    I hear ya.  The only issue is tanking is great when you need a QB.  You tank to get an Andrew luck.  But now we have Allen.  So what are we tanking for now?  Bosa...Oliver...an olinemen?  Trading down? Tanking just isnt very exciting unless your doing it to get a top QB.  That's just my opinion.

     

    Hopefully they go out and get a top QB, instead of the 6th best one in the draft like they did last year.

  2. Derek Anderson has 0 TDs and 4 INTs in two full games. At least Peterman threw a TD this season...

    Unbelievable we are in this position. Is the season already done? Are we already looking to next year? 

     

    What has has happened to our team? 

     

    Of course the season is over. It was over weeks ago. We arent going undefeated the rest of the way to back in 10-6.

    I don’t understand why folks keep bringing up wanting to get Foles. He has clearly stated routinely that he’ll retire if the Eagles trade him. He’s in his last spot of his career with a coach he admires.

    Must be that some people only casually follow the NFL..

     

    Yeah, there's a zero percent chance that he doesn't go chase a $20 million a year contact after his is up. Spoiler: it won't be with the eagles

    Peterman has the same future as Anderson has at this point in his career, none. He is simply a warm body holding a roster spot, but at least Anderson  has experience that he can pass on to Allen.

     

    And no Anderson is an improvement over Peterman. At least Aneerson has played in a full NFL regular season game

    I doubt this is Peterman's last NFL season, so that's more future than Anderson.

  5. Look, I'm done with Peterman, but Anderson is no better at this point in his career. We all should have seen that last week.

     

    All things being equal, I'd rather they start a 24 year old that still might have some sort of future than a 35 year old that's barely had a past.

    This is a take you hear all the time; it’s treated like gospel - when facing a great QB, you should run the ball, control the clock and thus keep that great QB on the sideline. None of the “experts” who offer this advice ever bother to check just how successful that recommended strategy is. Why bother, it’s common sense right? Well analytics have reviewed this entire concept and discovered that this strategy is an overwhelming failure. The Buffalo Bills, ever oblivious to analytics, employed this very strategy when playing the Pats last year. Predictably ( if you bother to familiarize yourself with facts) they weren’t even competitive against the Pats last year - two losses by 20+ points each game. Well an “expert” would say, you have a very limited QB and u can’t go toe to toe with Brady blah blah blah. Well there was a team that faced this same situation- the Eagles last year heading into the Super Bowl. They had a very limited (backup) QB but a great defense, a defense far more talented than the Bills D. Experts would advise - play great D, run ball, control clock, keep Brady off the field. But Philly head coach Pederson does pay attention to analytics, and did just the opposite. His great & talented defense did not force the Pats to punt once during this game. A run first, ball/clock control offense would have been a disaster, as it was for the Bills last year and in many years past. Philadelphia won by paying attention to analytics. 

    Whatever offensive philosophy Bills adopt tomorrow they will most likely lose. But a loss is guaranteed if they stick to what has been a miserable failure last year, and what analytics has shown to be a miserable failure overall. And I am confident that the Bills will stick to this formula that has never succeeded for them, and never will. Why base your decisions on evidence, when your “gut” tells you different. 

    There may be a a day when Bills pay attention to analytics, but many losses will happen before that. Tomorrow night will be a disaster.

     

    People need to stop using the word "analystics", as if they have any idea what it means or the context to which it's applied.

    Early on everyone was clamoring that we got the wrong guy.  They were the best of the bunch.  Now that they are playing like rookies we've moved on to mahomes.  Its hilarious.  

     

    Rookies are all playing like rookies.  Based on what I've watched.  I'd still take my chances on Allen all day. 

     

    Mayfield is every bit as good as advertised to me, and Allen still looks like a bust. What do you need help with?

    This is an opinion stated as a fact. And not even a particularly solid opinion ...

     

     

     

    Sorry if you can't handle implicit statements. That's not my problem. I don't go around qualifying statements with "imo". Of course it's my opinion, because I'm the one saying it, and I haven't provided a peer reviewed paper with citations for confirmation.

     

    Done with you.
