Sammy Watkins' Rib

stuffed still means you gain half a yard. Tush push is basically guaranteed half yard every time by design. Two plays to pick up one yard means the only call that should be made is tush push.

I’d feel pretty good if the Bills won last week. And the incompetence of not realizing that consecutive tush push plays at 3rd and goal from the one was the only right option is mind boggling.

That seems a little premature. Steelers have @ Eagles, @ Ravens, vs. Chiefs, vs. Bengals remaining.

Last week McD was quoted that they tried some man to man against the Rams but they drew some penalty flags. To me that is an issue. I don't care if the defense gets a couple of flags playing man to man. You stick with it. Force the refs to throw a flag on every play. They won't.

I'm sure this will get a lot disagreement reactions but I'd prefer to play the Chiefs at Arrowhead over the Ravens at Highmark.

Umm, game was played on the exact same day (12/15) some 34 years ago featuring a non conference opponent that the Bills would later see in the Super Bowl. Many think this is a potential Super Bowl preview.

Oddly enough, the two highest scoring teams in league history (2013 Broncos and 2007 Patriots) both started the season with 8 game streaks of 30+ points and both failed to reach 30 points in their 9th game.

They had their best offensive outing in any of the four playoff games they played. That includes their home win against the banged up Dolphins defense in the WC. The Bills have handled the Chiefs in four straight regular seaon games. Important to note that the Chiefs offense has been statistically poor or average at best for two straight seasons now. They need a good showing tomorrow which would be keeping a team like the Lions to around 30 give or take a couple points.

He won the Jets game for us with multiple TD saving plays in a one score game. The 49ers game could have actually been close without his contributions. Douglas played like crap last week. Either him or Hamlin are our weakest links in the secondary. I’m eager to see Elam and what he might bring. Hope Rapp is back soon. Rapp has been tremendously good this year. Why would we bring Bishop in other than injury?

I think he gets it this week. Seven TD’s. Josh Allen did say he needed to do more last week? 7 TD’s should ensure the W.

Thought the tile was a typo. I totally forgot about Hamler.

They pretty much already lost a one score game. Bills up by 2 with two minutes left 4th and 2. They were in a one score game with an excellent chance to get the ball back and win like they have been doing all year. But Bills out Chiefed the Chiefs.

So far that's actually the best part of their relationship. Unlike that Kansas City team where we have to see Taylor Swifts reaction to every single Travis Kelce play.

Declare you are onside kicking and receiving team can only have 8 players. And they have to have a hand tied behind their back and a leg in a potato sack with a teammate.

Was checking True Grit rating to see if it would be a good movie for family movie night (8 and 11 year old girls and we almost never have consensus on movie choice) and learned today is Hailee Steinfeld's birthday. 28 years young today. It's been nearly 15 years since I have seen True Grit but I recall it was a good movie. Common sense media gives it a 15+ rating but worst rating is 4/5 for violence and scariness and only a 1 for sex, romance and nudity. Wife usually approves such movies.

Would love to see the onside kick replaced with a 4th and 15 or 4th and 10 from your 30 yard line play. Only problem I see if having ticky-tack fouls influence the success or failure of the play. I feel like a first foul for either team should not succeed or kill the try but rather change it to 4th and 5 or 4th and 15 if play started as 4th and 10. Second foul by same team would end or succeed the attempt. As for replay assist they need to just put it back in the coaches hands. Let them challenge two plays a game just like with current replay rules. Inevitably, in a big moment, with an obvious miss or non call the replay assist guy is going to be on his restroom break.

I know, right?

It’s pretty absurd 2020 and 2023 were his best chances at MVP out side of this season. He’s had some bad luck including this year. If Saquan wasn’t a threat to break the rushing record Allen would be all but guaranteed to win. If Saquan breaks the record I honestly think it will be close to a toss up as to who wins. That’s some bad luck. How often does a running back break the all time rushing record? 2020 I thought Rodgers legitimately deserved it over Allen. Last year was a joke though and Allen was robbed.

yes and no. Allen was at a 34 TD deficit to Mahomes after year one. That has totally evaporated. So the pace has been heavily in Allen’s favor with every passing year.

Sunday was a big day for Josh Allen. With his six total TD's, he now has the most total TD's in a QB's first 8 seasons. The kicker of course is that Allen won't even start his 8th NFL season for another 9 months. Statmuse- Most Total TD's first 8 seasons Allen currently sits at 254 total TD's and counting with 4 games to go. On Sunday he passed Peyton Manning (253) and Patrick Mahomes ( 252) to leap from third to first. Mahomes of course is wrapping up his 8th season and will find himself in second place on the list with two more TD's. It goes without saying that Sunday was also the first time in the Allen/Mahomes era that Allen (254) leap frogged Mahomes (252) for the most total TD's in their careers. The totals going into Sunday's games was Mahomes with 251 to Allen's 248. Pretty impressive closing of the gap when you consider that after Allen's rookie 2018 season he was 34 TD's behind Mahomes. And Mahomes himself didn't exactly stop scoring TD's as he would go on to total 39, 40 and 45 TD seasons after his breakout 52 TD 2018 season. Since the start of the 2022 season both Allen and Mahomes have played 46 games. Their raw passing efficiency numbers are nearly identical. Mahomes has exactly 1,000 moe passing yards and Allen has about 700 more rushing yards along with six times the rushing TD's. Allen boasts a better TD to Turnover ratio over this span. Since start of 2022 seasons 46 games played for each: Josh Allen: 11,622 pass yards 87 pass TD 37 INTs 96.3 rating 1,702 rushing yards 32 rush/rec 11 fumbles lost TD 13,324 total yards and 119 total TD's 2.5 : 1 TD to Turnover ratio Patrick Mahomes: 12,622 pass yards 88 pass TD 37 INTs 97.2 prating 995 rushing yards 5 rush TD's 3 fumbles lost 13,617 total yards and 93 total TD's 2.3 : 1 TD to Turnover ratio

Exactly. They played ultra conservative because at that point they could But if we used our 3 timeouts and there was like a minute left still after 4th down they would have been calling more aggressive plays on 1st, 2nd and 3rd down. They might even be tempted to go for it on 4th down. Personally, I would have thrown the ball on 1st and 2nd down. Third down I probably do the tush push play. But absolutely don't call a timeout if it fails. And then 4th down do the tush push again. Make them stop it two times in a row. I actually don't hate the call for the tush push. It's a very high probability play that just didn't work out. Problem is calling the timeout. That lost us about 25 seconds. Should have had another play ready to go and just get to the line quickly only using about 15 - 18 seconds.

Who didn’t have a bad game in the secondary? Maybe Benford? Honestly, I don’t think Johnson, Douglas, Rapp or Ingram made a single positive play all game that I can recall. I am having a hard time time believing that an up to speed Hyde would have made a bit of difference yesterday. Now to the secondary’s defense the D-line and scheme did nothing to make Stafford uncomfortable. That is probably the biggest problem.

Dolphins totally manhandled this Rams team. The Dolphins. Any given Sunday or every Divisional Round playoff game if you are the Bills.

Bend but don’t break. That’s the defensive stand we needed on the first drive.

Home field is guaranteed to be on the line with the game less than two weeks away and three games remaining after.
