Bob Chandler's Hands

The topics of the threads you mentioned, and this Gase thread:

I love it that you still have the boxes they came in. Those are interesting...not a typical wax pack.

Please mods, remove this crap.

Understood that it's a balance between dynamic returner and a Chris Watson. Roberts has yet to take one to the house or even get close. He's Mr. consistently 'pretty good'. And he he takes it out of the endzone on KO's too much.

I'm glad he made this announcement so that everyone holding their breathe hoping for a comeback can finally move on in the grieving process.

Seems like something the Bills could try with 49...

Ohm, I have some resistance to that post.

I actually noticed this too and dismissed it. Interesting that other folks had the same reaction.

Some folks on here could really benefit from a lesson in Bayesian statistics. But we're not going to do that in this thread.

I think he meant for the following year, impacted by this year's FA class. But it's not clear if that is the case either...guys need to resign elsewhere to count and depends on lots of other moves.

I mean, I loved the Bills coming up on 50 years now. Live and die with them. But remember, it's just football dude.

Those Swedish fish are deceptively tasty.

Of course, but I consider him more like Oliver's rotational partner. Whereas Butler and Phillips spell each other on the other side. At least that's my take on it.

This 100%. Butler out requires Jefferson to move inside and Murphy, Epenesa and Johnson all active. Butler is the only true wide-body and has been playing well. Phillips is similar and also playing well but need two of them if they want to consistently keep only 6 in the box and not get gashed in the running game like in week 6.

It's a different era though so you can't compare the stats directly, need to compare to peers. For a QB to enter without winning a Super Bowl he either needs to get to the Super Bowl more than once (Kelly, Tarkenton) or be an all-time great sort of guy (Marino). The argument for Rivers in the Hall-of-Fame using a comparable is probably not Anderson however, it's probably Warren Moon who is in fact in the HOF. In my opinion Moon was borderline to go to Canton, but in any event I'd argue he was a 1/2 step up from Rivers relative to his peers.

I recall thinking they were unlikely to win in '88, felt pretty good against the Raiders in '90, and expected them to win all the subsequent games after that. We owned the AFC in those days.

Not that it matters, but your math is wrong. You are inferring a higher % of support people required with the incremental 9,300 fans than the first 6,700 fans. That makes no sense. Even if the upper deck required an equal ratio to be added as the lower bowl requires, there is a core "fixed" group of support people who are the same whether they have 6,700 or 67,000 in the stadium. That means the % of support people required will go down as more fans come in, not up as you are inferring. Now is it possible the Bills couldn't get an adequate number of support people back in total as they haven't had a regular staff all season? That is possible. But the other viewpoint that this was a highly conservative decision based on public health is also conceivable, if not likely.

Great post, but you mean Greg Roman on this one 😉 Personally I think the broadcasts spend too much time showing us close-ups of the coordinators and talking about them. Yes, they are important. But we know what they look like and it's boring to keep seeing them standing or sitting there. Let's talk about the GAME more often please.

We know you're not that bright. You're a lawyer. 😉

If there is one thing we've learned in the past few years it's that many people will read what they want into every piece of information they see on the internet and want to hear back exactly what they already believe to be true. It's like an addiction. BTW - thanks for the Ravens insights on this thread.

Game day thread for a game a year ago. I'll be damned.

A little deceptive putting these together as the passer rating is only for Wild Card games and the SOS is obviously season long. The SOS data is, to me, more relevant for this weekend in terms of giving me hope the Bills are the superior team. Josh having a much better passer rating than Lamar in the WC game is not surprising since Jackson killed Tennessee with his running and could possibly do that again this weekend. We need a similar gap in passer ratings this weekend for a Bills win.

Who knows how this will all work out we can only hope the answer is "Badly".

You are giving them way too much credit. Maybe you were being sarcastic, but this is implausible. Maybe it works out that way but only if they are lucky.

This is like putting Johnson in for Flutie.
