Chargers fans seem like the most confident 3-7 fanbase ever. That said their take on their season is that Herbert plays out of his mind, then Anthony Lynn decides to run the ball for the sake of running the ball. Then Anthony Lynn makes a shoddy situational football decision and/or shows poor clock management and they lose by a possession. Rinse, repeat to a 3-7 record. Herbert actually scares me the least in this. McD and Frazier found ways to limit Mahomes and force Russell Wilson into mistakes. Philip Rivers used to sit in the pocket, get the ball out in two seconds, and throw about 20 7-yard completions in a row. Those were long afternoons.

I'd you don't already, watch the guys at Let's Talk Jets radio. The Jets organization knows all about hem.and hates them. So every Friday, they do an interview of Adam Gase where one of the hosts puts on a donkey mask with shades and gets roasted by all the viewers.

Barring an emergency, I don't think he plays a down in the NFL. It seems.more.like the program is designed to teach him.aboutthe NFL, then get him back over to the UK so he can start coaching/mentoring and growing the popularity of the sport. Looking at Rugby rules, it seems like it has nothing in common with football, except that there's tackling and it's played on a field with end zones.

SoI wouldn't be surprised if they move on from Harrison Philips next year. And even though he was enormous man, Jordan Phillips wasn't that stout of a run defender. We miss his sacks and pressures from the DT spot though. What's surprising to me from this thread is how much a supposed finesse defense like Frazier/McD's misses a very stout, traditional DT and a hybrid DE/LB.

I'm done being a snake-bit bills fan. We've got our franchise QB, the first since 1996, and I'm alright saying it.

I'd like a true NT to spell and eventually replace Star. Getting the most out of Tremaine means getting the most out of his athleticism, so we don't want him trying to shed linemen. Is there a 26 year old Haloti Ngata in next year's draft? If anybody knows of a linebacker that fits Zo's role in the upcoming draft, I'm all ears.

Right? All of sudden the Bills are relevant and the opinions of the talking heads matter. And, believe it or not, the team isn't perfect on both sides of the ball, in a shortened off-season, during a pandemic, where they're still 4-0 in the division and 7-3 overall, thanks to two great players making an insane play. You'd think this was Music City 2.0 instead of a non conference game before a bye.

Growing into a franchise QB is a great achievement. Playing like one for a decade is the next step.

Anybody living and dying with every game needs to get a grip. 7-3 at the bye, 4-0 in the division, and you'd think this team was playing like the Jets if you read this board. The team made a play and beat NE, they didn't and lost to AZ, that's just football. Jesus, after toughing it out since the Clinton administration, you'd think fans would be just a bit more even keeled.

I wouldn't be surprised if they get another rangy DE/LB hybrid in the draft this year. Epenesa seems to be a pure DE if/when he pans out into a starter. That said, I'm now worried about Trent Murphy holding contain.

Somebody should tell Josh and McD that they're supposed to be the Washington Generals to Kyler Murray's Globetrotters. It's like we're supposed to fly down to Arizona just to wash his jock.

Ah! Look! Whataboutism!

ESPN isn't worth saving. First it's like a retirement home for ex-Patriots. IDGF, get real jobs. Second it's about chasing almighty dollars and almighty ratings, so whatever passes for programming is just a lapdance for big market teams and big personalities. Third, it's geared to hot takes and BS so it's x's and o's content is garbage. Finally, I can build my own sports media environment of dedicated Bills podcasts and Bills YT channels, get what I want when I want, and for free. NBCSN's Premier League coverage smokes there's too, for the rare days I want to watch soccer.

Since we don't see the cards very often, I'm looking forward to reading their message boards. Hopefully there won't be any c. 2018 hot takes about Tim Tebow impersonator Josh Allen. Hopefully.

Whataboutism gets its name from the soviet tactic for dealing criticism of its many, many crimes. Example American: The soviet union deliberately starved 3 million ukrainians to death in the Holodomor, shot 16,000 Polish POWs in the Katyn Forest, and kept master pedophile Lavrenti Beria around as head of security. Soviet: Whatabout the blacks you lynch? In formal logic, this is called the "You Also!" Fallacy. Two people can do things that are bad. One person can steal a piece of candy, another can set a stray cat on fire. Just because both things are bad does not make them equally bad. Why it works is it turns an argument about morality into an argument about hypocrisy. Pointing out that someone is a hypocrite has everything to do with there character, and nothing to do with how true their statement is. But being able to call your opponent a hypocrite using "whataboutism" puts them on the back foot and starts a new discussion that buries the original point. Instead, you get a pissing contest where you defeat the argument by making your opponent look bad instead of refuting his facts or dissecting his reasoning.

Any true NT/1 Technique, then any above average/average OG.

Nice. I'm watching one of the fan based post game shows you can find on YT. They're pretty impressed that the Bills decided to pound the rock using outside zone simply because the Pats are awful at defending it.

Don Corleone when he sees threads like this one.

Hate reading opposition forums should be part of everybody's post-game ritual.

Anybody else then, I know the Cover 1 guys liked Washington's 1Tech. He's alright, healthy and has 2 years left on a rookie deal.

I hope so, this team needs a nose tackle more than anything right now. Preferably 2.

There's something really funny about this. "We're going to make New England's QB stand back there and play quarterback". "We aren't going to let the QB playing against Josh Allen beat us with his legs". I hope Stidham plays, I really do.

It helps that the evil genius is looking a lot less like Lex Luthor, and a lot more like Cobra Commander lately.

San Fran ran the ball all over Foxboro, for almost two hundred yards. They attacked the edges of the pats D, so that NE was breaking out their 6-1 front from the Rams SB to try and hold contain. Didn't work, but I don't think the Bills can threaten that like SF did. Now if the plan is to go into Foxboro and throw the ball 40 times I'm worried. Because that's when you'll see every wonky disguised coverage, fake look/trap and blitz BB can think of.
