what is our 3rd and short conversion%?  Link please

 

Doesn't have conversion % that I can find, but does have a lot of information on run vs pass in different situations and yardages

I'd like to see a 3rd and short conversion % myself

You’re moving the goalposts. You said we already know we can’t run….  You said nothing about Devin Singletary being the only runner on the team.  The other runners being 17 and 28.

 

Josh Allen is a part of our run game.  Not sure why you exclude him?  Do the ravens exclude Lamar?  Does Philly exclude Hurts?  
 

How is James cook averaging 5.3 ypc if we can’t run.  Does he sometimes play QB and scramble?  
 

what is our 3rd and short conversion%?  Link please

 

There you go, trying to confuse a perfectly good baseless fan hot take with pesky facts.  Be careful, you will make his head explode.

It is so simple and frankly,lame, to just say "trap game". Do you listen to the interviews with Bills players and coaches? They are professionals, all focusing on one game at a time.

I hope you're right.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but clearly some of you do...

 

THE GAME IS ON SATURDAY!!!

You mean the day before Sunday?  Holy sh$t.    The day after Friday.  And the day before Christmas.

that's a really big dome....then you have to worry about airspace...and making sure the doors are big enough for the trucker's to get in and out and that's nothing compared to the ships bringing the sand into buffalo.  are we paying to bill to heat and A/c this space as well or is that the county or state?   LOL.

I think he secretly wants a 60 mile diameter dome over the entire area, but is afraid to ask.  Because of shyness.

 

Fun fact, in the 70's they had a wacky idea to put a dome over the entire town of Winooski, VT

And people think the folks in Buffalo drink a lot...  🤣

Assuming Morse is out this game. Hopefully Bates is ready to go. Has Ike been practicing? Assuming he’ll be inactive this week. It sure would be nice if the Bills put this game away early and some of the starters could rest in the 4th qtr but not counting on it. Regardless Bills D needs to improve their tackling this week and shut down their offense. Put this game away early!

[Big Turk]

Snowfall totals for some areas of WNY have really jumped the past few model runs...Buffalo Metro in the 15-20" range with the area from Erie,PA all the way up to the Eastern burbs of Buffalo looking at potential in the 3-4 feet range...

 

Not really looking forward to this one...even if the snow totals stay down a little there is high potential for power outages and blizzard like conditions for much of the Friday Night - Saturday Night period.

Chicago may only have three wins but they have lost a ton of close games.  Four out of their last six losses have been 5 points or less. Let’s play well and clinch the AFCE this weekend.

Went to boot camp in Chicago - just a miserable environment - so many times just going outside and my nostrils freezing instantly and I grew in Rochester so it's not like I wasn't used to the cold

Same. Oct -Dec 2004. My graduation day was 17 below with the wind chill.  It was horrible but looking around at all the people from Georgia and Florida, etc.  warmed me up a bit. Haha.

I was August 95- Feb'96 - got super lucky and boot was longer because of a government shutdown and our training was stuck 2.1 day- the first day the could exercise us.

Then had another month of training after boot was over- was with the same types - I mean I was cold but so many others were feeling it way worse coming from warmer climates- I still have zero ambitions on ever returning

I really can’t believe people are still concerned about Josh Allen’s elbow

I hope they didn’t throw out the plans.  

Could be useful in 15 years for the Mars mission.

I feel like most nfl games at this time of year are pretty close regardless of records between teams

Certainly seems the case, but there’s going to be a ton of bad weather games this weekend.. starting on TNF with wind and rain for MetLife.

It's gonna be crazy, and it looks freezing all over the place. Our cabin in Montana could see -30.

He is talking about the Buffalo area not Chicago, we are about to get hammered twice...first with the main storm system and heavy snow with near hurricane force winds, then by heavy lake effect snow...

 

Basically think of this as a Blizzard of 77 level storm without the 3+ feet of snow sitting on the entire length of frozen Lake Erie to blow into Buffalo.

Now I’m starting to get worried about what this storm could end up being. Good news is I’ll be out of town in a tropical climate for the holidays. Bad news is what damage can happen at home while I’m not there. Need to show my house sitter how to use the generator and make sure the sump pump doesn’t go out.
