    the human meme generator is at again  - shamelessly comical

     

    substitute MSNBC, Daily Kos, The Daily Beast, Air America, & HuffPo .......voila, 2 sides to the same coin

    Maybe true but it's super relevant here.  Paul makes a good comment or two but then goes off the deep end with misinformation and misinterpretation.  I used to respect him but he's shifted to shamelessly advocate for the lowest in his base.  Fauci isn't the bad guy, everyone failed with covid imo.

    You don’t fire Flores unless you have a back up plan. It’s all over the web of Miami’s interest in Harbaugh also don’t count out Pederson as well

    Yeah that could be what they're thinking, you know they'll want a big name.

    And may I ask then why are you ‘triggered’ by someone being triggered? Hmmm? 😉

    Someone may need to define triggered for ya there sparky.  I find humor picturing an old man grumbling at his TV crying about an athletes opinions.

    When did this idiot become the moral compass of the sporting world?  He plays a silly game with a ball and hoop.  Just shut up already.   

    Change the channel?  Don't listen?  Wow I can't imagine being triggered like this by an athlete.  Brady is an exception to this of course as a bills fan.

    Hey man, not sure it helps your cause if you call everyone who disagrees with you, part of a cult...it just makes people shut down to what you’re trying to say- even if you have good points to make...

     

    Imo, issues tend to be more nuanced and overlapping, and less black and white...👍

    Have you said the same to the morons that throw out the word Marxists all the time?  Ya know, the geniuses whom 90% of couldn't define what it is without a dictionary in front of them.

    BYRON YORK: About those Jan. 6 texts. 

     

    One commentator, the Washington Post’s Aaron Blake , grossly mischaracterized what Ingraham had said in an effort to fit the facts into his preferred anti-Fox narrative. But look what actually happened . . . .

    This is what Ingraham texted to Meadows: ‘Mark, the President needs to tell people in the Capitol to go home. This is hurting all of us. He is destroying his legacy.'”

     

    Shocking. 😆

     

    Plus: “The bottom line is there is much less to the texts story than the critics would have you believe. Of course, don’t look for those critics to admit that. Some of them have been attacking Fox for years and are not going to stop now.

     

    Before you accept their spin, take a look at what Ingraham and the others actually said.”

     

    They lied about Trump and they lie about Fox because, well, they lie about everything.

    Uhh isn't that the point?  Texts show they thought this was a huge black eye while their coverage of the event showed it was no big deal.  I don't get why the right can't just agree that it was Trumps fault, those idiots should all be locked up (all rioters) , and this was an attempt to disrupt a part of the political process.  It's a big deal and if the left did it I would want those people gone.

     

    And the people comparing to blm riots, first It's a dumb comparison,  second you can lock those rioters up too for all I care.

    Really interesting how War-mongering seems to drift as a topic from Left to Right to Left to Right...Dem to Repub to Dem to Repub...truly interesting to watch.

     

    We have Leftists on here advocating that the United States take the LEAD in forming a coalition to fight RUSSIA on their home turf, over a piece of land that was just partially commandeered during the previous Leftist's Presidency...interesting that now (and I hear this beyond said Poster on this site, talking nationally) the Left wants to use US military power against a much more difficult opponent...

    Who said that was right?  I'm not sure what the proper response should have been but I doubt many here approve of that move by Obama.  I sure don't it was and I think overall he was a great president.   Crap decision there though imo.

    Just spoke with a (GI) nurse who is Russian.  She said Putin won't invade but he should because Ukrainians feel like they've been abandoned and the new government is a joke and just as corrupt as the old ones.

    Shocked that a Russian would say that...most Ukranians, and eastern Europeans for that matter,  despise Russia.  That whole raping of their resources thing after ww2 doesn't sit well with them.  It set all former satellite states back considerably ecomically and most haven't fully recovered.   It's important that this not be allowed to happen.   I hope European Nato members step up and we don't have to do much.  Ukraine isn't in nato but it's a threat nonetheless.

    So 2020 was a great offensive season by the Bills. Wonderful, exciting, electric, whatever you want to call it.

     

    We can all agree the 2021 offense has its moments where it feels like a continuation of 2020 and moments where it feels like we are back in 2019. But what do the numbers say?

     

    1. We are actually better at running the ball this year.

     

    Last year, the Bills were 17th in attempts, 20th in yards, 15th in TD's and 20th in YPA.

     

    This year, we are 17th in attempts, 11th in yards, 9th in TD's and 9th in YPA.

     

    Some of this may be explained by Josh running a bit more (he's averaging 34 YPG compared to 28 last season, but on a similar number of attempts per game 6.4 to 6.3), but the fact remains, we are better at running.

     

    2. We are worse through the air this year.

     

    Last year, 11th in attempts, 3rd in TD's, 3rd in yards, 9th in INT's and 4th in NY/A

     

    This year, 8th in attempts, 3rd in TD's, 7th in yards, 24th in INT's, and 10th in NY/A.

     

    A lot of this is Josh, statistically. He is across the board less efficient and more TO prone compared to last season. Still playing great, still one of the best young QB's in the NFL, but not 2020 Josh.

     

    3. On the whole, we are not much different than last year.

     

    I have long held the belief that the best statistic to judge a unit to their peers is their "per drive" stats. Not as prone to confabulation due to the defense creating opportunities for the offense etc. 

     

    Last year, Bills offense 2nd in score percentage, 15th in TO percentage, 5th in time of possession, 10th in plays per drive (an admittedly stat missing in utility due to scoring fast not being particularly bad), 4th in yards per drive, and 3rd in points per drive.

     

    This year, Bills offense 2nd in score percentage, 12th in TO percentage, 14th in time of possession, 10th in plays per drive (an admittedly stat missing in utility due to scoring fast not being particularly bad), 4th in yards per drive, and 2nd in points per drive.

     

    Outside of the huge difference in time per drive (which may be related to sheer number of possessions due to a great defense), we are still a very similar offense per drive. We score often, we are efficient, we get a lot of yards and we get a lot of points. Our TO% is actually better despite our INT number climbing, likely due to less fumbling overall.

     

    Conclusions? Josh is just not as sharp as he was last year, but overall he is still playing great football and leading a great offense, an offense that by the numbers is just as good as the one last year.

     

    The variance we are seeing from Josh is not really uncommon, even among the historically great. Last year, Aaron Rodgers threw for 48 TDs. This year, through 11 games, he has thrown for only 23, which will likely place him in the mid 30's as a season total trendwise. His passer rating is a full 17 points less this year compared to last year.

     

    The great QB's have good years, and great years, and insane years. We aren't in an insane year for Josh. We are in a great year. And our offense continues to remain great.

    Nice writeup interesting stuff.
