And Beasley ate that day with 11. Diggs only had 6 receptions for 48. Yes he needs to do better than 1 catch this weekend but I'm not expecting him to have 8-10 catches for 100+.

But there were other factors in both games beyond the lack of John Brown. That's irony, right? Tell you what, You First and show us how it's done. Again, as an unironic brainiac such as yourself must realize, there are other factors than John Brown involved in a win, such as we had against the Jets. I find your predictions amusing, and I now feel better about the Chargers game. Predictions are pointless without money behind them. I'm glad they amuse someone, that's what I was going for. I love the idea of throwing away negative data because it doesn't fit your narrative but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. Gabriel Davis has yet to show he can fill in for Brown. 3 minutes ago, The Wiz said: And Beasley ate that day with 11. Diggs only had 6 receptions for 48.

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 19 minutes ago, Buffalo_Stampede said: In the 2 games John Brown was ruled out the Bills faced 2 terrible defenses and averaged 17 points. Try to use your brain instead of calling people out. The Bills offense has struggled without John Brown. Predicting wins and losses whatever, some of it is to get people like you worked up. But facts remain the Bills offense isn't the same without John Brown. Obviously we would love to have him in the line up this week and next. But big picture it's more important to have him in January. Their are at least 22 players on the field every Sunday. Brown would only be a small reason why the Bills don't win. It was a half glass full/empty day for the Bills offense against the Jets. They didn't punt all day. Two would be TD's were taken off the board that majority of the time would have been scores 90% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point was they faced 2 of the worst defenses in the NFL without John Brown. "Two of the worst" The Titans D is currently #18 on points and #20 against the run. (I think they were actually ranked better than that at the point where we played them, Week 5) That's not saying they're a top D, but they aren't "one of the worst" either. And what's being pointed out to YOU is that John Brown was far from the sole factor influencing those games. You're keying on him as though nothing else matters. 11 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: And a 3rd coming on sunday Chargers D? It's not that bad. Points given up 24th, but 11th on yards - means turnovers/field position big factor. 12th vs pass, 15th vs run. Depends a lot on who's in there though.

Yeah Chargers not bad on rush YPG because 5th lowest # of attempts in the league They are pretty bad on YPA....taking out the rounding and recalculating, they're 27th there..... ....one slot above us, at 4.82. We're worse! They're 12th on pass ypg and 14th on pass attempts though. Doesn't seem like a bad pass D I'm looking for TOP stats. Something not adding up to me.

whatdrought Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I think Diggs will get a lot of use here. Cam Heyward may be out and Harris in the slot will be a tough matchup against Beasley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much pie or ?? 37 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: So assuming ford to IR soon will open up another roster spot... that would allow both Dodson and Dane Jackson if healthy to be on the 53 before Sunday I approve of this message. Edit: thinking about it though, if they have the full complement of DBs healthy, not sure why they would elevate Jackson. Think they would wait and see what Norman and Wallace look like for them. The player I'm keeping an eye on is Kumerow, because he was apparently taking some snaps with the 1's earlier this week, and John Brown is out. In his presser, McDermott mentioned McKenzie and Roberts having to step up but IMO we already did that experiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pressure to get him on the field or pressure to take the long term view. They likely aren’t making the playoffs, so no need to rush. But if he’s ready he’s ready i guess. When Singletary came back from his hamstring last year, the bills really eased him in slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
