    Honestly answering: Pass rush and takeaways.

     

    We play a bend-but-dont-break Defense which allows opponents up the field before forcing them to punt or settle for a FG. But we dont really go out and "SHUT IT DOWN".

     

    Lost our sack leader in FA (Phillips), but replaced those stats with Addison, hopefully. Although they play vastly different positions.

     

     

     

    3rd in the NFL in yards per game is pretty strong. They don't bend too much. 

     

    I know what you mean, it felt like they gave up more yards than you'd like, but teams are going to move the ball at times against any defense. 

  2. He's got a little kid, I get it. The idea of staying away for 5 months would be incredibly difficult, as is knowing you are potentially exposing your loved ones to a disease we don't fully understand. 

     

    My daughter is in daycare for the first time today because I have to start going back to work. Scares the crap out of me. If she ends up with some sort of life long health issues because of this, I'll never be able to forgive myself. 

     

    I can't blame these guys, if they have kids or don't, for opting out. Doesn't mean I'm not disappointed though.

    I did 23 years in law enforcement.  I would not be surprised if he literally forgot he had the gun in the luggage.  I know it sounds whacked but a fair number of people store their gun in their luggage at their home.  They pack for a trip and forget the damn gun is in there.  It would not be the first time I heard this.  

     

     

    My wife works for TSA and the amount of times she reads about someone accidentally bringing a loaded gun to the airport is alarming.

    I remember that pass to Josh Reed and had the same reaction to it.  Looked for a video of it a few years back but came up empty.  Was an amazing throw.

     

     

     

     

    2:50 mark.

     

    After the game my friends and I got lost on the way back to the metro, then my friend's metro card got eaten by the machineat the end of the trip so he jumped the turnstile so a cop stopped us. Since he was drunk, he started getting snippy with the cop, thankfully he let us go. That was a long day.

    It seemed to me that Royal did that a lot.

     

    Leodis - he did the one you mentioned - and then did the exact same thing vs. the Pats on a another Monday night game in 2015

    Yep. Against KC in 2014. We finished 9-7 and missed the playoffs but would have been 10-6 had McKelvin not set them up in scoring range with a punt return fumble. 

     

     

    My brain must have suppressed those memories or I was too inebriated to remember.

    Robert Royal is up there cause he sucked, his inability to keep his foot in bounds for a TD that one time sealed it.

    Which one?

    I liked Leodis, but that GD fumble against NE will forever piss me off. 

    Which one? 

     

    Lol, fair enough.

     

    For Royal it was the WR pass from Evans (I think). 

     

    For Leodis it was the Monday nighter near the end of the game. Were there others?

  7. I always had a soft spot for Trent. I just started really paying attention and watching the Bills around then. My first Bills game was Bills at Washington when he dropped a beautiful pass to Josh Reed to put them in FG position to win the game. I thought we were set. I was so young and foolish. 

     

     

    Peters' hold out pissed me off, so he's up there.

     

    I liked Lynch, but then he kept being a dumbass.

     

    I really liked Dareus and thought he was going to be a stud, then he kept fu'king up.

  8. Allen audibled or killed a play at the line, right? 

     

    I'm guessing (based on nothing specific from the game) that whatever play call Daboll gave Allen had a built in kill that Allen used because he didn't like the coverage. 

     

    I'm guessing Allen did this based off of what he's been told to look for and do. Instead of realizing the situation where he should have hiked it and threw it away quickly if it looked bad, he went back on what he's been taught and did that. 

     


    IF this is what happened, I can't get too upset with him. Playoffs, near the half, there's a lot going on. He'll learn. 

     

     

    If it was Daboll's play call, then he's a freaking moron.

    I don’t like this 

     

     

    For me it depends. Do they go out and run the ball two times and give Allen a quick throw, just so that they keep their week/pre-game routine and stay in rhythm? Or do they play 3 quarters and expose Allen to some hits and run QB draws on 3rd and 15. 

     

    I generally trust McDermott, so we'll see. 

  10. I would really like to see (but don't expect) every pass from Allen be a quick throw. We know he's solid in the intermediate routes, but he still needs to get better at quick throws and picking up easy yardage. This is a practice game, I want to see 1 and 3 step drops and a throw. I don't care if it's out of bounds on 3rd and 2. Don't risk injury and try to speed up his clock a hair. 

     

     

    I get wanting to get him reps, but for Christ's sake, don't expose the kid to hits in this meaningless game.

    I was going to post the same thoughts. And now an INT. Yet zero criticism from the announcers. If this were Allen, we'd be hearing all about his fatal flaws.

     

    Rodgers is definitely a player in decline.

     

     

    During the bucs game Winston missed pretty badly on three straight plays. The comments by the announcers were, he hasn't had time to gel with the receivers, the receivers aren't ready for the big stage, and how his thumb is bothering him. 

     

    For everyone else there's a reason they aren't performing, for Allen it's because he's inaccurate. I shouldn't care, but it does annoy me.

  12. Anyone watching? 

     

     

    Rodgers just missed a TD on a throw similar to Allen's miss to Knox at the end of the game. 

     

    Then he throws a little bit high and Adams dropped it. On the same play it looked like he could have had someone beyond the sticks. 

     

     

    I wonder if packer fans are calling him a bust for missing a few throws and plays or is that just bills fans? 

     

     

    Dumb thread I know, it just drives me nuts how people expect Allen to be perfect. Of course you want him to be perfect and he needs to get better to be in the same sentence as someone like Rodgers, but let's also give the kid a break once in a while.

  13. I wish the OP hadn't said "throw the game," because that's obviously something McDermott would never do. 

     

    I think it's fair to argue whether he held back and how much. Teams don't show their entire deck of cards every game. Pretty much every coach, every game holds a thing or two to their chest to save for the future, that is until the playoffs.

     

     

    Hell, I hope they've been putting the hard counts on 4th down to try and get people to jump only to take a TO or delay on film, just so later they can have Josh hard count a time or two and then actually run a play and catch the other team off guard. Everyone and their mother assumes they aren't going for it after he hard counts two separate times in this scenario, you have to think the defense is relaxing just a little bit at that point. 

     

     

     

  14. I hope they were holding back on defense. Cover1 and a few other people were talking about how NE has struggled a bit when the defense runs a diamond front and stunts and blitzes. I was inebriated and can't bring myself to re-watch the game, but I remember very little creativity up front on defense. I hope that was McDermott holding back, because I wanted them to be much more aggressive considering the lack of weapons on NE.

     

     

    I also hope they finally figured out that Josh is much better when the field is spread out in 11 personnel. I know it puts some pressure on the front 5 when the defense brings heat, but bringing it DiMarco or Smith isn't helping.

  15. I just don't get the move him inside side of the argument at this point. If they had a better prospect at RT, then sure, but he's the best long term option they have right now. RT has been so bad for years and they finally have the potential makings of a quality RT and we want to give up on it already?

     

    He's a mauler in the run game already. He can be a tad slow on speed rushers to the outside, but Josh has shown the ability to step up and buy time. He's gotten better with more reps and just had his best game against a premier rusher. Let's give him the year and an offseason of training before we throw him inside.
