RoyBatty is alive

I could describe the movie a lot of ways, one of the last that would come to mind was "hilarious". I found the tone dark and depressing .

Great point, yep I would be spying Allen too if I was a DC versus him so a RB screen is problematic. Now TE and WRs screens make a lot of sense, esp if Kincaid pans out

Yep. The great Nathaniel Hackett is going to get steamrolled by Rodgers similar what happened to him in Denver with the Broncos "savior" Russell Wilson last year. So far they have added the old has been receiver Randall Cobb. We will be able to see what kind of de-facto OC Rodgers can be.

i hope you were being facetious, this is NEVER going away.

I think Hines was a de-facto Isaiah McKenzie replacement that wont drop as many balls. I agree, we should actually THROW once in a while to our RBs, especially Cook and Hines, they both have speed and operate well in space. Maybe do something radical this year like a screen pass to a RB, maybe our O Line with Kromer in and Dorsey in year 2 can actually design some plays.

The concept of aggressive defensive play on receivers in the playoffs has plagued the Bills for decades really. Multiple coaches don't understand or cant gear up defenders in playoff football which is almost always called differently than regular season, especially the Super Bowl. How did the Bills lose the Super Bowl versus the Redskins, it was rampant pass interference that was never called. It was so aggressive Andre Reed finally lost it and REED got a penalty for his outburst. When he got that penalty game was, imo, effectively over.

Yes we can do some outside motion with them but now we do have more "size". Lets see if they have "solved" their totally inept guard play this year, combined with Harris I think they could actually run the ball for TDs.

Roger Ebert called the Brown Bunny" the worst movie in the history of Cannes". Gallo responded by calling Ebert a "fat pig with the physique of a slave trader".

More or less, not directly but it is implied, a lot of outside shots of Buffalo. Type of movie you only want to watch once but it is interesting.

Totally realistic

Well I will "ride" on his injury last season as an "excuse". Either it was his innate ability or Davis was the luckiest receiver in the world in the playoffs, just everything clicked (looking at the film it is hard not to disagree) or it was a total on off situation.

And 2 of 3 gonzo. 3 in the bottom 20 is ridiculous. We had little choice but to keep Davis. It wasnt as if Mckenzie/Singletary were dropping bullets thrown by Allen, that I could understand a bit. Also lends credibility to why the wanted Kincaid so desperately, a player that has the best hands in years. Didnt Knox have a lot of drops his first two years? He seems to have cleaned it up or I am wrong.

I hate to agree with you. Hines record as a RB is not impressive. He has averaged 3.9/yc and in 5 years scored 10 rushing TDs. Looking at his numbers I dont really understand the trade beyond the Bills were unimpressed by Moss and wanted to move on, just as they did with Singletary, clean out the RB room and also move on from McKenzie as a return specialist..

And it is only a matter of time before he gets hurt in the pocket , so what. Simple fact is statistically Josh is "safer" on his design runs than in the pocket. You are right none of us have crystal balls.

I think the planned runs by Allen are fine, he doesn't get hurt by them. His injuries happen in the pocket, I like the designed runs but we just have too many, it is like a crutch, when we really needs yards they dial up a planned run.

well you certainly honed right to the heart of the problem

Makes sense, I have no idea if Hines can pass block. Cook is supposed to be a great receiver as a RB, lets see if Dorsey can adequately use him. Just like Kincaid at TE, lets see what Dorsey can scheme up to utilize him to the utmost.

I don't necessarily disagree with you but think that was more or less decided when we added Harris and Murray. He will be a return man/backup RB and gadget player. A McKenzie that doesn't drop the ball as much.

Thanks for stating the obvious with another value added opinion.. Life must be very difficult for you, too many variable, you cant predict anything.

I think both will have a major uptick in playing time and productivity in 2023. We all know how difficult it is for rookies in the NFL and how reticent McDermott is to play rookies. Both now have a year and I think both have have a great season. James Cook. On his first career carry, Cook fumbled which really put him in the dog house. With the exception of the blowout win 41-7 over the Titans, Cook averaged only 3.7 carries a game until December after which he averaged 8.6/game, among other factors took a while for them to have faith in him. He only had 89 total carries for the years with 507 yards, an impressive 5.7/carry (even if you take out his longest run, a TBD favorite stat, it was still 5.4/carry). He didn't have much in terms of a seasoned RB room with Zach Moss and Devon Singletary. I think the addition of veterans Murray and Harris (the "patriot way", fwiw) can only help. Most importantly, the Bills made a concerted effort to beef up the interior of the O Line. He can crack through the front line with some real O line help, he might get into the open to use his speed. Also more experience receiving the ball. I think the much maligned Dorsey could even split him out as a WR. In combination with the hybrid WR/TE Kincaid, could present some real match opportunities. He isnt the biggest back and probably never be a 200+ carry/year, (good reason to have Murray and Harris) but I think in yards from scrimmage, he can crack 1,000 yards. Kaiir Elam. I strongly encourage listening to the Cover 1 interview with Kaiir Elam. The easy manner he can discuss in depth how he reads and bates the QBs is entertaining, not something I expected from a 1 year experience player. And he answered decisively, he appeared to know what he is supposed to do cold. I love it when talking about Pickett he said he was "young" and tried to be a "gunslinger", not arrogantly just matter of fact and how he baited Pickett to throw the int. He studies his opponents and if you recall, on the draft interview he had notes on all the college receivers he faced, it wasn't marketing ploy, i think it was legit. He came out of Florida , transition from more man and it takes time to master the NFL zone coverages, one of the factors why he had a regular season PFF grade of only 56.7 but then a playoff PFF grade of 87.1. I think Kaiir wins starting CB#2 and I will put the over/under on regular season INTS in 2023 at 4.

Bills-Eagles in Super Bowl. Eagles got so much stronger.

He did but not going to rehash the entire game, just thinking how it ended.

That was a great video. Extremely well done. I am really amazed the Bills/State pulled this off. We do have a world class stadium, who would have ever predicted that, I certainly didn't.

Or maybe for once McKenzie could have dropped the ball to stop the clock instead of being tackled in the field of play.

I should be careful what i writel. I have a key chain with part of the Bills old astro turf encased in plastic
