Bleeding Bills Blue

He had a nice sack early. He didnt get his full back to a player during the punt return though and ended up on his butt then too. Then the game got away from them and he was a non-factor.

I think they really like that van ginkel kid, so save the money and plug it into the O.

Well... taiwan jones role maybe as well. He likely can tackle, and run. Returning would be a bonus - but id like to also bring back mckenzie.

How about we start with a full offseason and get to preseason when we get there 😂

Getting "downed" is getting killed in warzone. So your teammate has to revive you. Allens joke was that everything he said was a lie, except the part where he dies 🤣

With roberts jones and possibly mckenzie gone there's definitely a job to get. There's also special teams - taiwan jones is a free agent as well.

And why trade for mariota when you can just sign tyrod for cheaper. If thats the route you want to go - basically similar to what you ran this year with cam but with a QB who has the arm to push it down the field and outside the hashes (old tyrod's bread and butter).

He's better than cam at this point. Cam can't throw with any consistency, his footwork and platform aren't reliable, and his arm motion is a mess. He can still throw it hard, but trajectory is an issue and he seemed to struggle with accuracy. Mariota is accurate, still athletic - but he started to become a sack machine in his last couple of years. Int% down and sack% up, doesn't have tremendous arm strength or accuracy... doesn't throw people open etc. He's basically tyrod taylor now.

Capped at JV, played a little varsity baseball but I was a smaller kid so I wasn't going to see the field in varsity. Between that, working in restaurants, and wacky tobacky I wasn't as interested in all that would've entailed (lifting, diet, conditioning etc).

I think if there were a reason to believe it were a problem it would have come up. They do a fine job, and are the top announcing pair on Fox. They aren't closing million dollar business deals over scotch - but guess what? That's still happening too. If you think every bartender, chef/cook is 100% sober you are flat out wrong. In my experience of fine dining, usually around 8-830 beers were out. Bartenders aren't supposed to drink a ton on the job, but in my experience even the best ones do. Hell, TV shows have guests on with beers now because it helps people loosen up a bit for live interviews. Announcing a football game is not a formal type of engagement, a certain level of professionalism is required but at the end of the day they're there to tell you what is happening during a game. They try to impart some of their knowledge of football, but also are there to get excited so that you get excited. It's easier for him to do that when he treats it how you might treat attending a game where you aren't announcing. I have no problem with this, it puts no one in danger in the slightest.

If they cut jefferson/butler as everyone suspects... they need interior dline.

His future is to compete for snaps at SAM. I don't know if thats behind milano, or if its with Klein, or a rookie that they haven't selected yet.

I'm good with it... The team needed top end talent to make the jump to division leader. They added diggs. You need to keep reloading to stay at the top. To stay on top you have to keep bringing along depth so when players leave, you have good young players who are chomping at the bit to win a starting job.

I think it was as much david/white tbh. Their ability to take away what they wanted to do with RPOs and kelce had a lot to do with it.

https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/buf/2020_advanced.htm you can see First downs here.

Once you get a for sure salary cap, you'll start seeing players re-work contracts for teams to create cap space. Then you'll have cap casualties... the draft is the only thing where you like know for sure who's even available. But i agree - we don't really know what our needs are until post FA. There arent really any TE's available so i would assume that will be a need. oline/dline depth will get filled out but i know beane is willing to sign players just to replace them later.

Just absolutely dismantling NE week 16 this year is one of my favorite games of the year. MNF - held them to 200 total yards, and 11 first downs. But tied 3-3 in buffalo territory, we didn't fear them in the slightest.

Look at the T/G column here: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/nwe/index.htm 3 years outside the top 10. One of those years was 2017 when brady only threw 8 picks, the defense just didn't have a lot of takeaways. He protected the ball insanely well for them. That tends to lead to long fields and makes it easier to prevent the opponent from scoring.

Will be a very different looking TB team - hopefully they will not have gelled at that point.

The one short field was on a re-kick shanked punt. Not the refs fault he had a terrible punt on round 2. It works when you break tackles... or when you have effective downfield blocking... Or a design around it. I'm more concerned with our defense TBH. They had no answer other than the game just ending.

4 TDs on 5 drives and 1 was a 70 yarder with a turnover on downs where he threw a TD pass that was dropped. For a stretch there they were able to basically do whatever they wanted and the chiefs had no answer. After that they had the 3rd and 10 drive with a bad snap. After that it was basically a clock game so he didn't really need to do much but kill clock. Even the last 2 incomplete deep balls were imo thrown to try and draw PI. He got some calls that we didn't/wouldnt. I do wonder if like rodgers TDs on Offside plays, if he just has a knack for when to throw balls to draw PI calls.

1st and 4th round picks for Johnson too. Flutie was probably the most notable free agent. But you had the holcombs, fitz, tyrod, orton.

Yeah - its 2yr 47 mil - not terrible. That would leave philly with 34m but they can then split it over 2 years. Plus if you fix him - years 3 and 4 aren't bad anyway. You're probably right though - we dumped tyrod for pick 65 and they picked up his bonus. Teams want QBs.

I think a key in this one was how much better gronk is than knox. More sure handed and a load to tackle. Theyd run that TE out/screen thing we do with knox and gronk got a 1st every time they ran it.

Run it. They went with 6 DBs against our 11 personnel - Should be able to get some gains there. They doubled digs and bease depending on the situation. I think brown and davis both being banged up prevented them from ever really considering going with a 2 high look against us unless it was 3rd and forever.
