Glad he’s out of the AFCE?

No HC bats 1.000 Do you also give credit when he’s made good/great decisions or do you just cherry-pick the bad stuff where talking heads say something publicly? His win-loss record is what it is.

So we’re suggesting a 20-something year old rookie CB after his second game is engaging in calculated “PsyOps”, rather than just talking excitedly after a game like 20-something players tend to do? I’ll take the Under.

Yep. Rookie mistake.

In response to your added comment, and back to OP’s original intent, isn’t it an intriguing thought as to whether the Chiefs health over time is a matter of luck or better conditioning? I think it’s fascinating and I can guarantee that every team has some analytical wonk on staff who pores over injury data, because, as they say, the most important ability is availability.

My point isn’t to try to get to root cause immediately, but rather to determine an objective measure to see if 1) the Bills have a trend that is improving, degrading, or staying steady, and 2) to see how the Bills compare to the rest of the league. We know all our team’s injuries by heart and how much they hurt, but how are they in relation to everyone else? That helps you understand if the Bills are an anomaly. If they aren’t, then using injuries as an excuse is just that— an excuse.

What would be interesting is a trend of some sort of meaningful injury stat over time, e.g., starting player games lost per year by team, because you’re right, in any year a team can have sh*t luck, but if there is a persistent trend over X years, that might point to a chronic problem.

Eh, if I can get a sensible chuckle out of a pompous sourpuss like you, my post was not in vain.

Haha… my apologies I guess. I don’t scour every thread to make sure my posts are original. How did the original do?

I wore a Bills shirt to Foxboro to watch Pats-Falcons yesterday, knowing I wasn’t going to see much of the game.

Please don’t let it be an underwhelming “Who the hell is that?” Pretty please??

Haters gonna hate. And you’re obviously one of them.

Which is…?

So, would you rather root for talented ne’er-do-wells like the Chiefs (Hunt, Rice, etc, etc) or “process guys” like the Bills draft?

Attacking D vs passive D.
