Beast Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I predict 2 tipped passes by the d-line that we intercept. Fitz throws a low ball and that is not a good recipe against our front 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackFergy Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I think we all need to chill out and hope for a win. By one point or 20. As McDermott always says, stay humble. Don’t start counting sacks, INT’s, 300 yd games. Just play your best game, execute, and play 60 minutes. I feel nervous with all this “guaranteed win” and “they’re a JV squad” crap. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel nervous with all this “guaranteed win” and “they’re a JV squad” crap. No kidding. There are multiple posts discussing whether or not the team should sit Josh and/or other starters in the 4th Q, if/once the Bills are so far ahead it is laughable. I'm thinking, where was this talk before the Pats* game? It's an NFL inter-division game. There is a VERY good chance it will be close and low scoring. And while I know fans losing focus likely has no impact on the team, sometimes it (irrationally) feels as though it does. Don't be like a Yankee/Pats* fan. Stay humble. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackOrton Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 1 hour ago, Boatdrinks said: Again, not misleading. It’s one metric focused on a specific aspect of offense: scoring TDs when in the red zone. Not understanding what the metric is doesn’t make it misleading. Anyone who points to the metric as meaning anything but what it actually indicates would be wrong, but not mislead into doing so. Scoring TDs gets more difficult as the offense gets closer to the goal line as the defense doesn’t have much ground to cover. Hence the reason for the stat. It is what it is and nothing more. If you followed the conversation, I initially stated that I don’t think we’ll score a lot of touchdowns. Someone else brought up that stat and stated that’s why they disagreed. Follow the conversation 1 hour ago, Boatdrinks said: Turnovers and sacks are part of the reason for the low point total. 3rd down conversions are pretty good overall relative to the rest of the league, so you can discount that one. Fix the first two, combine it with your already strong red zone TD % and the problem should be fixed. There’s no lol about it. It’s just using stats to show where the problem lies. The Bills offense moves the ball well, but suffers from self inflicted wounds that lower scoring. That’s an easier fix than struggling to convert third downs, poor red zone TD % etc. The Bills are 24th in 3D conversions, so no. ”Fixing turnovers and sacks and third downs and we’ll score a lot” is terrible analysis. Might as well just say play better and we’ll play better. Maybe we can try to complete more passes, run for more yards, break more tackles and get more first downs in our quest to fix our offensive woes.

And a Bills loss tommorow would obliterate all of this excitement and enthusiasm we've built so far this season. In some ways we have little to gain and nearly everything to lose.

No need to follow the conversation, you called the stat misleading. It isn’t. It’s exactly what it sounds like it is. My mistake on the 3rd down conversions. The stat the Bills offense ranked highly in was total first downs ( 8th) , not 3rd down conversions. They move the football well. You are massively oversimplifying the analysis to disregard it. The Bills issues are mostly on them, not anything their opponents have done. The sacks and INTs have been largely on Allen rather than exceptional play by the defense. He just needs to make better decisions and live to fight another down. You make it sound like the Bills offense is a hopeless mess, needing improvement in every area when the numbers bear out a different conclusion. They don’t have that far to go to bring that scoring total up. Edited October 20, 2019 by Boatdrinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills should win this game, but it’s a week to week league and one win or loss won’t define the season on its own. The Pats* lost at Miami the last two seasons. No reason to lose, but they did.

If he finishes the season as he's going now .... in a NY minute. It would depend of course on what he wants for it, but I'd sure pull up a chair to the negotiating table and say "what are you thinking of?" Even if he loses a step, he's such a smart player now it's like the final years of Jim Leonhard, he makes up for it being smart. But that's the real problem with being 'Zo's age - easier to get injured, harder to come back. So let's finish the season first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a frameshift in your viewpoint to appreciate it. There is a fish known as the Dolphin. Since consumers don't want to chow down on Flipper, it shows up in restaurants called "Mahi-Mahi" or "Dorado". So to love those "Squish the Fish!" chants, the subtle concealed put-down must be fully appreciated. First, Bills fans are stating that the Dolphins Team are not, in fact, marine mammals closely related to humans who drink Mother's Milk just like we do, but a lowly Coryphaena gill-breather that lays eggs like a chicken. Second, they are saying these lowly creatures have the short lifespan appropriate to their species (2-4 yrs vs 40 years), and are due for a squishin'. Thus, Bills fans who chant "Squish the Fish" are erudite wordsmiths with a turn for phylogeny, and should be admired as the refined folding-table jumpers that the rest of the NFL has come to admire. As a perceptive and attractive young lady, it is also possible you lack the historical perspective to fully appreciate this chant. When I think of ten freakin' years of getting our Bills butts whipped 20 straight times through the 70s, then 2 years of W-L splits followed by 10 more losses in the subsequent 5 years, Well. In addition to "sucks to be us sometimes" and "Why yes, I do suffer from BBFS (Battered Buffalo Bills Fans Syndrome), why do you ask?" all I can say is: SQUISH THE FISH!

Well, perhaps I can shed some light on the subject. I lived in the Boston area for a few years in the late 80's. The Pats* had basically stunk for many years. At that time you could stroll down Commonwealth ave firing a machine gun and not hit a Pats* fan. The Giants were the area's favorite NFL team, judging from the conversations I had with many sports fans.
