Our other receivers get more separation when Smokes on the field. Fact! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jauronimo Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I was pouring through some stats today and noticed a few things which I thought were interesting about our upcoming opponents: Chargers are 3rd in yards per game, 3rd in passing yards per game, and 10th in rushing yards per game but middle of the pack in points per game. Their red zone efficiency is 58% which is 21st in the league. Chargers defense is 11th ranked in terms of yards allowed per game but 9th worst in terms of points allowed per game. So how does a top offense and a solid defense translate to 3-7?!?!? A deeper dive shows the Chargers glaring weakness is in turnover differential. Chargers -3 on the year in turnover which is 11th worst in the league, however, they are average in committing turnovers. Their turnover differential issue is all due to lack of takeaways. They are the second worst in the league in generating takeaways. Pittsburgh meanwhile has the best turnover differential in the league. They have the most takeaways and 4th least turnovers. The Titans commit by far the fewest turnovers followed by Chiefs, Packers, and Stillers. This crazy differential in turnovers likely explains how an unremarkable Stillers offense and solid defense equals a perfect 10-0. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichRiderBills Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I dont have a link but Schefter said on NFL Live yesterday, despite being activated, Ekeler will not play this week, and not even sure about the following week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffeesforclosers Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 That's the chargers though. They find ways to be good and lose. The stripped interception return against NE in the AFC title game for one. And the 2010 Chargers who were statistically the most dominant offense and defense in the league, but lost 7 games due to historically awful Special Teams play and missed the post season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While 10th in total rushing yds per game, they are 20th in yards per carry. They aren't as successful running the ball as it may seem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chargers were never really in that game. Decent blueprint 187 and Miami frequently appear in the same sentence, never related to football Until now.

Yep, I agree with you. Living in SoCal, while I don’t know much specifically about the team, in general they seem like a snake bit organization. They just find, and even invent, ways to lose. They remind me of our bills during the bills drought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what "all that time off" means in this context? Arguably part of Browns problem is that he tried to come back too early for the KC game and wound up reinjuring/being ineffective. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I'd like for them to draft a player like Reggie Roberson. Another bigger (6' 200 lbs) speed demon is needed for the purposes of injuries.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 2 hours ago, YoloinOhio said: He’s day today day per mcdermott and almost never practices on Wednesdays so tomorrow and Friday will tell more. Not sure if it is a knee or ankle or both He just hurt his ankle in the last game. That’s a new injury. He went from foot to knee to ankle. I thought someone said the Bills were giving the players Thanksgiving off? Which I'm not sure is a good idea - giving the players an extra day off may have messed us up against Tenn - but then there's the "Family man" aspect so....

Hapless Bills Fan Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Geeze Whees today's injury report: Ford being still limited with ankle isn't what I'd like to see. Epenesa back full, Taiwan Jones and Knox Full, good. But what's with Norman being listed on the injury report with "illness"? And as for Dawson Knox, what is he this year, a walking injury report? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest news on this report is Smoke still not practicing. That’s big. Norman’s last “injury” was COVID, hence that designation. This has, thus far, been a lost year for Dawson’s Creek. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
