It's not a matter of still supporting the decision. It's a matter of not CARING about the decision any more. Move on.

The other one refrenced was a 9 yard out route by Lee Evans on a 3rd and 10 early on in the game.

On the two instances you cited from today's game, the receiver came up a yard short on their route. You can't blame him for throwing "a four yard completion on 3 and 10" in those cases.

You lose any credibility you had with this statement. Failure to address either line is the root cause of almost every one of our problems.

I am generally frustrated with Jauron's use of the replay as well, but I don't think you can fault him at all on this one. That replay looked like an interception to me, and if that play is overturned, it takes 3 points directly off the board and this game goes to overtime.

So the Lions were playing prevent defense up by 10 with 9 minutes to go in the game? That would mean the Lions defensive coordinator is dumber than you, and that's just not possible.

Fair enough.

There was no facemask on that play. Watch it again.

Nice math, genius.

Where did I say the Bills were better than the Redskins? Show me please.

I've got to believe that a big part of why are corners have looked SOOOO bad this year is due to scheme. There are guys who's day job it is to drive UPS trucks that haven't been abused as bad as our guys. Both McGee and Clements have shown they have talent in the past, but this year they look horrible. Of course, you can't blame the scheme for Clements tackling prowess....

The NFL's biggest phonies are the Washington Redskins, and they lost to a winless team as well.

With a slight assist from Andre Davis. Damn that play hurt. He looked like me trying to catch a bomb.

I found a positive. We weren't the only ones to lose to a winless team today. The ESPN darlings the Bengals just got it by the Bucs.

The surgery explains the incredibly bad decision making? I didn't realize it was brain surgery he had.

So you're saying Losman was better than his rating today?

I won't question your conclusion ( ) but your method is a little flawed. The odds of picking the Bills record, in order, at random, is 1/65536. That would be (1/2)^16...

You are being incredibly ticky tacky here. Are you really trying to draw a distinction between "turning some heads" and "making a statement." Why do you get define what is and isn't a statement? Why are you even arguing this? The point the author of this thread was trying to make is that beating the Bears this weekend, in their own house, after the way they beat the Seahawks, would draw some attention and change the way the Bills are viewed. That is a correct statement. You're argument is pure semantics and irrelevant. Stop being so nitpicky.

That's part of it I'm sure, but it's not like he's ever had a huge turnover game. His max in a game ever is 3. That's not exceptionally high at all.

That is also possible. Either way, I am comfortable saying that Roethlisberger's 34.3 passer rating IS indicative of his play this year. All in all, I think QB rating is not a bad tool. It certainly isn't the worst of the generally accepted statistics. I do not know the formula off-hand, but I do know that it at least tries to account for a wide range of parameters to give a balanced view of performance. However, not knowing the formula, I cannot say if it takes down/distance/situation/etc into account. That information is CONTEXT and it is CRITICAL to any statistic being worthwhile.

I wouldn't rather have had Ben in his lousy two games that earned him that god awful rating. Are you trying to argue that he played better than his QB rating this season indicates or that he IS better than his QB rating indicates? Your problem is that QB rating is a summary statistic, not a predictive statistic. Big Ben is probably better than his 34 QB Rating, but his play the last two games certainly isn't. That 34.3 rating only applies to the last two games, in which he has been awful.

The name of the song is not "Time of Your Life." It's "Good Riddance." I hope you all appreciate that irony. You're welcome.

That's not evidence, moron. Give me some specific plays, or gee, even some data. I see that the Bills gave up 3 sacks today, which shockingly, is exactly their average per game this year. I see the Willis McGahee gaining more yards in the second half than the first. I see Duke Preston getting a key block on the P. Price TD Screen play.

Come back when you have some supporting evidence.

The swelling comes later. Just you wait.
