After a play like that I’d love tempo to the line

Every drop back is a risk - that’s why we have to press. At least mistakes would be down field.

They got it

You get to watch AND post?

We have to take some shots. Grinding out field position for 60 minutes on the road against an elite defense isn’t going to do the trick. Need to put the chips on the table and win a few big pots early

Shady playing tough but could see his legs sore getting up and walking to the huddle there

Tale of two strategies against bad QBs— we are daring them to take a chunk, they are forcing us the make 10 small plays

To be fair, he took a risk and it was perfect. We kind of need to take chances and have them pay off.

Curious to see who loses their cool first

It feels like these threads move way to fast for a play by play

As romo notes, you can’t be behind schedule all day and expect the line to win 3rd down against this group. The best offensive lines in the league lose that.

Agreed. He is who he is and will likely continue to be who he has been. They knew who they were getting and you either plan to deal with that as effectively as possible or you move on. The Rex era was probably worst case with no structure around him in any way on or off the field. Removing any leverage from his contract was likewise silly on our part. We essentially handed him a blank check with no expectations or support or plan or....

Hes not even drinking in either clip though. Odds are he wasn’t out having organic fresh pressed beat/kale juice Friday night but likewise this isn’t that damning either As a a bills fan, I hope he completely blows off the game and rolls in unprepared and at 70%... but there’s definitely based on venue both some assumptions and pearl clutching (I enjoyed the “I’m just glad I would never be able to be photographed in a strip club” comment) I get it- and I’m assuming it’s late too but if he rolled home at midnight or 1.... meh. Big deal? im not so much trying to defend MD as there were just a few posts that made me laugh when reading the thread.

If it was a picture of him at an Irish pub with a beer would the reaction be as dramatic for some here? He definitely comes with baggage and as a team you’d rather see him snapping shots of studying the playbook but they are human and they will go out, and blow off steam and have fun and it doesn’t mean he’s not doing the work. And the morality is all tied up in the assumptions of what he was doing and how it would effect him two days later from a couple quick shots of him standing there. Are they time stamped at day break? Is he tearing through lines of coke? Or is he having 2-3 beers and home at a more or less reasonable time 2 days before an afternoon shift at work?

A dramatic bunch. If he was confirmed as doing something truly crazy then sure... but what we have is that he was present in a bar with women who were not wearing much. Did he stay til 6am? Was he wasted? Do any drugs? or did he have a couple drinks, and enjoy the show?

With only one other game you could probably just call it saints v Carolina

Yup- its both hard to guess what offers he will see AND what he will prioritize. Highest possible average? Highest total? A safer deal with high guarantees but lower pay? Best qb? He could get a wiiiide variety of structures offered, and we likely ever truly see 1-2 and assume the rest. Some players are easy to peg but this ones a wild card.

Its tough. Some players are near impossible to peg. my dark horse in this: New Orleans

The age gap barely registers as neither is a 10 year answer at any age

To be fair, Roman was a great run game guy not passing. That his passing scheme is really basic may have helped though. I think as a player hes been relatively consistent across 3 years and fan opinion dipped as his play didn’t rise. The jump many insisted would come never happened. He’s still just decent, when you step off the fan roller coaster of the last few years.

We’ve all seen a lot of Smith. Some weeks better than other. I like him more than Tyrod, but not drastically. Due to logistics of existing contract vs acquiring a guy - Tyrod is probably a better option for pairing with a top rookie pick

Thats a full 5-6 year deal you might get 33 isn’t that scary, it’s just a question of if you want HIM. I think he’s underrated but not good enough to trade a high pick and commit long term. If he’s cut, I’d consider it though.

I was going to say similar. We have a great share of the “what was left and re-sale” market but they come in with a lead of 10s of thousands. We won’t outnumber them but should still have a formidable presence (and I’m guessing the mafia will be in rare form even by their standards) Edit - dug a little and there were claims of sell out prior to us even getting in so the roughly even split is of a relatively small pool of tickets. This won’t be the stadium at 50-50 or close to that but we will have a big presence still

If calling them fair weather isn’t this when they would show up?

Likely playing but either way worth making the jags think he will be
