Fun fact about Justin Bieber...
My son goes to same high school that Bieber went to. They have a wall of fame to celebrate former students and teachers and Bieber is not on the wall.
True story.

I don't know if you're purposely being obtuse or if you just don't understand my point. We are 12th in the league in yards per game and we're 26th in points per game. That's because we aren't finishing drives.
I guess I was accidentally obtuse. My point was that when we make it to the red zone, we finish drives better than most teams in the league, which I think is really positive. The red zone is more challenging on offenses where everything is tighter, so I am encouraged by this stat.
I completely agree with you that we haven't generated the points that we should have with how well we've moved the ball this year. I feel that our offense is better than our points per game would indicate. Josh's hero ball tendancies have turned the ball over too much and resulted in 20-yard sacks when we were already in field goal range. I think Josh will make fewer of these mistakes in the second half of the season.

They need to improve at finishing drives. Until I see more consistency there I'm going to be a little skeptical.
We can finish drives, as we are third in red zone offense and we've done quite well when the field is short. Our issue has been turnovers and sacks that push us out of field goal range. These will both improve as Josh eliminates some of the mistakes that have hurt him in three of the first five games this season.

The "encroachment" call in the red zone made me a bit more furious to be honest.
Me too.

Am I just paying closer attention, or does Beane cycle players through the practice squad more than most?

Yeldon, Dawkins, Ford are my top 3 guesses
It does feel like Ford is trending this way. It feels like he's the one guy on this team who hasn't really earned the reps he's been given. I didn't see any drop off in play when Bates came in to take his place.

Webb or Williams are the only choices IMO.
Hope it’s the Duke but won’t be surprised by Webb.
I really want JA cleared .
This sums it up perfectly.

I find our offense rank in the top-ten interesting. We've moved the ball efficiently to pick up yards, but have turned the ball over too much and given up sacks at the edge of field goal range costing us points.
Josh has been effective most of the time, but his mistakes have been costly on the scoreboard. I think he figures it out sooner rather than later.

Yet Jarvis Landry was cleared today and he had not practiced all week.
Step 5 - Full Football Activity / Clearance
Upon clearance by the team Physician for full football activity involving contact, the player must be examined by the independent Neurological Consultant (INC) assigned to his club. If the INC concurs with the team physician that the player's concussion has resolved, he may participate in his club's next practice or game.
I'm not sure how Landry was cleared, based on the chart above. Without practicing, he somehow met the requirements of Football Specific Activities and Full Football Activity. I need someone smarter than me to figure this out.

That's doesn't make any sense? I thought a player could not participate in full practices unless they were cleared?
The final stage of the protocol is regular practice activity, followed by an assessment. Josh will be assessed tomorrow for concussion symptoms, following today's activities. If he has no concussion symptoms, then he will be cleared to play.

Pretty confident bunch at the Titans board, with 60% predicting a Titans win by a TD or more. Only 17% think the Bills win.
My opinion, since you asked...
This will be a low-scoring game, with neither team posting more than 20 points. Both defenses are solid in this one. Josh plays (I think) and learns from his mistakes a week ago and protects the ball.
Bills 17
Titans 13

Tuhrod was famous for 4th Q ratings .... problem was, TT could hardly ever win a game, be it tied or behind in the middle of the 4th
Just now, NoHuddleKelly12 said:Big difference between padding stats in the 4th as garbage time versus being crunch-time, as we’ve seen time after time now with Josh.
Tuhrod did have a knack for padding his stats in garbage time, didn’t he.

Knox is getting used to send a message to the rest of the league that there is a new rule being enforced.
This is completely unfair to Knox.
-
When teams lose games like this one, they lose the opportunity to play in must win games later in the year.
Wins in September count the same in the standings as the wins in December.
I love the 1-0 mentality every week.

Oddly for us, even the QB. I wasn't a Barkley fan but the dude has played well in his spots.
I agree. If Barkley has to play on Sunday, we could still walk away with a win.

As of two years ago, Brady had landed on the injury report 186 times. Nothing to see here.

Both Knox and Sweeney have proven to be capable when on the field. We haven't even had the chance to see Kroft yet, so I don't know what we're missing.
This is when the depth that Beane has acquired and McDermott has developed really pays off. We can lose almost any starter on the team now and the next man up will be capable.

I am enjoying the improvement of our team, I really am, but this shift from expecting to lose to expecting to win feels very foreign to me.
When I expect a loss, either:
a) We lose as expected, or
b) We win and I'm really happy
When I expect a win, either:
a) We win as expected, or
b) We lose and I'm really upset
My state of indifference on Sunday afternoons is coming to an end and I am more invested than I've been in a long time. Just like we used to win games we weren't supposed to win in the past, we will lose games that we aren't supposed to lose - hopefully not this Sunday.
Thank you, therapists of TSW, for letting me express my feelings as I come to terms with a shifting reality.

This is one of my favorite part about Josh. That said, I would rather we didnt end up in 3rd downs.
If our future complaint is that we aren't good enough because it takes three downs to get a first, we are making progress.

It's nice having a QB who throws past the sticks on third down. Trent, EJ and Tyrod drove me crazy with their 3rd down checkdowns.

Fun Fact about Josh Allen
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted
Born and raised... but no one I know says “eh”. I think it’s more of an east coast thing.
