Mr. WEO

They let Barkley go and paid Jones. There's no chance both the GM and the HC were against those moves. Simply put, Daboll got them to the playoffs with Jones---and since he fancies himself a developer of QBs, he felt he could create a functional Josh Allen out of him. Turns out, Daboll is not that. He's just a guy who has benefited from being around some of the best ever (BB, Saban, Josh Allen). On his own, he's a bust. He's Nate Hackett.

well...Beane and McD made him WR2, having neglected the WR room for years. And his drop rate is zero this year, 3.7% last year.

point is the thread is hyping Hollins when he's a guy who has barely caught half his targets and has dropped 10%---that's performance that was frowned upon last year. If the thread was "Mack Hollins is Gabe Davis for a fraction of the cost", that would be pretty accurate.

That team is set up for him. Although he wasn't as overhyped as Fields (predictable error), he was oversold.

Owners approve of all such deals. But a smarter HC and GM combo would have told the owner "we can't pay this guy that much money, we can't win with him". One fluke playoff win doesn't hide how awful he was down the stretch.

His QB stinks in Jax. What they pay him has no meaningful impact

his entire career is that of a coaching Zelig

the owner who had recently gotten rid of the HC and GM who drafted Jones?

who is going to give Daboll and Schoen that chance? Who are they going to develop? They are not good at that---they figured they were set with Jones and backed up a truck for this absolute bum.

Bills had a guy last year who caught 55% of his targets, 90+% were TDs or 1st downs. They got rid of him

Saleh was in over his head from day 1. He wasn't hired to run the Defense---he was hired to be HC and win games. On game days, he was terrible, clueless. His teams are undisciplined. There's no reason to believe Saleh would have them at a better record right now. The Offense still stinks. Rodgers is washed.

he's dogging it in that play---jogging over.

As for DPI, KC has been the beneficiary on only 3 calls (Bills had 6). For roughing the passer, KC has been the beneficiary of 3 calls (Bills 3). Mahomes has been sacked 20 times already (Josh 13).

KC had more Offensive holding penalties last year than any team. This year they are tied for 4th, Bills are 10th. Conversely, both the Bills and the Chiefs have been the beneficiary of the same number of calls for them.

over the past 4 seasons, the Chief's D has ranked 5, 2, 16, 8 in points allowed. Bills are 9, 4,2,1. There's not a significant difference in the D's right now (17.8 PPG vs 19.3 PPG).

they average 36 vs the Bills in the playoffs.

The fumble by a runner rules are different at the goal line, so why not? Runner loses the ball before down by contact in the field, it's a fumble. Runner lunging across the goal line where ball crosses the plane, but he loses the ball before he's down by contact just scored a TD.

this stat will doom the Chiefs

One more time: I favor them changing the rule for passes caught in the end zone. I'm aware of how it works now--no need to keep reiterating the rule.

too many are #2

the plane of the end zone is the plane of the end zone

Again, I'm saying that possession for a pass in the EZ should not include surviving the ground. If you catch it just over the goal line in a diving catch--you have possession. if, as you hit the ground, it comes out---TD. Same as for a runner who dives across the goal line and then it pops out as he lands hands first in the EZ (or a Defender chops it out)---TD.

No I'm talking about a receiver who has possession when the ball crosses the goal line...but it comes out as he hits the ground. Should be a TD, like a run for a score. Unlike in the filed of play, a catch in the EZ (not bobbled) should not have to survive the ground, as it does in the field of play. TD plays end at the crossing of the goal line.

It never made sense to me that there are different criteria for TD.

Why, if a ball carrier crosses the plane then fumbles in the EZ, is it ruled a TD? If both the receiver and the runner have possession when they cross the plane (the definition of a TD), why not the same call? Crossing the EZ plane should end every play.
