common rebuttal is that the Bills were spectacular in one-score games in 2020, going 5-1 with their only loss coming against the Arizona Cardinals on the spectacularly named “Hail Murray” throw to wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins. The head coach in 2020 was the same. The defensive coordinator was the same. The quarterback was the same. The offensive coordinator is now different, but if you were trying to isolate that as the variable, it would only apply to the most recent loss to Miami and not to any of the losses in 2021 (when Buffalo was 0-6 in one-score games). Did all of these people involved magically lose their “clutch gene” in the two years that have passed since the COVID-19-affected 2020 season? It feels unlikely, but let’s go further. In the last three years (since quarterback Josh Allen transcended to MVP-level play and the Bills became a meaningful Super Bowl contender), the team is 9-14 in one-score games overall. It may seem even with a larger sample size that Buffalo is failing to capitalize in the clutch. When prognosticators look for regression candidates among good NFL teams from one year to the next, one key point of emphasis is that a high winning percentage in one-score games isn’t a sustainable metric. In this article from Pickswise, they estimate that one-score games are essentially a coin flip—that teams could expect regression to the mean whether they are exceptionally good or exceptionally bad in winning percentage in those situations in any given season. There is an element of randomness to close games that we as fans frequently aren’t comfortable discussing because it would mean there wasn’t always a solution to a problem. Random ball bounces, penalties called or uncalled in strategically valuable situations, the directional doink of a field goal, and other random factors affect one-score games in a meaningful way every single week in the NFL. So how does a team go about trying to remove this randomness from the game? They blow teams out. Don’t let the randomness affect the win-loss column. The Bills have been doing an exceptional job of that for some time now. On average, between 50-60% of NFL games are decided by one score or less in any given season. In 2020, Buffalo ranked fifth in the NFL with an average scoring differential of +6.8—just within the “one-score” boundary. In 2021, that number grew to +11.5. In 2022 thus far, that number has ballooned even further to +17.7. In 2020, 37.5% of Buffalo Bills games were decided by one score. In 2021, it was 29.4%. Acknowledging the randomness associated with one-score games and not falling into the “any given Sunday” trap is a better solution that playing with fire week over week and hoping your “clutch gene” carries you through time and time again. “But Bruce, the Bills will play better teams in the playoffs and they’ll need to win close games.” The average margin of victory in NFL playoff games over a ten-year period studied by Stats on Tapp indicated that postseason games, as a whole, didn’t have a markedly different margin of average victory than a typical NFL regular season. So we know that, over a large enough sample size, the 9-14 record the Bills boast with a good QB and a good coach in one-score games isn’t egregious enough to make a narrative out of compared to the rest of the NFL. We know that victory in one-score games carries much more randomness than we would care to admit. And we know that avoiding one-score games as much as Buffalo has been doing for the last three years is the BEST path to victory. I’m not willing to go searching for a solution to a problem that I’m not sure actually yet exists.

I think we will be fine just rushing 4.

I stopped sitting.

At the beginning of the 4th quarter against the Raiders we were up by 7. That means the game was close and we pulled away. With 10 minutes left in the 4th quarter against the Dolphins, we were behind by 3. We came back and pulled ahead with 2 straight TD drives. Now you're discounting that. Those are close games that we pulled away. Now you're manipulating it to where we have to win in the last second for it to matter. Keep moving the goalposts. You quit evading the question. Does a career record or single season say more about a coach?
