what is rousseau doing in pass coverage?

Sigh of relief with the FG. Still only a 2 possession game.

Looks like we have a goal line back. Ray Davis

Cook stopped behind the LOS and still slithers for a couple

we're averaging 6 ypc rushing, and it burns clock.

Yeah we might have to excuse Bass's knuckleball, tis a dark and stormy night for sure.

The Bills made a couple of nice stops before the bad snap, so a bit of "D" credit is deserved.

I suspect that Jon Runyan [NFL fine czar] will probably drop a couple of fines on that one, one for RTP, the other for the stupidity on the sideline.

He lost his footing on the int and let the db beat him to the ball.

Hey, The Bills once used their top running back [Cookie] as their placekicker.

Actually TB12 didn't have his facts straight, 33-3 vs. the Bills.

Means they are starting inside the 10 instead of around the 20.

Coleman has to catch those

Looks like we can throw in another 110 yard scoring drive.

Wondering if we could see some Javon Solomon at LB as thin as we are.

Broke his wrist last week, on IR. https://www.buffalobills.com/news/bills-place-rookie-dt-dewayne-carter-on-injured-reserve

Linebacker depth today is a bit unnerving, Spector, Morrow, Buffalo Joe, makes me a little nervous on kick returns as well.

are the Jests really this bad?

Belichick on the NFL Network now. Much as I hate the guy for his success against the Bills, he is a very knowledgeable football mind. His analysis is actually a bit refreshing.

This guy is healthy and will be lining up against our receivers: Riq Woolen, CB, Seattle Seahawks 6'4 - 209 Length is a weapon for defensive backs, but too much length can make it nearly anatomically impossible to be an effective coverage defender at the NFL level. However, Riq Woolen is an outlier. Athletically, he shouldn’t really exist. His 4.26 40-yard yard dash is tied for the fifth-fastest time ever at the NFL Combine, while his 40-yard interception got him into the top 10 fastest speeds of the 2022 NFL season. FWIW

Benford is #13 overall and in pass coverage, giving up a passer rating of 60.6 Johnson and Douglas are both tied for #58 overall. Taron is giving up a 98.8 passer rating when targeted Douglas is giving up a 118.6 passer rating when targeted Last year all three were in the top 20.

Interestingly through week 7 PFF has the #8 cornerback in the league as non other than the much maligned Levi Wallace. Only 14 cornerbacks on rosters over age 30. two; of these, Ramsey and Wallace grade out in the top 10. Top graded cornerback in the league [tho with limited snap count] is our own Kaiir Elam.

Is this a game where they bring up Cine, and play a lot of "Big Nickel" or even Dime, since it's likely we won't have to deal with Megatron II in Metcalf.

Bernard is the 7th smallest linebacker in the NFL at 224 pounds. Two of the top 10 linebackers in the league are smaller than TB. We do need a Bobby Wagner sized thumper on the 2nd line.

My Canadian friends will tell you that Leif Ericson landed in North America about 1021. He was a Christian Norseman from Greenland. That's about 471 years before CC landed on a Caribbean island.
