What was the last serious weather game we had at home before this past weekend, was it that snow game vs Indy? Because in a dome we would have crushed them, and instead the weather evened up the game and almost killed our drought-breaking playoff appearance before it happened. Edit: I see that this discussion has happened since you posting this, and that I am behind. I'll still leave this here

Yeah, the only time I remember him deviating a little bit from this was with Zay, who was out the door days later.

I agree. Follow it up with Mahomes, Mack, Kittle, and Donald, and we should be set for the stretch run.

I don't want to go back to Tyrod at all, and like Allen. I just answered the question Tyrod was 5-2 at one point in his last year here too

Tyrod: 22-20 Allen: 10-8

Seriously.

Are you sure? i've read a million posts in a million threads stating that the pick was already a massive waste. If only we had that jacked WR that dropped the football while carrying it with no contact on what could have been a game-saving drive

It was awful. Part of it is the bandwagon effect. I teach classes at a college in Oklahoma and polled my students to see what NFL teams are cheered for in a fairly neutral area (most of our students are natives of Oklahoma or Dallas, Texas). There were 3 Eagles fans for every fan of any other team combined in the league out of my ~250 students. In what should be either neutral ground or Cowboys territory for the few NFL fans that exist.

The RB picked one spot before Devin had 27 carries today. What is the purpose of Singletary's usage? And what is the evidence that it's worthwhile?

I don't even disagree with you but my god you're so ***** annoying This is an Edmunds thread

I'm pretty sure their rookie #26 had about 130 rushing yards before ours got a single carry. Then he scored a brilliant touchdown for us, after a nice 12 yard run (that was called back). Daboll killed a drive when he stopped running, and then went 3 and out the next one with 3 straight passes, after gaining about 50 yards mostly on the ground. He's a problem, and it's not just this week. What is it with McDermott Bills and this time of the season? 5-2 in his first year, followed by 3 straight blowout losses, in which we probably gave up 600 yards on the ground. The same thing started happening last week and continued this week. They need to adjust, and they need to do it yesterday. It happened last year too - after week 5, we lost 4 in a row, being blown out most of the time as well. We play Washington, Cleveland, and Miami next. They simply have to stop the characteristic tumble right here, and right now, against these bad teams. Edmunds was so ugly this game. So was Star. And Wallace cannot handle big WRs. Just fix it.

Hey may as well retire if it's over after seven games, eh? This attitude is silly, even if you do end up being right years down the line. Take a deep breath man.

You could see this coming from week 1. Someone, usually Phillips or Lawson, would line up in the NZ clearly probably 40% of the snaps. It was one of those "do it all the time and they can't call it every play" things, but they started calling it, and we didn't stop doing it.

Nice kicker Chicago. God dammit

These guys lined up in the neutral zone almost every play for 5 weeks, now that they've been caught...they keep doing it, because they're morons. They've now taken 3 or 4 flags for it in just 2 weeks. Drinking their own kool aid. Hope they're humbled by this. Pathetic.

Someone HAS to link Francesca's reaction to this after he spent those two weeks we beat up on his teams trashing Allen as a quarterback.

Boo these clowns off the field.

He must be thinking of Dallas.

Every single week a not-insignificant portion of posts here goes directly to how (sometimes good, much more often awful) any crew in the Bills game is. This board is why I know the names and voices of literally any announcing crew, and can rank all by preference. But when people get upset about the things that are said, it's 100% of the time because they're said about Beth, which is eye-roll-inducing because there are insults hurled all over the place at announcers here any given week.

Here's an outline. He was a disaster, and his last starts contain bottom 5 QBing performances I've ever seen. https://www.foxsports.com/nfl/story/colin-kaepernick-49ers-start-chip-kelly-nfl-buffalo-stats-career-highlights-fantasy-101116

Nailed it. So insightful. It's incredibly important that we broadly paint large groups of people we don't know on the internet with accusations of utterly fundamental, evil character faults - it's the only way for meaningful dialogue and growth as a nation

Happily. By the end, he was sailing passes on 6 yard out routes 10 feet over guys' heads, and couldn't recognize when defenses were pulling CBs off his WRs entirely, leaving them with 20 yards of space between them and the nearest defenders. His coach gave him one read plays and he essentially wasn't allowed to throw the ball past the sticks. This was literally three years ago. If he was that bad three years ago and hasn't touched a football in a serious situation since, his ability to play is almost certainly significantly below where it needs to be to be a backup QB. A backup QB is, ideally, a player that fits well into his team's system stylistically, even if he's not as talented as the starter. There are no systems that involve devolving/breaking every single play to have a prayer for a meaningful completion.

In 2016, the Cardinals were so indifferent to the idea of him throwing the ball that they pulled both corners off of the WRs. The WR on the left sideline never had anyone line up on him. The CB covering the guy to the right walked to the DE as the snap was about to happen, leaving both WRs with nobody anywhere near them. Kaep not only didn't complete a throw to one of two wide open options, he didn't even notice that this had happened despite his WRs screaming at him, and handed the ball off up the middle for no gain. He was reduced to a 1 read QB and that read was never allowed to be 10 yards down the field. He was benched for Gabbert twice. We have played almost three full seasons since these games and he hasn't seen the field for any of this time, in a league where a wall of fame caliber guy like Fred Jackson can go from hero to cut in three offseason months, much less three years. Why on earth would any team even consider this, and that's without coming within a mile of talking about the political stuff?

Losing that undefeated season before Columbus day, nice

Yeldon, who inexplicably stopped running.
