Let's not get carried away now......maybe 2D chess at best, AT BEST

Good luck tonight, that's a real tall order! I'm looking forward to seeing what Bryant Haines has cooked up on D. I've been impressed with his coaching.

U say that now but in the WC game when he goes down due to XYZ too many hits to XYZ - yer gonna be thinking differently.....need Brady to step up and design some better plays......Pit was easy for him....same basic play after play after play. Sure as hell hope they win with that.....what happens when we go to Foxboro????? Still shaking my head over that Fins game......ugh!

Just adding a little to your case... A usual response is, "Yeah, well all teams have injuries, it's the NFL." So, I looked to see if the Bills indeed have been hit harder than many other teams. The following article (from three days ago, so current) tries to figure out which NFL team has been hit hardest this season by injury. They do not just look at number of players on IR and total games missed, etc. They try to weigh in the actual value of the player to the team by a metric they call "Total Points Value." I can't say I looked too deeply into their metric, but they are at least trying to determine the value of a player (so, a second or third string guy that didn't see the field much would have 0 value in their metric), rather than just total number of team injuries. According to their metric, they have the Bills as the 6th hardest hit team in value player injuries. But the Bills actually have the 3rd most missed games by valued players. The reason for the disparity is they weigh losing say a QB like Burrow as more significant than say a WR or another position. Also interesting to note is how they close the article, "The Patriots and Rams are the most fortunate teams so far in terms of health, which sheds a little light on their strong showings this year. The five teams with the fewest Total Points missed due to injury are currently a combined 41-20, compared to 24-37 from the top 5 teams (most Total Points missed due to injury)." https://www.sportsinfosolutions.com/2025/12/03/which-nfl-teams-have-been-most-and-least-affected-by-injuries-in-2025/

Game week thread - Bengals at Bills (flexed to 1pm ET)

I think this might be Spector's 3rd call up if not mistaken. Amazingly he has not pulled a hammy yet... -
Greg Rousseau has turned out to be a complete slug.

Thank you for more math and less football. There's nothing sneaky about him being good if you're actually watching him play instead of cherry-picking numbers to advance a narrative you've decided to dedicate yourself to. -

Excited to see what Fox brings to the table. Spector, not so much. -
Well I don’t see Josh’s name, Cam

I don’t think it is that interesting. If you have a guy who is in the top 10 conversation year after year, you pay him. You don’t dump them shooting for a perennial top 3 guy. Those guys are usually Hall of Famers. How many HoF or HoF trajectory QBs have been drafted since Aaron Rodgers in 2005? Wilson, Mahomes, Allen, Lamar is the entirety of the list. Maybe one more that we don’t know yet, but Wilson wasn’t more than a top 10 guy for a lot of his career. So hoping you can find 1 of 4 give or take QBs over 20 years is not a good strategy.

You see the chart I posted over the whole season, relative to his pears. Sacks, TFLs, QB Hits. Underperforming on a per game basis relative to everybody in his pay range. It's not unreasonable to use objective tools in context over large samples vs your subjective view on how sneaky good he is. -
Good point.

Game week thread - Bengals at Bills (flexed to 1pm ET)
LEBills replied to BillsFan619's topic in The Stadium Wall
Would like to think this means Kincaid plays since Latu isn’t called up. But since they would have to sign Latu to the active roster for this call up, it is still a mystery until 11:30 Sunday. -
Sure, but buffoons are going to buffoon. There's multiple layers here, which makes it more damning. You can't hide the buffoon, so let's hope he wisens up or gets dealt with

I felt at one time that this was a Bills thing, but I think it is a league thing. The injuries across the entire league are alarming, and it seems like multiple causes. it will never happen, but modifying the TNF set up so teams have a bye the week before seems like it would help cutting down on some injuries. But I do think a lot of these guys are overtraining in the gym and undertraining re flexibility and mobility. I would love to hear a strength and conditioning coach outline the training regimens for these players.

UB Men's Basketball: 8-0, host 8-1 Bona Saturday 2pm ESPN+
PromoTheRobot replied to PromoTheRobot's topic in Off the Wall
Good game @B-Man Bona is just better but we kept it close. -
This would be extremely hilarious if we, somehow, actually win the AFC title game to get the Super Bowl this season while the Eagles are sent home WITH Darius Slay already AT home on his couch the entire time. LOL.
-
We are at the angry social media post/discussion with the coach phase with Pickens. Next phase will be the coach: “i had a great meeting with George, and we will leave it at that.”
-
This feels like a shot at Darius Slay and/or Drew Rosenhaus, by Darnell Savage's agent 😂

The players that are missed that are impactful are Oliver, Hoecht, Kinkaid and Palmer. 3 of the 4 losses Kinkaid was missing. I don't think it's a coincidence the O looked lost in those games. This offense needs to be able to line up in 12, 13 and 22 to dictate to defenses because the WR room is weak. To be able to pass out of those formations reliably they need Kincaid and Knox together. When they can't do that, it tends to spell trouble. As for Palmer, I know he hasn't had a sizable impact yet, but he has a skillset that is missing in this O. He's the best route runner of the WRs and is one of the only guys (maybe THE only guy) that can regularly get separation vs. man to man. I'd had loved to see him and Josh start to click after enough time together. They just don't have the reps and I don't think they'll be able to get them by season's end. It takes time and he's missed too much of it.

It seems a little weird for a head coach with SB aspirations to choose two first time coordinators to run his offense and defense. And, yeah, hopefully they learning as they go and continuing improving. But look at KC in comparison: HC: Reid. A creative offensive guru, his track record speaks for itself. DC: Spags. Some say Spags, a former head coach, is the best DC in the league. Romo says he needs to be in the coordinator HOF (if there was one). OC: Nagy. Nagy, the NFL Coach of the Year in 2018, is known for creativity and QB development skills. Reid/Spags/Nagy might be the most talented, intelligent coaching triumvirate in the league. I like McD as a head coach but I don't think McDermott/Babich/Brady is in the same tier. Hopefully, they'll get there.
