Look at Allen's efficiency metrics under Brady... Literally off the chart in terms of EPA when disrupted. Allen is a unicorn but Brady isn't forcing him to pull out his "do something only Josh Allen can do" card two or three times a drive anymore...he is only asking him to do it a few times a game and it's leading to a lot better offensive flow and a lot smoother looking offense. Bills still move the ball at will, they just don't rely on Allen making crazy plays to do it as much. https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2024/9/20/24247411/buffalo-bills-oc-joe-brady-exploiting-achilles-heel-of-nfl-defenses-analysis

Also passed Andy Reid for win percentage...of active NFL coaches with 100 or more games, McDermott has the highest win percentage. Like him, don't like him...doesn't matter...when you have winning percentages like Belichick and Reid, you are doing something right and are damn good at coaching.

I could see the Chargers moving again. Los Angeles HATES them...when every game is a road game, it makes it tough to stay in a city long term.

So a dude is going to choose to take a practice squad check over a guaranteed minimum of 3 weeks of NFL game checks? I won't say there is no chance, but you might have a better chance of pigs flying before that would happen.

If Allen maintains this mindset and philosophy and doesn't get impatient the Bills will be almost impossible to beat. Safeties are the RB of defense. Can plug and play different guys with not much loss many times.

What about Casey Threehill? Yeah those 5 TDs by Burrow in 4 games in his Super Bowl year really showed swagger... That's a one game total for Allen in the playoffs.

Jags are building a new stadium and will need a place to play for the 2025 or 2026 season... There was talk that the NFL was testing the Jags playing in London 2 weeks in a row to test how much of an advantage it would be for them to be there waiting while the other team has to come over on a normal week.. Unfortunately the Bills ended up as the team that got chosen to get screwed by the NFL for it. If the NFL thought it was OK, there was discussion that they would play their home games that season the stadium was being built in London and would either play all their home games first to start the seasona and then go back to Jacksonville as their base for the road games or do all their road games starting in Jacksonville as the base and then go to London for a few months and play all their home games aa the travel back and forth would be too much for them on a week to week basis. Not sure if that is still a viable option or not at this point.

Maybe, but that doesn't have the quote.

It's about what Mayfield said on a podcast. What does being AI generated have to do with what he said? He said it.

Speaking of Oliver...this was pretty great stuff off of Chris Long's show, breaking down Oliver's game against the Fins.

2pm. Schools in OP, Blasdell, Hamburg and West Seneca looking at half days again 😂

Meh...come on man...if you weren't a mod I would have to say this is a troll post. 🤣🤣

This was about Tom Brady, not Joe Brady...updated title to remove any ambiguity

Wow...Mayfield dropping some info... Says the team was stressed out by Brady the last year especially and that if he told his OC Byron Leftwich that he didn't like a play during the week and it was called in a game that he would intentionally throw the ball at the receiver's or running back's feet to show him who was in charge/in control of things and his displeasure. Also appears it might be related to Brady not respecting him enough since he was 2 years older than Leftwich. Brady apparently isn't the squeaky clean guy the media tries to make him out to be... Wonder how much other stuff like this goes on that you don't hear about... Baker Mayfield suggests Tom Brady 'stressed out' team On the podcast, Mayfield said, "The building was a little bit different with Tom in there. Obviously, playing-wise, Tom is different. He had everybody dialed in, high-strung environment, so I think everybody was pretty stressed out." Mayfield went on to say, "You hear some of the stories about if he didn’t like a certain play call and he didn’t like it throughout the week and they still call it in the game, there might have been a throwaway on purpose or throwing it at the running back or receiver’s feet. There were a lot of mind games going on." https://www.yahoo.com/sports/buccaneers-qb-baker-mayfield-says-152739052.html

this happens frequently in the NFL, not really news anymore...would actually be news if it DIDN'T happen at this point.

Meaningless this far out. Wait til Monday afternoon to really have an idea what will be happening at 8pm at night with any real certainty, and then if it is still saying spotty showers, there still won't be any certainty since it could rain 20 miles away but not at all at the stadium.

It never is against the Bills or other good teams. When do the excuses stop?

Except in the playoffs unfortunately where they seem to score whatever they need to score.

Yes it is because he is the limiting force on their offense. He is the 4th best player ON HIS OWN OFFENSE after Hill, Waddle and Achane. Those players carry HIM, not the other way around. That's why when teams take the WRs out of the game when they press coverage and get rough with them to disrupt routes and timing and clog up the middle he looks like hot garbage. Because he can't beat you in other ways. His toolset is limited. And while he might be great at a few things those few things aren't enough when playing good teams that can take those away effectively and force him to do something else to beat you. How is this even an argument at this point? McDaniel runs a flawed offense predicated on 'tricking people" in large part because Tua acts like handcuffs on it and he can't win when they just have to line up and beat someone without all that. Stats are stats. Plenty of bad teams to pile stats up against. When he plays good teams his stats are average to below average CONSISTENTLY.

Yes their problem is Nathaniel Hackett.

no

Bills 27 Jags 23

huh?

Both of those games could go either way, IMO. Green Bay won with Willis last week, although it was really more in spite of Willis...they ran for over 250 yards against the Colts. I doubt they can do that against a very good front in Tennessee. I would expect a lot of 3rd and long situations for the Packers and Willis has been mostly brutal in those situations in the games I watched. Then again, Tennessee has Levis who seemingly is good for one back-breaking turnover a week that turns the tide of the game and turns it into a loss. I would expect a low scoring game and one that could be decided by a FG or by a defensive TD. Hard to really pick either team with confidence against that point spread, but if I *HAD* to, I would probably take Green Bay because I simply think they are the better team and can force Levis into more mistakes than GB will allow Willis to make. I could see it being similar to the game they played last week where they beat Indy 16-10. I would be inclined to take Zona with the points in the other game especially since they are at home and have looked very good offensively. Lions are honestly a better team but they seem to be kinda meh thru the first 2 weeks of the year needing OT to beat the Rams in a game they probably should have lost and then actually losing to the Bucs at home and not being very good offensively scoring only 16 points. Honestly, I think Zona might win that game straight up, so I would probably take Zona. That being said, Detroit certainly is a better overall team, but they haven't been playing like it yet this year.
