the 2014/2015 nfl thread v. R U RDY 4 SUM FOOTBAW?

Wow Devin Hester just broke the record for most return td's

He's doing everything this game

yeah dude is a beast. he's really taking our offense to the next level as our #4 WR with all the 4 WR sets we're doing. It's hilarious how Hester didnt catch a single pass for the Bears last year, and in an interview after the game he basically said cutler sucks and ryan actually spreads the ball around to everyone no matter if you're Julio Jones or an undrafted free agent.

And Jake Matthews back, I know it was the bucs, but they kept showing highlights of awesome blocks by him all game. we definitely needed him last game.

hopefully harry douglas is fine, good thing we have 9 days off now.
 
i loved the deon high step, i cried tears of joy.

Not looking good for your Chargers this Sunday bud. Ingram has been ruled out. Keenan Allen, Addae, and Attaochu are questionable.

That's not counting the two Olinemen that just returned after not practicing all week. Even if they play they're not going to be 100%. Bills Dline is going to feast on Rivers.
 
All signs point to a big run game from the Bills this week. But I thought the same last week and Jackson barely touched the ball, so who knows.

Chargers are average at stopping the run, and the weather Sunday is calling for 20mph winds and scattered thunder storms so both teams might be forced to run more than pass. Definite advantage for the Bills.
 
chargers always start hot, play lifeless until like week 14 or so, then get hot at the end of the season

both teams need to control the ball or they will lose. Sd does it in a different way then Buf, and I see Antonio Gates having another big game.

is the disparity between the Bills and chargers defense really that much different than the one between EJ Manuel and Phillip Rivers?

Chargers - 20
Bills - 17

how I see it
 
I was reading the bills forums and one of the posters said this i lot spit out my beer

Facts like Manuel's quarterbacking this season has been essentially as good as Rivers, the Bills are scoring more points and giving up fewer points than the Chargers, the Bills have better receivers and better running backs than the Chargers, and the Bills have a better defensive line than the Chargers.


So fuckin funny
 
let's compare rivers and manuel then...

qb rating
rivers 100.4
manuel 95.4
rivers has the edge but that's only a 5% difference. not much.

completion percentage
rivers 67.1
manuel 66.7
that's a difference of 0.5%. a wash.

yards
rivers 522
manuel 375
rivers has the edge, but...

yards per attempt
rivers 7.2
manuel 7.8
manuel is the more efficient passer.

tds
rivers 4
manuel 2
rivers has the edge.

ints
rivers 1
manuel 1
wash.

rushing
rivers 27/0
manuel 25/1
manuel has the edge.

fumbles
rivers 3
manuel 0
manuel has the edge.

i know you'll laugh and give some subjective, knee-jerk reaction, dwe but they're closer than you might think.

on points, the chargers have scored 47 and given up 39 (net 8) while the bills have scored 52 and given up 30 (net 22) so they're better than the chargers in all three scoring categories.

on receiving, the chargers are averaging 257 yards a game, the bills 184.5. chargers win. on rushing, the chargers are averaging 76.5 ypg, the bills 153ypg. the bills win.

finally, d-line. the chargers have 4 sacks and 76 tackles, the bills have 6 sacks and 98 tackles. the bills definitely win that one.

so laugh all you want - it's only funny if you're not aware of what's actually happening.

you're funny, dwe. these teams are always tough opponents when you need them to be and no challenge at all when that suits you too...

the bills have beaten chicago - hardly a pushover. and the dolphins - a top 10 defense (yards per game, better than both the seahawks and the cardinals D).
