Has the run killed us at times over the last 3 games? Yes, most definitely. But once you break it down, its more that they have serious issues stopping the run one one drive rather than their run defense being putrid. There is a reason the Bills are still the 6th ranked run defense per DVOA.
vs the Jets, the Bills gave up 174 on the ground. Putrid. However, lets break it down:
Zac Wilson had 5 rushes for 48
Carter had 12 for 76
Robinson had 13 for 48
A mix of WR had 4 for 26
The Jets rushed 8 times for 73 on that last drive. Meaning prior to that drive the Jets were rushing at a clip of 26 for 101, an average of 3.8. Now obviously that last drive was a dagger, and killed us, but up to that drive they defended the run reasonably well.
vs the Vikings, the Bills gave up 147 on the ground.
Dalvin - 14 for 119
Cousins - 6 for 12
Mattison - 3 for 11
Ham - 1 for 3
Osborn - 1 for 2
Outside of the 1 drive that consisted of 1 rush for 81 yards, the Bills held them to 66 yards rushing on 24 attempts, an average of 2.75. Like the Jets game, this one drive definitely hurt, and is part of the entire picture, however, outside of that drive, I think any of us would take that run defense.
The Green Bay game definitely was the worst in regards to our rush defense. However, hearing from Von and others on the defense, it sounded like the Bills were allowing the run to happen and continued to defend the pass, letting the Packers run the clock out on their own.
Have the Bills been great against the run? Obviously no, they have not. Do they have serious issues? No, I don't think so. They need to clean up some mistakes, but I don't believe its a dire situation. Could the Browns kill us on the ground? Undoubtedly. Chubb is a beast. That being said, given the weather, I believe the Bills will sell out to stop the run and dare Jacoby to beat us. Much like they did against the Titans when they held them to 27 for 80 yards.
But that is literally how every team handles the run. Bad teams rarely give up 4-5 yards every carry, but they consistently give up chunk yardage. It's like saying "Outside of the 2 late 4th quarter touchdown, the defense only gave up 10 points." You have to take the whole game into account. Chubb averages 5.5 yards a carry, but gets plenty of 1-3 yards runs to get there.

Or potentially Browns vs. Bills in Detroit.
Potential blizzard or?

Well that stat indeed sucks, but be careful.The Browns sent Mayfield packing for a variety of reasons, one being interceptions. Look at that mess now.
And most of it has nothing to do with Brissett. Plus, it's been 9 games with a backup.
Clevelands defense is the main issue right now. Talent, but bad communication.

You act like Frank Reich is the only backup QB to ever win a game and that Case never played a game before playing in the Preseason with the Bills. Keenem, just last year, started two games for the Browns. He was 47/72 (65%), 462 yards with 3 TDs and 1 INT. That's good stuff for a backup QB.
Not that it matters much, but Keenum had 375 yards in those 2 games, not 462. The rest was spot duty in other games.
Keenum is a decent backup, and can manage a game, but he likely won't win you the game. In the 2 starts for Cleveland, the Browns had 335 yards rushing and 3 TDs as well.

Patrick Mahomes threw it SIXTY EIGHT TIMES in a 20-17 win.
RUSHING:
Mahomes: 63
Everyone else: 14
I think someone ELSE may need a running game as well, but hey, it's the Chiefs, so they get a free pass.
The Chiefs are in the same boat. The issue being with either team is that if the QB has any kind of off night, or even just an average night, it makes it extremely difficult to win games.
Every team is stronger in either run/pass. But when your offense is 80% predicated on 1 player, or on the pass, it makes game planning that much easier.

Still need to be able to run for those times when your QB looks like steaming dog-*****I agree. Just saying that a 4.6 YPC average is not a great indicator of a good RB without context. CMC was the Panther's offense. Singletary is almost an afterthought, so when he does run, he get less focus, which can lead to more yardage.

I’m not saying Motor is CMC, but Singletary has a higher career average YPC with 4.7 vs 4.6. Pretty large sample size, too. The RB isn’t the problem. It is the OL. Period. Yes, an upgrade would be great, but I’m not blaming the RB.
You can't compare their YPC though, without context. CMC was the focal point of the offense in Carolina, and didn't have much help. They have decent WRs but no one to get them the ball. Singletary is the 3rd-5th option in Buffalo, so teams don't game plan around him.

Yeah, this is a joke. I'm sorry, but the guy pressing charges can kick rocks
I don't think people should press charges for every little situation, but I'm fine with this one. If some dude walked up, punched you, and walked away, and you had no "real" injuries, it still warrants punishment. Adams was completely unwarranted in what he did to a guy who had zero to do with him at all.
I'm not saying Adams should be punished severely either, but it warrants some punishment. It honestly is probably a way for the guy to press a settlement out of him.

I mean I don't believe a word out of Jim Harbaugh's mouth. If he told me today was Monday I'd throw my calendar away and presume it was wrong.
What makes you say that? Just curious.

Surprised it came this early. I was told by someone in the know to expect the Panthers to chase a big name when the inevitable Rhule firing came. Watch Sean Payton and Jim Harbaugh.
Harbaugh claimed his interview with Minnesota last year were his last look into the pros. Obviously that could be a bunch of crap, but He claims he is done chasing the NFL.

Look at the pic of his car. Do you know anyone that did that to a car doing 65 in a 45?
I don't think you understand how fast 65 truly is, and that most sports cars crumple by design. All I am going by is the reported information, not random speculation.
-

He was at 65 when he crashed, more likely going 100 and slammed on the brakes. Or do you think he was casually driving 65 and then flipped one of the best handling sports cars a dozen times? If so I have a bridge to sell you.
You are starting from a point where it's possible or likely that he said that. That's the Bigfoot example. You believe Bigfoot exists or do you start from the point of "haha yeah right there is no Bigfoot" prove me wrong?
Everything about your points is speculation. You assume everything about what Garrett did to be on the far wrong side. Everyone else it pointing out that maybe it's not that, or not quite that bad, and you say "prove me wrong" yet have no evidence of what you're saying either.

No he's a garbage person because he destroyed the name of Mason Rudolph by saying he said something racist to him and that's why he tried to hit him with a helmet. There are people that still think he did. This just adds to the laundry list of why this guy is garbage. He almost killed that girl and he takes zero responsibility for it.
There is no way to know for sure what was said with the helmet thing and Rudolph. To be clear, nothing Rudolph would have said would make it ok to swing the helmet, but there is no way to say for sure what happened. There is also pictures of Rudolph hitting Garrett in the groin more than once, so he definitely wasn't 100% innocent either.
I think you're blowing this WAY out of proportion. He was driving too fast for sure. But 65 in a 45 isn't some insane speed. He wasn't being entirely reckless. He wasn't drunk. Hell, half of NFL fans drive home from games in worse shape than he would be.

Agreed. My problem with him is that he lies and gets away with it and then everyone kisses his butt and nominates him for man of the year and all of that and meanwhile he is a piece of garbage. Good football player, not a good human being
Fake outrage much? I pretty much guarantee that every one on this site has sped, and most have probably went 100+ or close to it. Is it incredibly stupid? Absolutely. Does that make him a bad person? Not necessarily. If the animal wasn't hit, then Garrett is legally responsible and will be cited. If the animal is hit, likely he would still be responsible but it can vary as well. But that doesn't mean he lied about it. They can tell pretty quickly whether you were speeding or not, so it isn't like lying about it would help anything. You get cited either way.
Garrett does a ton of work in the community and a ton to help kids and such. He made several poor choices driving recently it seems, and he needs to correct them. But stop with the "he's a garbage person" because of this. No drinking, no drugs, both people with seat belts on. Everybody has some bad to their name.

You’re missing the point: I’d be fine with fewer regular season home games in December/January in Buffalo. Nothing you can do about the playoffs…
Right, but I am saying you can't just change it because it may happen. Is Florida typically very hot in September? Sure, but It was 88+ in Ohio a week or so ago too.
If the temperature is insanely high, I get delaying the game until later that day or the evening, but you can't change how the entire 32 team schedule works because a couple stadiums could be hot, or cold. Weather is a part of football and it always has been. Rain, heat, cold, snow, wind. It's all part of the game.

There is no quantitative time component to completing the process. Two steps with the ball and the ball is tucked to the chest when the defender makes the play on it. I would like to see the complete play from more angles but the steps and the tuck should be all is needed. I would like to hear an official breakdown but I agree the challenge is likely not to go their way.
He didn't take "two steps" though. He did get 2 feet down, but he didn't take 2 steps then. But if Davis had fallen over without the defender and lost control on the way to the ground, or even when hitting the ground, it's not a catch. You have to maintain control through the catch. He caught it with 2 feet down, but immediately had the ball slapped out.
40 minutes ago, GunnerBill said:The tuck was not completed. You either need a football move or the time to complete a football move. In this instance I'd say he was still in the process of tucking it away when it was knocked out. Incomplete. Similarly if that is in the field of play I think it is called incomplete rather than a catch and a fumble.
I like your second statement here. If that exact thing happens at the 50 yard line, it's incomplete and not a fumble.

That’s not what we’re talking about. The Bills play the Dolphins twice. There is no reason this game (as opposed to the week 18 game) had to be in Miami in September at 1:00. Why schedule games in extreme weather when it can easily be avoided?
So no home playoff games in Buffalo in January?
3 hours ago, IronyAbounds said:Normally, but when you're talking about teams in the same division and they have to play twice, it doesn't make sense to play the games at the time of year where weather is more likely to factor into the game.
But the weather is part of the game. So no home games in Mami or Jacksonville in September? Carolina? No home games in Green Bay or Buffalo in December or January?
There are 32 teams to account for. You can't make the schedule purely based on what may happen.

Not a drop if defender chopped it out. Gabe did enough, two steps, tucked to his chest and TD. Defender's action came after TD criteria was met and was therefore irrelevant.
It's not a drop, but it's certainly not a catch either. He didn't possess the ball long enough, and wasn't able to complete the catch as the defender pulled it loose.
That isn't a catch, ever, and 100% would have lost a challenge.

You want one thing the NFL could do differently? How about not scheduling the Bills at Miami in September and Miami at Buffalo in December. Just idiotic that they'd schedule these games at times where the weather is very likely to play a factor. Just stupid.
But weather does play a factor in football. That's been the case forever. And the way it should be.
You can't schedule games around whether or not the weather may affect one team more than another.

This dude is most dirty player in NFL.
he was definitely grabbing Allen’s nuts in the pile. He has a history of doing this.
Also has a history of trying to injure players. Missed targeting call on his hit to Knox.
Targeting is a college rule.

Wonder if the Steelers would part with Claypool for a mid-round pick. They’ve got a glut of receivers of similar talent/profile. I would LOVE him in this offense.
Claypool is about as self centered as they come. He's an idiot. Immensely talented, but to me, not worth the extra that comes with it.

Obviously he he didnt intend it. But you should not be touching another injured player period. Could have life altering consequences with neck type injuries. Even if it wasnt dirty it was still very dangerous and incredibly stupid.
I don't think he had any clue he was injured. It was hurry up, and he was laying on the guy's legs. Obviously not intentionally looking back, but that does happen a lot when teams try to delay the ball getting snapped to run more time off.

Mitch did not look great yesterday. Fans were already calling for Picket. My guess says he'll be in by week 5 immediately after they lose to the Bills
They play Cleveland on Thursday night, so the long week may have them do it before week 4.

How did they call that a catch? He's bobbling it out of bounds. What the actual heck is a catch?
They reversed that call. Threw a TD the next play.

Week 11: Browns at Bills
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
I could honestly see them having both teams wear dark uniforms if the snow is as bad as it calls for.
