    Today is the day! The Peterman era has begun. Ladies and gentleman, I draw your attention to the only quarterback on the Bills roster and therefore, the de facto starter. The train is ready to leave the station, but there is still plenty of room on board! #DON'TSLEEPONNATE. Who's with me?

    Put the bottle down...

    Well, on paper, it could roll that way. 

    On paper, the Jags have the #2 D and the #5 O in the league.  #1 rushing attack, #21 passing attack, something like that.  That's based upon points.

    The Bills have the #18D and the #22 O in the league, #4 rushing attack, #31 passing attack.

     

    One needs to factor strength-of-schedule in there somewhere.  The Jags prowl in the AFC south.  If they played in the NFC south, they'd be sitting on sofas right now.

    They got to beat up 2x on the poor hapless Texans, starting Savage and Yates at QB.  They got to beat up 2x on the Brissett-led Colts and 1x on the Browns.

    Notable wins: Ravens, Steelers, Chargers

    Notable losses: Jets, Titans (2x) and 49ers

     

    Bills get to be whumped by the Patriots 2x a year and the Dolphins and Jets are IMO both better teams than the depleted Texans and Colts the Jags faced 2x.

     

    Notable losses: Jets (2nd time), Saints, and Chargers.

    Notable wins: Jets (1st time), Falcons, and Chiefs

     

    Bottom line: I'm not so clear that the Jags are as good as their ranking suggests, nor that the Bills (assuming the N'Orleans or Chargers versions don't show) are as bad as their ranking suggests.  A lot of the reason the Bills D looks so bad is getting gashed by NE 2x, N'Orleans, and the Chargers.  A lot of the reason the Jags D looks so good is shutting down the Colts, Texans (both 2x) and Browns.

     

    BUT - the Jags did beat the Bengals, holding them to 148 yds total offense, and also beat the Chargers.  We got gashed by the Bengals for 348 yds and I really don't want to revisit the Chargers game.  So against common opponents, it does look as though the Jags have a strong edge.  Except then there's the Jets, who hung NE-like numbers on the Jags.

    Read this and tell me Cousins is not worth the cash risk at the position that matters most...

    Since replacing Griffin to start the 2015 season, Cousins ranks third among qualifying NFL quarterbacks in completion percentage (67.0) and sixth in passer rating (97.5) -- rivaling two-time MVP Aaron Rodgers in both categories. Over that 48-game sample size, he also ranks an impressive fifth in adjusted net yards per attempt, a discerning metric that rewards a strong touchdown-to-interception ratio and punishes sacks taken. Cousins is just the 11th quarterback in history to reach the 4,000-yard passing mark in three consecutive seasons, joining a host of current and future Hall of Famers.

    The key to understanding the ever-polarizing quarterback's value lies in his Tom Brady-like devotion -- bordering on obsession -- to polishing his skill set and phasing out weaknesses in his game.

    After falling prey to Cousins' audibles, awareness and quick release in that Christmas Eve clash, All-Pro pass rusher Von Miller was left wowed.

    "Kirk is a great quarterback. I'll say that every day of the week," Miller raved. "A lot of teams would ... literally kill to have a quarterback like that. The list [of Cousins suitors] is long. We'll cross that bridge if we ever get to it."

  4. My first post, since the restart.

    I am so happy and happy for all of you.

    Later that night (after the games). I will admit I watched the players and fans reactions and had a few tears rip as the weight of the years of futility, loyalty and finally a release the Bills got all the breaks one time. It was like the sun finally shone through the darkest of clouds that we had begun to think would never clear. 17 years. That is insane and it is finally over.

     

    And to all of us, who stayed the course. I say BRAVO.

     

    GO BILLS!!!
