Week 14 - Bills at Rams Game Week Thread

[Special K]

I'm sure the Bills have already left for LA, because I heard there were going to be 30-60 mph winds in Buffalo tonight.....not ideal plane takeoff weather!!

 

Probably a good thing the Bills are on the road this week with that forecast.

Don't we have until 4pm today, for official roster changes ahead of tomorrow?  Practice Squad, activating IR players/releases

 

Yes because it's a 4:25pm game instead of a 1pm game.

It's not a mistake if you are throwing to a wide open player for a TD.

 

Dawkins got shoved into his shoulder and the ball ended up short.

 

 

I can’t believe this is getting talked about still 🤣 if josh threw to Diggs and didn’t end up coming away with a td on that drive anyway (very very likely outcome the way that chiefs defense tightened up late) everyone would be whining Josh didn’t take that wide open td shot

It really is bizarre 

 

You don't pass up on a wide open TD to take the lead late for the chance to take a little more time off along with the chance at nothing being guaranteed 

 

What if it's a tip pass int or fumble or whatever 

 

You absolutely go for the lead within the context shakir being wide open 

 

I don't get it either 

 

Why am I trading a chance to take the lead for literally nothing the next play??? 😳

Yep the ridiculous take that Allen did the wrong thing by targeting an open WR for a TD is alive and well on 2BD.  And did you notice that now these people are claiming that not only was Digg's a lock to get the 1st down he would have gained 20 yards! Soon they'll claiming Diggs would have scored.

 

And notice how another Allen myth refuses to die - the one where Allen got Kincaid hurt by overthrowing him by a foot in the Indy game.  Of course since that game I have since dozens of wide open receivers get overthrown by their QB's including by Burrow, Mahomes, Jackson, Love, Goff and almost every top QB. We should be seeing a flurry of knee injuries due to overthrown balls.  Instead maybe what happened to Kincaid was a one off fluke?

Allen has too many turnovers 👀

Checks notes .....

 

*Allen has the lowest int percentage in NFL playoff history 

 

* Allen has the third LEAST amount of turnovers in NFL playoff history for a QB in his first ten playoff games 

 

* Allen has 7 more total turnovers than Tom Brady in his first 6 years starting...

 

I can't remember the ints, but I think Allen has like 6-8 more ints than Brady in his first 6 years starting 

 

It's literally a delusional bizzare make believe world that Allen haters live in. The world of make believe 

 

Yeah I just checked because I couldn't remember 

 

* Allen and Brady have the exact same amount of ints in their first 6 years starting (78)

 

It's actually slightly better for Allen in context because Allen had to play as a rookie 

 

I guess Brady is a turnover machine....

Diggs probably would've dropped the ball. Josh made the perfect decision and it didn't work out because Dion lost contain for a millisecond.  Shi# happens...

Yep, the Flightradar app showed their Delta jet departed Buffalo at 1:25pm.  Will arrive in LA at 3:05pm there.  

LAX weather currently 77 and Sunny. 🌞

As someone who grew up in Ann Arbor, you have no idea what you're talking about. It's fine if you don't like a place or person but to say what you said is comical and totally wrong.

Since we’re entering week 14 including our bye, we have more robust data to see where we stack up.

 

Offense

Pts. Scored/Game

 

Bills #2- 29.6

Rams- #20th- 21.2 

 

Defense

Pts. Scored against

 

Bills- 6th- 18.7

Rams- 22nd- 24.2

 

Turnover Differential

 

Bills- #1, yep #1- +17

Rams- #11th- +3

 

Punt Avg. Return

 

Bills- 7th- 11.9 yds

Rams- 26th- 8.2 yds

 

(I didn’t bother with KO returns)

 

So bottom line is we are superior on offense, defense, turnover diff., and punt returns.

 

Any questions?

 

Bills 31

Rams 20

 

 

HOW’s THAT FOR ENTERTAINMENT?  One of my favorite movies of recent years.  I’m waiting for the sequel as Armie Hammer (the guy who plays the Russian Spy) has been lobbying for it for 5 years.

He should've thrown it to Diggs.  At worst that's a 3rd and short.  Run down the clock and either score a TD or FG with under 30 seconds to go.  Our defense wasn't stopping Mahomes even if Allen hits that low percentage pass to Shakir 25 yards down the middle of the field.  The entire game script was abandoned for some reason after that two minute warning.

Wrong because it's so right.  We should sell Ann arbor to Canada but even they wouldn't take it.

I am currently at Santa Monica Brew Works. Mafia is here in force.

Was Keon on the flight? Didnt see him in the boarding pics.

I'm not rushing to bring back Kincaid at all. Him and Josh aren't as in sync as we all had hoped and Knox brings some physicality. 

 

Cine is interesting.

Kincaid likely out again. Glad to see Morrow is the odd man out versus Jefferson and Phillips.

Chand, I don’t know for sure, but from his interview (I think Friday) he made it sound like he’s playing.  I hope so as not so much for the Rams, but to be in rhythm for the Lions.
