Bleeding Bills Blue

Yeah - what are the numbers for % of wins with QBs over 300 yards? Im pretty sure its about the same as the % of wins with QBs under 300 yards. Whatever happened in the 4th quarter was just a disaster in general. Starting off a garbage time drive with 2 false starts in your own house was the icing on the cake It really came down to that drive in the 4th quarter. We got whooped on a 14 play drive for 83 yards that put the game out of reach both clock-wise and score-wise. That's not ideal.

The Shaq lawson sack was basically all star as well. The LBs struggled to shed blocks all day in the screen game and run game. They barely attacked us in the air.

And when you look at what was accomplished in the pass game? Screens did most of the damage, and they caught us in man coverage on the bigger screen plays.

I mean it's all click-bait too. We want them to trade for X, but just because someone said he's available doesn't mean he is.

Ah - i thought we were looking at him instead of marrone.

Sacks are high, which happens with rookies. Teams blitz them or fake blitz them pretty much the whole game til they show they can beat it.

Didn't we almost get that guy to be head coach back in the day?

Yeah... He's not available. The one that was we looked into... And he kind of went insane

That's what I mean... Is Edelman a 1? Or kupp? What about Godwin or juju? Keenan Allen? Tyler lockett?

What is a true #1 WR?

I say no for a few reasons 1 - Him and the GM are a package deal 2 - Year 1 was a full tear down, year 2 was somewhat building it back up... but the cap is in a much better situation so you don't lose players for nothing and can start getting comp picks again 3 - I'm sick of the hire and fire every 3-5 years or whatever. I'm not saying extend him and marvin lewis this guy for 25 years... but they're seemingly better than they have been in the last like 25 years. If they can consistently be that? I wouldn't break it up right away Then you have to consider that NFL teams are hiring guys like Kingsbury, Taylor, and Gase. I suppose if you had like, some candidate in mind sure? But its usually retreads and mcvays friends which means you aren't likely upgrading. You're just getting an "offensive minded" guy, who is probably in over his head.

They had the big run, but mostly it was linemen tackling downfield because they had blocked our linebackers. There were several big negative runs too, that's how noticable the struggles were on like every other play

It was pouring rain and windy... Not exactly good conditions for throwing. This was a trenches game and we got beat on both sides, simple as that.

On a day when it's windy and rainy... I can't expect a young QB to execute and carry the team. Gotta run the ball well. They did, we didn't.

What is this Madden?!

sometimes its as simple as turning a guy into your gap so the hole isn't really there... its that kind of thing that will never show up on stat sheets. Or working into a double team that creates a tougher blitz pick-up for a guard or something. Its all complementary. I have no idea if he's doing it well because i don't want to sit down and watch running plays from the POV of the guy lining up between the center and guard.

I mean - at least he pointed to the things Allen does wrong. He didn't just say "he's inaccurate", he legit said he's made quite a few poor decisions this year which is true. He's showed improved decision making a bit more the last couple of weeks - they really need to focus on getting TDs this week to make mainstream media recognize them.

It's supposed to be a good draft for WRs, but it's a position that takes time to develop. Some guys are forced to step in right away, but buffalo seems to prefer to make u earn playing time.

Yes - but we're all homers. The bills are a confusing team though. They are good enough to play with anyone and theoretically beat them. They also can find ways to fail.

They also do a lot of wonky stuff in blow outs to throw off charting. Runs with James white out of certain formations, play actions in blow outs - stuff that makes the % off ever so slightly.

Confident, not like jilted i guess? I dunno rosen came off very sour grapes on what should be the like big day of ur career.

Rosen came out firing after the draft like everyone ahead of them made mistakes. LJ just said I'm happy to be drafted and prepared for football season.

I mean im looking at the 85 bears.. there's some big signature wins over montana, theisman, phil simms. The only loss was by Dan Marino. But they also shut out the falcons led by David Archer and Bob Holly... Put a hurting on that pesky Eric Hipple. Mike Pagel and the colts... There were some great games, but they also played some pretty crappy offenses. Looking at the 2000 Ravens - same kind of thing. Shut out tim couch, Kent Graham, Scott Mitchells Bengals. Held Ryan leaf to 3 points.. you get the point. Great defenses beat up bad offenses. What would put the patriots in the conversation is keeping it up against better competition, and winning a championship.

Through 7 games they have a top whatever defense of all time. That means nothing as they must play 9 more games. If they continue to terrorize everyone they play, they very rightfully should be placed in that conversation.

Does it have to be different penalties? Maybe gase watched the game and clock and was like... thank you...
