Slow your roll bruh, Kam didn't participate in bat gate. All he did was Falcon Punch, and there was no controversy in that.

Think you guys are massively over rating the panthers lol

Oof I'm gonna get flak for this one. It's been a really weird year guys. Only 8 teams are above .500 ball. Cardinals are STILL really high despite the close loss. I mean...this season is whack.

season opener carrying the titans so hard. i take it yards/points given up are worth a little more than gained, since the bye teams moved up?

[Tyrgannus]

Mmkay I went 9 of 15 last week for a grand total of 37/63 or 58.730% which is still quite pitiful. This season has been quite weird indeed.

I use a lot of averages. Patriots and Titans are divided by 3 as opposed to other teams that are divided by 4 when tallying all the numbers. Admittedly, this early in this season gives early byes a slight edge as their is less opportunity to screw up. Both bye teams have some good numbers though admittedly

[ProphetFlume]

Why Titans over Bills?

[Tyrgannus]

Why Titans over Bills?

Titans offense is better both in points forced and yards per game.
Titans are also allowing about 65 yards less per game giving them a shockingly good yard differential (+67.333 per game, 5th best in NFL currently)
Titans are even more efficient in yards per point than Bills by a small margin.

Titans seem to be better than their record. Plus it's a home game.

Just curious what are all the criteria or stats used to compile this list. Not complaining about it, it looks fine. Just wondering what all goes into it.

Think I'm with you all except the Texans over the Colts.

Record [Weighted]
Point differential [Weighted, but less than record]
Offense
Defense
Yard per point efficiency

Points are more important than yards. Defenses and special teams can score points. While I absolutely do look at yardage, I try to be fair to all 3 phases. That's why points are weighted higher

Oh, but it's the bills who are undisciplined.

I read this on my lunch. Was interesting. I know Pete Carroll has his team study ref match ups and has stats on how many holding calls, etc. Was pretty surprised a lot of people on the team didn't know about the rule for batting the ball. But lots of other people also didn't.

Bills made noise, and it was caught on film.
OBJ is gonna eat a fine for it

Seems to be pretty consistent through the league that people didn't know about batting a ball away

I certainly didn't know about the rule. I'm betting there are a fair amount of obscure rules I don't know about

[Vetali]

I didn't. Gruden or Tirico didn't who are pretty good at that stuff.

The best thing about that transcript is it shows the difference between an organization like NE vs one that churns coaches every 3 seasons.

You gentlemen wouldn't be alone it seems.
i'd never even considered it a rule, let alone seen it in action (or inaction as it were)

As of knowing it, I think its a pointless rule.

I could see it changing, or at least some alteration to the review process happening after the season ends.
(I agree though)

It's always the guy who strikes back that gets called for the penalty, usually never the instigator. Does this mean the Bills are lacking mental focus and discipline? Well, yeah... They shouldn't be striking back. Doesn't mean there's anything wrong with their moral compass, they're just undisciplined enough to fight back when someone is being an absolute jerk.
