Alright folks, today I wanted to dig into those Titans versus Bills stats and really see who showed up and who flubbed it. Grabbed my laptop and a cold one, fired up the league’s stats site – you know the one, costs way too much but gotta have it for the details.
First move was pulling up the quarterback grades. Figured Josh Allen versus whoever Tennessee had under center would tell half the story. Poked through the passing stats first – completion percentages, air yards, all that jazz. Allen’s accuracy surprised me after that messy first half. Dude was slingin’ it hard under pressure.
Then I Hit the Trenches
Couldn’t ignore those big boys upfront. Wanted to see if Derrick Henry got ANY help from his offensive line. Pulled up the run blocking grades. Man. Some of those grades were downright ugly. Spent way too long squinting at:
- Individual guard stats like pancakes vs QB pressures allowed
- Tackle performances on the edge – got burned bad a few times
- Center snap issues? Oh yeah, almost cost ’em early
Gotta admit, halfway through my kid started asking about dinner. Told him “Hold on buddy, just gotta figure out why Tennessee’s linebackers looked lost!” Closed like five unnecessary Chrome tabs. Focus mode. Switched gears to defense.
The Defense Numbers Were Harsh
Tennessee’s secondary grades? Woof. Somebody got cooked deep more than once. Checked individual coverages against Buffalo’s receivers. Saw a safety with a real bad grade, like “should maybe hide his paycheck this week” bad. Also noticed:
- Pass rush win rates – Bills edge rushers were feastin’
- Tackle efficiency stats, especially in the second level
- That one Bills DB who seemed to be everywhere (spoiler: his grade proved it)
Almost called it quits there, but felt like something was missing. Went down the special teams rabbit hole. Tennessee’s coverage units on kickoffs… yikes. Grades backed up what my eyes saw live – dudes just lookin’ confused out there. Saved the grades as screenshots because honestly? Tomorrow I might forget what this headache was all about.
Final thought? That Bills offense grade card looked pretty. Real pretty. Tennessee’s defense sheet? Looked like a toddler colored it with crayon after a tantrum. Makes you wonder what their Monday team meeting sounded like. My brain hurts now. Think I earned that beer after sorting through all that mess.
