    "As previously mentioned, Allen's low CPOE puts him in second place. This is misleading. His 0.332 adjusted EPA per game is significantly higher than anyone else in the league right now -- Jackson clocks in at second with a 0.275. He's 20 percent more valuable on any given down than any other quarterback in the NFL."

     

    The Bills are the team with the more potent offense in this matchup, by a pretty significant margin.

     

    Bills EPA/play .201(1st in NFL)

    Lions EPA/play .135(4th in the NFL).

     

    Or another way of looking at it...the Bills are 67% more potent on a per play basis than the Lions are.

     

    Detroit should be the ones fearing out offense more than we fear theirs 

     

     

     

    Well, I think it's not much difference one way or the other in level of concern either way.

    It's attributing to other Bills players being injured far more.

     

     

    Yes, it's beyond the point that it became a frustrating issue because it's been an ongoing occurrence. Obviously it happens once in a while, but this many times with the same player involved is concerning

    With the bad footing that is to be expected, hope they don't dress him. Let him play on carpet in LA and Detroit

     

    Why?> It was an arm injury he's been recovering from. Don't see how the "footing" would make any risk in that regard by him playing.

    I am concerned about Milano being in game shape. This is no time to find out as Bills need to win to keep in striking distance of KC.  I hope it works out for him but if it's not yet, does McD go to another guy if there is another guy?

     

    I can't help but question what is it that you believe is giving you a reason to feel concerned about Milano not being in game shape? He's done nothing but put in the work to the limit so what makes you concerned about him not being in game shape?

    Their defense has been the bigger surprise as most their injuries have been on offense.  It’s definitely under performing and with the offense so banged up it’s just been a struggle for them.  

    Yeah I get it, it's just still somehwhat surprising that to see them at 5-6. Considering all those issues I would have predicted either 7-4 or 6-5. Just wouldn't have thought they'd be below .500 at this point in the season anyway.

    HOUSE DIVIDED!

     

    This is the first time since my wife and I started dating that NINERS and BILLS are facing off haha.  She’s a die hard Niner fan but also supports the Bills when not playing her Niners.

     

    She’s bummed her team has had a crap season instead of this being two titans playing this week.  


    It will be a first full day in our new house too…should still be fun…at least for me haha 🤣 

     

    Congrats!! Yeah it's been kinda surprising the way the 49ers have been thus far. I wonder what the main reason for it? Injuries always plays a part, but even then it's still surprising a little bit since they have struggled a bit more than I would have thought.

    KC has next 4 in a row at home? Dang.

    Really, that's crazy. I don't think I can recall any team having 4 straight home games in a row. Seen 3 in a row, but never seen 4 that I can remember. Not saying it hasn't happened, but I can't think of any teams schedule having 4 straight home games and I've seen many of schedules in my day. I don't have the best memory either these days so that's probably it.

     

    But either way, it's got to be pretty rare thing for a team getting 4 home games in a row at any point in a season right?

    This is viewing a hated rival through buffalo glasses. 

    'Nice' skill players.  They have exceptional skill players, even with Hill hurting 

    Tua is playing very well and getting better each week. 

    Only a biased fan would say they're not worthy of respect.

    Thursday will day a lot about them,  if Green Bay handles them,  then you may be right in your assessment. But they are a challenge because of their offense.

    Not to speak for the poster you quoted, but I believe there are many that feel like it's hard to have a whole lot of respect for them when considering what they've done against teams with winning records. 

     

    I mean there's respect for them, but only to a certain extent. But I'd say that's the case for many people when viewing the Fins from that particular standpoint and not quite as much who simply, "view a hated rival through buffalo glasses", or "only a biased Fan"

    I said this last week but no-one agreed.

     

    I would nit be shocked if Baltimore misses the playoffs.

     

    Chargers, Eagles, Steelers, Texans is a brutal final stretch. Plus the Browns, who always give them a tough game and beat them earlier this year. 

     

    I think it actually stinks for us, because if we get the 2 seed and Ravens get the 7 seed, that’s a tough wild card matchup.

     

    Well, I wouldn't say shocked, but it would surprise me a bit if they missed the playoffs. However I would also be glad

    Everybody is saying the 49ers are in "desperation mode". Based on my viewing they are in "mail it in mode". Bills by a billion.

    Just my 2 cents here, as I mentioned in a previous post if any game that one might consider them in desperation mode, it's the last 2 games against a division rival and yesterday against a NFC opponent. Both are much more important than against the AFC Bills

    Sorry I picked your post to respond to (it's nothing personal) but these kinds of comments frustrate me.  Do you think the 49ers weren't in "desperation mode" yesterday at Green Bay?

     

    There's no reason not to expect every team's "best effort" in every game.  That crap happens in high school and college when a guy's girlfriend breaks up with him the night before the game or the guys are more worried about the party afterwards.  Not in the pros (unless you're the Giants and you see your front office kick your QB to the curb for a caricature so you decide you're not going to lay it on the line for them).

     

    The 49ers are only a game out of first in their very winnable division.  Of course they are still playing for something.

     

    If the Bills aren't prepared they'll lose.  I'm not really worried that they won't be.

     

     

     

     

    I tend to agree here in regards to the bold, those claiming that 49ers are in desperation mode against the Bills doesn't make much sense to me. I would say the games against Seahawks in their division as much more important along with yesterday vs Packers which also is an NFC opponent that would be considered more of a "desperation mode" than against an AFC opponent in the Bills.

    Bills are -6.5 -120 now. -3.5 -110 last week.

     

    Lines don't swing like that because of one bad loss to GB. Vegas knows. Purdy isn't playing. 

     

    I'm not so sure that is the case. I mean it's just Monday so I would assume it's too early to determine whether or not if Purdy will play imo. Also the line can change any time between now and Friday. It's more of a "guess" imo

    serious question here.  Kelce was caught on camera clapping as the Bills won.  i think it happened after Bernard picked Mahomes and the Chefs offense was walking off the field.  was it a respectful clap,  or him being an asshat?  i couldnt really tell.

    It looked to me as a "sarcastic" type clap, like "yay, yeah you guys got us in the regular season again" type clap. JMO

    The trick play came after the Bills had held them to two successive punts, and the offense had scored a TD on the previous drive? Plus the series record prior to the call was 24 yard pass, 6 yard run, 4 yard run, 3 yard run. It was 2&7 from Baltimore's 47. At time it felt like the momentum was swinging to back towards the Bills.

    Agree, thought it wasn't the time for that type of call myself, especially when your Oline is having a tough time blocking as it is.

    To each their own.  We’re 5th in the league in sacks.  Sacks aren’t just generated by one person making the sack.  Sacks are often a result of the entire defensive line keeping in their lanes and containing the QB in the pocket so one guy can reap the stat.  
     

    Ed has not been a “noticeable weakness”.   That proclamation is noticeably weak 

    Couldn't have said it any better....

    Has anyone noticed that after these next three games, the Bills' schedule is flat out easy?  Of the final 11 games, only three (KC, Jets, Lions) look to be tough games.  SF (at home) could be tough but SF are not looking good and they are getting more banged up every week.  At Seahawks won't be easy, but that's not a great team, either, and I think the Bills match up well with them.  If we can go 2-1 the next three weeks, a 14-3 or 13-4 record is very much in play.     

     

    I wouldn't say all that....
