Yeah, that is where I think a lot of people have missed about this group who have been down on it. Brady can create a lot of mismatches and different looks with this group, including athletic size with just about any formation compared to previously just really 12 personnel. Still, it's week 1 and 5 or 6 weeks from now DC's will have a lot more film on this offense, so we need to see they can consistently do this kind of thing and adjust when say some things aren't working. Not gonna get out over the ski's here, but week 1 was exactly what I expected from the offense after they preached all summer that everyone eats. 2 things I want them to clean up though ASAP are the penalties (hopefully just some rust) and how Josh Allen was carrying the football Sunday, it was like a loaf of bread out there. With how physical he runs, he needs to be more protective with the ball instead of carrying it out there just palming it or fumbles are going to be an issue again. It looked like his first couple years again with how he was holding it.

Just to be clear, neither Hollins or Coleman started the game. First play of the game was a Dart out of 12 personnel and the only 2 WR's on the field were out left in Shakir and Samuel. The 2nd play of the game was a passing play, and Coleman was the one in the game essentially making him the starting WR in the passing game. He also had the most snaps of all the receivers Sunday too. It's pretty clear Coleman is the "starting X" out there. There were many times when Hollins and Coleman were also on the field together too. But honestly, still a little surprised you weren't at least encouraged by their week 1 games.

You sound fun at parties

Also, neither Mack Hollins or Keon Coleman started on the first play of the game, we ran a Dart out of 12 personnel and the only WR's on the field were out to the left which were Shakir and Samuel. The 2nd play of the game was a passing down, and Coleman was on the field, so he essentially was one of our starting WR's in terms of the passing game and that was further established by having the most snaps at WR week 1.

I dont disagree that Diggs can bring good value though still the Texans, they have deep threats in Nico and Tank, so he doesn't need to be that. In Buffalo, he was supposed to be the WR1, supposed to make plays all over the field. I don't know he still is an elite WR1, especially for his drama. He even admitted recently he had bad focus and head space last year. Thats not what a team wants in a WR1. So for me, its a win-win for Diggs and the Bills with the separation. I think both benefit from it and both can have good years this year without each other.

I would be happy in a since that hopefully the 2 TD's helped us win. But Diggs averaged 8.9 ypc his final 10 games last year, and he faded the back half of the season before too, and his playoff production has been all or nothing with more nothing in regards to what you want and need from a $26m WR1. So seeing his 5.5 ypc and having again no value outside the short areas of the field for the 11th straight game stands out despite the 2 TD's. Now if Coleman did that in his very first game, sure, seeing your rookie whose best attribute in drafting him was to make us better in the redzone go and execute in the redzone would be an exciting start. But I sure as hell would be concerned about Keon if 10 games later Coleman was averaging under 9 yards per catch which is bad for even a backup TE.

Ha all kidding aside...it's just one game, lot of football left and lot more for this offense to prove. But still, a lot to like from week 1.

Yeah, I don't get this either. Josh is Josh. If he makes great plays, people say its too Josh Centric. Are the Chiefs too Mahomes centric? I mean it makes no sense. Every one of his weapons both catching and running made big plays yesterday and some in big moments for their only play like Knox did. If anyone thinks yesterday was all Allen they only watched the highlights of his TD's and not the whole game.

One, I like all kinds of music (except not a big fan of country), so excited about Kendrick Lamar. But I do love AC/DC and one of my dreams was to see them live and I was lucky to have gotten the chance at Coachella like 5 or 6 years ago and they crushed it. In the 10 Coachella's I have attended, they are easily top 5, probably top 3 favorite performances ever. And you see a lot of performances at Coachella given its 3 straight days of lineups across 5 stages from like noon to midnight, and they are still one of the best ones I have seen.

Funny, we didn't really know, and my wife and I were discussing that this weekend actually. So we googled it and it was mostly related to the fast growth after WW2 where it was faster and easier to build above ground. Also cost, it is usually cheaper to build above ground. And something about the frost line being thin here as opposed to other parts of the country. Here is one of the articles we found on it: Why dont CA homes have basements

Awesome and yeah, Rocklin is atop our list as well along with Roseville, Granite Bay, and Folsom too. Everyone we come across who lives in the area or has lived in the area always raves about it outside it being hot. But both my wife and I grew up in places that got almost as hot, so won't be too much of a shock we hope ha. But one of the reasons we targeted these areas is my wifes mom and stepdad just bought a house in Truckee like 90 min away right next to Donner Lake and like 15 min from Lake Tahoe. They have a room all setup for us and the boys to come stay as often and as long as we want. So, we plan to dodge a lot of that Summer heat spending a lot of time up there over the hot months as summers are super nice up there.

Nice work I would definitely add targets because then you can add in YPC, YPT, and Catch % as all those will all auto calculate off the same data you are already entering (assuming you added targets too) once you add the equation in to the fields. Maybe games played and games started if you wanted too.

We would love a basement for just this purpose, just out here in Cali they are not very common, especially on more modern builds in the areas we are.

Just ran into my good friend and neighbor while walking our dogs. He is a die hard Fins fan. First thing he said to me is we are going to kill them Thursday. Said they were awful on both sides of the ball and they are a train wreck in the trenches. I didn't watch much of the game, but just what he said to me today as he was not at all happy about their win.

Team was fired up and fired up for Ingram too

He also led the team in snaps too

Agree with all this. That being said, it’s one game, but I think overall it was encouraging efforts by both coordinators.

Yeah it’s crazy, especially after YouTube moved in down the street like 8 years ago and they started calling this area “Silicon Beach”. Drove the rents and prices through the roof right away. Luckily it’s rent control here, so if you were already here you were fine, but moving to this area now is absurdly expensive. If we down sized our rent would still go up here lmao. Which is why we moving to closer to family where we can get a 3000 sq fr house for what we pay here and be near great schools and family too. Worked out for us though, our building owner paid us a lot of money to move and I also negotiated us free rent from July to March 1st as well to move. So we gladly took it and they will make their money back fast getting market price on this place. So it was a win-win Awesome! I already met another Bills fan in the area too on here, we will have to grab beers and catch a game!

Hahaha almost spot on. My current place is $3200 a month but what’s crazy is after I move they will get at least double that.

It’s one game, so don’t get me wrong, nothing was proved by anyone after one outing of course. But considering Allen had 2 pass attempts before the final 2 min drive at end of first half and this team still put up 34 points with a dominant stretch from that point on I think is at least an encouraging start to the Brady era. We had just 3 possessions first half I believe that was marred by a turnover and self inflicted penalties as the OL shook the rust off. With Coordinators, what I look for is can they make adjustments in game when things aren’t going their way. And I would say both our new Coordinators did very well in that regard this first game.

Roseville area

That’s always gonna be part of Josh Allen’s game though, so not really fair to take anything away from Brady because Allen does some amazing things IMHO.

Ha I did say all game he is carrying the ball like a loaf of bread. I expect he’s gonna get some flak from the coaches this week with how reckless he was holding the ball on runs.

I mean the defense adjusted and allowed just 3 points in the 2nd half. And Brady and the offense put up 34 points despite the fact Allen had just 2 pass attempts with just over 2 min to go in the first half thanks to some OL miscues and an Allen fumble. So if anything, I feel like the Coordinators showed they can figure it out and adjust, which IMHO is the most important part of their job. I really liked what I saw with Brady today too.

His name is Josh Allen. He will find an open guy or make a play with his legs.
