Bermuda Triangle

Looking stellar so far today.

Any reason why we don’t kickoff into the end zone?

Big win today against Pitt. Copeland and Benny Williams came up big. @ Duke on Tuesday night!

lol, you can have the rushing yards. 2022 receiving for McKenzie/Shakir/Crowder, 98 targets for 644 yards, in 16 games in addition to rushing yards on end arounds 2023 receiving for Shakir/Harty/Sherfield, 70 targets for 667 yards, in 15 games. so...congrats?

423 (McKenzie) + 161 (Shakir) + 60 (Crowder) = 644

Yeah, that's not accurate. For context, the 2023 Bills have thrown the ball less, and have run the ball more, than the 2022 Bills. And 2023 stats are through 15 games, while 2022 stats are for 16 games.

So if you know the stats, then you know that the production of the "HuSH brothers", as you call them, through 15 games in 2023, has exceeded that of the McKenzie/Crowder/Shakir trio in 2022. So it has been an upgrade, albeit a relatively minor one.

McDermott did have a choice - he could have started someone other than one of the worst NFL QBs in recent memory, in Nathan Peterman. After the Peterman debacle in 2017, why did McDermott go back to Peterman again? Another example of McDermott's stubbornness.

https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-playoff-picture-postseason-probabilities-entering-week-17-of-2023-season According to this article, the Bills have a 97% chance of making the playoffs with a win in Week 17.

Crowder put up a whopping 60 receiving yards in 2022 (and predictably got hurt), so the balance of that 500 yards came from McKenzie (the same guy who have a corny, derisive nickname for....like "Sharty"). Both Sherfield and Harty this year have outproduced 2022 Crowder, which is admittedly a very low bar to clear. Nobody has replaced McKenzie's production from 2022, but he's a dummy, or whatever you repeatedly call him

Reid chose to move on from a QB who led his team to the playoffs, while throwing for over 4000 yards, 26 TDs and 5 INTs, in favor of Mahomes. McDermott opted to start Nathan Peterman over Josh Allen. Maybe McDermott thought that the second start for Peterman would be a charm? Game management has been an adventure with McDermott, and I don't think that ownership particularly cares. Question is, will McDermott learn from his mistakes? He's shown a propensity for stubbornness, to the detriment of the team.

A win vs. NE, along with losses by PITT & CIN (both on the road, against SEA & KC, two teams with much to play for), would clinch a playoff berth in Week 17.

Seems like not forcing/producing turnovers in close games is a fairly significant issue as well,

Lawrence is vastly overrated.

Miami’s guards false start rather often

I didn’t say that “the defense was the issue”, nor did I insinuate that. the defense did not play well, however…against a backup QB and a team missing their WR1.

How many tough, tight window, throws did the Bills force Stick to make?

On my way to Prior Aviation! Who’s with me???

Who was dialing up the ‘pressure’ packages?

Defense looking soft, slow and ineffective

My interpretation of "somewhat probable" differs from that of the OP, apparently.

Martin and the punt protection team are really struggling. Dallas really should have blocked the punt on which they were called for roughing the punter, and they had come close to a block on the previous Bills punt as well.

Kincaid had 2 drops

Shouldn't the goal of any offense be to exploit a defense's weaknesses and try to minimize its strengths?
