Watt will play on Sunday and will make an impact.

It's far from meaningless but you have to go beyond the numbers to understand what's going on. Did both the offensive and defensive performances vary or just one? (In the Bills' case, it was just defense). If they both varied, did the variance coincide, i.e., did the entire team play flat against weaker opponents? If so you're probably looking at a coaching/focus issue. If one unit varied, was it addressed in the offseason by player personnel/coaching/scheme changes? Etc. etc. There is a lot behind the "why" that absolutely matters.

You look at offensive and defensive DVOA, for one, which I believe exists on a per-quarter basis at Football Outsiders (but I’m not certain). EDIT: the FO Almanac, which I purchased and highly recommend, is illuminative. The Bills’ 2020 offensive DVOA in the first half of games ranked 3rd in the league; in the second half of games it ranked 9th. Red zone DVOA on offense ranked 9th. In “late and close” situations it ranked 5th. By contrast, the defensive DVOA in the first half ranked 12th and in the second half ranked 11th; red zone defensive DVOA ranked 11th, in “late and close” situations the defense ranked 6th. This tells me the offense mostly did it’s job, the defense let teams hang around until “late and close” situations and then tightened up. This is consistent with what we all saw with our own eyes last season and to me explains the relatives close point differential. Elite offense, average defense except in pressure situations it stepped up.
-
To be clear: the “context” here is the defense - the offense did its job every week except against KC, basically. So the issue was the defense letting the other team keep the game close. It’s not like the offense was laying goose eggs some weeks. Point differential can mean different things to different teams but in the Bills’ case, the defense needs to improve this year and not let teams hang around.

Peter King says Bills/Rams Super Bowl
Coach Tuesday replied to The Dean's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He definitely has games where he's just completely disengaged from the action on the field, and/or plays completely out of the gamplan. That said, (i) he's never really had to play in a game that mattered; and (ii) the gameplans have almost always been awful. This is really "put up or shut up" time for his legacy, he'll be playing in games that matter for a coach who can gameplan for the modern NFL. The jury is out, but I can totally see him having a monster year. -

Not so much the headphones as the talent - Goff simply lacks the arm and leg talent to overcome the play call. Stafford is far more talented and mobile. -

Coach Tuesday replied to The Dean's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Did you know that Stafford is tied with John Elway for the seventh-most fourth quarter comebacks of all time? His problem is that he folds early, not late. -

Calling it now: Devin will be a 1000 yard back this year
Coach Tuesday replied to Alphadawg7's topic in The Stadium Wall
I’m not sure that would be a good thing for our offense, honestly. That would suggest to me that something went wrong. The only way one of these backs is rushing for over 1000 yards (unless you mean combined yards) is if Trubisky is running the offense, IMO. -
Buffalo Bills 2021 practice squad players
Coach Tuesday replied to HOUSE's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I liked Oliver and can’t believe the Jags traded him within the conference while giving Tebow and now Hollister a look instead. That regime is off to a questionable start. And I wish we had been the ones to make that trade. -

Bills cuts to get to 53 [final info in the OP]
Coach Tuesday replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Maybe I was more down on Smoke last year than others - he looked totally washed to me, I had zero confidence he could beat his man in any kind of semi-contested situation. And I'm probably higher on Sanders than you are. (Then again - you may have been wrong about Laviska Shenault, eh?) -
Bills open practice 9/1 and media
Coach Tuesday replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Or one of the dozens of UDFA gems or position-converting salvage jobs that seem to show up every year or two? Heck the Bills actually HAD ONE OF THESE and got rid of him; he's now an upper-tier TE with the WFT. -

I'm hopeful they've improved at WR with Stevenson, Kumerow and Sanders. -

Sweeney cannot get himself on the field - availability is a skill, he lacks it. -

I mean they have literally no one but Kroft - they cut everyone else and traded away Herndon! They have ONE tight end on their roster and it's Tyler Kroft! -

I don't care about Hollister - he's a JAG. I'd have liked them to upgrade at the position this past offseason. Their only move was bringing in Hollister, whom they've now cut.
