The dude isn't even on the active roster what are you talking about.

So 2020 was a great offensive season by the Bills. Wonderful, exciting, electric, whatever you want to call it. We can all agree the 2021 offense has its moments where it feels like a continuation of 2020 and moments where it feels like we are back in 2019. But what do the numbers say? 1. We are actually better at running the ball this year. Last year, the Bills were 17th in attempts, 20th in yards, 15th in TD's and 20th in YPA. This year, we are 17th in attempts, 11th in yards, 9th in TD's and 9th in YPA. Some of this may be explained by Josh running a bit more (he's averaging 34 YPG compared to 28 last season, but on a similar number of attempts per game 6.4 to 6.3), but the fact remains, we are better at running. 2. We are worse through the air this year. Last year, 11th in attempts, 3rd in TD's, 3rd in yards, 9th in INT's and 4th in NY/A This year, 8th in attempts, 3rd in TD's, 7th in yards, 24th in INT's, and 10th in NY/A. A lot of this is Josh, statistically. He is across the board less efficient and more TO prone compared to last season. Still playing great, still one of the best young QB's in the NFL, but not 2020 Josh. 3. On the whole, we are not much different than last year. I have long held the belief that the best statistic to judge a unit to their peers is their "per drive" stats. Not as prone to confabulation due to the defense creating opportunities for the offense etc. Last year, Bills offense 2nd in score percentage, 15th in TO percentage, 5th in time of possession, 10th in plays per drive (an admittedly stat missing in utility due to scoring fast not being particularly bad), 4th in yards per drive, and 3rd in points per drive. This year, Bills offense 2nd in score percentage, 12th in TO percentage, 14th in time of possession, 10th in plays per drive (an admittedly stat missing in utility due to scoring fast not being particularly bad), 4th in yards per drive, and 2nd in points per drive. Outside of the huge difference in time per drive (which may be related to sheer number of possessions due to a great defense), we are still a very similar offense per drive. We score often, we are efficient, we get a lot of yards and we get a lot of points. Our TO% is actually better despite our INT number climbing, likely due to less fumbling overall. Conclusions? Josh is just not as sharp as he was last year, but overall he is still playing great football and leading a great offense, an offense that by the numbers is just as good as the one last year. The variance we are seeing from Josh is not really uncommon, even among the historically great. Last year, Aaron Rodgers threw for 48 TDs. This year, through 11 games, he has thrown for only 23, which will likely place him in the mid 30's as a season total trendwise. His passer rating is a full 17 points less this year compared to last year. The great QB's have good years, and great years, and insane years. We aren't in an insane year for Josh. We are in a great year. And our offense continues to remain great.

Around the NFL This Sunday 11/28 (Bills mini-bye)
FireChans replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Honestly, I was surprised at how well the second and third round pick in the 2022 NFL draft played today for the Broncos. Herbert could never get comfortable with those two rushing the passer. -

https://www.buffalobills.com/video/matt-breida-rushes-for-a-15-yard-touchdown-bills-at-jets Come on man! Look at this play! Think about how many 15 yard TD runs that the cinderblock feet duo have had, they easily score here too, despite defensive tackles outpacing them when they run outside.
-
Devin Singletary is currently 146th in the NFL in yards per catch. How is that for sample size? Anyone can see Breida is a way better pass catcher.
-
And here you are still posting nothing lol
-
Sick counterpoint. Did you do your homework for your first day back to middle school tomorrow?
-
Counterpoint: Breida averages 6.5 yards per touch. Moss averages 4.6, Singletary 4.7. Breida averages a TD every 9 touches. Devin averages a TD every 62 touches, Moss every 18 touches. To say that our two molasses boys “probably get through that hole too” when we have watched them get caught from behind for 2 years straight is laugh out loud funny. Breida is our best weapon out of the backfield. He doesn’t even know the playbook and he’s running circles around the other two goobers.

How does this make him Duke Williams?

https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/W/WillDu01.htm https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BreiMa00.htm Your comparison sucked and you continue to embarrass yourself.

Duke Williams could not prove he was an NFL caliber player. Bad comparison.
-
Horrific comparison.

The Ford Report - Week 12, Bills v. Saints, 11/25/21
FireChans replied to Freddie's Dead's topic in The Stadium Wall
Please watch him play more than 2 games his whole career. -
Drinking starts early in Hemet
-
He is averaging over 5 YPC and 11 yard per catch. He has more TD’s than Singletary and 2 TD’s less than Moss playing 3 games.
-
I didn’t say perfect, I said The best.
-
Breida is the best I think.
-
That was after we were trying to run out the clock. He was 4 for 19 on the first drive alone. and he was 14.5 yards per catch. Devin simply cannot get YAC. There’s a reason you don’t just judge a player by the box score. Singletary cannot execute outside runs because he has no burst. He can’t beat LBers to the edge.
-
Honestly, why has it taken this dude 10 weeks to get on the field? He’s an absolute weapon and a solid piece in passing and running. I saw several plays that Singletary got 4 on that Breida could have gotten 12 because of the difference in speed. Not to say Singletary had a bad game, he’s just limited. Its time for 24 carries a game between the two of them for the rest of the year.
