This. It is terrible across the league.

Regarding our blitzes, Tannehill was awesome at negating them. He got to the line quickly, and went through long calls at the line that allowed him to see who was coming. That's why tempo matters so much, and it's why they got rid of Mariota. He was terrible at that, and it showed up in his sack rate (13.5 percent last year). I was really, really impressed by Tannehill last night. Good field manager, super accurate, and uses his legs well (good athlete). Bear in mind that we basically shut Henry down last night too.

I honestly think that if the play mattered, they would have overturned it. I think they just wanted to get out of there and the game, which was a total blowout by that point. That does happen.

I think it’s a mix of tanking and being sick of Bell.

Again, look at the performance of the player who preceded him on that team at the same position.

Apparently not. All I ask is that you consider questioning your narrative. The player who preceded him in the same offense was markedly worse.

Again, he literally led the league in passer rating last year. Some fans are waaaaay too attached to a narrative. Narratives can change.

Look at his stats since arriving in TN. He literally led the NFL in passer rating last year. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/T/TannRy00.htm

Why? Seriously. He’s a good story - paired with Gase, he floundered, but we all know how bad Gase is now. In a better situation, he’s showing why he was drafted so high.

Tannehill since coming to TN has been one of the three best QBs in the NFL. He is way beyond “competent” at this point.

No one can consistently rush the passer. No one to fear. Mind you, holding is out of control across the league and affecting every team.

Who cares? Bad d regardless

I think it’s more that the better team won. It’s not complicated.

This.

I still think the lack of a real pass rush is the key problem. Yes, the secondary sucked, but that can at least be explained by injury.

And his replacement ....

No holding is being called this year.

Honestly, he’s still pretty good. He’d be an upgrade, but not a process guy.

? - it was 100 percent a low, illegal hit.

The funny thing about fitz is that i think he’s a measurably better player now. Still streaky, of course.

Yes. The Bills were always goong to lose at least three games and possibly six given the brutal schedule.

No, they are pro-the better team. The Bills look like crap.

This. It is terrible.

Someone here said Saturday (Yolo, I think? Can't recall and I'm not looking it up). Anyway, whether it was Thursday or Saturday is utterly irrelevant. I didn't know, and I was alarmed by the inactive list. I overreacted. It's not like I'm constantly churning out conspiracy theories here, man!

How many times do I have to say "I was wrong" or "I was overspeculating" or "my bad"? Do I have to do a metaphorical walk of shame here? Christ.
