Quick question: in how many of those games were the Bills favored? I’d suggest, without looking it up, that the answer is perhaps one or two, and most of the time the spread wasn’t close (i.e., greater than a 3-pt dog). When you’re a prohibitive underdog it’s because the team doesn’t have the talent or experience yet. Your repeated blurting out of this “record against winning teams” is not evidence of anything. Let’s see what happens when the Bills are favored (or pick’em) against winning teams, which will happen a lot this season, starting tomorrow.

Yes. This is the best thing to come out of the show, in my opinion. Peyton picking up on little things that take a good QB to the next level. It is clear that no matter who the analyst is, though, they are all “wowed” by some of Josh’s throws. There were a couple where Peyton was almost speechless. It’s a really good 20-minute watch. Edit: and I’m just going to add...if you don’t like Peyton Manning’s humor and charisma, combined with his knowledge, I don’t know what to say. The guy is absolutely awesome and would be amazing in the booth if he ever decides to go in that direction.

Your memory is off. The 2018 Jags were 3-7 when the also 3-7 Bills faced them. Sammy wasn’t on the Bills in 2017 when they beat KC. I think McD’s signature win was in Atlanta in 2017. That’s what injected real belief into this franchise.

For those of you who have ESPN+ this is a must watch. Peyton is great. Hopefully Josh watched this and got some tips. But it is awesome.

You have no idea what he has done off the football field.

What sort of run -- a 5K? That's nice -- is it for any particular charity?

This essentially means all three are playing. Great news.

Yeah, that goal line stand was disappointing. And then, after scoring to take a 24-20 lead, stopping Miami and getting the ball back so we could put the game away was disappointing as well. Against the Jets the defense was top notch. Against Miami they gave up short passes and played without two starting LBs. Go back and watch the replay -- Fitz was putting the ball in some tight windows. They've given up 30 points aside from two garbage time TDs when holding a double-digit lead. Some of you are pretty unrealistic with your expectations.

This is the paragraph I take issue with: For quarterbacks, the stats that tend to be stable over time include passing efficiency from a clean pocket, passing efficiency with no play-action, completion percentage over expected and the share of throws that are off target or negatively graded. Each of these aspects of a QB’s performance is indicative of their true skill and is less affected by circumstances and luck. Stats that aren’t predictive of future performance — and that tend to be highly affected by circumstances and luck — include passing under pressure, passing outside the pocket and passing efficiency with play-action. In what world does a QB get to operate without pressure or stay purely in the pocket? And play-action is specifically designed to make a QB more successful. The author says that because Josh is performing well in these "non-predictive" areas we shouldn't count on his improvement to continue? That makes no sense to me.

Since you posted it here, I know the name now. So thanks.

Motor is going to EAT this week!

This is a very good test for the Bills’ D which is hopefully getting at least one of Milano/Edmunds back. Also, we see if Daboll can continue his excellent game planning and keep the offense on pace. How will Josh come out in his first game following a breakout passing performance? The Bills certainly don’t overlook teams, and I think the Rams’ win against Philly exposed a bad Eagles’ squad rather than pronouncing LA as a heavyweight. The talent level across the board favors Buffalo and even without fans, it’s their home environment. Prediction: the offense keeps humming and the D bounces back in a big way. Bills 34 Ewes 13

Gene, I suggest a healthy dose of perspective here. Injury reports have been and always will be a form of gamesmanship in professional sports. The margins are so slim in the NFL; it’s true that any advantage gained could make the difference between winning and losing. As fans we want to know every detail but we have no basis for demanding it. Also, the NFL has in recent years been much more strict on insisting that teams put players on the injury report when they don’t participate fully in practice. The way McD and the Bills handle the injury report has absolutely nothing to do with “arrogance.”

So does this mean his name is removed from the 2020 Whipping Boy list? I’m trying to keep up with everything.

Oh, he sounds like an incredibly good dude. I’m talking about the mental sharpness...

I don’t know why you’re complaining. After all, Bruce Gradkowski reviews all of the QB ratings. 🤦🏻‍♂️ If you’ve ever heard Bruce Gradkowski on the radio you know why this not a compliment.

Seriously. Methinks FO doth protest too much.

I like it but I’d tweak: Charges Dropped, Kraft Enjoys Full Release

Wasn’t Milano’s deal a leg injury? Gotta think that him being out there both yesterday and today bodes well for Sunday.

PFF downgraded the pass to a -2 because Josh didn’t throw from a good base. Shows footwork hasn’t improved.

This is pretty typical for someone of your intelligence level. At least you didn’t physically threaten me this time, so maybe there’s hope.

Yup. When he is moving to his left he doesn't square his shoulders, resulting in these misfires. You'd have to think it's something they are aware of and another coaching emphasis point.

Gotta get the papers, get the papers.
