  1. It won't they have to fix it. Was interesting to me that both coordinators mixed up tendencies early yesterday. I think it is mainly an inexperience at coordinator issue. Hopefully yesterday was a meaningful step forward.
  2. In this iteration of the Bills? No. Because they have shown they have a problem there. Have I in previous years? Yes, because they have demonstrably been really good there.
  3. He played almost exclusively safety in KC though. He did some nickel in Arizona but at Kansas City he was a safety.
  4. Chris Harris at his peak in Denver. I know he played outside a bit too but he was mainly a nickel and a game changing one. He is the only one I'd put in that category off the top of my head.
  5. I've just called the pool. Your daughter is booked in for lessons every Thursday night, Monday night and all day Sunday for the next three and a half months. You're welcome.
  6. Meh. I am not a massive fan of Davis's vision. He has good burst, he is a decisive runner and he always falls forward, but vision wouldn't be one of his major strengths.
  7. It is the #1 thing I look for when I evaluate backs. It is why I was never a Breece Hall truther, he wouldn't see a pumpkin in a cornfield.
  8. Win the next two. Get to 8-2. Then I think the Bills find a way to at least split those 4 games. I know we lost to Baltimore and Houston but we have beaten good teams in the regular season plenty over the years and this group is getting better as they go.
  9. I think Taron IS the second best player on the team but in terms of just this year he has only played half the games and he played like 2 series in the first of them so that keeps him out of the conversation for now for me.
  10. This is the right answer. I don't think it is close personally. I think Shakir, Cook and Rousseau all have legit cases for #3. But #2 is clear in my mind.
  11. He also can't lead. I think that is just a really difficult thing for a QB to overcome. His body language is awful. I agree his actual ability to throw the football is still there. It is mobility, drive, and a little bit his processing speed which seems to have slowed that I question.
  12. This is completely right. I think basically the moment he had Mike McCarthy run out of town (and to be clear he was right on McCarthy but the Packers allowed Aaron to politic behind the scenes and interfere in the decision) he got a sense that he was and should be bigger than the team.
  13. The problem with the organisation is definitely Johnson. But Rodgers has detroyed this iteration of the team. It was a young energetic, excited and motivated group when he got there. And he has sapped that from them. He is a horrible leader. Rex will get an interview for that job after the year. I am convinced.
  14. Oh I got that far...
  15. The have two legit edge rushers. That is part of it. Quarterbacks rarely stay comfortable for long. But Josh played his worst half of the season in that game as well which was part of the story vs Buffalo.
  16. We all know the main mistake they made yesterday was winning a game against an NFC team. Everyone is aware that reduces your playoff chances.
  17. I have no idea what that means 😆
  18. The defense has taken a significant step back this season, especially since they fired Saleh.
  19. COOPER TROOPER!!! I literally only hear the clips they play out on the morning show of him calling the big plays and that makes my ears bleed. Three hours of that must be insufferable. Poor Eric Wood.
  20. 100% correct. If Drake Maye can play I expect the Pats to be relevant before either of them.
  21. Meh. I know the big man INT came on a blitz but it was one of only two that worked all day (the other was final drive, game over). Mainly we just give up chunks on them. I hate them. I think there is a lot of good in what Babich is trying to do this year, without a dominant pass rusher, with his top two linebackers out most of the year, with his two best players on defense - Oliver and Taron - both having missed time and with borderline NFL talents at safety. But I don't love his tendency for what I call a "frustration blitz". It was my least favourite thing about McDermott calling it last year too. We still are 3rd or 4th lowest blitz % in the league, which is encouraging. But in certain moments they are the thing most likely to make me curse during a game.
  22. putting it here, but just listening to last night's WGR post game show while I make breakfast and lord alive.... people started drinking early yesterday. Even by the normal standard it was bizzaro world.
  23. The Jets two years ago were the team I was worried about. Nice collection of young talent, coach who they played hard for and still some cap space and draft capital to play with. They needed a Quarterback. But the one they traded for brought his oversized ego with him and has ruined the team.
  24. Sure, but for the many things people can say about Stef and criticise him for I don't think he has ever been a guy who plays for the money. I don't think that is his motivation. Getting out of Buffalo was certainly not about the money for him. If it is an ACL, and obviously I hope it isn't, the bigger question is how does that affect his already dminished speed and how much value does he have when he returns? 12,000 yards matters much more to Stef I think if it is an ACL that probably slides out of view somewhat.
  25. He was before my time but watching the clip of the Kelly touchdown he has the same trait that all old play by play guys seemed to have - he just says what he can see. It is the same with the great old soccer play by play guys over here. They didn't overcomplicate they described what was happening. I feel like both sides of the pond we have a generation of announcers constantly searching for the soundbite. The irony is the soundbites come naturally when you just do your job.
