I'm sorry, but this makes no sense. This is like the argument saying that if you take away the 80 yard TD run, our rushing game wasn't that great. You try to create turnovers because they do help you win. Yes, if you lose the turnover battle and yards become TD's you may lose. There are many factors that go into a victory, that's just one of them.
The overall thought of not getting too caught up in the victory makes sense, but don't discount how they got the victory.
So you admit it makes sense then.
I'm not creating a new train of thought here, this is all old hat. There are stifling defenses and bend but don't break defenses. Bend but don't break rely on big plays to get them out of bad situations in their own half of the field. I'm saying I would prefer to be stifling than allow teams to gain 400+ yards on us. This isn't rocket surgery here. Turnovers lead to a shorter field, which helps the offense and gives the defense rest, they're great. But, if you can't stop a slant or run up the middle on 3rd and 3 consistently, you're eventually going to get caught.

Players have to live in a 24 hour news cycle now. The questions asked at the presser are the same ones he's been asked about like 1000 times. He got tired of the same damn questions and decided he would be "funny." Problem is, he's not funny, so it came off as weird. I'm sure he walked off stage and bragged to his teammates how hilarious he just was.

Anybody worried that the Bears cut our D up for 427 yards?
Any time our defensive success is predicated upon turnovers I get nervous. Eventually the turnovers stop coming and the yards become touchdowns. I understand the Bears have a good offense, but Alshon was out for a third of the game and they lost both their starting Gs. We were not dominant by any stretch of the imagination.

After reading the 15 page thread over on FinsHeaven, I should probably say that I appreciate you guys...

The board was super tame compared to this one. Immediately after that post another Bears poster came out and wished us best of luck in all the rest of our games this year. Class act.

Let's not pretend he has ever had a really good season. He barely cracked 1,000 yards one time in his career. He has had a few nice runs at key points in his career. Today was one of them. But to comment on being lucky...he was lucky to get that big of a hole. He basically ran straight through a huge hole, but he finished strong which was important because we are the bills and every yard counts in that situation because we have had some tough heart breakers in recent years. CJ probably scores on the same run.
You're were wrong before, you are both ignorant and a troll
-
Yeah Schmidt was very impressive
-
I guess I don't understand the animosity towards ex bills
I think people get mad when players choose not to re-sign with us. Or you could just be a moron like Whitner and evoke hatred by trolling the fans who cheered for you even when you sucked.
-
Seriously, why doesn't everyone just stop listening to peach Schnapps' show altogether? Organize a boycott and get him fired.
-
The rest of this game should be telling of the mental makeup of this team. Traditionally this is where we implode on both sides of the ball.
-
Game's starting to get away from us...
Penalties late in the game worry me
-
I don't understand what just happened. I feel warm and tingly inside?
-
This team's goal is evidently to hemorrhage fans
-
I mean at least they made it easy for them to score, that was considerate.

1- I don't really care if Marrone is arrogant, delusional or normal- if he gets us 9+ wins I'll be a fan.
2- This is really bottom-feeding reporting by LaCanfora. Poor Rodak is probably softly weeping into his artisan quilt murmuring "I said it first" over and over again.
3- No one will remember this article if we beat the Bears...until we lose a game and then it will immediately become relevant again.

I'd rather have a drumline

was he even mentioned before the news broke?
Nope. But I agree, he wins the thread.

Hard to respect the guy who leaves his pregnant girlfriend for another woman
Bridget Moynahan to boot

Each time Joe B answers a question in one of his segments on WGR, I cringe.
For those saying he has a bright future nationally, I strongly disagree.
He has a very difficult time explaining his observations. His analysis is usually limited to good or bad, rarely why.
Most of the time he will say something along the lines of, "player x is developing well" but he absolutely NEVER goes into why or how that is.
The people who post in here that believe Joe B has a strong work ethic have heard that "fact" spoken on air or notice his suit and tie, but I bet few could cite actually situations where he seemed to have a real unique take or observation on a player.
I formed that opinion from several interviews. The interview that comes to mind presently would be his analysis on the Chris Williams signing. I thought he did a good job of explaining his opinions. He also seems to be one of the only guys around who comes off as engaged and putting forth an effort to be something other than self-serving or aggressively cynical.

That Benigni guy knows zilch. He placed sources on both sides of Golisano's bid and then just said "conflicting reports." Awful journalist.
-
Thanks for this thread. I wish every thread here was as informative
-
downright embarrassing - any story is broken nationally before the local guy has a clue. Guaghan and Sal are sensible and know football, Joe B is laughable- his ratings, to his eyes, what football experience knowledge does Joe B have? Seems like his opinion or "professional" eyes are no more professional than any of us.
What in your eyes would constitute a professional? Do you think the rest of the guys covering the sport have gone to some special "professional" school that entitles them to an opinion? I like Joe B. He backs up his analysis with reasoning (right or wrong) and that's really all you can ask of someone.
If you want to see a realm in which there are very few "professionals" actually doing the reporting on the sport, look at people covering MMA. That sport has so many unqualified people writing about it that it's maddening.

I say EJ gets the first half of the season before the panic sets in that things could be slipping away from us. If we're 4-4 or better Orton stays on the bench. Still, I'm going with over; I don't see us better than 4-6 at the 10 game mark.
-
It should be the full season, but I could see the FO and coaches panic and stick Orton in there midway through the season if we're 3-5 or worse.
How good does that Sheppard for Hughes trade look now

That's ridiculous- in that event it would have been for 2 seasons of production versus a player who we would have cut
By your logic, I could trade Tuel for Peyton Manning, but the trade would be worthless unless Manning re-signs… yeah that makes sense
