Da webster guy

he's a great possession guy. doesn't have the YAC instincts, he's pretty much a catch and get tackled dude with very few moves once he has the ball but I agree give the guy more targets. yeah it was weird on the TV because you kept waiting for defender to come into the screen but they never did, and then josh is in the endzone pretty wild

He's the best NFL mind since John Clayton died a few years back. No BS, and really knows our team. Scouts college hard to so he knows the background on guys that I don't even know and I'm a Bills freak. On one hand, despite all he said we're still favored on the road against an 11-2 team Sunday and we can beat anybody. One thing I didn't see mentioned is that when you pay a QB $50+M per year like Baltimore, KC, Cinci, Buffalo, Dallas, Philly etc you aren't going be elite on defense and your ability to retain/sign players is somewhat limited vs a team like the Pats or Houston who still have qb's on rookie deals making a small fraction of that. Cosell is usually spot on though. The one thing he won't do is criticize coaches very much though. He alludes to it ("Buffalo took an entire half to realize their front four wasn't touching Joe Burrow and it was time to send the blitz packages?" He won't mention Sean directly but it's implied. Compare that to a guy like Orlovsky who flat out says stuff like "Joe Brady is making a huge mistake not using play action with this run game, its the whole reason you run the ball" Hey man, our GM is a good guy who hit on the Josh pick and that made his whole career. But he also said our WR's are "fine" six months ago and now we're signing dudes off the street and having them start in like a week. He picked Shorter over Nacua, Coleman over Ladd Mcconkey, and basically the dude drafts for need which even he has said is a bad idea. We can still make a run, but on the road with this defense it's an unlikely outcome that we'll run the table.

Shavers was what we wanted Coleman to be all along, he was already on our team. He's big, fast, good hands, elite blocker and even plays special teams well. We need to use these guys more. Same with Ty Johnson, who is faster than Cook, averages 5 yards a carry for two years now, and doesn't fumble. Sometimes you have the guy right here on your team all along. Fred Jackson is another example of this, took us a few years to realize he was a beast.

personally i think Ty Johnson is just as good of a runner. He's almost 5 yards a carry this year and like 5.2 last year. Ty's 40yd time was significantly faster than Cook's combine time, doesn't fumble, better blocker, equally good receiver. I'm glad we have them both, but honestly I trust Ty with the ball running in traffic, he's not fumbling.

Blocking AND receiving skill. Shavers has great hands, he's shown that throughout training camps for three years and obviously his TD grab was not a simple catch in that wind. We've got some stone hands guys like Knox and Coleman, Shavers isn't one of them.

The worst in all of sports. There's obviously a huge amount of decent people that are Philly sports fans, but the bad ones are numerous and vindictive and brutal to their own team and especially visiting team fans including my 8 year old cousin at his first ever Bills game down in PA. Ugly.

He had some special teams snaps too. Bengals will be a good test for the kid. A real offense with a QB that isn't over the hill and a good coach who knows how to beat our team. We will need Max to be on point for this one. He still has so much to learn the kid just needs reps and to put down lots of film on himself.

Yeah I was just thinking that. It goes way back w this team. Last game we played them was ugly too. I hope Brady keeps trending in the direction of hammering Ty Johnson and Ray Davis more frequently, you can punish these teams w the speed edge rushers by lining up and hammering them. We have the Oline to do it, we need the OC to believe in it. It's needs to be a play action pass type game. Orlovsky keeps harping on this, confused as to why Brady do this more often. Josh had just one completion under pressure last time we played Hunter n Williams.

Well it sure isn't the fans making noise in the stadium. I noticed this a few games ago, even in the endzone, I'd say MAYBE one in three fans is making noise on defense pre snap. Its been getting worse. You'll hear a huge roar IF the defense gets a stop, but the majority of fans don't even bother to clap their hands anymore even on big downs. It's weird. I watched the game on TV yesterday, it might actually be closer to 4 out of 5 just sitting there in silence watching the defense. Wondering if this will get worse with 10,000 less fans in the new stadium. My brothers and I were lucky enough to get Ravens playoff tix during Covid, we got Baltimore twice with noise related false starts and there were only like 10,000 of us. That affected the game no doubt. Real fans have a responsibility, it's about 8 seconds from when the huddle breaks until the snap. If the other team runs 50 plays thats only 400 seconds of making SOME kind of sound. It's not that hard people, seriously. Watch Seattle, Pitt or Chiefs fans they're all doing something. Decibel meter on the big screen would help. So would fans that aren't lazy.

Hancock was a draft steal. Dude was amazing in college and seems to have carried over in preseason and ST play. I hope they keep pushing the kid and continue to get him snaps out there.

Lamar isn't really healthy, he's out there toughing it out but definitely avoiding contact more and clearly not 100% Man it's weird seeing Chiefs and Ravens at .500

When you can't drop back with a good Oline, hit your back foot and throw timing patterns to your WR's its exactly the same as not being able to run the ball-- you can win a few without it but all the scheming and fancy play calling in the world isn't going to cover it up for long. The fact that Josh was able to hold the ball for well over 5 seconds on multiple drop backs today and still not have an open guy is really bad news. You don't have to ask what the problem is anymore, we have a top running game, great Oline and MVP qb. There's only one thing that's missing: separation and trusttargets. I have to defend Brady a little, even though I'm not a fan of how he chickens out and refuses to pound Ty Johnson on short yardage plays, he can't be asked to consistenly scheme guys open if they lack talent. Beaner should have known to keep Mack Hollins as insurance for this very situation, backyard scrambles are part of Josh's game and could have kept us in this today (Hollins busted 100 yds w New England today ironically). Beane also is probably regretting making a hard move for a stud WR, I feel like he thinks bringing someone on this late in the season to develop timing with Josh isn't happening without a full offseason. Maybe Palmer could be that guy, we need him back yesterday.

i agree all except for the part where you say we don't have burners. Elijah Moore and Curtis Samuel are elite speed guys sub 4.4 Also Miami played single high safety today which we don't normally see. They took away more underneath stuff and dared Josh to throw long but he never did. He's gonna develop a blindspot to the long ball pretty soon if he hasn't already.

The last time I was there a few years ago the parking was a nightmare. There were no cops to control the traffic and we waited almost an hour in our car to go two blocks to get into a parking lot that only had a single lane entrance for one giant lot. My best advice is park as far away from the stadium as you can and walk it in. There are lot of rickshaw type rides with dudes pedaling ebikes that will take you right to the front door for like $40, which was much better than paying $50 for a lot that was close but huge hassle to get to and I'm sure it was a nightmare getting out of there. When in doubt, park farther out.

The only loss we've had to them in five years was that heat game in Miami a few years back. My son and I were there, it's insanely hot on that side of the field. People were passing out, including one Miami fan near us had to come out of the stands on a stretcher. Diggs went down with bad cramps and the game winning throw to Mckenzie in the end zone slipped out of Josh's hand because of the sweat and fell short. Sunday will be sunny, humid and 86 which means field temps for players will feel like 100 degrees with pads on in the full sun. Remember the Fins sit in the shade on the other side of the field and for some reason the dopes who make the decisions don't have a shade structure for our side of the field. Its a joke. If Pegula had any balls he would flat out refuse to play there again until there is proper shading and cooling for the players. Guys in the NFL have died from this kind of crap. It was flat out dangerous, I remember Greg Rousseau saying in his college days there they tried very hard to schedule afternoon and night games until Thankgiving timeframe. Duh. Since that day the league has scheduled us around the 1 oclock spot there in early season, but here we go again with another dangerous heat game. So my prediction is players going down from exhaustion, cramping and heat stroke. The better team should win but Miami players have two advantages, acclimation and sideline shade. Its a real factor.
