This game bores me. I know that's not a popular opinion. This is what college football is for if that's your thing.

 

 

EXACTLY. Turned it off at half

In other news, Jeremy White praising that garbage product from last night.


Who needs defense?

 

:lol:

 

 

Through 3 weeks (plus last night), the average points scored per team/per game is 22.

 

For all of 2017 (regular season), the average points scored per team/per game was 23.

 

I think we saw two very good QBs on display last night.  I don't know what the statistics for average yards of offense/team are - but my guess is that teams are definitely moving the ball more (as NFL defenses continue to be castrated).

 

The difference with teams with good QBs is more touchdowns and less FGs/turnovers in the red zone - hence the higher score last night.

 

There was also some ****ty officiating last night that contributed to keeping drives alive.

Sean Mcvay IMO has easily taking over the most brilliant offensive mind in football.

Agreed.....he opens up the playbook, uses his gunslinger Goff and has receivers who can get separation and actually catch the ball.  I know Marquise Goodwin is always injured, I wish we would have kept him.....it sure would be sweet seeing Josh and Goodwin

Stop.  No one was pounding the table for Cousins.

 

I wanted Cousins (I'm not a pounding the table type).  When I saw how much he signed for that dampened my enthusiasm.  No way could we do that.

 

I like Josh Allen, but it seems pretty fan homer to be all Josh Allen >>>  Cousins (perhaps that's the point, to be a loud fan homer?). 

 

Allen lit up the fan base with his TD run and his hurdle and his TD dive.  Right now Daboll is scheming lots of short quick passes for him, and that's appropriate.  But Allen passed for 165 yds last Sunday, 209 the Sunday before.  Don't you think you might want to wait and see if he develops into a 300-400 ypg accurate passer before issuing the proclamation?

 

We had more run game and we stopped the run well last Sunday.  The Vikes D did NOT look good last night and neither did their run game, so now I'm "gotta wait and see" on that too.  Are we good or were they bad?

 

One thing right now McVay >>>> DiFillipo

would the ones criticizing the play last night be upset if the Bills had that kind of offensive production?

 

No I'll enjoy any Bills win no matter how it happens. But watching other games with zero defense is boring. The Vikings look like a poorly coached team. They never put their hands up to stop the ball even when they have perfect coverage. That has nothing to do with new rules, I think they might just be a bad team.

Fair enough but I thought the game was exciting to watch. I think you're right about Vikings....Their defense was supposed to be much better

I wasn’t clear in the IP 

 

Actually after a few Blitz blitz blitz plays by both teams to start the 3rd the game was still entertaining enough to watch to the end

The league can’t win.  We got to a game last night with two good QBs lighting up the scoreboard and people complain that “there’s no defense any more” or “the rules”.  But if it was a 13-10 snoozefest, we’d be hearing about how there is crisis due to the lack of competent QBs or that Thursday night football is destroying the NFL.  

 

Here’s a thought:  Maybe Goff and the Rams are just really good.

Exactly, game ends up high scoring with tons of offence and the "self proclaimed football purists" are mad cause there was no defence, or no hard earned rushing yards.

 

Game ends up as a 13-10 defensive battle and people are complaining that is was a boring game where no one could get anything going and they need to just get rid of Thursday night football altogether.

 

The only way I see a game like last night as being bad is if it was a one sided blowout. But with 2 good QBs going back and forth lighting up the scoreboard, it makes it a fun game.

I enjoyed watching Goff drop dimes. I didnt enjoy watching the defenses miss tackles, mistime jumps, and fail to make plays on the ball. Bad defense is boring. It's why I don't watch college football.

This is completely wrong.

Here’s what I remember: A few reasonable folks were saying, “Hey, instead of using all these draft picks to trade up for an unproven qb in the draft, let’s use those picks to strengthen the other positions and just sign Cousins as a FA.”  It wasn’t a bad idea, although it was never very likely to happen, for a number of reasons.  If that was “pounding the table” for Kirk Cousins, then OK, whatever you say.  

 

And by the way, Cousins is a good QB.

A lot of “no defense” comments. Remember that both Rams starting CB’s, Talib and Peters didn’t play. That kind of matters.

 

There’s always been offensive and defensive teams in the league. I’m not sure why last night’s game is a big deal.

Peters played.

Were they a bad defence because they are just bad or was it because the offence was good and mad them look worse?

Just really bad. They are starting to look like that Bears win we had a couple years ago lol. That was supposed to be a strong division, but it's not shaping up that way this year.

Again youre still wrong. People were dropping 30 page threads drooling over Cousins. Cousins is decent in games that dont matter. Cousins is garbage when it counts, he is anti clutch. Im so happy our front office didnt fall for the Cousins ruse. No matter how hard some fans banged the table for him

Cousin's *might* be a starter in the NFL, but a starter at that price? He needs to be a good starter. That game was amazing, but he's put the ball on the ground 4 times in 2 games.

Cousins played on a level the Bills have not seen since Jim Kelly in that game Thursday night.

 

He was notably worse in our game against Minnesota.   He had an off-day that day, which contributed heavily to our win, along with the fact that Minnesota is not nearly as good as people thought they would be this year.

 

They remind me of our win against Atlanta last year.
