Hopefully the Bills recognize this and get their heads right and come out and match the intensity that the packers will have

 

I forgot who it was, maybe Kyle Williams....but he said bulletin board material intensity only lasts until about the first or second drive.  After that, it's just regular football.

The Bills had a novel full of bulletin board material for 17 years and lost most of the time.

So the Packers chose to play well based on how the media discounts them? Wouldn't that have occurred after they got beat by the Giants in London? Or after getting beat by the lowly Jets at home, surely they would have beaten the Commanders with a backup qb? 

 

It says a lot if they only get fired up because a team that is actually better is favored...

We're going to have bulletin board material against us for every game this season since we're going to be favored by a lot in each game.

This game was awesome! The legendary "Baccari f---n Rambo" picked off Rodgers not once, but twice in this game and Marcus Thigpen returned a punt for a score on a day when Kyle Orton's passing attack was... well, as expected of a Kyle Orton passing attack. What a hilariously awesome win!

Nah, Daddy Rodgers still has to play Chicago.

man that Green Bay receiver corps is a shambles.   Is a hobbled Watkins really gonna be their WR1?

And I have no doubt the zebras will keep Aaron in this thing as long as they can without being obvious. 

 

FIFY

If a team needs "bulletin board" material to get motivated for a game then they are probably even worse than their record suggests.

It might be the worst WR corps in the NFL. 

 

I also don’t think their defense is great. Their passing defense has padded their stats on the following QB’s:

Justin Fields - 70yds passing

 

Tom Brady - we have now witnessed how bad that passing attack has gotten

 

Zappe/Hoyer - brutal

 

Daniel Jones

 

Zach Wilson

 

Heinecki 

 

The best QB they played was Kirk Cousins week 1 and he had a great game.

Good lord. Bills defense would feast on those QB's. And the Bucs game I think they were without all their WR's. They were playing Cole Beasley off the street.

For a Primetime game the coverage of the teams has been comically lopsided. Except the team getting the lack of coverage happens to be the vegas favorite to win the super bowl.... its weird man.

This league's obsessive infatuation to hold on to the Rodgers/ Brady narrative is becoming desperate.

The packers are 3-4 playing against some of the worst QB’s/passing attacks in the NFL this season.
 

The Packers are a brutally bad team and if there was any question remaining, it’ll be answered on Sunday when the Bills are up 30 by the start of the 4th quarter.

I dont think it has sunk in yet how spoiled we are getting with this team. Those point differential numbers are nuts.

I'm curious what they count as primetime games. Are they including post season here?

 

Pro football reference has him with a 6-3 record in primetime games which is under the minimum of 10 games in the quoted stat. And a passer rating of 105.3, below the quoted 108.6

 

Pro football reference is using 7pm or later kickoffs as primetime games.

I have Josh as 9-3 in 7:00 or later starts since the start of the 2020 season, includes playoffs.  Now those are 7:00 Eastern time and some games were out west, maybe that is skewing PFR's numbers?

 

Also, how great must it be for a Northern California kid to be on these lists with Montana and Young?

That's a .750 win percentage so while close to the quoted stats something is still missing.

 

I think they are these games and they include the playoffs. 8-3 equals the quoted .727 win percentage.

 

 

Didn't Allen grow up a Patriots/Brady fan?

Once a year Sammy has a great game where he puts up all kinds of fantasy points, let’s hope it’s not this week. 

 

I don't think Sammy's had a game >100 yds since 2019 (3 seasons back), and then, it was 1 game of unbelievable stats at the beginning of the season followed by "meh".

 

To do him credit, his 1st 2 years in B'lo he was putting up 4-5 games a season of monster stats, so perhaps he really does see his time with the Bills fondly in hindsight, now that he's had the chance to be a #3 or #4 WR on a couple of very good teams and fight for the scraps.

 

The thing is, injuries plagued him while he was young 'n' dumb and I don't think he ever embraced taking care of his body and "mentals" the way others have.  Does he even have a "great game" in him at this point?

 

Whether or not he does, GNB will need more than 1 guy to step up.

He's a Brady fan, for sure. I think he's just a fan of the player.
