All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
If Philly is anything like last year, they would abuse Miami in the trenches. Not sure about this year but I think Philly takes them.
Gotta agree with this. Especially if Liam Eichenberg sees game action against the Eagles, then you can bet Tua will be eating his food through a straw the rest of his days
KC and Philly haven’t looked as dominant and 1 could argue Miami is better than KC…if the defending champ afterglow is not in the equation.
Yep.
KC struggled to get past NY Jets. Mahomes had one of his worst games as a pro in NJ and is starting this season the worst of his career. Of course, the level he has maintained is above every other QB in the NFL, so his "starting this season the worst of his career” is still pretty damn good.
Larry Holder of The Athletic, published “QB EPA ranking” every week. This is what he observed from Mahomes....
The New York Jets gave Mahomes more fits than perhaps he anticipated. His 63.6 passer rating in Week 4 was the fifth-lowest single-game rate of his career with one touchdown and two interceptions. Yes, the bar set for Mahomes breaks through the roof. Still, he’s off to the worst start of his NFL career in EPA rate and passer rating:
Mahomes EPA per dropback (Weeks 1-4)
2018: 0.41
2019: 0.42
2020: 0.31
2021: 0.44
2022: 0.30
2023: 0.16
Mahomes Passer rating (Weeks 1-4)
2018: 126.5
2019: 120.4
2020: 114.1
2021: 119.6
2022: 108.4
2023: 92.0
This is what he observed about Josh Allen....
Josh Allen played the best game of his NFL career in Week 4 in terms of EPA rate, passer rating and completion percentage. He compiled the 34th perfect passer rating since 2000 during the Bills’ throttling of the Dolphins. So it makes sense that his 0.67 EPA rate and 84.0 completion percentage stand as single-game career highs. It’s the second time Allen completed more than 80 percent of his throws this season (83.8 percent, Week 2 vs. Raiders), which has led to him leading the NFL in this stat through four weeks.
This is what Alan Getzenberg of ESPN, observed of the Bills offense....
The Buffalo Bills' season started with a mistake-filled overtime loss to the New York Jets where the offense scored just 16 points.
How things have changed. After the team’s 48-20 win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 4, the Bills have won three in a row and now have the second-highest scoring offense in the NFL (33 points per game) -- making some history along the way.
….snip…
Despite the subpar Week 1 performance, the Bills became just the sixth team to score at least 135 points and allow fewer than 60 points through the first four games of a season. The previous five teams to do it all went on to play in the Super Bowl. Quarterback Josh Allen is leading the offensive explosion with the team scoring 35 or more points in three straight games -- one more would tie the franchise record set in 2004 and 2021.
