  1. Philadephia: 248 yards total offense. New England: 424yards total offense.

     

    Philadephia: total of 58 plays in 25:44 of possession. New England: 86 plays in 34:16 of possession.

     

    Philadelphia: 2 passing TDs, no rushing TDs. New England: 3 passing TDs 1 rushing TD

     

     

    Flukey game. No clear evidence of a striking Philadephia revival. Of course, the Bills haven't proven themselves to be dominant and will have to fight for every win.

  2. I didn't see the second half today, but here are some of Tyrod's statistical rankings among all NFL QBs:

     

    Completion percentage: 4th (67.9)

    Yards per attempt: 7th (7.87)

    Interceptions thrown: tied for second lowest among starters, with 4 all year

    QB rating: 5th (100.9)

    Rushing: Couldn't find rankings, but I think we can agree he's pretty good

     

    Yes, the jury's still out on whether he will be a franchise QB, but I'd say he's doing well for his first year as a starter.

  3. I am certainly not an expert but the slip in performance with essentially the same personnel speaks for itself. At the same time, the Bills have faced some teams with excellent QB's and offensive firepower. The league wants ball movement and scoring. Look at the ticky tacky PI calls. I guess they are being consistently called but the job of DB in this league has been made significantly harder as a result of the rules and enforcement. .

     

    Agreed. Largely the same personnel excelled under Pettine. Then they had to change systems under Schwartz and got even better that same year. This year, with a stronger secondary, they have regressed significantly to the middle of the pack in points and yards per game. And of course, sacks have plummeted. It is true that the league is making it hard on DBs, but every team faces that, and comparatively we have regressed.

  4. I've Got You Under My Skin

     

    Frank Sinatra

     

    I'd sacrifice anything come what might
    For the sake of having you near
    In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
    And repeats, repeats in my ear
    Don't you know little fool
    You never can win
    Use your mentality, wake up to reality
    But each time I do just the thought of you
    Makes me stop before I begin
    Because I've got you under my skin

  5. I have heard that some people use a VPN to route their Internet connection through European servers, thus enabling them to purchase NFL Game Pass. I understand that this enables them to see all of the Bills games (except hypothetical post-season contests) live and in archived/condensed form for $99 per year. I, of course, have no personal experience with this, as I imagine it probably is not what the NFL has in mind in offering this fine service only to out-of-country fans.
