You sure?

I agree, we might finally have three WRs who are worth having on the field.

Two fumbles and a horrible INT with a penchant for sailing throws. I don't understand why Hackett is conservative with his play calling.

It could be a groin but it looks like he keeps holding his hip.

I don't mind this challenge. Those time outs aren't going to matter if they Saints keep marching down field. They need a stop and it looked like a bad spot.

That was spectacular.

Even when there's no flag they throw a flag.

It looks good until the green QB makes a big mistake. I don't blame Hackett for a conservative game plan with the players he has.

I'm not arguing the O is better than the D, I just expect way more from the D. And yeah, they have way more talent than the O on the field right now.

Because nobody dislikes an aggressive D. They're fine dying by the sword. Bottom line is the D gives up big plays, lots of yards, too many penalties and lots of points every game. They should be complaining about the D as well as the O. People see the D play well for a few drives and go, "The D came to play!" and excuse all the drives & points they give up the rest of the game. The D has all the talent yet comes up small almost every week. The O has a 3rd string, practice squad QB playing and they blame the offensive coordinator.

Just noticed the team I'm playing in FF has Brees this week. Talk about it hurting twice as much.

Yeah, you might have noticed him breaking up a TD pass earlier.

Geez, first drive of the 2nd half and the announcers are already giving the Bills the "they play tough every week" crap. All we need now is Meredith singing, "turn out the lights, the party's over."

You don't want them to call play action when they have a running game like they do? Yeah, okay.

Graham might want to consider actually running hard on go routes. And yeah, Thad needs to hold onto the ball.

They're going to have to go up top to get them off the LoS.

They actually improved their field position by turning the ball over.

Nicely done D.

tuel...time...

The greatest invention isn't even on that list: Scientific Method. I'd put Democracy somewhere on there too.

Well I guess it bodes well for them that they're playing another 3 win team at home this weekend.

You just mentioned them in the same sentence.

The Chiefs D isn't just "good", it's dominant. It's completely negating opponent's offenses. This isn't college football where teams can put together a bunch of wins against horrible programs. Sure, their schedule isn't difficult but to do what their D has been doing over half a season in the NFL is impressive. That being said, they're not a complete team and the Bills can certainly beat them at home if the offense can manage not to turn the ball over.

I quoted that stat yesterday in another thread but I'm beginning to think it's wrong. In looking up both Jackson's and Spiller's numbers individually. Jackson averages 4.4 ypc on first and 10 while Spiller averages 3.9. Obviously the stat you posted includes all distances, not just 1st and 10 and also includes the QBs running with the ball but it still doesn't seem right. Nonetheless Jackson's and Spiller's average on 1st and 10 is perfectly fine and goes against all the "why are we running on 1st down!" cries we've heard all year. They're ending up, on average, of 2nd and less than 6 which is what you hope for.
