    You have to block facing the goaline you're trying to score. It's a blindside block when your back is to the goaline you're trying to score and you hit with force. 

    I believe the rule speaks of movement not position.  Moving toward own end zone or parallel to line of scrimmage.

  2. 1986 game vs Steelers.  Marv Levy's and Steve Tasker's first game with Bills vs. Steelers. Robb Riddick grinding out yards moving into the wind was a key to a win.

     

    Bills 16 and Steelers 12

     

    This game was dry but wind was 30+ mph and neither team could throw moving toward the scoreboard end.  Robb could get yards vs. a stacked defense and thereby burn the clock and avoid having to punt into the wind.  I would pick Moss to do something similar for monday's game.

     

    Short crossing routes with picks/rubs for big YAC (Phil Rivers of perfect weather SD Chargers in 2014) and 3rd down QB scrambles and RB screens (Carson Wentz in 2019) were successful strategies opponents used to beat the Bills in past wind affected games.  If you are a betting type, my advice is to play the under.

  3. There are separate issues for the players vs. the fans.  Wind has the bigger effect on how the game plays out assuming the footing is not an issue.  The two games vs. the Pats last year are good examples.  A close, run heavy game in Buffalo vs. a pass heavy blowout win in Foxboro.  For fans, 38F and rain is much worse than 28F and snow. 

     

    As bad as this one was for the players (the worst I can remember) it was worse for the fans.  Hypothermia is a serious thing.

    The initial hit is fine. And he does hold him up some. But at the end he drives shoulder. Can’t do that. 
     

     

    that’s the textbook part. 

     

    You are correct.  Despite Collinsworth's inability or unwillingness to acknowledge the obvious, Clark lifted JA's hips and when Josh had hit the ground, he drove his shoulder into Josh's rib cage.  It's called "stuffing" and QBs are vulnerable to separated shoulders and cracked ribs (ala Epenesa on Tua) because of them.  That's why they are illegal now.

    Agree all but just to add: he's the least sacked in the league, period.

     

    Sometimes the inference is that this is the sole result of superior pass protection.  That's not the story that my eyes tell me.  Pressure due to one player is rarely enough to get him sacked.  He beats that kind of pressure all the time.

  6. There has always been an inherent bias in comparing the raw passing statistics of a team that plays half it's games in an open air stadium at the eastern end of Lake Erie to teams that play in Florida, Southern California, Arizona or in a dome.  The home game weather has not been very good this year. At the very least it has added an extra degree of difficulty to deep shots and touch passes.   Any metric that ignores that reality is flawed. 

     

    I have read that Josh is the least sacked QB in the NFL when pressured.  That agrees with what my eyes see and I do not know how any rating properly  accounts for it.  Certainly not the NFL passer rating formula which ignores sacks completely and penalizes throwaways.  If the Bills get the #1 seed and beat the Tampa Bay Bradies in the process, I think Josh wins the MVP.

    I thought the same thing. I wished Allen showed more class.

     

    However, (I have not had a chance to re-watch yet) it has occurred to me that Josh might have not been waving but making the hand motion of "Yapping" or "flapping your jaws".  

     

    I thought he was waving but I also wondered why all of the refs right there seemed to ignore it rather than flag him for TAUNTING.

    Wilkins is heatedly complaining to the Ref about something and Josh was pointing out that the game was all over but the bitching and moaning, the last refuge of losers.  So, yes, I think you have it correct and most everyone else had it pegged wrong as a wave.  Lots of videos of it on Twitter.  One is from the Bills' official account.

  8. He is not in the CFL.  Only the exclusive negotiation rights were traded.  I knew when the Colts drafted Eason and there were to be no preseason games that his time with them was up.  I think he is hoping for a chance in the spring leagues.  XFL, USFL whichever.

    It's a good move to have a vet, but it's so Jets to have Flacco last year.. let him go.. and then trade what could be a 5th for him to get him back.  

    They are long in 2022 draft capital (1,1,2,2,3,4,4,5,5,6 before the Flacco trade) and have been better at using it over the last few years than say, the Dolphins.  I expect the Jets to be a bigger challenge to the Bills in the division over the next 5 years than Miami or NE.  From afar, they have a very 2018 Bills look to them to me.  Bills 2018 road win over Vikings = Jets 2021 over Titans?  Bring in vet QB mentor during rookie QB injury? They even have a huge blowout loss with their backup QB playing.   It's big how Wilson finishes the year and if Saleh and Douglas prove to be a good match but I am not inclined to ridicule them at this time.
