TrueBlueGED Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 So..... yards gained on a Tuesday while wearing red underwear? :P I liked you more when you were doing pushups on Instagram! So where do the Bills rank in that? 10th in defense, 11th in offense, 10th overall. Will be interesting to see if there's any movement this week. Quote
Eleven Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 Everything that a Bills fan could have hoped for, happened this week. Quote
Hoss Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 Basically it's an efficiency rating that uses context and a league average. I find it to be a pretty reliable stat. In 2014 the top 16 teams in overall DVOA were 8-8 or better. The bottom 16 had only two teams with winning records. Every playoff team except for the Carolina Panthers (who finished 7-8-1) and Arizona Cardinals was in the top half of overall DVOA last season. The bottom five teams in DVOA last year were the bottom five teams in the league. Five of the top six teams in DVOA last year were the top five teams in the league. Quote
Weave Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 Everything that a Bills fan could have hoped for, happened this week. We got a quarterback? Quote
inkman Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 Everything that a Bills fan could have hoped for, happened this week. Correct. They didn't play. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 Another DVOA anecdote: Denver is currently #1 in defense, and Aaron Rodgers' halftime stat line is 8/12 for 37 yards. Quote

inkman Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) Another DVOA anecdote: Denver is currently #1 in defense, and Aaron Rodgers' halftime stat line is 8/12 for 37 yards. I have him in 2 fantasy leagues :( Edited November 2, 2015 by inkman Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 I have him in 2 fantasy leagues I have Cobb in my big money league, if it makes you feel any better. Quote
inkman Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 I have Cobb in my big money league, if it makes you feel any better. I had the Giants D as well. Ugh!! Quote

CallawaySabres Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 Looks like Tyrod and Karlos Williams are back along with Henderson and Miller. No sign of Percy and I don't think Sammy will make this Fins game. Gonna need a big run attack because our receivers ain't gonna cut it this week. Quote
That Aud Smell Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 I don't think Sammy will make this Fins game. in uniform today, but did not practice. rex seemed to indicate he was optimistic about him playing this sunday. Quote
qwksndmonster Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 Every time I check this thread, I get the sinking feeling that I'm going to watch the game on Saturday. ...or Sunday... Quote
Eleven Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 On a side note, I watched more non-Bills football than usual yesterday. I rarely watch NFL unless the Bills are playing, and I think I figured out why yesterday: This league is a total show. It's a billion dollar industry that cannot get referees to get it right. There are rules that make no sense. And it's WAY too easy to get a PI call. Quote
shrader Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 An undefeated weekend for Buffalo sports. Thank you Bills! Quote

There are rules that make no sense. And it's WAY too easy to get a PI call. It's sort of weird to realize how cruddy the product is to watch, generally speaking. There are moments (that Keenan Allen catch, for example), but, on balance, it's just ... not a good game to watch. I never watch baseball. Don't follow it. But I enjoyed watching the World Series much more than I did the SNF game last night. Now, of course, some of that is the atmosphere of the WS, but, just in general, baseball is still what it is, what it was. There's a leisurely pace to it. Down time. It made me remember how pleasant baseball can be to watch. The modern NFL? Cripes. It really is an unpleasant watching experience. If there weren't so much money involved in betting, fantasy, and gaming, I wonder where the league would be? Edited November 2, 2015 by That Aud Smell Quote
CallawaySabres Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 in uniform today, but did not practice. rex seemed to indicate he was optimistic about him playing this sunday. Unless he can actually make a difference, keep sitting him. He's just going to pull something else and sit for 3 more weeks. Having Karlos and Tyrod back should be enough to beat the fins sans Wake Quote
ubkev Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 I went home to NY this weekend, the Bills were on the bye so NASCAR was on TV. I didn't miss watching football at all. I'm not even sure I like football as a sport anymore. I like the Bills. They can single handedly make or break my Sunday. But I definitely don't watch football when they aren't on. Quote
nfreeman Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 I find watching the NFL unbearable without the DVR and the 30-second skip. With it, though, I still enjoy a good NFL game. Best case is having 2 NFL games going on the DVR's 2 tuners, flipping back and forth and using the 30-second skip to blow through all the commercials, referee breaks and other crapola. Quote
Brawndo Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 @AdamSchefter: Here we go: 49ers trading TE Vernon Davis to Denver for 6th- and 7th-round picks this year, and a 6th-round pick in 2017, sources tell ESPN. Not a bad price for Denver Quote

Not a bad price for Denver Great move for Denver. Davis isn't what he once was, but he light years ahead of what Denver has masquerading as TEs. Quote
darksabre Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 That is so good for my floundering fantasy team. :w00t: Quote
Claude_Verret Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 I find watching the NFL unbearable without the DVR and the 30-second skip. With it, though, I still enjoy a good NFL game. Best case is having 2 NFL games going on the DVR's 2 tuners, flipping back and forth and using the 30-second skip to blow through all the commercials, referee breaks and other crapola. That's how I've been viewing for years, otherwise it's unbearable. Since I don't do fantasy football and only gamble every once in awhile, really the only reason I still plan of spending some fall Sundays with the NFL is for an excuse to grill and drink some beers with friends and neighbors. Most of my neighbors aren't Bills fans and this season is holding true to form where I can safely turn on the red zone channel when the DVR has caught up at half time so as to keep everyone happy.
