So depending on the day, PFF is either garbage or gospel, depending on what point someone is trying to make?
Agreed it can argued depending on the point .. but at the end of the day ... It's basically number crunching ... at least there's a relevancy to actual football based data.

To quote the infamous Aaron Rodgers ... R-E-L-A-X ... rated 12th among 70 linebacker .. I'll take it.

8. LB Tremaine Edmunds, Buffalo Bills
At the time that Edmunds was drafted, he was just 19 years old. That youth and inexperience showed early in his career, as he stumbled out of the gate with a 47.0 overall grade across his first eight career games. As the season progressed, though, his athleticism and playmaking ability in the middle of the Buffalo defense began to make it apparent that improvement was on the way. Edmunds did, in fact, improve his grade to 70.5 over the second half of the season, and he has carried over that improved play into 2019. His overall grade of 71.1 this season ranks 12th among 70 linebackers with 175 or more defensive snaps, anchoring one of the better defenses in the league.
and for those Vander Esch Lovers
Lastly, Vander Esch has recorded a run-defense grade of 44.4 this season while allowing 243 receiving yards as the primary coverage defender.

Agreed with OP. The other frustrating thing vs. last year is it appears he is not staying in the pocket and stepping in and throwing it. I was hopeful with Morse, Spain, & Feliciano that the pocket would be there moreso than last year's crew. Have the tackles push the defenders wide and deep and step in and chuck it. The other thing is where are the TE posts plays?

As the article states .. granted not scoring a ton of points but 11 TD's for 16 trips inside the 20 yard line .. a 68% Clip.

Still pretty impressive when we do get inside the 20 ... Let's go Buffalo!!!

The Bills were losing when I was in the Family room watching the game.
I went to the Man Cave Basement in the 2nd half to change the mojo ... so can you thank me for the win as well?

This is a big deal for the Bills. The Rams will be forced to make him the highest paid cornerback. Tre will expect similar.
The good news is at least Tre has class vs. this bum ... can't believe what the Rams gave up to acquire this headache.

Just read Sal's article from vacation and his last bullet is priceless. Not just the back end pics for purposes of moving all around in the draft upcoming 2 drafts, but the cap space. This season has been a pleasant surprise thus far and look forward to continued success, but the great thing about this regime under Beane, is he has the board set for a productive future between draft picks and cap space for 2020 and 2021.

- The Bills traded wide receiver Zay Jones to Oakland for a fifth round pick last week. After that deal, here’s how their future draft pick and salary cap situations look. Fans should feel good about the foundation that’s been laid, with the assets and capital going forward:
2020: 1,2,3,4,5,5,6,6,6.
2021: 1,2,3,4,5,5,6,7,7.(The extra 7th round pick in 2021 is from Carolina for Marshall Newhouse, assuming conditions were met, but has not been confirmed).
They also have an estimated $89 million in available salary cap space next year, according to the website Sportrac.

Here is the problem. You left out what the "Goat" did in the weeks prior to week 5 vs MIA. In week 1 it was 300 yds and 3 tds. In week 3 it was 400 yds and 4 tds. He had been throwing for at least 270 yds each game and completing 70% of his passes.
Going back to final game last year against Miami (and not including last week's Pats game) ... Josh is completing 64% of passes .. he has 6 TD's 4 INT's (and these TD's are horrid looking vs. throwing the ball away) .. but also 4 Rushing TD's. So that's 10 TDs vs.
The Bills won ... all 4 games (quality of opponents aside) ... the Pats had not given up an offensive TD all season .. Josh came out in the 2nd half and drove the team right down and scored.
Again my point is I'll take Wyoming Josh and no I have not started lost faith as the Op asks.
-
Did anyone listen to the Buffalo Beat podcast by Joe B & Matt F .. and let me be clear I typically like listening (net of the cheesy awards at end of the show) ... but holy cow .. "Wyoming Josh" references .. another overreaction. They claim "Wyoming Josh" is bad. My thoughts are if Josh wasn't playing for Wyoming (only team to give him scholarship) . .he doesn't end up a top 10 pick for us. He showed examples of traits there that had many teams grading him as high as they did.
Yes he sucked last week .. but easy its game 15. Check out the Goat's stat lines from weeks 5-8 on 2002 .. his 2nd year as starter. Wow .. what would of happened had they lost faith back in 2002 ... to quote Mr. Rodgers ... R - E - L - A - X ... I'll take 3-1 and I'll also take only one loss since December 24th ... by my count that's almost 10 months.

Uhm what? It is kinda hard to orchestrate any comeback while sitting on the bench ?
Other than that I agree with your post.
OK . .probably wrong data point .. how about this one .. Tyrod Bill's starts 46 ... Josh 15 .. same # of 4th Quarter comebacks - 4

Let me be clear .. I thought the Jones pick would be great .. having watched him at ECU (my daughter goes there) and all time FBS reception leader ... well I was wrong.
The link below shows he's the worse in catch % for the year and he was bottom 20 last year ... enough is enough. The lack of going for the ball vs. the two interceptions last week confirmed it for me. The WR should have a better idea of ball location than the DB. Rather see Foster or the Duke at this stage. He has been given sufficient time .. he's a role player as Joe B said .. not a game changer.

Thing is, he hasn't had a good game all year. Yeah he's had flashes and led comebacks that he created the need for with sloppy ball handling, but overall, he's not much better than last year and thats not good.
Kind of disagree ... opponents aside he had 63% plus completion percentage in first three games .. much better than last year's performance (net of last game of season vs. Miami). Also, I rank QBs to a certain degree by 4th quarter comebacks (regardless if he was cause of the need to come back) ... that was my major issue with Tyrod ... he couldn't do it (4 in his 8 year career) and Josh has 4 already in 15 games. At the end of the day its about "W's" and right wrong or indifferent Josh has led winning drives in 2019 ... I'll take that.
-
He looked 26 years old yesterday vs 36 years old ... privilege for the Bills to be on his player resume and so glad he crossed 15,000 yards as a Buffalo Bill .. that 40+ yard run and bouncing off defenders made Dawson Knox envious. Congrats Frank .. you ROCK!! Haven't loved a Bills RB Banger since Freddy Jax.
-
Let me be clear .. he played bad yesterday .. that said .. lost faith .. ABSOLUTELY NOT
There are way too many positives than negatives with Josh.
He has one glaring mental weakness ... he can't throw the ball away .. he tries to extend plays too far, takes hits he shouldn't and then heaves a jump ball in play.
Though I'm not a fan of the new back footed throwing technique he showed yesterday repeatedly .. last year (after mid year) he hung in the pocket more ... not seeing that this year.
That said ... net of a blocked punt (not Josh's fault) and to play as bad as he did and be that close .. the team is vastly improved and Josh is a part of that.
3-1 ... equates to 12-4 if same performance

Retribution Rick Rock'ed it ... Brady if played in 80's = Gary Hogeboom .. nice comparison

These guys are better than last year already, and they will get better as the season goes on.
That said, they are not even close to the Electric Company. Maybe one position out of the five is at that level yet.
Bob, I understand your take historically speaking ... that said compared to the 2018 OL roster ... and I prefaced in my commentary about "jumping the shark" . .but think we agree the current crew blows away or dare I say "Lights up" last year's crew.
Dion Dawkins, Vladimir Ducasse, John Miller, Jordan Mills, Ryan Groy, Marshall Newhouse, Russell Bodine, Wyatt Teller, Conor McDermott
-
Granted only two games and not trying to jump the shark, but WOW what a difference vs. the 2018 crew.
- Fun it is to watch an OL with attitude.
- Feliciano is a beast, that dude finishes blocks
- Morse pulling and leading sweeps
- Ford's attitude (don't mind the 15 yarders in the short term)
- The reaction to the NYG's Offside
- Hell even Dawson Knox is joining the party knocking out two defenders on Motor's TD run
- Pass protection that is allowing Josh to hit progressions
- Thank you Mr. Beane for the signings in the offseason.

I typically listen to 2
Locked on Bills is good work by Marino ... has a lot of energy on all segments and virtually daily content
Joe B and Matthew Fairburn on the Buffalo Beat is another .. though not as much energy style wise as Marino .. more dry delivery .. and the awards they do (Come on Darlene, etc.) are kind of weak
But given week 1 .. I also pulled in Buffalo Rumblings was surprised .. as it seemed to have some very poor production/sound this past week .. sounded like was on 2 cups and a string in terms of audio.

Blls are one of the older teams in the league by average age. Only 6 teams are older.
https://www.phillyvoice.com/ranking-nfl-teams-age-after-53-man-cutdowns-2019-edition/
But that's heavily influenced by Gore (age 62) and LoMax (age 46) .. net those two and their cryogenics gene pool .. we might be top 10 in youth
-
Guess TE's play a lot of punt coverage
-
Captain Obvious here .. the Singletary pick was writing on the wall as well as Yeldon and Gore signings.
Think with the youth movement and his off the field items and declining performance/cap hit .. "the process moved" another piece of the Ryan/Whaley regime out the door.
-
Once again accumulating draft capital to move up draft boards in 2020 .. TRUST THE PROCESS
-
Stocking up on picks go draft a new punter in 2020 .. these later round pics .. will help us corner the market on special team help .. McBeane .. GENIUS!!
Predict the rest of the season

I am usually all RAH RAH Bills .. but also a little frustrated with the last 3 games ... granted 2-1. But against teams with a combined 7-19 records after this week.
When you are within 1 TD & 2pt conversion at home to a rookie QB and a 1 win team at the start of the 4th Quarter (who hasn't scored a TD since Oct 13th) and have to come back in the 2nd half to beat a winless team at home (Dolphins) ... unfortunately all the W's listed net of Jets and Dolphins are coin flips at best, especially with 5 of the 8 on the road. So unfortunately and I truly hate to say this .. but 8-8 is not too far out of the realm of possibility given our lackluster offense and the latest run defense being gashed (see yesterday .. one of the worse OL's in the league provided a 100 yard rusher in the 1st half) with runners like Chubb, Lindsay, Zeke, (Ingram & Jackson) forthcoming.
