No it does not what so ever. That is not even remotely true, I mean come one dude, this isn't fantasy football. 1 yard equals 1 yard. 1 point equals 1 point. If we gave up 222 yards while also giving up 200+ yards passing, then those 222 yards rushing would be a problem because thats over 400 yards of offense. But when you hold an offense to less than 240 yards of offense, guess what...thats pretty good outing for your defense that likely means they didnt give up a lot of points, which they didnt.

They why did 7 of their 9 drives end in 5 plays or less? Why did they punt 6 out of 9 drives? Its the NFL, you WONT stop a team on every play, every drive. The guys on the other side of the ball are paid to make plays too. So to see people in here claiming we cant stop the run when we stopped the run most the night outside a small handful of runs is what the issue is here. Defense gave up less than 240 yards...1 TD...forced 6 punts in 9 drives, etc etc....thats a good defensive effort that should be enough to win most games.

TOP difference was more because our lack of execution, those stats dont tell the story and are a misleading stat for last nights game. They run the ball every play, clocks keeps ticking TOP keeps climbing DESPITE actual production. They punted 6 times and 5 or fewer plays on 7 of their 9 drives. We were throwing a lot and clock stops on incompletions which makes the TOP looks worse than it was for our defense. End of the day, offensive gameplan and execution, penalties. drops were the culprit here.

So suddenly 222 yards of offense in a game is bad? What would you be saying if they passed for 222 yards? Probably not much. Defense gave up 2 drives over 5 plays all game and 1 TD. They had a strong outing.

Overly aggressive? I wasn't being aggressive at all. Just saying this notion we couldn't stop the run last night needs to stop. Our Defense didnt cost us this game. Self inflicted mistakes, poor Redzone play calling, and Dabolls inability to adjust again are our biggest issues.

But they did stop the run. They only had 2 drives over 5 plays long the whole game. To expect more than that is unreasonable. We gave up one TD on the day, and outside that one TD we held the run game in check almost the entire game. So OP is right, its inaccurate to say we couldn't stop the run when we stopped the run all game outside one big one. If they passed the ball 50 times and only gained 225 yards passing with one lone long TD play, literally no one would be saying we couldn't stop the pass. But they run nearly 50 times and gain 222 yards rushing with one fluke TD and now we cant stop the run? Makes no sense.

First off, everyone needs to stop about the 222 yards rushing...If a team rushes that many times and throws just 3 times, guess what, the rushing yard total is going to seem high. End of the day, we gave up less than 250 yards on the day, forced 6 punts and only allowed 2 drives over 5 plays. Thats a good defensive effort. To fault the D here and point at something like "total rush yards" in a game they threw 3 times is just bad analysis.

I have been saying it over and over...and will say it again here...Every loss we have this year was due to self inflicted mistakes. We have an uncanny way of shooting ourselves in the foot with untimely penalties killing drives or extending opponents drives, unforced turnovers, dropped passes, etc. Our defense was not why we lost last night, I mean outside the one TD run, they held up pretty good considering.

Maybe he been struggling in practice too with fumbles or decision making. Just seems like McD comments strongly suggest it was more than a fumble.

Yes the OP is wrong

We had multiple screens blown up last night for losses or no to short gains.

Has anyone stopped to think that maybe its more than just the fumble with the Colts game? For all we know, McKenzie might have been making mistakes in practice and muffing balls. Also sounds like its more than just a fumble, he said "good decisions", so could be McKenzie has made some poor decisions in regards of when to return or not to return. I have a feeling he is mad at McKenzie for more than the fumble.

To name a couple of my faves: Phillips’s and also Coles, both in Downtown LA to name a couple. Both places claim to have created the French Dip actually. To give perspective…if I ranked them a 10 then the beef on Weck we had at Bar-Bill would probably be about a 6. Not trying to be a downer, we loved everywhere we ate in Buffalo, just the beef on Weck didn’t like up to the hype for us. I was expecting one of the best roast beef sandwiches we had, and it just wasn’t anything special. Another fave of mine is my local dive bar in my beach community called MO’s. Funny story, the owner Mo is who “Moe” from the Simpsons is based on. Also same place they filmed the first Sharknado haha although it being waterfront was CGI, it’s actually like 200 feet from the ocean. Honestly…Beef had no flavor. Not bad, just forgettable. Star of a roast beef sandwich should be the beef IMHO.

Elmo’s was our favorite when we were there week 1. Our list of wing stops was Bar-Bill, Elmo’s, Duff’s, and Anchor Bar. Elmo’s won. For an unpopular opinion: Buffalo does NOT have the best roast beef sandwiches, nor is it even close. Beef on Weck is meh, pretty bland and boring. We were a bit surprised and disappointed at how over hyped it was and honestly probably would not order again when back in Buffalo over other many delicious options there like wings, pizza, etc. And for the record, we love roast beef sandwiches, but even though we allegedly had one of the best at Bar-Bill, we just found it to be a let down. Buffalo had the best wings for sure, and a lot of other delicious food. However, the Beef on Weck would be like a 4 or 5 out of ten compared to many places here serving Roast Beef sandwiches that are 9’s and 10’s all day long.

Oh I agree...just was letting the OP know there is someone who does it he can take a look at

Kevin Kelley pretty much never punts, always goes for it on 4th down and won 9 Arkansas State Championships in 18 years. He also frequently onside kicks too. https://www.si.com/college/2021/05/21/kevin-kelley-high-school-never-punts-presbyterian

Why isnt Mahomes an MVP candidate? There are still several games left and Chiefs and Mahomes seem to be heating up and his stats are on par with all other candidates. Mahomes may not be the favorite today in terms of betting odds, but hes very much capable of still winning the MVP this year. There is no one with any kind of sizable lead on him. Allens place in the MVP race will be largely determined by this next game against the Pats and the Bucs game against the other top candidate in Brady. Allen wins both those games, he will start to pull away from Brady. However, if KC and Chiefs offense can keep rolling and they stack wins, Mahomes will still be in that convo himself.

This literally made me laugh out loud

I think this could be a factor. Not because the refs want to help the Pats though, but because we have done this to ourselves in way too many games this year. On both sides of the ball though. We kill drives and take points off the board with stupid things like false starts and holding as much or more as we give opponents more chances to score on defense by negating a 3rd down stop with dumb penalties. While some of those on both sides were atrocious calls by the refs, most were self inflicted. Bills being good is good for the NFL. They love the positive image of the Bills, it’s fans, Josh Allen, etc. I don’t believe for one second there will be a conspiracy biased to help the Pats beat the Bills from the Refs or NFL. Josh Allen is one of the most likable and marketable players to enter the NFL in years from an image side of things. They aren’t conspiring against him or the Bills. Except Wallace has played great this year. I have no clue where all this Wallace negativity comes from. It’s like none of you actually watch him play.

Not fact. I’m convinced you don’t know what the word “fact” actually means

Dude you are just being foolish now. So one data set INCLUDES 6 more games that IMPROVED Josh season end numbers...and the other does NOT. So you want to compare 11 games to 16 games instead of comparing where Josh was at the SAME time last year? You clearly do not understand statistical analysis to even the slightest. Or you do, and just want to cherry pick things that don't make sense because doing a FAIR and ACCURATE analysis doesn't prove your biased. You are literally the definition of confirmation bias. Where you search for data to support your biased view...and when its not there, you search for different data until you find something you hang your hat on. Bottom line, Josh is on par with last year through 11 games. Nothing you can say can change those FACTS.

Yeah I agree. IMHO I think we will decisively beat the Pats. Mac Jones isn’t playing as great as the media and people are making it out to be. He is just playing well enough to help them beat bad teams. He’s not going off for 300 yards and 3 TDs. But they have been playing teams mostly in a rut or who are bad and struggling to score. So he hasn’t had to do a lot for them to win those 6 games. The defense has been playing very good though for them, but again, they haven’t been tested I these 6 games by an offense like ours either. So I think it’s a bit like how dominant our D looked against lower competition earlier this year. My expectation is we will put up somewhere between 24 and 38 points while the Pats score somewhere between 9 and 20 points. Especially since we are getting Star, Spencer and Feliciano back this week. OL and run D should see a decent upgrade this week.

This is why it’s impossible for anyone to ever take you seriously around here. You intentionally manipulate data to force an agenda all the time. It’s literally like your thing. THROUGH 11 GAMES…Josh is BETTER in more categories than he is worse compared to last years 11 games at this same time…INCLUDING TD%. YOU KNOW THIS because several people have sent you the data. Yet here you are still pushing this childish bulls**t response of comparing Josh through 11 games this year to Josh full season last year which is NOT how you compare because one of the data sets is INCOMPLETE. Literally why your posts like this are most often a waste of time. Sad part is, if you would stop being such a trollish child about things like this all the time, you might be a decent poster. PS: You don’t have to manipulate and skew data to communicate a thought or opinion. You should try it sometime.

I don’t disagree about the butt whooping , but the Colts are not as good as we made them look through our own faults. We ourselves are the sole reason the game got away from us in the first half. And it literally boiled down to five plays where we gave the game away that first half and start of second half with dumb penalties, free unforced fumble, or dropped wide open pass. Point was, the losses were more on us than being overmatched by our opponents. If we play the Colts 10 times with Star and Edmunds active, I guarantee we win more games than we lose.
