His underlying data was always ahead of his box score stats. When that happens eventually things catch up. He was unlucky more than bad in previous years. Stud. Kinda the opposite of when we signed Addison and I said bad move because his box score stats were outperforming the underlying data. And that never lasts long term.

But the Bills knew how good he was when healthy. This isn’t directed at you at all, but I think a lot of fans see unevenness over the course of a season and chalk it up to inconsistency when it’s really injury. I’ll never forget Bills fans being down on Robert Woods and Chris Hogan in their last seasons here for—respectively—a decline in explosiveness and drops, but then it turned out that Woods was playing with a torn groin for half a season and Hogan with torn wrist ligaments for more than half the season. The Bills never reported the extent of injuries once all season, and only at the end of the season would they list Woods as “probable (leg).” That was back in the Wilson era no?

Simon Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Did you know that over the last couple games that the Bills have had 132 defensive snaps and Ed Oliver has been on the field for 112 of them? That is a DT playing a whopping 85% of defensive snaps. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastport bills Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 I have so much appreciation for how great he has played after getting paid. He’s an all pro and the lynchpin of our defense. Losing Jones has hurt but with Eddie being a leader and providing pressure up the middle, Floyd and AJ have gotten sacks and pressures.Settle and Joseph have been effective run stoppers, Hopefully we can get something out of Miller in these crucial games coming up.

Breakout Squad Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Oliver has been fantastic this year. He should be a Pro Bowl starter and possibly 1st team All-Pro. I’m ecstatic that Oliver is improving and excelling after his big contract. Glad we re-signed Oliver over Tremaine 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastport bills Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Eddie sets the tone for the physicality that our defense has been playing with. He provides the up the middle pressure we must have because we’re not getting consistent edge rusher pressure. He gets sacks and he’s been available every game. Anyone who doesn’t acknowledge his value to this team and the impact of his resigning are not dealing with reality and should be dismissed.
