    Hank had it right “Just keep matriculating the ball down the field, boys,”




    We should really try this approach a lot more.

    Take the pressure off Josh he will play for years.

    Our defense would love it as well.

    Ball control and ball protection very important.

    Our approach should be ......... you get a ball, you get ball, you get a ball, you get a ball ......... spread the wealth baby!

    Teams with a better defense such as the Jets you gotta punch em in the mouth a bit (slow down that pressure) .... use the bigger backs .... I wish we could have seen more of Murray and Harris myself.

    Spread it around keep em off balance ..... and you bastards (our opponents) don't get any when we do that.


    Never lock in on one guy at any point in the game ..... when you are passing the rock.


    **** this game is easy when you think about it.


    Side note: Floyd is playing great and was a key pickup.

    Also give me more of Rapp I don't like what I'm seeing from Poyer.

    You mean throw to the 15 yard down the field / wide-open player versus double coverage 40 yards down the field, Josh wanted stats and stomp. It cost us the game versus taken what given which keeps on offense.

    So... I'm going to conditionally agree. However the metrics sort of disagree. Josh has been the best or second best player against replacement player at QB in the league for 4 years. (legit, him and mahomes dominate that stat), I'll leave this number for you to consider.

    Josh had one bad game and one good game, he averaged 6.5 yards per attempt, which btw is way under his career average (his rookie year was the only year averaging that low) in those two games, and threw the ball 78 times.

    i'm going to weight this comparison toward the RB argument by NOT including all our backs, but only including James Cook.

    James cook has average 5.8 yards a carry, at 29 caries (the bills as a whole are averaging 4.9 yards per carry at 57 carries).


    meaning it's far more inefficient to run the ball then it is to pass it, even when you consider the disasterous night against the jets. That said these numbers are part of why I hate stats. Football doesn't really have enough plays for advanced metrics to matter much, and the success or failure of a play is a lot more dependent on situation... furthermore running opens up passing opportunities and passing does the same for running.

    BTW: josh is still our 2nd leading rusher.
    My wife told me that if I had a dollar for every girl who found me unattractive, girls would find me VERY attractive.

    MY WIFE SAID THAT!!!
