All of this is exactly what is called into question by Kryk's article. They made their priorities well known by signing Star and Trent Murphy in UFA and using three of the first four draft picks on defensive players.

The Carolina connection was there with Norwell just as it was for the $50M Star they signed at DT.

To the contrary, OG Andrew Norwell was available in UFA. A position of major need.

It's not happenstance. The acquisition of the their excellent offensive personnel was driven by the overall philosophy and strategy.

You can claim that all you'd like. I watched it over again. A tipped ball would have negated all of the talk about contact within 1 yard of the LoS. The officials never discussed a tipped pass because it wasn't.

It was not tipped and wasn't part of the consideration made by the officials on the field or in the official NFL explanation video.

It's no different than a WR rubbing out or picking off a DB within the same area. It's all fair game under the rules.

With the way the rules are it's hard for the best defenses, no matter how well built, to contain teams like KC, NO, LAR, and NE. That's why the approach should be called into question.

The DB drove on the ball to make a play. 100% legal with no contact to the head.

Whoa!

No the refs told him that the contact occurred within 1 yard of the LoS and therefore no PI.

The prime example, though, may be the Buffalo Bills. First-time, second-year GM Brandon Beane and first-time, second-year head coach Sean McDermott deserve credit for a fabulous job in delivering a sharp upgrade on defence via the draft and free agency, and coaching up that defence on the field. Too bad it’s come at the expense of the offence, at the worst possible time maybe in NFL history. For instance, last year McDermott (before Beane arrived as GM) passed on drafting either Patrick Mahomes or Deshaun Watson with the No. 10 overall pick. Instead McDermott traded down with Kansas City, to No. 27, thereby enabling the Chiefs to gladly snare Mahomes at 10th overall, beating out Houston and Arizona (then coached by Mahomes-loving Bruce Arians) for that right. Of all Bills blunders this young century, that might go down as the worst. McDermott and Beane have only compounded the mistake with a series of further QB misjudgements.

It was not.

It's a 100% legal play by the defense as already discussed in the other thread on this subject.

McDermott: "You need your quarterback to play well on a consistent basis" As per usual to start the work week, Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott joined WGR Sports Radio 550 after his Monday press conference with the media. Here are some of the notable comments from McDermott's time with Mike Schopp.

Jeff George said he would play if Allen and Anderson aren't ready.

It better not take 3-4 years to begin winning. He and Beane need to show results next season.
