Bleeding Bills Blue

24-17 bills. Miami misses playoffs - the davis webb game.

If there was a 1st round bye? I might say play them a bit. But we might play on Saturday. It's no different than a bye week to take 1 week off.

I think a lot of this has to do with all of us - literally every one of us - having no idea who does what when it comes to building out the offense, the playbook etc. I think playcalling is important - but creating a playbook, installing what plays you want to use what week, what down and distance you might want to use what formations and personnel etc. I think a lot of input comes from all over the staff, not just daboll.

It's disrespectful to everyone. The coaches, the players, the fans, ownership, whatever. Certainly not the actions of someone who should be a leader in the organization. Even in the middle of a playoff race, I'd roll with the 3rd stringer and the PS guy. I'm not sure I'd release him - but he's on reserve covid and banned from facilities til next season. Probably suspend him - that way he loses money too.

Buffalo spotting them insane field position all night certainly helped the cause.

At the end of the day - allen has 9 picks and 9 fumbles. These are considerably higher than rodgers (4 picks, 3 fumbles), and Mahomes (5 picks, 5 fumbles).

I think a designed rollout is fine - typically its coming out of play action, and its a hi-low read with a scramble as the last option. He can make those throws I think. It's when he's moving around the pocket when he tends to drop his eyes and make mistakes.

If he can't step into his throws he tends to miss. Play action, he'll set up super deep like brees so he can see the field better. He's not super athletic, but when hes rolling out he tends to fade back and right which will result in turnovers or throwaways.

My least favorable would be Indy and Baltimore. I think they both have defenses that are capable of giving Buffalo's offense problems. I like that buffalo has seemed to figure out how to hurt teams more that started playing in shell zones. Getting a healthy john brown back would help there even more - his route running has improved and he's usually money on the hitch.

My 2 cents.. Rivers in buffalo - his arm is not great. They do have a seriously solid offensive line though, and a run game that's starting to really find its footing. They also feature the best defense in this group Browns - Mayfield looks solid, has the arm - when the pocket is solid. Muddy that up and he tends to fade, and his throws aren't on target. They also have a solid o-line and running game. Their defense is probably the worst in this group. Ravens - LJ poses problems as its unlike what you see any other week, solid running attack. They have speed on offense but they don't really throw deep often. They have a lot of talent on defense and the goal is to make you 1 dimensional. I mean... you got a half field read there. You have to throw it.

They have one of the worst defenses in the NFL. They need talent all over. Lots more draft picks, but at some point you have to dump the caldwell misses. Getting the right free agents is important for them this year.

Darnold's burned through his entire rookie contract. Rebuild around a new rookie.

If you buy out the option year I'd say 5 and 200. Makes him 2nd highest paid qb, and it's probably an overpay.

I mean... that playoff team had Campbell, ngakoue, Ramsey, bouye, gipsob, telvin Smith, and Malik Jackson. The current team has none of those players. They have josh allen DE, still have jack... lots of 2020 picks. But they have about as much in common as buffalo does with their 2017 playoff team.

I thought Diggs got it before 4th down tbh

He had time to throw that away though. In that situation too? Can't do that.

Same. I'd probably cry if they lost the super bowl too.

Whats with grudens strange obsession with bills offensive players? Shouldn't you want the defensive ones from the last 5 years? Incognito? Sure... but Peterman, O'leary, jones? Why? Everyone was criticizing him for icing his kicker - and its like.. you have to do that. And its not his fault herbert took a terrible sack there.

Yeah, i felt like Pitt was a game you'd think he'd have done more. Getting behind the backers in a zone blitz look. I'm not sure if they just don't have that trust there yet - but it seems like daboll has him heading out to the boundaries more often.

Interesting that the comparison is kittle there at the end (simply as an athletic upside player comparison, with little production). And Kittle didn't have Metcalf and AJ brown at WR either.

Yeah - a lot of these guys treat it like basketball. The first down signals, the incompletion signals, all the jawing after plays. I liked the quick high five and line back up - communicate with teammates etc. But they're pro's and I sell software so they're probably on to something...

I've always been like that too. I played catcher growing up, and then played some first base later on and you just get into the habit of chatting. In football even playing corner I never really talked much though. I always found i got called for less penalties by being less vocal. Lots of guys like to get into the other guys head by talking, but i'd usually be more of the "nice catch, good play" kinda guy.

Right. Kittle is a really solid blocker so for their PA/run game he's super valuable. Also a load to tackle. Kelce is insanely good, just such a matchup nightmare in the RZ and so much faster than he looks. Waller's also a freak athlete. Also - none of those guys were drafted in the first round.

I doubt he'll ever be Kelce or Kittle... and thats OK. I'm not of the opinion that a TE is turning this offense from top 10 to top 3. To get there would mean improvements on the line IMO. They've played better with feliciano in, but the run blocking has been a problem all year and it makes the team more one dimensional. They also need to clean up fumbles as a whole - Knox has a big 2. But 15 total? Plus 9 int's? That's a lot of possessions lost. I'd say with the question marks around Sweeney, and with Kroft likely gone TE should be a mid round draft priority. Maybe 1 of the 2 5ths.

Right - Same goes for butler, and probably Diggs and addison too. Move base salary out of 2021 into a year with a likely larger cap. The chance of getting more term is very low out there currently.
