  1. Buffalo led the league with a 5.3 per rush attempt wich is an indication the RB's despite being a run 1st O had plenty of room to roam. I find this to be true, Taylor deserves credit for calling, participating in and opening up space for the run game in my humble opinion. Go eat a cough drop,
  2. Looks like we're in a very small minority mead107
  3. We haven't had a good one in so long what the heck right?
  4. Look at it this way, these are not accurate numbers, but lets say by design Taylor made 200 pass attempts throughout the season and every other QB in the league threw by design 300 pass attempts or more. Do you see why it would be useless to use low totals as a knock againt Taylor in a QB evaluation when the OC/HC made the determination they were going to run the football more then any other team in the league. High yardage totals with a high INT totals is also another thing fans need to take into consideration. How many yards, change of field position and points did the INT cost you? if you calculated it all up you might find out 200 yards passing and zero turnovers is better then 300yards passing and 1 or 2 INT's. One stat or yardage total doesn't give you enough information...
  5. I'm only speculating, but it appears McDermott may not have used much help from the Bills scouting department or GM in determing how the 2017 draft was carried out. If the draft itself turns out to be one of the better Bills drafts in recent history, what does that tell you?
  6. why would I want to trade a QB that has proven he can play starting QB in the NFL for a rookie?
  7. Happy B-Day jw, Have a great day buddy.
  8. I thought HC McD taking time out to visit with the leaders of the team that went to 4 straight superbowls showed just how far McD is willing to go in search of a Champion. The attention to detail, the demand for respect, the high priority in obtaining players of good character, all very Marv Levy like in my humble opinion. but is McD as good in the X's and O's department is the question...
  9. To get the most out of raw data its important to understand how misleading some of it can be in my humble opinion transplantbillsfan. Rochester brought up an important point I think in evaluating QB's and I believe it goes hand in hand with how well a signal caller is seeing the football field. Scoring how well a QB can determine the most lucrative place to go with the football would show you what QB is playing at the highest level IMO. Eye test tells me Matt Ryan is probably near or on the top of the list (2016) when it comes to attacking the football field with big play capabilities IMO. (Julio Jones might have something to do with it.) Myself personally, I've grown to trust Rochesterfans opinions/post because of how much thought and research goes into them. I'm not saying he's always correct...
  10. You guys are making it very interesting, thanks
  11. Some data can be misleading , especially when totals come into play. Buffalo having the lowest YAC total in the league for example is a product of the lowest overall pass attempts in the league. Even averages can be misleading because 2 or 3 more big YAC plays is all it takes to put the Bills in closer proximity to league average. So naturally throwing the ball more would in all likelihood put the Bills higher up in most statistical categories IMO.
  12. Peterman was the most pro ready QB in the draft joining a team installing a new system. I'm just saying...
  13. Its the 2nd season fans should be more concerned with in my humble opinion jc
  14. Big Taylor fan, but I'm not making excuses for him. Tyrod Taylor has to start seeing more of the football field/ open receivers. Or Peterman is going to take his job...
  15. Something caused the succession of bad plays. Lacking endurance, getting out coached, getting out played by superior players, maybe a combination. You brought up confidence, wouldn't it be more descriptive to say one team is gaining or losing confidence then momentum? Momentum change is a lazy way to describe what really happened in my humble opinion Lothar. with all due respect...
  16. Did the Falcons lose momentum in the second half of the Superbowl, or did superior coaching make the better adjustments?
  17. Coach McD does sound catchy and it would not surprise me If this becomes the players favorite nickname
  18. Couple throws looked like he had some zip on the ball , but its hard to use good mechanics throwing off your back foot or on the run 90% of the time. kids a gamer, looks like he sees the field well under pressure, I like him/chances
  19. Is it just me or is Peterman playing with zero pass protection in this game?
  20. maybe the football gods wanted to prepare us?
  21. I'm not making any bold prediction, but is it possible Russ Brandons days could be numbered?
  22. I'm about as optimistic as I can be under the circumstances.
