Bleeding Bills Blue

They can move him on that 5th year option if they need to. Only way that works is if you secure another QB though. Maybe you can sell the fanbase on baker or cousins, but a rookie is a lost season. Maybe you could swing a trade for Murray - then move tua to get some picks back. But that would only work if Arizona was picking at the top of the draft. The main issue is I'm not sure he can in good conscience even play on a 5th year option. With the injury history you almost have to hold out for an extension.

It was definitely another RPO. Which we had dropped like... 4 times in the game already on 3rd down. It was a yard, not 3, lets be smart here. Even a Murray run is a smarter call if you don't want to sneak it.

As we all know - backups can and have won games before... The titans need to get back to doing what they do well. Offensive line is a mess in pass pro. Run, and stop the run. They do that and they can potentially beat the jags.

The turnovers will probably catch up to them at some point. 8 INTs and 4 fumbles in 5 games is a lot. Last in the league in turnovers, and 3rd in takeaways on defense. They're getting yards and big plays right now, they run the ball well, but the margin for error come playoff time is usually pretty slim. A bad INT and a missed FG can basically become a 6-10 point swing that costs you a game. You also often face better offenses that turn the ball over less, which can again amplify your own turnovers. Defensively they have 7 games where they gave up 250 yards or less and are 7-0 in those games. They had 3 teams under 200 yards. Combo of bad matchups, bad QBs, and the bengals starting burrow with like 0 training camp or practice week 1. They're a good defense, and good defenses punish bad teams as buffalo fans have to know too. Most of the teams that did well against them ran the ball fairly well to help slow their pass rush. They're a tough matchup for anyone.

I think the challenging part here is all 3 of the AFC south teams winning this week. The steelers winning out will also be a tricky scenario. Stroud is back for Houston, which definitely helps - but the WR group is not the same one he left with. They're also playing the titans, who while 2-3 in their last 5, are playing some decent football. They're playing tennessee who they just snuck by in OT with keenum. Ideally stroud gets you the advantage you need, but the titans did knock off miami and are probably a little pissed off about the recent loss. Jags are playing without lawrence, have lost 4 straight (last 2 have been by multiple scores, and they have 10 turnovers across 3 weeks), and need to win both in this scenario (houston and indy play one another so both cannot finish 10-7). Carolina isn't good, but they are not going to rollover. Week 18 in Tenn will also not be easy. Indy gets to play their last 2 at home, but they haven't been playing that consistently in weeks, and are very turnover dependent. Their poor rush defense faces a raiders team that pretty much will run it til you stop them. Should be interesting. Steelers need to win 2x on the road where they are 3-3 this year. They haven't scored more than 24 in any road game all year, and all 3 wins are by 1 score. Baltimore will rest starters if they beat miami. If they don't, miami will rest starters against buffalo.

Colts, Giants, Chargers in the rain, Steelers, and Broncos were the other 5. Not exactly murderer's row of QBs - can kinda sell out to stop the run games in most of those. 3 of their 4 wins were on the road, including their last two wins @Pitt and @Den. Pittsburgh: NE punted 9 times. Interception spotted them good field position for one drive, and another started close to mid field. They didn't score in the 2nd half - zappe threw a pick and the steelers couldn't score points from the 16 yard line. Denver: NE had 6 3 and outs and beat denver, who had 5. Denver spotted the ball at the 6 yard line to start the game and didn't score. Turnovers are one way Buffalo can lose. I don't see NE having more than a couple sustained drives in the game this week, dont spot them field position. Tackling should be a big focus. NOT FUMBLING should be a focus. Game plan should be those sustained drives that bill wants to give you - use cook and kincaid over the middle. Pick your spots for diggs. FG's aren't terrible in this one - and use Allen's legs to give them problems when they switch to man coverage.

He's taking himself off the field quite a bit. To me seems like likely a pain management issue. Foot, ankle, something like that.

36 total pass attempts the last 2 weeks means targets are low for everyone. His are probably especially low as we've been running a lot on first downs.

Passing short on the early downs - use the boundary in those 3x1 sets, Kincaid over the middle, easy stuff like that. Put them in tricky positions on 2nd down. I also like the idea of bringing in some of the spread formation stuff (even in a 12 personnel grouping) - Bill hates when Allen runs so he tends to not rush too deep and lets the stunts and DTS get pressure up the middle, so put some extra people down field and try and high low some of the backers. Mix in a no huddle look here and there after a successful play to prevent bill from getting creative. Switch from spread to a 2 TE look on 2nd and 3, no substitutions and you can either run or PA.

This one wasn't that egregious of a dive. He might have been able to stay on his feet, but i'm not sure. He was hit with a pretty forceful forearm, square in the upper chest near his neck, late, and he had just thrown and was backpedaling so i could see falling. To me it was a penalty, and a really stupid one at that.

I watch the wrestling "premium live events" on peacock - thats about it though. I was thinking of checking out the twisted metal show though, always loved those games when I had a playstation.

The break glass in case of emergency option for Johnson was already on the practice squad though.

I liked the tush push fake we pulled. Line up someone behind allen, then when the line moves in snap it and go into the vacated gap. If they don't move in, tush push, if they do, find some space.

As soon as his guy sheds he looks for more work. Gotta love that in a player. Head on a swivel looking to hit people.

Buffalo, Denver, Cleveland, Jax, KC, Miami, Baltimore

You got your QB, and hes pricey - so its a different sort of roster construction. They don't need a mini-rebuild like the chiefs did, or the bills probably will do. They need a full down to the studs one. At the deepest level they don't connect with the fans, they're almost a team without a country. Something needs to change there, and i haven't a clue what it is 🙂 At a roster level its a pillow soft team Offensively: Ekeler can go. Don't hate adding a vet back, just would like someone who can run between the tackles. It may be time to move on from Allen and Williams - and yes I'm aware they're good. Its time to turn the page there. Make a run at Pittman, Higgins, something like that. I'd also see them as a target for Bowers in the first depending where they draft. Bring in a vet corner, probably draft one early. Move mack, keep bosa - add pass rush via the draft. Probably 8-10 wins in year 1, but if you find a great corner it changes the nature of your defense and how you're able to play.

Eyes and hands. Both will do things when the ball is in the air.

If he turns his head around sooner he'll be able to play the ball, and potentially intercept it.

And rousseau. But replacements will be needed for players like AJE, Phillips, Lawson, DQ, Joseph, and Settle.

Its tough with needs at WR and Pass rusher. Maybe someone slips to the 3rd that you like though, its not usually a position teams prioritize in the first round.

We'd see 1.7M in dead cap in 2024 and 2025, and there would be ~2M in 2024 savings. This is pretty much the going rate for a backup corner in UFA.

I mean... shes an actress, and a pretty damn good one to play the lead at 14 and get nominated for an oscar. The scene where she's trading with the old men about horses is absolutely phenomenal.

Shes a 2x super hero! Spider-Gwen and Hawkeye, thats kinda cool, no?

Loved her in True Grit. The Jeff Bridges stories alone would be amazing!

I think maybe he thought he could play on it - then everyone got hurt and he could not play well on it.
