Fwiw pff doesn't think very highly of Milano's play this season.

Edmunds is rated much higher.

I think part of the reason it seemed fine was the weak schedule. Football Outsiders had the Bills run defense ranked 23rd in DVOA, a next gen stat I admit I know very little about, going into the Eagles game. They have now fallen to 28th in the league.
I read a post of yours in another thread defending PFF. You pointed out that the NFL teams pay for and value their analysis and insight. PFF doesn't agree with your assessment and has rated him a poor performer for years, including his last 2 in Carolina.

His run stop % fell off a cliff his last 2 years in Carolina after being at a high level for two years, it has never recovered. Carolina had no interest in re-signing him.
A lack of sacks has nothing to do with it, his job is to occupy blockers and stuff the run and unfortunately he is not that good at it.
Star's massive regression started in his last years in Carolina well before the Bills signed him to that ridiculous 5 year contract.
Poor play and extremely poor coaching, 12 handoffs and 34 passes in high winds is inexcusable stupidity.
I've read a couple summaries of the game and so far no mention of the fact the Bills rbs were given the ball 12 times even though they were having success and Allen threw the ball 34 times in high winds even though he was not having success. That is the inexplicable fact and should be the number one story when writing this games summary.
I don't think it is an overreaction to say that Daboll is an idiot and needs to go. That game plan of passing all day in 30 mph winds and barely using the rbs was so absolutely incomprehensible and stupid that I cannot wrap my head around it.
P.S. Star still sucks.
That's because the Big '12' only has 10 teams, pretty sure honesty has nothing to do with it.
I do think that all conferences should play 9 conference games.
After the game tonight he predicted the Bills would not make the playoffs, Cleveland and Oakland would be the wild cards, and Baltimore and Cleveland would play in the AFC Championship. I wouldn't take anything that buffoon says too seriously.
Doubtful. Bloomsburg is much more Eastern PA than west. Much closer to NYC and Philly than Pittsburgh, it's 30 miles closer to Syracuse even than Pittsburgh. Anyways it shouldn't matter, we all know these refs are consummate professionals, right?
