Jerry has been back to his best this year after a couple of so-so seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general they're doing more stunting with Murphy/Shaq, and rushing 4 in more creative ways. Murphy and Hughes aren't dropping into coverage a lot, but when they are it's actually disrupting passing lanes, and milano/edmunds have been creating pressure.

Yes but it's so frustrating when the pieces in offense stink. Only legit playmaker is McCoy and they don't give him the ball enough. Also Harper Valley middle school has a better playbook so that may be a slight issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice to see after the slow start to begin the season. Speaking of DVOA: 'In particular, Arizona plummeted on offense, from -31.3% to -39.9%. That puts the Cardinals into rare territory as one of the ten worst offenses we've ever tracked through seven games. But the Cardinals still can't even come close to the impotence of the Buffalo Bills. Buffalo's offensive DVOA stayed relatively constant after the Indianapolis blowout, going from -53.4% to -53.2%. But most of the worst offenses we've ever tracked weren't staying constant around Week 7 -- they were starting to come back from their horrendous starts, slowly improving their ratings. Which means that the 2018 Buffalo Bills are now the worst offense in DVOA history, at least through seven games.' https://www.footballoutsiders.com/dvoa-ratings/2018/week-7-dvoa-ratings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it part of the plan to switch punters 1 week before the season started? (I'm kidding), but you can't honestly think it was part of the plan to be starting a 35 year old washed up guy off his couch whose only been on the team for a few days in week 8 (Monday Night) against the NE Patriots.

McDermott inherited a team that was 7th in the NFL in scoring and had the fewest turnovers of any team since the merger thru 15 games played in 2016. Best offense the Bills had fielded in 25 years. And less than a year and a half in they are on pace to be not just the worst offense in the league but possibly the worst in the league in the last 75 years.

Meh. Both Rosen and Darnold have higher INT% than Allen. All the rookie QBs have sub-40 QBR if you believe in that kind of stat. Why only look at the bad? Allen's got higher Yards/Completion than Brees, Brady, Cousins, and Luck. When he gets back maybe they should look at getting him more attempts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were making the case the Bills horrid offensive numbers should be laid at the feet of Peterman. I posted something to show that was not the case. It's just a historically bad offense for several reasons including bad QB play. Edited October 25, 2018 by 26CornerBlitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
