Chaos

For better or worse PFF is the only place that publically grades every player at every position. Going into this week these are the grades for the Top Offenses and the Top QBs: Josh Allen as the #1 QB in the NFL. The Bills offense is Graded 14th. Lets look at the gaps for the other top teams in the NFL. Mahomes #2, Chiefs Offense #2. Jalen Hurts #3, Eagles Offense #1. Joe Burrow #4, Bengals Offense #4. Tua #5 Dophins Offense #5.

You comment is an accurate recitation of the facts. PFF (which I realize we are required to hate) grades Josh Allen as the #1 QB in the NFL. The Bills offense is Graded 14th. Lets look at the gaps for the other top teams in the NFL. Mahomes #2, Chiefs Offense #2. Jalen Hurts #3, Eagles Offense #1. Joe Burrow #4, Bengals Offense #4. Tua #5 Dophins Offense #5. Kirk Cousins is the Anti-Josh. Cousin's is ranked 13th, while the Vikings offense is ranked 6th.

Even though Josh is Superman, he lives by the Spiderman ethos: "With great power comes great responsibility". This guy is arguably the best role model of anyone in the NFL.

Can Beasley beef up and play center?

Clearly Singletary does not trust the defense as much as he does the Offense and Bass.

Its a results oriented business. Making it to the championship game is ALWAYS greater success than not making it to the championship game. No matter how you twist is up in your head, the results are the results.

Ok. That is one of the reasons the team took a step back. But 2021 was less successful than 2020. Simple indisputable fact. Not sure why this troubles people to accept.

Dorsey and Frazier are the antidotes. But the reality is the Bengals are the defending AFC champions and have beaten the chiefs 3 times in a row. They are a tough out.

If and buts. Bills were more successful in 2020 than 2021. Simple indisputable face.

Last year we went on to take a step back by losing in the divisional round of the playoffs. Last year kind of sucked.

So really only a couple of years wther the defenses made a significant difference. Mostly its the QB's and offense.

I used to be an anti-dome guy. But its become clear its a better product in person and on TV when the weather is not a factor in the game. Now that the Bills are a top tier team, the randomness introduced by the weather works against them. It really does.

Did Beasley steal the playbook pages with the slants and crossing routes? Will he be bringing them back?

43 years ago if you denounced a Jewish persons Old Testament religous beliefs, you would have been considered a bigot. Now people accuse of Jewish person with those exact same religous beliefs of being a bigot. Words that are so fluid become less meaningful.

Good list. Only problem is with F, is that there is not anything close to universal agreement on what compromises bigotry. So we all agree its bad, we just don't tend to agree on what it is.

Not really any evidence of that in recent years in terms of wins and losses. Offense wins regular season games. Offense wins Championships. Offense wins Super Bowls. Thats the rule. There are a small handful of exceptions in this century to prove the rule.

Two years ago we played in the AFC championship game. Last year we took a step back and lost in the divisional round. Not clear to me that is "amazing". I found it more "disappointing".

The QBs are the only thing that matter. When Allens, Mahomes or Burrow go off, the teams win. When they don't go off all three teams are .500 ball clubs. In 2022 Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes each have 6 games with Passer ratings above 100. Joe Burrows has 7 games above 100. The combined record for these 19 games is 19 wins zero losses. The combined record for the 20 combined games with passer ratings below 100: 10 wins 10 losses. It would seem the strategy is to figure out what it takes to help the QBs get above a 100 passer rating. To my eyes the Chiefs and Bengals think the key is making the online and skill positions as strong as they can. And the Bills strategy is to pray that Josh Allen is superman each Sunday. And the Bills strategy may yet work.

Why are we supposed to ignore rushing yards and tds?

-1- Bills have success Dolphins cannot compete Buffalo reigns supreme -2- Buffalo roars strong Miami's hopes dashed, nevermore Victory for Bills -3- The Buffalo Bills Defeat the Miami Dolphins On a glorious day

In 2022 Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes each have 6 games with Passer ratings above 100. Joe Burrows has 7 games above 100. The combined record for these 19 games is 19 wins zero losses. The combined record for the 20 combined games with passer ratings below 100: 10 wins 10 losses. Basically when the QBs don't go off, all of these teams turn into .500 ball clubs. No point in stressing over the defense anymore. 🙂

I suppose targets minus catches minus drops means uncatchable

Is there a stat different from targets that reflects "catchable targets?"

Another issue, is the the sting of 13 seconds last year, makes Bills fans more than any other sports fans realize, it always possible for the team to steal defeat from the jaws of Victory. Makes it painful to watch all of these close games.
