Even when they ARE good, the media coverage is usually just like “aw, ain’t they cute? Bless their hearts!”. 7-2? Doesn’t matter. More wins against winning teams than anyone in the NFL? Meh. Exciting, endearing QB with a legit case for MVP? Yawn. I just can’t wrap my head around it. People will say “you have to earn it”, but what have the Cardinals earned? What did Lamar Jackson’s Ravens earn when they were the toast of the town? As others have pointed out: one of the teams in the Bills-Cardinals match beat the mighty Seahawks last week. One lost to the Dolphins. One QB outgunned Russell Wilson. One got outgunned by a rookie making his second start. So who does the media love and give the majority of the props and positive coverage to? The Cards, of course. It’s madness. I try not to let this stuff get to me, but it gets really old after a while. here's a gem from one of the worst in the business right now, Nick Wright.... mind you on monday he declared Tua the best qb in the east and said if the bills dont win the east they may not even make the playoffs....... A team thats 7-2..... ya. he said that.... he's also picked against buffalo vs. NE, SEA and now AZ. Edited November 13, 2020 by Stank_Nasty
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 What? To be MVP you have to win your division and that’s not Josh? 6 minutes ago, Stank_Nasty said: here's a gem from one of the worst in the business right now, Nick Wright.... mind you on monday he declared Tua the best qb in the east and said if the bills dont win the east they may not even make the playoffs.......

Dan Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 I would have that video playing on a loop in the locker room. Sure the Bills may lose Sunday. But, those takes are completely horrendous and disrespectful to a team that is 7-2 and beaten the teams they have, the way they have. I don’t think the Bills ..have.. to win the game this weekend. But imagine if they do, and all these guys heads exploding. Just imagine going into the bye at 8-2 having beaten the Patsies, the Seahawks and the Cards in the 3 previous weeks. Man I can’t wait for Sunday!! 2

One guy said the Bills are “too up and down”. They’ve won three straight and just beat everyone’s NFC Super Bowl favorite. Someone show that clip to the Bills locker room, please.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 3 hours ago, SCBills said: Feels like Seattle and Arizona switched places and we’re facing the league MVP and SB favorite this week by the way the media is talking. Even on the scroll for “Sit ‘Em” Bills Defense comes in at Number 2. Cole Beasley on that list as well. I hear analysts say “well, sure, Buffalo stopped RW, but KM is a whole different story”..... ehhh, ok.... Kyler is good, for sure, but somehow Wilson and Seattle became a middle of the pack team this week after losing to us, but Arizona is lethal with the best QB in the NFL after losing to Miami. Meanwhile, the other narrative is that “Buffalo can’t be trusted yet”.... which I’m ok with... I think beating AZ would finally squash that if we come away with the W. I hear ya. To be fair, 'Zona did win over Seattle - albeit in overtime by 3 points. On paper, Arizona has a more legit defense than Seattle, especially against the pass. On the other hand...their more legit defense didn't manage to slow the SeaSnakes down any better than we did - same points scored, except we were ahead all game. Arizona gave up about the same passing yards and 4x more rush yards to Seattle. I don't really know too much about Arizona's defense, honestly. The thing that sticks out from stat-gazing is that there's a huge discrepancy in their rank on yards given up, vs on points given up. They're #8 on points but #19 on yards. That discrepancy usually means something. They are getting turnovers - 10 take-aways - but they're also giving the ball up with 10 giveaways. They're clearly a better fundamental defense than Seattle against the pass, but not so good against the run (in theory). Seattle is #4 in rush YPG given up. Arizona is #22 - right after us. It's going to be interesting to see what kind of game plan we come out with, and whether or not this week's announcers have figured out that Daboll right now seems bound and determined to keep our offense from being pigeonholed. 3

Inconsistent drive to drive, but they come up with enough splash plays to support their offense. At least from the three games I saw.

Kangaxx Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 Nick Wright is terrible. He loves to hate JA for some reason.
Logic Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 The thing that gives me the most hope for offensive success is that Arizona plays mostly man coverage and doesn’t rush the passer very well. So far this year, Allen’s best games have all come against just such a combination. 3
Back2Buff Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 It's crazy how Hyde playing or not playing has zero effect on this defense. In a cost cutting year next season, see ya. This year it has become very apparent Poyer is the safety that carries that duo.

Allen and Co. have shredded any team that’s tried it this year. You can’t turn your back on Allen, it’s that simple. I think AZ plays more of what we’ve seen since the Titans game. 1

On the flip side, Murray struggles most vs zone, something the Bills play a lot of. 2

Yeah, there’s always going to be those few that just don’t like a certain player or team no matter what the said player or team does. As the old saying goes, “you can’t please everyone“.
PaattMaann Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 Patrick Peterson has largely been very successful against Diggs in three matchups. Given up like 90 total yards. Granted, Josh is the best QB Diggs has had in those mathups. Given this though, seems like a great game for Brown and Beasley to have career days. Would love Buddha to miss this game. Even if he does play, pretty easy to re-injure the groin injury, especially the way he plays.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 Pretty good overview I thought: https://www.buffalobills.com/news/7-things-to-watch-for-in-bills-at-cardinals-week-10 Not liking this OTOH Dean Marlow did well against NE so if Hyde can't go we'll cross our fingers and hope for the best
