Trevor Lawrence Advised to Avoid Jets
Bleeding Bills Blue replied to bobobonators's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
So... they force you to play in college. Then force you to play for what team selects you. Then completely limit your income earning potential and lock you up for as many as 5 years. And saying- I don't want to go to a train wreck shell of a franchise is the selfish part? Seems like the nfl and ncaa are rather selfish. They're the one chewing up and spitting out kids for profit. Playing for the jets could have cost darnold like a hundred million dollars. -
Going for 2 at 23-16

I guess? Most coaches kick to tie, but I guess win probability goes out the window when ur playing this KC team -

I think the thought was if you make the XP, stop them, and kick again - you would actually have a lead. If you don't get the 2 - you lose the ability to win after a stop. I'm not sure how that works with win probability percentages. -

I think raiders and rams could be playoff bound. -
Beane needs to get on the telephone

I really wanted Reader in FA- but at the time we had star so... Not sure they'd trade him. His 17.5 base salary next year is actually rather reasonable. If they need cap space they can even extend him and re-work it. -

I mean - you have to go for it down 2 scores when you can't stop the run right? May as well run a QB power or something there and just try again to start the 4th. I feel like with the 50/50 nature of going for 2 - 2 points puts you down 5 and 0 puts you down 7. Its tricky - if you kick and get a stop, a TD actually wins the game. If you miss the 2 pointer and get the stop now you only tie. So I don't know the entire math there... It comes down to actually getting a stop though which they didnt do. So like - down 14, you should go for 2. If you get it, you end up down 6 with a chance to kick to win. If you don't you have another coin flip chance to tie on the 2nd score. If you kick, you're down 7 and will then kick to tie - so no result of kicking is likely to get you a lead, while going for 2 has a 50% chance. Probably not seeing as he didn't work here. -

Nah - Mahomes didn't go to the senior bowl. Most of the McD picks were senior bowl guys - Peterman, Zay, Tre, Dawkins -
Beat the Jets and Pats
Bleeding Bills Blue replied to Bills fan since 87's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Miami doesn't have pitt/tenn, and got cincy/jax instead. So... that week 17 game could loom large. Not to mention - tough schedule this year. No NFCE, NFCW is far better. AFCW is good too. And our other games are Tenn and Pitt who are both currently undefeated. 10-6 this year vs. 10-6 last year is a big change. I wonder if our defense was ever really THAT good, or if the bad QBs propped up a more mediocre unit. They certainly werent like... BAD like they are now though. -
New Injuries: Ford, Lewis, Dodson
Bleeding Bills Blue replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Even in quarters there - if you don't pick up the crosser he'll probably get to the end zone. Communication is super important in zone coverage. -

Bleeding Bills Blue replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
At this point the entire defense is a mess. People want edmunds benched... but milano and dodson are banged up so... not sure who you want to put in. Klein - same thing. Dline - they did bench guys, the new guys didn't do much either. Nickel CB is a struggle. Norman made a nice play, but lets not forget how absolutely toasted he got the week before. The safeties aren't playing as well either. Poyer has to make a play on that ball to kelce - not sure if he was worried about him breaking in on a post. I wouldn't blame white there as it seemed like cover 2 so he has the crosser in front. He bails for kelce and the crosser probably walks in anyway. -
Please dress Yeldon
Bleeding Bills Blue replied to Brianmoorman4jesus's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Do we have guards who are better too? Do they kick Williams inside and start nsekhe until Felecianos back? Winters sucks, ford is probably going to miss time, spains hurt. All offseason everyone complained that he was a fumbler. Now the regular guys can't find space so... he must be able to find space? -
I think winters and ford should be benched. wasnt like 30 something yards gained in garbage time with barkley at QB?
-
yeah. It reminded me of the browns game last year (more frustrating, but similar failures - run D, 3rd down, kicking etc). So I was expecting that result. We drive down score, get happy - then they immediately carve up the defense and take the lead. I believe hauschka missed a FG at the end of that one too.
-
The 3rd down blitzing will continue, until we can scheme up something to prevent it. I thought we did a nice job picking them up honestly. It was the 1st and 2nd downs that were killing this team in the 2nd half. They're sitting back in coverage - 5 DBs, soft zone. And we can't get more than a yard or 2 on first downs rushing. That's a serious problem. I know KC is beastly up front on defense, but cmon.

Yes FRAZIER IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM
Bleeding Bills Blue replied to Billever76's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
They could've had 8 in the box all day and still got gashed. The defense couldnt control the LOS. There isn't a scheme that works when ur not getting any push -

Bleeding Bills Blue replied to Billever76's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Everything starts up front. No pressure on 3rd downs, no push on 1st downs. They can't attack the RPO mesh point, they cant cover on third down. Massive rush lanes. They aren't figured out - they're just doing a poor job at all the things needed to make the defense they run successful. It's not "edmunds needs to do this" or whatever. The dline unit must be better. The LBs must be better. The DBs must be better. We "held them" to 26 points, but also held ourselves to 50 total offensive plays. -

Well, it was raining. So... the deep balls are going to be tougher to throw, catch, time... everything. So maybe we should stack the box a bit more to help out the terrible defensive line.
