So what? We have him and he played great. What the hell is wrong with some people around here?

Defense woke up in the second half

How can they call that play again?

Now, let Josh be Josh

Score here and make them throw. And sack up on D!!

All right. Now the D has to man up and quit getting pushed around

Why do some people insist on being negative?

I see. We differ in the word need. I need to see them win. I would like to see them free up Josh so he can play the first three quarters the way he plays the fourth quarter.

You need to see that? Need? What if he has that and they lose? Need? That’s just too self-absorbed for me, I guess. I just want my team to win.

Winning is the only thing that matters. Get to 6-2. I’d like to see them free up Josh more, but let’s say Daboll sees they are weak against the run, kind of like Philly saw against us last week. It would be coaching malpractice to not run Gore and Singletary and take advantage of the mismatch. This obsession with Josh reaching some magic yardage is out of control. It used to be completion percentage of over 60% and now since that is answered we have to have a new bone to gnaw on. To the point that a poster this week literally said he’d rather the team lose so long as there’s 300 yards passing. win the game.

Because everyone here goes to every practice and knows how every player is progressing. Peko didn’t perform well so a change is made. That’s part of process.

Ok boys, let’s matriculate the ball down the gield

The team needs to win the game

The process is not a marketing gimmick. I can think of no successful organizations that don’t have successful processes. Brandon I’m sure had influence on hiring McD. Pegula made the call. And his call got the team into the playoffs for the first time in 17 years. It got him a GM that has gotten us into a favorable cap situation, and drafted what we hope will be our franchise QB. And between them a team that currently is 5-2.

So everyone in the organization said. Old news. SoTier wants to keep saying the Bills have not changed for 20 years, that all Terry wants is money so they don’t pay for FAs etc. Please tell me you understand that we have new owners, coaches, GM etc, etc.

Not to sidetrack bu Brandon was put in charge of PSE. He thus was not making player decisions. Harping on that is tired by now.

As for the poster to whom I referred, that Terry and Ralph are the same. That the 2001 Bills are the same as the 2019 Bills. That Brandon has anything to do with today’s team. And so on.

I have no problem being critical. But criticism should be based in some form of reality.

Well, Edmunds was defensive player of the week last game last season.

I mentioned that Brandon is no longer an employee because SoTier is like a dog with a chew toy trying to lump him in with the current regime, just like he lumps Ralph and Terry together for some bizarre reason. McD and Beane are setting the team up the way they see fit. We’ll see if they’re right.

It sure isn’t Winston

See Joe’s response above. I still would like Sammy. But Woods wanted to be back in Cali and Gilmore has a shot to play for Belichick.

You're an actuary. That should mean you understand statistics. What statistical test have you used to show that this data has any statistical validity? You do this every day, right? does your data mean anything from a statistical perspective?

Good. What then do you take away from the data mined by the OP? What is the question you would pose based on that? What would your null hypothesis be? What sample size would you need to disprove the null hypothesis? What statistical methodology would you use? Billsfan1972, same question. What exactly do you think the data set provided by the OP tells you, and based on what kind of statistical methodology? The thing is, if you look at the OP's stuff, which again I commend, he is largely talking about a QB having a single 300 yard game in a certain amount of time, starts, etc. As individuals well versed in stats as you claim, would you not agree that basing a statistical argument on a variable that includes an N = 1 is kind of dicey?

Serious question. What is your background in statistics? I have graduate level training in stats, so if you have something similar it would be interesting to have a real, true discussion about the use and misuse of statistics when looking at NFL data. The OP, again, should be commended for pulling the data out that he pulled. but even he said it should not be used in a predictive sense.
