Bleeding Bills Blue

Diggs was getting mugged quite a bit in the game and there were some borderline ones that the refs let have the "let them play" treatment. Generally they were hitting him quite a bit when he did catch the ball. Not every team will follow - but i assume he's going to see a steady diet of gilmore this week if i had to guess.

Pickens seems like a real headache though. Assuming if the trade isn't made - the ravens take linderbaum and dallas takes elam, i probably would've taken Smith.

How about a harty sighting?! Not a game ball but man what a huge catch.

Without an injury? I don't see it. Benford didn't have his best game in coverage but he forced a fumble.

He wasn't even like... wide.

He does have that kamara ability to run fast while looking like hes not running fast.

KC does have a solid defense - and they were doing a lot with simulated pressure to throw off our timing.

Absolutely worked multiple times - Shakir and Sherfield both had first downs from that. We also had a fake drawn up perfectly if Allen can get that ball to davis over the top before pressure got there. It's also an RPO so... if terms dictated a run play we probably do run it there. After the incompletion i don't like running it into a heavy front knowing you probably wont gain yards to set yourself up for 3rd and 10. After the drop you have to pass since the first down there does a lot for your chances of winning.

2-2 outdoors vs 8-1 indoors. Prescott stats Comp % goes down about 8%, and it was pretty similar in 2022 (1-3 record, same lower comp % and half of his INT's in 4 games). Their 4 outdoor games: 40-0 win @NYG - 143 yards passing - they had a pick 6 and a blocked FG TD. 33-10 win @Car - Rookie QB had 123 yards passing and was sacked 7 times 28-23 loss @Phi - Probably should have won tbh - eagles had 4 long drives and otherwise weren't doing much. The ferguson no TD was probably the big game shifter here, but they certainly didn't do enough to blow them out. Lamb had a big fumble at the end too. Prescott played excellent. 42-10 loss @SF - They played terrible all around and Dak was especially terrible netting 140 yards across 27 called passes with 3 interceptions. They also lost on the road against Arizona and won against LA, but both of those were in domes. He didn't play especially well in either game.

Right through lewis hands too - would have been hilarious if he got the ball or deflected it. I saw the flag fly immediately on the snap so i knew something was wrong alignment wise. I wasn't sure if our guy lined up Offside or if they didn't have 7 on the LOS or something.

From what i read online - RPO and the WLB crashes so its 2 blockers vs 2 DBs. Read is right and if he catches it he probably gains a few and the clock runs to the 2 minute warning. After that you can ideally run to get that first down and kill timeouts and potentially kick a game winner with no time. The other thought is - get 7 so they need 7.

He wasn't Offside. The ball was a good 1/2 to 3/4 of a yard behind the blue line. The blue line is where he could have snapped it from if he wanted to (line judge was straddling the blue line), but humphrey snapped from a decent amount behind the line and von timed it.

Was a first down to shakir and sherfield when they ran it. Basically its the same RPO - if the OLB crashes you throw that every time. They know its coming but they have 2 blockers vs. 2 DBs and you can run to the sideline for an easy gain. If the OLB doesn't crash you can hand off and you have a better count. It was a rough drop at the end of the game, most people want to run there and see how KC plays with their timeouts. I kinda didn't hate passing there simply because playing for 3 only works if you can get the first down. Otherwise you may as well try and score 7 if you're giving mahomes the ball back with 2ish minutes.

I felt he was held and interfered with a number of times. They were also hitting him early and often.

I mean.. imagine the shock after losing that game though. Obviously he's deflecting blame and pissed off. In a loss like that, everyones pointing fingers - the seasons over and everyones unhappy. I like the idea of getting some understanding of the locker room and the long form story. But to just take like... quotes about something that happened years ago and not really contextualize it. Were people arguing? People say dumb stuff when they're arguing.

He's just doing what the PR department told him to do.

I still blame levi wallace for that. I don't care what freaking defense is called. You cant line up across from no one.

No - but most reputable news sources have an editor to vet them. Or to examine and evaluate biased writing. This is a blog.

No it isn't. He's a journalist without a country. His job is to generate subscriptions for his website. It's basically a blog - since there is no editor to vet your sources or remove the considerable bias associated with it.

I dunno, when allen starts doing superman celebrations, shying away from loose balls, and talking like a jackass in his press conferences it might become an issue. When he scored that TD a few years ago and screamed "IM BAAAAAAAACK" that was the last straw for me. We're not back, cam's back.

Come listen to my podcast! Perfect "look at me" energy.

I mean - read the first paragraph. It basically says " i hate this guy, he sucks at coaching and here's a bunch of anonymous people who agree with me" I mean... we kinda need the pats to pull this one out.

I mean - i think he wanted him to say something like - Blown away by the generosity but I can't accept it, i'll donate it to charity or something

To me he always came off as a really selfish player. You can have them, but they shouldn't be the face of your franchise or your QB for that matter. Not good for the locker room, the meetings etc.

Not paying 8 dollars to read an article - you can buy books for that and it's a total hit piece. The top thing is the 9/11 one. There's a thing about him being pissed about the WRs buying the coach a car and not wanting him to be friends with players. When Brad pitt says in a movie you shouldn't be friends with the players because you need to be able to cut them - its a good point - but when mcdermott relays the same message, he's a tight ass. Something about him disliking cam newton and blaming him for ruining the panthers. Not wrong IMO - Cam's a selfish dude and made that team about him. Teams win, not players.
