RoyBatty is alive

momentum ace

ok, i didnt see it i was just read what the OP wrote. So why not have goodwin go in motion sideways pre snap to get a good head of steam and then turn up field And goodwin is literally a world class speedster, not sure how many guys in the NFL could match him

true but Goodwin running to the line will be the ultimate "tell" as to when the ball will be snapped

I dont think it will catch on, two big problems with it. 1st, it has to be timed perfectly, if the timing is off by a second, easy to get offside and what if the receiving team moves blockers before the snap, there wont my any time to reset the blocking...... 2nd it will give the receiving team the go ahead when to start the rush

this is pretty spot on accurate and yet the Browns were playing for their jobs and respect. And when Edmunds can shed he is in the wrong gap or headed in the worng direction.

Actually Fitzpatrick would be a great backup/mentor for Allen.

Stick with Allen and Barkley. I am increasingly nervous re Allen but he needs another year and Barkley is very serviceable.

not a chance. And iagree with OP, the Pitt game will likely be the difference of the playoffs or not

Edmunds was TERRIBLE on 90% of the plays, absolutely TERRIBLE. Most of the time a total non factor. Yes he had a safety, had a tipped pass and two assists on tackles. Pitiful. And I must have missed all the times he supposedly stopped Chubb? I guess I missed those.

Good post. Edmunds showed up big? Going to disagree on that. Yeah he got a sack and safety and out side of that, otherwise, i think he had two assisted tackles. For an NFL MLB that is very, very hard to only get 1 tackle and rwo assists. Knox did have a great game. I think the woefully under utilized Singletary, 8 touches for over 5 yards a carry, against one of the worst run Ds in the league?

No, not on this team.

If he can properly diagnose the best mismatch available for the time/situation this is a positive, how Brady succeeds now. Esp with Dawkins whiffing.

I would vote for A

Look i never thought any games were Gimmes, thought the Bills were "overrated" by most and would lose to Cleveland BUT Miami beat the Colts because they had their third string QB Hoyer throw three picks. The Bills should beat the Phins.

Proabaly, following the Bill Belichek lite model. The nature of players and even worse coaches interviews is 98% of it is totally non-value added, predictable we are going to give it 110% pap.

Lorax is going to make a great coach

I am not. 1st the Casio might just cave in and offer $10k or nominal amount to just go away. 2nd The lawyer has a high profile client, he/she can now claim to be OJ's attorney, to a lot of simple minded people that is incredibly impressive 3rd Lawsuits, who knows, you might get lucky

Accurate, this game should be lot closer than I thought during pre-season, thought the Browns would kill us

Tremaine Edmunds is going to be key, we cant afford another game where he disappears, in the wrong gap and can't separate from his blocks

Yeah, that was pretty pretty bad. How about repeating the same run straight up the middle on the 4th down, we could have rolled out with Allen for an RPO and gained real yardage and selaed the game away, instead we got stopped again. Amazing how you can get away with poor calls when you play against poor teams, that muse be how Belichek feels when he game plans versus the Bills.

It never was going to work, the NFL from a business standpoint has a o lot of political infighting and dysfunction

You make good counterpoints, i would like to see it again. I get sick often watching WR from other teams constantly making one handed cicus catches and I am just hoping the Bills dont have any egregious drops. I think Zay Jones Buffalo tenure was sealed with the Allen selection, i dont think he could adjust to the velocity of the balls and why he dropped so many. Jones is much better fit with Oakland third sting playing catch with Peterman's rocket arm.

Great observations. Appreciate your clarity and honesty, after watching yesterday, it is clear right now Buffalo is not a dominant team, i dont care what record they have. Edmunds is a major concern on running plays, as you point out often in the wrong gap, he is also susceptible to misdirection and has a very difficult time shedding blacks. He needs to move to the outside, probably a SAM, MLB is not his calling unless it is pass happy team. Leave him in for obvious passing situations. On the Wallace/Peterson attempted tackle, i cant necessarily blame Wallace for not putting him down, Wallace is a thin CB ad Peterson is an animal. what Wallace did do was stop him and for PLENTY of time, like to see the film but the pursuit by other Bills was next to non-existent from what I saw. You stop any guy like that help should be there in a hurry. I think you were being charitable to Brown,a #1WR in the NFL has to make that catch and he failed.

If by some miracle we beat Dallas i cant imagine NOT going to the playoffs. And I agree on this re the play calling, " I'm not sure who is to blame, but my gut tells me Dabol is protecting Josh in a way that feels unnatural"

Unfortunately the NFL and their Refs are doing themselves any favors with the laughable replay on PI they instituted this year, situation is actually worse now IMO. No point in ever challenging them.
