ExWNYer Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 2 hours ago, SlimShady'sSpaceForce said: Did anyone else catch Kyle call this a trap game? why? arent trap games against teams with losing records? The Bills lost to the Raiders in Cali because the Bills has a lead at the half and the OC though running the ball the entire second half was smart. And then Tyrod couldn’t make the passes to keep / secure the win. The catchy 'trap game' moniker was proven to be a false narrative years ago. It's just statistically not true: "Using Pro-Football-Reference’s wonderful game finder, I observed every game where a team above .500 played a below .500 team over the past 10 seasons (2002-2011). Over 1359 games, the above .500 team won 79.5% of the time. We must compare the above .500 team’s win percentage in trap games to this base rate of 79.5% in order to see if good teams lose at a statistically significantly higher rate. Limiting the sample to our trap game definition (n=515), the above .500 team won 80.5% of the time, a full percentage point higher than in the full sample. Far from a losing more frequently, as we would expect by the trap game logic, good teams tend to do even better against worse teams the week before they play a good team. However, this difference is not statistically significant: a difference of means t-test yields a t-value of just 0.60. So we fail to reject the null hypothesis that good teams have a different win percentage in trap games than they do in any game against a sub-.500 team." https://harvardsportsanalysis.wordpress.com/2012/11/22/debunking-the-trap-game-and-letdown-game-myths/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsfaninSB Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 “Fromm is the quarantine QB so he’s never at practice” What a weird place Fromm is in. I wonder if this is a blessing for him. If it were normal times he might be on the PS at best. It must be kind of depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the issue with the Titans is not so much how many are infected as trying to prevent the spread. A couple more test positive each day, so if those who were already infected, but still hadn't tested positive were around teammates they could have kept the spread going. I think they will wait until they can go several days without any new positives before allowing players back into the facility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the biggest Blunders in Frsno State history. Well I look at it like this....it's what he wanted and probably would have been better for him as he had not much help at the WR position in Wyoming. However if he would have ended up in Fresno then he maybe would have gotten to be the #1 overall pick and the Bills would not have been able to land him. So all in all perhaps it worked out for the best for the Bills and for him in the long run also because he is clearly showing that he is a star and he WILL get the big $$ fairly soon.

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Am I in the minority in wanting to see Allen use his legs more in this game? The Jets game was a bit overkill with the running. But these last two games Allen has barley used his legs at all. Which was fine when we were scoring. But that second half of the Rams game felt like it was begging for a couple Allen runs to get the chains moving and stop the 29-0 run the Rams went on. 8 hours ago, CEN-CAL17 said: I was born and raised in Fresno and watched all of Carrs games, mostly in person.

I think they're focused more on keeping it as a threat than an actual major part of the game plan. I can't say I dislike that because he's not going to be able to do that forever.

I can't say I dislike that because he's not going to be able to do that forever. I agree. But I am talking more when the offense stalls and Allen hasn't used his legs in like three or four straight series. And not necessarily called Allen runs. The Jets game was way overkill. Especially that first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
