The last line of the PFF quote talking about their QB rating system is stupendously condescending, “So a lot of people can’t comprehend it.” Meaning of course that they are simply too intelligent there at PFF and the typical football fan is too ignorant to grasp their genius.
If PFF’s formula says that Josh Allen’s 417 yard, 4 TD, 0 INT, 70% completion rate performance last week was graded as the twelfth best QB performance last week, just take our word for it because you are too stupid to understand the complexities of why Sam Darnold dumpster fire performance was better.
Instead of looking at their results and realizing there is no way Darnold’s performance was better than Allen’s, and that their methods must be fatally flawed to reach that conclusion, they ask us to ignore our own eyes and just take it on faith that they know more than we do.
Their QB rating system is obviously a joke and PFF are a bunch of clowns.

You know that GMFB segment will be played a hundred times in the locker room at One Bills Drive this week. The Legend of Josh Allen grows...

Nice write up Shaw! Allen sure looked like the real deal today. 500+ yards of offense? Crazy! Now we need the Seahawks to clobber the Patriots!

I hope you choke on it! 🤣

It struck me watching the Jets game how well Josh moves around the pocket now. There were many plays where the pocket started to get small or shift and in the past couple of seasons Josh would have pulled the ball down and took off with it. Now he simply shifts with the pocket keeping his eyes down field at his receivers. He is also very adept at moving and negating the blitzing DB. There were several plays where a defender came free and came flying into the backfield and at the last moment Josh stepped up or over and the defender went flying right past him.
He has developed a pocket presence and is not playing scared back there, but shifting and moving and keeping a play alive and hitting his wide receivers. Sometimes it is just a little hop step forward or a two or three step shuffle to the left or right. He does it calmly and efficiently while continuing to scan the field. This is a huge development. Some QBs never develop that sort of pocket awareness (Darnold).
I'm expecting a lot more work for the RBs against the Phins, but Josh is going to get his shots. Josh looked great throwing against the Jets, but it was the Jets. If he can be as accurate and efficient throwing the ball against the Phins secondary and stay slippery and poised in the pocket, it will show Josh has taken another big step in his development. You can't be an elite QB in the NFL without high level pocket awareness.

You all know Josh will see this today. Someone will send it to him. After he watches it he will take two deep breaths and immediately put on film of the Dolphins / Patriots game on Sunday and spend twice as much time as he ordinarily would breaking down the Phin's defense so he is ready for next Sunday.
It's the politically correct answer for Allen to come out and say that he doesn't listen to the relentless media bashing, that it doesn't matter what people say about him outside of One Bills Drive, but the guy's only human. You know it has to piss him off and it fuels him to prove everyone of them wrong.
Keep talking your trash Le Batard and Bomani. Josh is going to make you make you eat those words one day.

It's especially sweet for Roberts to play so well against the Jets who let him walk after giving them a Pro Bowl season as a returner.

It's hard to understate how important it is for a QB to go to an organization that will put him in a position to succeed. Josh obviously is in a great situation here in Buffalo, and Darnold is clearly not. Josh is looking better in every aspect of his game right now and Darnold is playing without any help or confidence. The tough thing for Darnold is that I think the guy could be a successful NFL quarterback. I think that if the fates had intervened and Darnold had been drafted by Beane and the Bills, he would be successful on this Bills team. As it stands now, Allen is looking at a big payday if he can keep playing at this level, and Darnold might very well be holding a clipboard on another team next year.
If the Jets suck all year they could be sitting there with a top three draft pick staring at a blue chip college QB. If they bring in a new head coach next year he may want his own QB under center to start his regime. Lastly, if Darnold continues to get hammered and struggles all season, he might not have the ability to recover his confidence and play good football again. The NY media and Jets' fans are brutal once they turn on you. It might end up being a very long year for Darnold.
Believe me, I'm not crying any tears here for Darnold or the Jets. I hope they continue to be a dysfunctional franchise and that Darnold never evolves into a QB who can beat the Bills. I'd love to have him holding a clipboard behind Josh next year in Buffalo if he gets released. It just goes to show that for all the debate and speculation about college QB's coming out in the draft, the franchise they go to and the leadership there is just as important as the QB himself.

Inigo did you look at safeties?
No I didn’t, just TDs.

As dominant as our defense was last year, the defense did not score a single touchdown all season. We had one special teams TD on Micah Hyde's, jumping, pirouetting fielding of that onside kick versus Miami that he returned for a touchdown Week 14. That's it, just one defensive or special teams TD all season long for the Bills. It's crazy to think that a top five defense in the league did not have a single INT or fumble return for a TD.
I think that scoreless defense last year was an anomaly and I expect our defense to score some points this season. I think there is a great opportunity for the Bills to score a defensive TD this Sunday against the Jets. The Bills' defense is going to be able to stunt and confuse the Jets' new and untested O-line and get after Darnold all game long. I think we will see Darnold frequently under pressure and make some bad decisions with the ball and see him getting hit in the pocket. A ball is going to get knocked out or tipped at some point. I think this is the week where our defense finally gets off the scoring schnide.
[EDIT] For reference, by my count there were 36 INT TDs and 34 fumble recovery TDs for a total of 70 defensive TDs in the NFL during the 2019 season.

LOL to hear the jets fans talk they think their win would not even be a upset
That board id gonna melt by halftime of this first game
I post on both of the big Jets message boards under the same name as here and I always post a disclaimer that I’m a Bills fan. Some good posters there and some knuckleheads just like anywhere else. Seems to be about a 60/40 split about how this Sunday is going to go for the Jets. 60% think the Jets are going to get nuked by the Bills. 40% think Allen has genital herpes and got hit in the head with a lawn dart when he was a kid and shouldn’t even be in the NFL. They are quite vocal in their belief that the Jets are going to destroy the Bills. Their posts may not be very enlightening, but they are entertaining.-

I know that completion % is one of the key metrics to measure QB play, but I really don’t care if Josh finishes with 58.8% or 61.3%. The metric that matters is wins and loses. Why do they never point out how clutch he is late in games bringing his team back to win? Do they watch the Bills enough to know that Allen never takes the easy 5 yard completion on 3rd and 10 to pad his stats, but will instead try to complete a harder pass that will actually keep the drive alive? Do they mention he was eighth in the League in rushing TDs last season? How valuable is that ability? Do they talk about his intense desire to win typified by him jumping into a scrum and picking up a fumbled snap in Dallas and out muscling the entire Dallas D-line to convert a critical 4th down?
At the end of the day, does Allen do more to win games for this team than he does to lose them? I think the answer is clearly yes. Pointing out completion % is just more lazy reporting from national sports writers who don’t watch Allen play enough to have an informed opinion and just fall back on the widely accepted narrative on Allen.

12 team PPR;
1.) Josh Allen was my second QB, Kyler Murray was my first. (Starting Allen vs Jets Week 1 instead of Murray at 49s).
2.) Bills defense. I was "that guy", the first to draft a defense... 🤦♂️

The New York Metro area is one of the world's largest transportation hubs. NYC was broadsided, before anyone knew what was going on. New York now has the lowest, or almost the lowest percentage of new cases, and deaths, in the U.S. That is not an accident.
New York State was hammered by an indefensible state-wide policy that forced COVID19 patients into nursing homes and decimated the most vulnerable populations there. I have worked in an ER in Kentucky for 24 years. We had to have a negative COVID19 test to return or place any patient into a nursing home from our hospital. Common sense. I'm not going to say anyone did a great job of handling this once in a century pandemic, but to say Coumo did a great job managing this pandemic when his policy is the major factor in almost 20,000 nursing home deaths in New York State is simply Orwellian.

I violated my rule of not betting on the Bills. Fandom clouds one's judgement. But in this case it was a no-brainer.
What I can't decide is the O/U of 39.5. I agree with you that the Jets might not score. And I can't see McDermott running up the score.
Hey Promo! I would take this bet too if I were a betting kinda guy. I don't think it will be close. The Jets have a good D line but Moseley opted out and I think their LB corps and secondary is suspect. Five new starters on the O-Line with no preseason to gel. No real WR except for Crowder who is a slot guy. Herndon, Bell and Crowder are the offense and I think the Bills D can handle them. With this crazy preseason the Bills continuity across the board has to be worth at least a score in this match up.
One place I might disagree with you is that I think McDermott will tell Daboll to blow the doors off any defense he can. Josh and this offense need confidence and I don't see McDermott putting the breaks on this offense if they get rolling. Hanging 40+ points on an NFL defense will build confidence quickly. I hope this game is the coming out party for the Bills' offense.

Haven't read the whole thread so forgive if this has already been stated, but I wouldn't be surprised to see the Jets snap up Foster. Their WR corps is in shambles and Foster could provide some intel on the Bills' offense as well.

This is the last year of Murphy's deal. He's gone next year no matter what. Probably wont trade him. But since we have the money, might as well keep him. I agree he's a "solid" DE.
Didn't know it was Murphy's last year. Thanks for the info.

Side note, how is Murphy still on the team and I guess that puts an end to the dream of Clowney on a one year deal
I think Murphy is a solid NFL DE and if we have the cap space to keep him this year we should. If we release Murphy he is on another team's roster in less that 24 hours. Beane can always move him later for picks or a player or release him next year to free up space for a Milano deal. I didn't expect Tre, Dawkins, and Milano to all get extended this year.

This is what solid GM work looks like. What a difference Beane has made for this franchise. He needs to be the next extension announced.

After letting Hopkins go they had to lock down Watson or the city of Houston would have burned to the ground and Bill O’Brien’s body would have been the kindling.

I’m calling 911 for Bill Belichick and the Pat’s obnoxious fans. It will be so much fun listening to them cry after getting crushed in their first post Brady Era game. 😃
-
I’m making the call. The Phins go into Foxborough Week 1 and crush the Pats. Fitz’s teammates will rally around him and they will dominate the Pats to help Fitz honor his mother. It won’t even be close.
Book it.

Time for Tyler Kroft to step up EDIT: He Did!!!
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted · Edited by Inigo Montoya
Kroft restructured his contract earlier this year and is essentially on the last year of a two year $10.5 million contract that is fully guaranteed. Since he arrived in Buffalo at the beginning of the 2019 season he has had 6 catches for 71 yards and 1 TD. You can do the math about how much money that is per catch. He has battled injuries and has had limited availability. Beane brought him in because he flashed some pass catching skill in Cincinnati in the 2017 season before being injured there.
Kroft is healthy right now, and with Knox and Sweeney out, he is the Bills' primary pass catching TE. This game on Sunday has all the looks of a shootout, especially if we don't get both Edmunds and Milano back on the field. The Rams' defense is going to be focused on Diggs, Smoke, and Beasley and Kroft could end up being Daboll's sneaky X factor in the game plan. One thing is certain though, with Knox out, now is time for Tyler Kroft to finally step up and justify that contract.
