  1. It was considered a bad game .. because if your quarterback is only producing 200 total yards .. it is a really bad game. If any quarterback puts up 200 total yards it would be considered terrible, but for some reason in this case it is still great but not as great as his other amazing games. Running or passing the goal is to get as many yards as possible to put yourself in a position to score as much as possible. I am not trying to take anything away from what he is doing .. but as of now we still don't know if he will be a bust, need a bust in Canton or somewhere in between.
  2. A little forward looking .... but Pittsburgh’s Smith-Schuster appears to be a ways away from returning. https://steelerswire.usatoday.com/2019/12/03/steelers-cardinals-injuries-james-conner-juju-smith-schuster-nfl-week-14/
  3. Background on Kroft contract https://buffalowdown.com/2019/07/02/buffalo-bills-have-an-easy-out-on-tyler-krofts-contract/
  4. This is why I love PFF .. after last week for the year they have Josh Allen at the #26 best QB. They really show the truth to the phrase "there are lies, damn lies, and statistics". Behind Fitzpatrick - check; behind Mayfield - certainly; behind Winston - who wouldn't take Winston over Josh; Haskins - well why not [I live in metro DC and I am quite certain the redskins would be willing to trade their whole draft for Josh - but PFF statistics say ...] .... bahahahaha https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-quarterback-rankings-entering-week-14-2019
  5. So basically all Of us Bills fans for the past 19 yrs. hard to let go of the glory years.
  6. But he steals some of his own passing TDS by running it in ... Josh has 16 rushing TDs for his career .. Russell Wilson has 22 for his career. We are also comparing Josh to a future HOF QB who was more pro-ready coming out of college ... it is all about improving ... which he has done in spades
  7. Sorry that was me .. I thought she stated her name was Little Debbie and I have a weakness for snack cakes
  8. So the 49ers give up 2 extra points per game than the Bills and were on the road at the Ravens and lost by 3. The Ravens are at Buffalo and while I can see being favored ... really thinking 6.5 is VERY high.
  9. Another advantage Josh Allen provides is his ability to score with his legs. With 16 in his first 2 years he is 36th in tds for active players) this ties him withTyrod Taylor and is only 3 behind Russell Wilson. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/rush_td_active.htm
  10. Based on simply taking the numbers from the first 12 weeks if Josh just matches his exact production in the final quarter he would end the year vs last year would be: Passing; Att: 320; Comp: 169; YPA: 6.48; Pct: 52.8%; Yds: 2074; TD: 10; 12 Int Att: 499; Comp: 300; YPA: 7.08; Pct: 61.5%; Yds: 3454; TD: 21; 10 Int Rushing 2018 - Att: 89; Yds: 631; Avg: 7.1; TD: 8 2019 - Att: 124; Yds: 573; Avg: 4.6; TD: 10 If you had predicted these 2019 stats at the beginning of the year ... I would have likely thought you were overly optimistic .. great progress.
  11. Nice article about Buffalo the Bills and the Mafia ..... https://www.theblaze.com/buffalo-bills-real-americas-team
  12. I think in a way you believe that there is inherent bias ... the ref has teams they like.. or the ref gives the benefit of the doubt to certain teams or certain players. If it happens just 2 plays in a game when the other team is on offense if they ran 50 plays that means 4% of the possible plays on offense were slides to the favored team .. that is significant
  13. Great conversation on why the Bills are the type of team that represents us from GMFB. Enjoy .. America’s spirit animal .. nice
  14. My understanding is the Cowboys are eating Popeyes chicken sandwich .. eating God’s chicken sandwich could be the difference
  15. Not certain if already posted ... Vander Esch officially out https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/11/27/leighton-vander-esch-will-miss-another-week/
  16. What is this prediction based on? Do you get to claim some prize if the Cowboys win? Just a little more than the Cowboys are going to feast on Buffalo would help this post be more than totally irrelevant.
  17. Just rewatched the game ... and including plays where a penalty occurred there were 35 first down snaps for the Bills 26 were runs or a whopping or right around 74%. Of the 9 passes most went for very good gains ... except a throw-away on a well diagnosed screen and the interception where JA had plenty of time but just had the pass get away from him. I would like to see a bit more diversity.
  18. In case you would like to read what the Cowboys fan board is saying about us .... https://cowboyszone.com/threads/lets-talk-about-the-bills.446576/
  19. It appears it is a plot with Daboll .. hence why he calls a run play on 80% of 1st downs .. just trying to get us in 3rd and long. Seriously it is sooo maddening that he is such a vanilla play caller on 1st down
  20. Cowboys fan board is virtually unanimous that this is a huge blow .. basically stating he is their only run stuffer of consequence
  21. A couple of interesting tidbits 1) Buffalo's Defense only played 50 snaps on Sunday to Dallas Defense's 70 snaps .. this late in the year and with a short week you would think that may have an impact if we can keep our offense on the field. 2) This is an interesting article from CBS sports that details some of the game mismanagement for the Cowboys against New England. If we can get ahead early .. they could be looking over their shoulders and start making worse decisions. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/sorting-the-sunday-pile-week-12-cowboys-at-a-crossroads-with-jason-garrett-jerry-jones-situation/
  22. Score was the average but they gained 100 more yards. They were in control and milked it.
  23. Jason Garrett has a record of 4 wins and 5 losses in the Thanksgiving game since he took over ... so not a big advantage. Oh and the Cowboys have opened as a 6.5 pt favorite .... that seems a lot.
  24. Is this which team is my favorite team .. that I want to win the Super Bowl .. or the team that should be favored to win the Super Bowl. If the first .. then we have some rebels in our midst .. if the later we have some delusional folks in our midst. The Bills have been better than expected. I figured they would go 8-8 and now I am looking at 9-7 with a hope for 10-6. Would love to be wrong, but as of now .. the favorites have to be NE and Baltimore. Having stated that Go Bills ... as I would love to be wrong.
