Miyagi-Do Karate

Isn't it funny to have post-season pressers like this? In the past, there would be 15 minutes of technical issues, an empty podium, and then they would shuffle in, and we would hear who might get fired and how they could improve on a 5-win season.

In my view, CEH is just a guy, and proves my point about RB’s not really being worth drafting high. chiefs have CEH—1st round pick—who looks pretty solid, but they have a guy in Darrel Williams who is just about in the same league, and he was undrafted. that said, I am not opposed to a RB. What I am opposed to is moving off the order of the board to pick a RB in the 1st with a big name when we can probably get an upgrade either later in the draft or in FA. That was the Bills MO for years, reaching to get splash RB’s like Lynch, Spiller, and McGahee. I don’t like the strategy.

It is a total waste. RB’s are a dime a dozen. People need to understand that when you draft around 30, the philosophy also changes. you really have to stick to your board. Oftentimes you can get one of the higher rated interior linemen or ILB or safety around there. The Bills can’t be reaching for gadget guys or niche players.

Twin peaks will suck you in. In college, my buddies and I binged it— it was so memorable. I have thought about re-watching.

yeah, it’s a joke. All we heard about for years was needing to get Spiller in “space.”

This sounds like me ten years ago arguing why we needed to keep fred Jackson over marshawn lynch!

I was watching the game highlights today from the Bucs/Chiefs game to see how they defensed Brady. it was pretty similar. How did Brady handle it? Check downs. Gronk and Jones had huge days on simple crosses and dump downs. I think those were there last night and josh didn’t take them. I also think the little crosses to Knox were there all night— but were rarely called. Once, I think. The chiefs can’t cover those very well. Other teams target their LB’s and Sorenson in coverage on those.

Um— you do know rosy cheeks is a symptom of mumps? Unreal.

I feel like I remember Pettine sending a delayed blitz on a Hail Mary when he was with us, and it was brilliant. Super effective—QB couldn’t get the pass off.

I believe he is now employed by NASA.

it’s called the “Bile chick heritage classic” per the thread title. I am not sure if it is connected to the “josh has yellow coloring” thread.

Time to amputate that liver.

Wow re Beasley. That’s even more impressive now that we know how gimpy he was.

Dubya!!

Sorry, sorry, not sorry, sorry, sorry....

I like it. But even this dog would probably let Kelce catch a bunch of 8-yard passes before biting his leg. by the way, Kelce seriously had zero bad games this year. The closest he came was against the Broncos, where he only had 3 catches for 30 yards. But that was because the chiefs scored so many defensive and ST TD’s in that game, that they didn’t really use their offense.

I really like the idea of getting Rex Burkhead on the cheap as a replacement for both Taiwan Jones and TJ Yeldon. He can fill both their roles on offense and ST. The risk is health— 31 years old and coming off a torn ACL. But seems like we could get him for cheap.

agree. I can’t tell you the sense of calm I have with those guys locking down the back. They are reliable and fundamentally sound.

Is Levi only a RFA? If so, then they will tender him and he will remain as the 2. Would love to see Dane though work in the mix and take over Norman’s spot.

Gaines and answer shouldn’t be in the same sentence. Dude won’t make it out of OTA’s without an injury. Re Dane, his problem is speed, as far as I can tell from his limited snaps. I noticed him a few times getting run by and he doesn’t have the closing speed of Levi.

this is legendary.

As @DCOrange mentioned, Burkhead is a free agent. That guy is a killer at figuring out how to get those short 3rd down conversions-- plays violently and contorts is body really well. Then he brings the dimension as a great pass catcher. I assume his blocking is good, but am not sure. But I am loving the idea of Burkhead now in FA.

Agree entirely. I would love to grab White or Burkhead. That’s exactly the type of RB this offense needs. We need to run a bit more to keep teams honest, but we shouldn’t be messing with our identity. Just look at the chiefs— it’s not like they were pounding the rock last night.

maybe not every play— that is probably an exaggeration. But they needed to double Jones more. I am pretty sure he was 1 on 1 with Mongo all night. Steelers blitz a lot too— and the Bills figured out how to double Hayward, block Watt, and protect Allen.

They needed to double Jones on every play— the same way they treated Hayward.
