I mean he does start talking about injuries once we get to Wednesday but besides that it's like trying to get blood from a stone.

“Sure.”

Where can I get a White Bills Jersey replica online? Seems all they sell is the royal.

You guys hear something? Like a mouse chirping -or a voice from future explorers? 😳

 

Yes, join a fanboard to find out how to buy something everyone has. Why else would you join? 

 

🤦‍♂️  

 

I’m not telling and I hope no one else does either. This could be fun.

Belichick certainly figured him out. 2 catches, 9 yards. 

[scribo]

Raiders Nation is less than confident. And they seem to feel about their QB the exact opposite as how we feel about ours.

 

No let-down game!

Getting a win here would be really big. NE plays at KC so their is a good chance the Pats are 2-2 by next Sunday night. A Bills win would not only give them a 2 game lead in the division but the Bills would become the first road team to get a win in the Raiders new stadium. That would be a pretty cool thing to do. Plus I don't know what the odds are to make the playoffs but a 4-0 start I would think they would be pretty good.

Anyone think Zay will torch us in a Murphy's Law kind of way?

The Law of Diminishing Returns applies more appropriately to Zay

the fact that 6 other dudes are above 71% through three weeks really shows how far behind Defenses are at the start of this season.

I’m very surprised by this.  With such a shortened offseason, I thought the offenses for the most part would struggle at the beginning and defenses would be ahead.

 

Do you know the 6 other QB’s?  I’m wondering if its all the ones who have been with the same systems for a few years.

Rivers 

Wilson 

Bridgewater

Carr

Minshew 

Fitzpatrick 

 

I think of those 6 all but Wilson and Carr are in new systems.

mixed bag. from first to sixth:

Rivers

wilson

bridgewater

carr

minshew

Worth noting that only Wilson and Allen have over 9 YPA. Some of them are pretty low (Minshew, Carr, Fitz all sub 8 ) which is usually indicative of more of a dink and dunk offense which boosts %

• Josh Allen 0.711
• Nick Mullens 0.702

 

If you look at the entire stat picture there it’s pretty clear Allen and Wilson are playing at a completely different level than the rest. 
 

Wilson 14tds, 1 int

Allen 10tds, 1 int (I think both of those ints are excusable even) 

next best is Carr at 6td, 0int.

 

Then yards its 
Allen 1039

Wilson 925

Bridgewater 871

 

 

 

Bridgewater actually has better numbers than I would have expected.

The league seems to be calling Offensive holding less (https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/29892284/nfl-week-1-holding-calls-78-percent-compared-2019-season) focusing on "clear and obvious penalties (https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/09/21/nfl-didnt-tell-teams-about-it-plan-to-focus-on-clear-and-obvious-fouls/).

 

I think pass interference / defensive holding calls also seem to be up.

True - the one difference is that with McDermott, it seems like they don't flop in games they are supposed to win all that often.

Love this. Confirms what we all thought, Allen has a little extra motivation to stick it to the world this weekend. Bills by a billion.
