Totally get the disparity in quality of wins and losses. Can be indicative of future performances. Even the Bills wins, minus Panthers and Jets, were competitive, frustrating affairs for much of those games. The Bills have not played terribly well overall to date. (Which is all technically in the past, of course.) But also, statistically, winning early (first quarter of season, for example) and often also has an outsized negative influence on those early opponents' records. And, of course, the Bills could reasonably improve and go on to win games against playoff-bound teams despite those early scraps. This is why the cliche "Week 1 is a liar" exists, because the sample size is small enough to be simply binary: 1 or 0. Can't really tell a meaningful story with that one data point. So this week will add a LOT more to our developing understandings of the 2025 season. And still it's early.

Didn't say it was a formula, just that you can win that way. The 2012 Ravens aren't really a repeatable formula. They were just a well rounded decent team that rode an out of this world playoff run by Flacco to a SB. The comps there are probably the 9-7/10-6 Giants teams that beat Brady. I just think the folks complaining about WR aren't being realistic. It's pretty clear to me that those folks aren't looking for a depth-type piece like Jacobi Meyers or Rasheed Shaheed. They make it sound like our WR room is in shambles, but one of those guys comes in and all of a sudden we're a SB contender? I don't buy it. It's more like they want a top 10 type player like Chase, Nacua, jefferson, St. Brown, etc. That obviously isn't happening. IF we get even one WR they'll be somewhere between 25-50. That's a role player/depth guy. We've got a roster full of those guys already, so I don't think Beane's going to go out of his way to add another one. One thing that MIGHT be possible is they look to upgrade the TE room since they seem like they really want to use them a lot. Maybe they finally go out and try to get Hockenson. I also wouldn't be shocked to see them try to upgrade RB2, since their entire philosophy is basically on Cook's shoulders right now and the dropoff is massive. Maybe Jordan Mason, Nick Chubb, or even Devin Singletary could be options there.

Even more reason I hope it’s Kincaid

Even if there isn't a high leverage, late-game field goal try, Prater will still be essential in maximizing points through PATs and FGs throughout. Maybe the big kick is at the end of the 1st half, for example. Or really, any missed scoring kicks or even flubbed kickoffs (out of bounds or outside landing zone) could sway things heavily in retrospect, given the typically narrow margins between these teams. Gotta convert those opportunities. CANNOT SQUANDER opportunities for points.

London was out past week when Cousins played.

I dunno, word on the street is Mrs Allen may have injured her spleen. 😱

The Chiefs are playing a tougher schedule though. The worst team they've lost to is the 4-3 Jaguars. Their other losses are to the 6-2 Eagles and the 5-3 Chargers in the 1st 2 Weeks. And they defeated the Lions. The only team we've played with a winning record is the Patriots.

What am I reading I did not expect this mix this with Jim beam and I'm confused

You ignored my question. I can't tell if you're missing my point or ignoring it. If the Bills have a high YPA but a lower than typical yardage total, it simply means they haven't had as many attempts as other teams. You want a higher total? Throw the ball more. The bills haven't needed to throw the ball more than they have, so the total is lower. That's a good thing. Our running game has been bearing the load, but our passing game is as efficient as the best passing offenses in the league, they just don't pass as much. If they happen to have a need to pass more, expect the yardage total to increase.

Prater period. These games are usually very close. Prater will be the clutch player to decide it.

Peyton Manning was the most annointed player in NFL history and Josh is still younger than him before he won his first super bowl Can we all make fun of you in 6 months for spreading this information if you're wrong 😝

On one hand, don't the Chiefs have THREE losses already? One more than the Bills? At worst, we'd have the same number of losses after this week. (But I get the different trajectories in that scenario.) On the other hand, I agree wholeheartedly that beating up the Dalton-led Panthers offense is no great achievement. (Even if beating up the Panthers defense WAS a noteworthy achievement.)

You guys are nuts. Seriously though, I don't recall ever seeing Brazil nuts in the shell. They're quite large as it is.

Hate to break it to you but the Pats aren’t mediocre man. Completely obliterated one of the best defenses in football whilst still getting wrecked behind the LOS.

Including, ironically, getting bent out of shape when someone playfully critiques careless written communication in a text-based medium...👇

I throw Penix in there too. As wild and inconsistent as he can be he at least tries to stretch the defense vertically whether it’s successful or not. Cousins looks timid and unwilling to make the attempt. One of the few times keeping Lamar in there makes sense given he’s coming off the injury. As much live action to get reacclimatized won’t hurt that football team.

Just the beginning.

I meant Lamar.

Pats are playing good football right now. I don’t think they’ll lose to the falcons. There HC is Vrabel not McDoucher

Diggs is gonna be closer to what peak Beasley was as this season carries on, providing a reliable possession option who gets quick separation. Very QB friendly. John Brown in Buffalo was a boundary dude who could burn. He was dangerous when isolated. And they had chemistry, no doubt. But Allen also was MONEY going to Beas in the slot and even red zone. They complemented each other nicely, and then once the real #1 Diggs was acquired in his prime, the trio (with Gabe Davis as the 4th) did damage. Those passing performances in the 2021 season playoffs were historic. (And broke so many of our brains in the process.)
