I think it’s a mix of tanking and being sick of Bell.

Again, look at the performance of the player who preceded him on that team at the same position.

Apparently not. All I ask is that you consider questioning your narrative. The player who preceded him in the same offense was markedly worse.

Again, he literally led the league in passer rating last year. Some fans are waaaaay too attached to a narrative. Narratives can change.

Look at his stats since arriving in TN. He literally led the NFL in passer rating last year. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/T/TannRy00.htm

Why? Seriously. He’s a good story - paired with Gase, he floundered, but we all know how bad Gase is now. In a better situation, he’s showing why he was drafted so high.

Tannehill since coming to TN has been one of the three best QBs in the NFL. He is way beyond “competent” at this point.

No one can consistently rush the passer. No one to fear. Mind you, holding is out of control across the league and affecting every team.

Who cares? Bad d regardless

I think it’s more that the better team won. It’s not complicated.

This.

I still think the lack of a real pass rush is the key problem. Yes, the secondary sucked, but that can at least be explained by injury.

And his replacement ....

No holding is being called this year.

Honestly, he’s still pretty good. He’d be an upgrade, but not a process guy.

? - it was 100 percent a low, illegal hit.

The funny thing about fitz is that i think he’s a measurably better player now. Still streaky, of course.

Yes. The Bills were always goong to lose at least three games and possibly six given the brutal schedule.

No, they are pro-the better team. The Bills look like crap.

This. It is terrible.

Someone here said Saturday (Yolo, I think? Can't recall and I'm not looking it up). Anyway, whether it was Thursday or Saturday is utterly irrelevant. I didn't know, and I was alarmed by the inactive list. I overreacted. It's not like I'm constantly churning out conspiracy theories here, man!

How many times do I have to say "I was wrong" or "I was overspeculating" or "my bad"? Do I have to do a metaphorical walk of shame here? Christ.

As I said literally five times above, I did not know about the knee until about a half hour ago. I was being challenged by Hapless for not accounting for the previous calf issue and it's effect on his practice participation. The knee thing apparently happened on Saturday. Sheesh. And I'll man up and admit that I'm not the sort of person who spends his time reading the practice participation tea leaves. No offense to those who do, of course. They are valuable contributors to the board.

Hope he has learned to consistently catch and hold onto the ball. The talent is there, but those weaknesses are maddening.

As I said above, he played very well the previous week despite the previous calf injury. I figured that was minor and wouldn't stop him. A lot of guys are on injury reports over multiple weeks but always play.
