Bleeding Bills Blue

Continuity is great - equally important are talent and health.

Last MNF game after the game I went to O'neills, i got in, took 15 minutes to get beers. And then immediately went outside for a cigarette because it was a sardine can.

They're very similar QBs honestly. They never let a play die, rocket arms that can make ridiculous throws, and both can hurt you with their legs. Kelce gives an edge to Mahomes that we don't have. Beast redzone weapon, matchup nightmare, and some of the best hands in the business. Diggs vs hill - they're very different but dynamic in different ways. Diggs has superior route running, and seems to have a great feel for whats happening on the field. But Hill's speed is just ridiculous so he's a man coverage beast. I'd love to see a Kelce in buffalo's offense, but it wasn't in the cards this year. I don't think its smart to pay jonnu smith and hunter henry "kelce money" to get a vastly inferior player.

Wasnt Benjamin the #1 WR in 2018? And murphy started 9 games for buffalo and was coming off a 2019 playoff game where he played pretty well all things considered. Cap space is nice but you have to replace the player too so you don't really see the full savings anyway. Not to mention in 2020 Buffalo was a contender, you don't make as many decisions with the future in mind.

I think he looks good. He had that hamstring the year before, so hopefully he's building some flexibility to avoid those types of injuries. I could honestly care less about his 40 time, if he improves speed out of cuts and breaks he'll be a weapon in the passing game.

I voted for the bucs. The brady history, and then the fact that they won the super bowl last year makes it a nice measuring stick game.

I personally think Clark and Jones had more of an effect than anything else.

I'm not worried about it. Allen's growth occured at every level of QB - Throwing accuracy, poise under pressure, pre and post snap reads. I don't see how fans will affect it.

I had a good time tailgating there. There was a DJ, and they spun me around in an old barber chair while i shotgunned a beer. The room is probably a dump, but your tailgate basically gets a private bathroom which is kinda nice. The only problem i could see is you're basically trapped on gamedays much like living in the vicinity of the stadium - so just plan ahead.

The production was fairly limited though. 65 catches across 2 seasons.

The problem with the outside zone wasn't always the backs or speed at all. Williams, Knox, Feliciano, morse were all struggling in outside zone. I just felt like the weakside backer was constantly coming in unblocked at an angle to disrupt the play. I'm not sold on singletary, but he was dynamic in 2019. This season it felt like the running attack was always kind of stuck in the mud regardless of the back.

They put some serious cash into the gym and recovery facilities. They have a full indoor practice facility, outdoor facility, and there's a grass field as well. Better film study rooms. Already have all sorts of covid protocols in place (was there for my football league, you have to log in every morning you go and fill out a covid survey) and hosted it there last year anyway.

Could be a weapon against some of those athletic QBs like mahomes and LJ in the playoffs though.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Hill_(American_football) Thats why... Both had crazy good workouts, and not a ton of field production. But him being the 9th one selected is still a bit shocking tho.

I've been doing non 5's/0's even numbers on things lately. microwave something for 30 seconds? Why not 33?

Have to agree. 6 DTs in the first Williams Oliver Wilkins Lawrence Tillery Simmons I don't think any of those players is even head and shoulders above the rest. Williams flashed some pass rush, lawrence has probably been most consistent, and Simmons has flashed some as well. But people also forget that oliver flashed quite a bit too. Also, Haskins has biggest bust locked up in that draft. LJ Collier Gary and Ferrell have also done little as pass rushers through 2 years. Ugh. I hate taylor hall. The one thing i thought for sure he had was hands. WTH happened to him?

If they did win, i'd also say johnson did enough to not start the next game.

Regarding Johnson... I just couldn't get behind it. It was a tremendously poor first half, and I still can't believe he came out to start the 2nd half. Worst offensive output of the season yardage wise. Meddling owner cost the team a shot at a super bowl.

I know he "did enough to win", and there were some questionable calls (kicking on 1st down with 20 seconds left - I know we had no timeouts... get a little creative and you can kick that as time expires - if there's 1-5 seconds on the clock kick it out of bounds and defend a hail mary). But it was a terrible game - 10/22 for 131, took 6 sacks and fumbled twice (lost one and the other was a safety). Sacked on more than 20% of drop backs, completed less than 50% of passes. His inability to evade pressure kept them behind the sticks all game. They had 46 yards at halftime, and 28 of them were rushing yards from the backs. So his 18 pass plays generated 18 yards. I don't even know how he came out and started the 2nd half.

Yeah, i tried to like rex ryan too. Woops.

Having the best TE in football certainly helps. I'm not sure williams and feliciano are good enough at it though. Morse is athletic enough, and i think he was somewhat of an asset in the run game in 2019, so not sure what killed him in 2020. You don't need RB speed to execute an outside zone rushing attack, you do to bust out big runs i suppose, but arian foster ran for like 6000 yards and was like a 4.7 guy. Yep - Williams too. He can anchor solidly on the right, but backside backers slip right by him and blow up runs constantly.

Rj was an unmatched sack taking machine. In 98 he had an absurd 21.3% sack rate in like 5 games. His other 2 seasons starting, he was comfortably around 13-14. Tyrod would take them too, but no one could get sacked quite like rob Johnson.

I voted no, but i could honestly care less. I don't even know whos up there anymore.

EJ Manuel. I thought he was going to be a solid starter.

At tight end I didn't carry 4 because of PS and Gilliam playing teams. At lb I could see keeping smith and dropping a corner to PS. Depends how much they like Obada, and whether 9 is enough on the line with position flex.
