Bleeding Bills Blue

Agreed. It was like 3rd and 7 on one of them - why would we run the ball there? I'd be pissed if we did that. What you shouldn't do is throw into double coverage. And on the 3rd and 2, we did run the ball. We should have got the first if he handed it off, and would have kicked the FG had allen not fumbled. And on the 4th and 2, JAX were Offside and that was veeeery much on the edge of FG range. Teams are mostly playing zone in tight... get to the soft spot and chuck it in there. We're holding the ball scrambling and cutting the field in half, or throwing short of the EZ and hoping to get in. Throwing it in short like that usually works in man since you only have one to beat, but they're swarming the swing plays. I can't even remember throwing it INTO the end zone the last couple of weeks. Timing is super off.

Biiiiig drop there on the final drive (or 2nd to last, i don't feel like looking it up). He catches that and we are firmly in business to at least tie the game, but get them on their heels to actually win it. Instead we followed it up with williams late off the snap and a brutal sack out of FG range. I thought that was a free rusher but man, williams just whiffed completely. 2 massive mental mistakes in a row - and the last 2 of many throughout the day.

The outside struggles are usually on the backside - so the guards and tackles (williams especially) are killing us there too. They need to get moving more - drilling the LBs at the 2nd level and getting the WRs more involved in the run game. Motioning can be used A - as eye candy, and B- as an extra blocker to the non-play side. If mckenzie is running at speed he can put a hit on a DE and take them out of the play - freeing the tackle on that side to pull or at least get to the 2nd level.

I think buffalo will win comfortably. This team is going to be fired up in practice this week - and Allen knows he needs to be better.

Yeah - get that guy outta here. I was fine with him as depth but in this one he looked massively unprepared. He doesn't know how to play guard as far as i can tell - he can block just fine - its the blocks he misses completely that bother me the most.

Sure? A - they may be healthier or have a different grouping B - they may gel better There were serious miscommunications along the line in this one. They struggled with speed rushers on the outside, and twists and stunts inside. Literally everything jax did worked - which sometimes isn't so much skill or ability but technique and line calls. Seeing Ford completely miss a twisting lineman, or williams fail to get off the line on that 3rd and 7? Those are mental breakdowns. I hope to see less dancing at practice this week. And the DBs QB competition and stuff - get back to freaking business.

You failed to mention that bobby hart - the turnstile - played meaningful snaps at LT in that win for the Titans. And you wouldn't have noticed... so something scheme based needs to change here. I don't think you need to fire Daboll, but they need to simplify some stuff here. Stunts and twists were killing them all game, boettger was getting pushed back, and williams and dawkins seemed to struggle mightily with speed rushers. Essentially it was a pin your ears back and rush sort of game, and we couldn't get anything to work - when we should be running draw plays, screens, and just general RPOs out of shotgun. If you iso diggs or sanders to one side and they play bail coverage there should be a nice window between the linebackers and the corner in cover 2 - but if the LB play the pass every time you run. They need to figure out how to run the friggin ball, simple as that.

I probably went to moorpat like 20 times before i ever ordered food... and that is a mistaaaake. They have great wings and their homemade pizza and cuban logs are top notch.

Beer - Big ditch, Froth, Britesmith, Thin man Wings - Barbill, never had wingnutz but they're supposed to be bomb Tap House - I personally love moorpat and moor room Steak house - Russells, chophouse, sear Air BNB - I live here so i have no idea. If its in elmwood village make sure you get off street parking. Leaving - if you're going north i would park in a lot where you can turn right onto abbott towards milestrip. You'll be stuck in 219/90 traffic but you won't have to turn left onto abbott(or add time by going to southwestern to big tree) which will add to your trip Advice - Not sure when you plan to arrive to the tailgate and what supplies you have - but wegmans subs are clutch at a tailgate if you don't have a grill. If you pick up a pizza on the way that would probably work well too. sort of a french dip without cheese, like 3x the meat, and a weird roll. Extra horseradish.

He's missed significant time in 4 of the last 6 seasons, and in 2020 he wasn't effective in the 16 games he played. I don't think he wants to hang them up but he probably needs to scale back the snap counts at this point. He has played the most snaps among defensive line/pass rush on Arizona this year, and has outsnapped chandler jones. I think this could end up being a significant loss for them.

Seemed like it was closer and could have merited a review. I don't know the entire rule, but with forward progress in mid air the ball looked to be close to passed the line, when he landed the ball seemed to pop out. A review would've been nice, especially as buffalo called timeout anyway.

Insane call imo. If that bounces around and gets recovered you look like an absolute idiot. Its not the 4th quarter and you aren't desperate. Just really strange.

Yeah, whenever feliciano tapped or whatever the cadence was. that confusion killed us since dawkins and sweeney missed it.

Yeah - he had a rough game imo. Just couldn't figure out where he needed to be

Got picked on with RPOs. LBs always look stupid on those, but they're the conflict defender. If you're in the passing lane backpedaling they're going to hand it to henry. Thats why CEH had like 200 yards against buffalo in 2020.

Struggling with depth of the linebackers, too big a space between the zones in cover 2.

Simmons was lined up fairly inside of dawkins shoulder at the snap. I probably do a sweep or option play there to the left. Even an RPO with the LB as the conflict - if he takes moss on the RPO you got diggs in man on a slant with a huge window.

The running backs weren't the problem in this one. Routinely getting hammered at the LOS or behind. There's not much Henry could do behind the lines performance in this one. And regarding winning this most of the time? I think they played really well, and we did not execute at times especially on defense. The holding calls we got were justified - sanders, smith on TD plays. They didn't get a holding on the 76 yard TD run where they definitely held several players. Flip those calls and its probably a 2 score win.

I see us losing a game they should win. be it indy, no, or carolina.

They're tied for 5th in the NFL in rushing yards. And in top half in yards per carry.

Yep. And buffalo still has a great shot to win with 30 seconds left

Aj brown and Julio did not play in that game. They couldn't get off the field... they played like crap. Noticeable poor games by Milano and johnson.

They also let people get away with stuff a lot more in the playoffs. The unsportsmanlike conduct penalties bother me the most this year tbh. 15 yards? 1st team unsportsmanlike call? warning. 2nd? Even if its a different player - ejection or 15 yards. And be a bit more consistent on what is unsportsmanlike... standing over another player isnt unsportsmanlike to me. Even spinning a ball. Its the getting in someones face stuff that ends up causing fights.

5/18 for 60 yards in the first half. I think there was a pick in there too.

i feel like thats good for fake punts, or even like pooch kicks or something. How often do you even run a fake FG though?
