It is deeply amusing watching certain posters use any and all statistics as a reason to bash elements of the Bills' offense. The Bills are currently #3 in points scored per game. The Ravens slowed the Bills offense by continuously confusing the protection calls and getting free runners through the LOS like every other play.

No. Refs almost always adjust the spot but Hollins appeared to have genuinely spotted the ball correctly, so no need.

Wait is @FireChans really doing this after a dominant game by Keon Coleman in which the Bills won by 21 points?

You were saying?

We are getting absolutely abused on screens, this is brutal.

Yeah. Playcall was fine, need to execute. Bad execution tanks most plays.

Play call on 2nd down was fine, OL let a DT through almost unimpeded. Likely first down otherwise.

... Yet he's playing great and we're blowing out teams via overwhelming offensive efficiency. What's up with that?

I... don't think you understand that saying? Bad Thing happened. Team has to deal with Bad Thing. Wow, team is doing great despite Bad Thing! That's even more impressive! At no point has the view on Bad Thing changed in that sequence.

I think many posters are kinda fed up with the constant "McDermott is too conservative!" and adjacent/derivative claims when the data show the opposite.

Great question. If only there were data and statistics we could point to that compare the Bills' offensive output and efficiency to the league at large.

You should. This is a pretty big tell-on-yourself moment. Shanahan is a hardass about blocking because of both the physicality element and the way it opens up YAC/scoring opportunities downfield. And defenders do NOT like guarding a big body when every other play said receiver is seeking out and maintaining contact til the whistle.

Death, taxes, and Mike Tomlin churning out wins despite an underwhelming roster

It's been incredible, honestly. Two teams just beating the snot out of each other as a matter of principle. Currently feeling nostalgic for an era of football I was literally not alive for.

Man, I really like our backs right now but I will always miss Fred Jackson. Watching him pick up yards after contact in both the run and receiving games was incredible.
