This has been my thinking as well ever since watching the Steelers game. Edge defenders set the edge and essentially force Lamar to hand it off and then attack with run blitzes up the middle, essentially try to create a funnel into the blitzes.

People are people. Good and bad and everything in between everywhere, no matter where you go. I go on X and lots of the people that I see are Ravens and Bills fans in my feed. All these Ravens people I see are not people I follow or usually hardly ever engage with but X loves pushing that content to me. The online rancor has been awful over the past month, I don’t ever remember seeing things as contentious as it has been between Raven and Bills fans with any other team.

He’s without doubt the best coordinator McDermott has had. He improves our odds of winning a Super Bowl and I hope we can make it happen while he’s hear because without him it gets tougher.

I think it will be a decent bit I also believe we will see more defensive packages with Cole Bishop as well: The Steelers game they had TJ Watt crashing down on Henry and Lamar saw it and took it himself and got lots of yards in those first two drives. Von and Rousseau should play contain to take out the possibility of Lamar pulling it down and attack Henry up the middle with some run blitzes.

According to PFF, he’s back. Curtis Samuel sighting

A lot of people thought Spencer Brown was overpaid. Turns out he has been underpaid.

I had no idea this is how it started. Hilarious! Sorry if it’s already been posted

Dominating rush attack. Their interior line just moves people out of the way. It will take a gargantuan effort and game plan to slow them down.

Because some people use it as extra motivation effectively. Michael Jordan and Tom Brady to name a couple. Jordan was known to take the slightest perceived personal slights and leverage it as extra motivation to kick your ass up and down the court. These sort of things exist and many people who played competitive sports understand this to be true

I do think you will see more people than in the past vote for a player as first team and still select someone else as MVP. The spirit of the awards are different, being 1st team is a vote to be the best player at that position where MVP is a player that is most valuable to his contending teams success. With that said, Josh would need to have at least 6 of those votes flip and that is a much higher hurdle than where I thought we were earlier today. Its disappointing and I hope the team uses that as additional fuel, the great ones are able to channel those sort of grievances to actionable successes such as Jordan and Brady.

Ouch!

I listen to Kirwan and Miller daily, I pick up my daughter from school and it’s an hour drive both ways and that is when their show is on. I think they are the best in the biz, one is a players perspective and the other from management. Allowing their listeners to talk a lot is their thing, they like to think of themselves that they are of the people and having irrational fans call in is part of their show and honestly I think it adds to their popularity. They are Sirius’s football channels top show.

I clumsily explained it, what I meant was rush with 4 and have a spy who would also rush at the right moment making it 5.

There are other motivations I don’t think so, since this has become the most polarized debate that I can remember, I wouldn’t be surprised that you get lots of split ticketing, where voters award Josh the MVP but Lamar as the first team All Pro. The selections don’t have the same criteria.

I honestly don’t know how much value to the team he brings but receiving two extra 3rds, I think I could live with that.

If I was a young guy with a really good offensive mind I would only want to go where there is a promising QB. Chicago New England and maybe Jacksonville. I wouldn’t take the chance on a QB needy team to very possibly face being fired after 2-3 years with real possibility of maybe not even getting an OC job offer. Find the right situation

He would have had a sack last game if it wasn’t for the intentional grounding, essentially it was a sack. He had another very nice rep where he shed his blocker at the line of scrimmage that led to a stuffed run.

Funny you mention that, I was thinking that the Bills game plan vs the Ravens if it gets to that should be to play 3 LB formations and use Dorian as the spy against Lamar. He’s a see and run sort of player, he wouldn’t be exposed to his biggest weakness which is dropping back into coverage, serves as a third and beefed up player against the run and he’s the most athletic out of the linebackers which is best suited to pursue Lamar. I think a 5 man rush with the spy against Lamar can be effective

The idea that McDermott is remotely close to any sort of a hot seat no matter what the outcome is delusional. You may think he shouldn’t be the coach but he isn’t going anywhere. He bleeds for the city, ownership trusts him, the players love him and he’s had lots of success. Yes, I would love for him to be better in the playoffs and my hopes are that he will but he ain’t going anywhere. Secondly, I think the Bills should do lots of blitzing, specially on first down. Force him into some hurried throws early on and get them into lots of third downs. They don’t have a particularly strong ground game and I think in order for Denver to put up a good offensive game they would need to be successful with their first downs and that is the downs to attack them. They do lots of bootlegs, attack the QB with the ends on those plays that appear to be handing it off to the back. Lots of exotic pressures throughout the game, force lots of third downs and with all the crowd noise it should lead to stops.

All 3 of the interior lineman are credited for not giving up a sack this year? DT’s have a hell of a time getting to Josh

If we are going to parse words, McD said “I’d hope so”. I’d hope so to me says that based off what he knows he believes he should be back. If he had said “I hope so”, that to me would be more worrisome because that connotes more of a tone of uncertainty. Either way, I hope his personal matters aren’t too bad and that he practices and plays this week.

I think you’ll see Von play anywhere between 30% - 50% of the snaps, just depends what sort of situations the game presents. The Broncos have two good tackles that will present a challenge. He is beating guys with speed and leverage, he’s rounding into form right at the right time. Rousseau will have to step up and so will Oliver, those three will need to play well to have any chance at taking this the distance

Trubisky looking sharp. And nice to see Tyler Base make his 49 yarder. And Von’s sack was nice, cleanly beat their tackle.
