Bigger named QBs to fit your agenda, to paint your boy Tyrod in a better light? If you picked under 200 yards( which everyone would do and makes way more sense), Tyrod sits at 184, the big names go away and doesn't fit your agenda as nicely. The under 200 yards list is Kizer, Cutler, Flacco, Hoyer, Hundley, Trubisky, Savage and even Aaron Rodgers (though he only started 6 games). You just can't handle that Tyrod stinks and is in the bottom with the also rans and rookies, save Rodgers. The first stage is acceptance, let it happen. The love affair with this guy is unprecedented and down right creepy. I've never seen the excuses and fabrications made to make this guy look better than he is, it's bizarre. 21-18 for an average at best roster isn't terrible at all. In fact, if they finish 9-7, TT will have the most wins-24-of any QB during the drought. he is a good stop gap till the Bills get better. the creepy thing is the crusaders who have an infatuation of hate towards one player, even in wins. this should be a happy week after a nice road win. But there are those unhappy that we won.

Does that affect points? We're 30th in passing yards. Does that affect our ability to get down field and score TD's and FG's? Passing yards are irrelevant to 9th grade statisticians. Nobody else. Tyrod was 24th in passing TDs year and they were a top 10 scoring offense (higher before week 17). It doesn’t matter how you move the ball. It’s baffling that you still can’t follow that. That’s why no one in sports worries about gross stats. They don’t tell a story. There isn’t a team in football looking at passing yards or rushing yards to analyze a situation. They look at, and care about, data points that influence outcomes of games. They play chess, not checkers.

I would have liked a safe pass play called in that last series to get a first down and end the game there.

Gigs Posted November 29, 2017 Posted November 29, 2017 Fitz did what people were compaining about 10 years ago. No playoffs. Need more than just a QB

We were 1st in rushing yards can you not see how that impacts our ability to get down the field and score?!? This is the stupidest argument anyone has made since the suggestion that we trade Mario Williams for John Skelton. It is the sum of the parts that we need to evaluate not a part. If you don’t see the value that Tyrod provides to the running game I don’t know what to tell you. You are saying we’d score more if we threw more TDs. That’s true if it doesn’t come at the expense of the running game. If it does it’s a net zero. The same holds true for yards. That’s been the issue from the start. The offense was good the last two years. It isn’t this year. It’s not because of passing yards. It’s because what they did well, they don’t anymore. The main difference is the guy designing the offense and calling the plays.

Why did they have a better points per drive stat? A better yards per game stat? Do you want a hint? It has something to do with them scoring more passing TD's and passing for more yards.

We were still in the top 10 in scoring. You can always be better but a top 10 scoring offense in consecutive years should be enough to win. The Bills scored the exact same amount of points as the Steelers last year and that includes the EJ clunker in week 17. They are in the 15 spots lower with largely the same personnel. That’s not because of the passing game. It is pretty much the same. Edited November 29, 2017 by Kirby Jackson

Now the running game is suffering and we aren't seeing that effect in reverse? Shouldn't the Bills have higher grossing numbers to compensate? Why aren't they? Could it maybe relate to the fact our QB isn't all that great at passing? A fact that you said "doesn't matter," while we limp along as the 22nd offense in points scored? Also "should be enough to win" sounds like eliminating blame. If we didn't win enough to make the playoffs, it wasn't "enough." And this from a guy who says W-L is what matters.

I think he’s pretty much the same but if anything many would argue he’s a better passer. The scheme and playcalling is what’s different.

When you have the same guys, a new coach and different results the coaching is the reason. That is so, so, so basic. Are you new to this sports thing? Let me ask it it another way, is Shady an average RB now? Edited November 29, 2017 by Kirby Jackson

You don't contend that our gross passing numbers were low in 2015 and 2016 because our rushing numbers were high and "a rushing TD and passing TD count the same?" No, he's not.
