    I think some of the fans here are completely clueless about how good the Rams' offense is. 

     

    Edmunds took virtually every wrong read he could take.   When he did fill the hole, he often missed the tackle.     

     

    Watched him the whole second half as I was so pissed at how defenseless the Bills were with the run up the gut...

    Davis runs straight into and drives him back.  I think he was being just as physical as db.  But I'd rather be happy than right.

     

    The WR has the right to run his route in the first five yards.   It was close, but the correct call.   

     

    What WAS surprising is the flag was thrown, certainly depriving the Rams the win...

    The defense has to figure itself out. We are suddenly looking like a bottom 10 unit, and of course just in time for the offense to look a top 5 unit. Bills can never have both playing well simultaneously. 

     

    Edmunds was a tire fire today.      The middle of the field was defenseless...

    FiveThirtyEight - Josh Allen Article

    Stats are for losers.   They don't give you context about how a play unfolds, obstacles overcome or competitive situation at critical points in time.

     

    For example, the drive Josh led following Miami's go ahead score in Q3 to make it 20-17:   

    • First play--47 yard completion to Diggs
    • Second play--7 yard completion to Moss
    • Third play--10 yard penalty on Morse
    • Fourth play--Allen sacked for 4 yard loss
    • Fifth play--24 yard completion to Beasley
    • Sixth play--Singletary up the middle for 10 yards
    • Seventh play--Singletary up the middle for 2 yards
    • Eighth play--pass incomplete to Beasley
    • Ninth play--TOUCHDOWN to Gabe Davis

    The stat line says Allen was 4-5 for a net 80 yards and a TD.    That's clearly good.   But even better--and the most impressive thing about Josh on that drive--is that (1) he made a statement throw on the very first play of the drive, (2) he overcame a third and 24 with a great read on the Beasley toss, and (3) he put the TD in the only place it could be thrown and trusted his WR.

     

    Those are all things that stats freaks like FiveThirtyEight or PFF can't evaluate by just looking at the game log.  And why these kind of analyses miss the point of the human element so often...
