You already formed your entire argument on what you see and invalidated any statistical measure at the position. Statistics that are meaningful, but you still dismiss the benefit of that knowledge all together. Such a view isn't capable of being applied to other players equally for context. It's has no real anchor in what a player like him should be doing relative to peers. When challenged you revert to "Other people just don't understand football". Somebody else called out "fantasy" mind set. I here similar arguments all the time for McD. It is our seething blind hate that clouds are ability to be rational therefor our opinion must not be relevant. Here, it's just are lack of football understanding. I played from 9 until 1/2 year in college, so your speculation, along with the other "fantasy" brain call outs is just off the mark. The players in his weight class of pay make a higher rate of negative plays. That can be sacks, TFLs, or even pressures. You don't care, I get it, but the history of the game does, the actual game does. Negative plays do matter. If you're basing your opinion on how good he's been with run fits, anchoring, double teams, helping others produce, things that don't get on a stat sheet, than great! But you still won't find any players in his weight class failing to get on a stat sheet at the rate he does. Which IS part of the conversation. Ultimately those measurements are how elite production is defined and paid out for at his position. Anchoring and run defense is not what gets a DE in the NFL upper money bands. He's a good player but overpaid relative to the skill set he is giving the Bills. Paid enough that further investment in players that can actually generate the negative outcomes at DE is greatly reduced. You clearly don't agree, but lets not pretend it's based on some higher level understanding of the game. -
He'll be starting in Az. next year.

If it’s 4 down territory why are you passing on 3rd and less than 2? - Yesterday

Josh is a good guy. It’s inherently part of his personality now that he came thru the hard way. So many people can relate to him and him to us. -

Old Kirby Smart may have faked the punt there -
Hopefully New England over pays for Jefferson. As not sure they're just him away from anything. As their Hunter Henry and Diggs getting old and feel they need a little more on defense.

I am by no means a college football expert, just a casual observer. Alabama, Ohio State and Notre Dame are the 3 teams I dislike -
I know for a fact he wouldn’t want to go to Cleveland. The Patriots most definitely will snag him because they’re gonna have the space and picks. We’d have to massively overpay for him. So he might be a pipe dream at this point.

Yup. Burrow reminds me the most of Tom Brady if he can stay healthy.

I would say #15 of UGA is the MVP for people who want an interesting game. -

What makes Burrow so hard to defend is that he’s easily the best anticipatory passer in the league! Dude just puts the ball in the air and the receivers just have to be in certain spots. Bills must score 40 to win this game tomorrow. This game is gonna be hard because they’re gonna stress the defense and be very aggressive going for it on 4th down a lot. We might need to have the field littered with corners and safeties, because I have no faith that they’ll generate pressure and get to him. Burrow kills us with those little quick passes. I’m still trying to figure out how you defend those?😂

Game week thread - Bengals at Bills (flexed to 1pm ET)
Steptide replied to BillsFan619's topic in The Stadium Wall
Not sure our pass rush, or lack thereof, really matters much this week. Burrow is one of the fastest qbs to get the ball out. I'm more more concerned for the secondary -
Beebe didn't play. He got hurt in the week 16 Miami game. Al Edwards replaced him. It was a sneaky Injury because defenses couldn't matchup with two great deep threats. Edwards was pretty decent tho. Bills has Tasker obviously for depth and also used Don Smith as a slot type backup wr This allowed Reed, Thomas, & McKeller to be matched up on slower lbs back then and it was almost impossible to adjust when they were going no huddle. This is why bellicheat put 8-9 in covg and purposely let buffalo run. For 3 reasons 1. You shorten the game. You can only score 1 TD per possession. Make the other team go 12-15 plays 2. Betting on the bills impatience with the run & short passing game because of their incredible success the last two playoffs games. 95 pts in 2 games 3. Punishment of the bills wrs. You put 8-9 guys in covg and back then you could destroy wrs and basically mug them. The pats with bellicheat had a similar game plan vs the 2001 rams with Holt, Bruce & Faulk

I had a conversation with my daughter during a game after he did something ridiculous, telling her to enjoy this, savor it, pay attention to every little bit, because the odds of us seeing this in Buffalo again are somewhere between slim and none. -

What I'd give to have Bruce in his prime on this team. A guy that size moving that quickly and with so much power... I've never seen anyone like that, except maybe Myles Garrett. Thurman and Kelly were amazing, loved Biscuit, Talley, and Reed, but Bruce was on a different level altogether. If there was a HOF for HOF players, he would be in it. -

Because it wasn’t dirty enough for a fine. Penalty should have been called though.
