You’re right. Peterman has actually had better games passing than Josh did yesterday. Unfortunately, it sounds like you don’t like the stat because it makes Josh Allen look bad. There’s nothing we can do about that. Passer rating doesn’t care if you had reciever drops (Josh isn’t the only one who gets hurt by drops in the NFL). Passer rating doesn’t care if your QB is under duress (Josh isn’t the only one who gets pressured). All passer rating cares about is your statistical output and it spits out a number. Josh’s was terrible and thus his passer rating is terrible. End of story.

But he still had a really bad day passing. And because passer rating doesn't include rushing production, it indicates that Allen had a really really bad passing day. And he did have a Nate Peterman day passing. 11/26 for 120 and 3 INT's is a really bad day dude.

Last topic about Milano's play was September 23rd. Maybe try complaining about the dome topics instead.

I'm sorry. but if you're arguing that Josh Allen's last two weeks have been as impressive as Joe Burrow's, you're just incorrect. Joe Burrow 8 TD's, 0 INT's, ~900 yards passing Josh Allen 5 TD's, 3 INT's, ~434 yards passing lol

What stat isn't worthy of being ignored for a single game? Completion percentage? Yards? INT's? All of those things were bad for Josh last week. His passer rating would indicate he had a pretty bad day passing the ball. Would you disagree he had a bad day?

Yes. MVP a lot of times is about storyline. And recency bias. Aaron Rodgers has been the shoe-in for 8 weeks, no one is talking about them getting their doors blown off by the Saints early in the year, but Brady getting shut out recently hurt him. Recency bias exists. Joe Burrow has won the division for the Bungles for the first time in how long? He's a young marketable star, and has been dropping insane numbers to close out the year. That mattes too. I personally think if Josh got hot and blew out the Falcons and Jets, after the huge Pats win, he had a shot to be #2 in voting. That's how it goes.

No stats are perfect. Everyone should know that.

No, Allen just threw 3 picks against the Atlanta Falcons. Joe Burrow just threw for 400 yards and 4 TD's against the #1 seed in the AFC.

Lol passer rating is a terrible stat but it is quite literally the best stat for evaluating QB’s.

Huh? What?

Joe Burrow is peaking late. Josh Allen is not. If Burrow goes off again on the Browns next week he could win it IMO.

I think he means the old man.

I dare you to show me 5.

Let me start by saying that Edmunds is fine. He's a good player. But Milano is an animal. Sometimes he overpursues and gets washed out of run plays. He isn't perfect. However, Matty has FOURTEEN TFL's this season. One Four. 14! That's huge. He is a beast. To put it in perspective: 14 TFL's is good for 7th in the NFL among all positions. But more importantly, he is #1 in TFL's for defenders that line up without their hand in the dirt. Here are the players above him: Nick Bosa, Parsons, TJ Watt, Quinn, Donald, Garrett. So besides Quinn, those are all perennial DPOY candidates. Put it another way, in 52 starts Milano has 44 TFL's. Edmunds in 59 starts has 29. Even more stark, Edmunds has a total of 10 TFL's in the last two seasons combined. Milano is the straw that stirs the drink in this front 7. I think you could argue he is the consistent best in the unit.

If you were trying to make a ridiculous strawman, then yes.

My dog, the post I responded to said one of the best in the league. He’s not.

Dawson Knox is not one of the best tight ends in football. Devin Singletary and Harrison Phillips have had a good one month, the last month. Dane Jackson is good enough to make the roster, so that's a win. Other than that, sure.

Transplant and loving a Bills QB to the point of insanity is a TBD tradition, like T Master's stream of consciousness posting, ScottLaw's need to be negative, BADOL dunking on Shady and Edmunds, and GunnerBill hating prototypical QB draft prospects lol.

We easily beat them. We are classes above the Falcons. That’s good.

Don’t be mean to transplant, he just loves Bills QB’s. He used to talk about how quietly spectacular Tyrod was going 17-26 for 150 yards in a loss.

I hated Tee Higgins when he was mocked to us that year (by you and everyone else.) Thought he was a James Hardy clone that would struggle to separate at the NFL level. whoops

Burrow may be top 3 in voting by recency bias alone. -wins division storyline -900 yards and 9 TD’s in last two games -beats division rival and #1 seed in back to back weeks. I wouldn’t bet on Burrow but there’s no way his odds don’t skyrocket

Now you can look at the play-by-play and the box score and say, well that wasn’t a great win. I was sitting there watching us have 3 TO’s in the first half, giving up a safety, and being down 1 point at half and saying, “we are easily winning this game.” Second half comes in, Josh throws a pick. Woof. Still wasn’t worried. And quite honestly, we shouldn’t have been. The Falcons are a bad team. They were bad today, they have been bad all year. The Bills made a ton of game changing errors and we still won, in my opinion, easily. Josh didn’t play great and we still won easily. Obviously, this team is great when our offense is clicking. But to still thoroughly beat an NFL opponent after 4 TO’s and our offense not playing perfect is kinda awesome. Great teams overcome. This will be much harder vs playoff opponents, but for today, one team made a ton of mistakes and still won easy. And that means we’re really ***** good.

It’s not just a stats argument so that makes sense.

Nfl.com doesn’t believe the Bills exist!
