You never throw short in that situation. That was setting up your rookie to fail.
Yep... especially with the safety playing up that far up in the middle of the field - something they have seen with that Bills alignment and route that made them feel they could jump it. I also don't like those out routes if there is cover 2 zone - just an automatic jump the route and a short trip to TD.

33 seconds - regroup.

Will be interesting to see how Josh responds.

Terrible decision by Josh. Just is what it is - you don't throw into the middle of that and he missed that safety waiting for that throw all the way.
-
After replay I think he just took a bad angle coming across the body...was a bit too behind the receiver so he did not have his shoulder into the tackle and his head was not up. Hope he is OK... can be a pretty dangerous tackle to make.
-
Tre White had really bad tacking form really puts himself in a dangerous situation... its the same stuff you teach HS kids. The talented kids always think they can skip the basics.

No blitzing even on running downs makes me angry.
Run blitz is not a bad idea to try to stop a short yardage run... they play on the wrong side of the LOS too often and get carried over the sticks
-
As much as I do not mind passes underneath on 1st and 2nd down, I am not a fan of routes that are short of the sticks against the kind of zone the Dolphins had.
-
No push for run game.

Obviously motivated BADO's TBD thread...
Some act like it is not possible that he was not doing this a few games ago - who knows... social media gets around and maybe he got some ribbing from his team mates.
McD called him out last week for having a less than great game... seems to have had an effect.
-
I'm ok with the call, just not going to go a rookie's way. Josh needs to protect the ball a bit better with the lead and short field. Had enough time, but it is a shame that the Phins were getting pressure with a 3-4 man rush and able to drop everyone else back in coverage.

WTF McKenzie HAS to know better then to try to field that.

Wtf is wrong with Hauschka?
Has been less than money the end of last - I like Hausch but his stats have been trending down since '15 and I feel like the Bills have given him a shorter field than prior years... may need upgrade at position. Not sure what is going on.

Slide kid... there was a knee aimed at there.

Yeah that slant pass got there late and Zay adjusted... like the play calling forcing Josh to start taking underneath routes.

Yes, his flash in the pan 2018 where he averaged 41 yards a game.
What a weird contract.
I stand corrected...I had it in my head that he had a big game against the Bills, and I think it was just the shock that he was beating White - only had 22 yards that day on 3 rec. Went back through his production this year and meh.
I have no idea why they would lock him up for longer, but its the Jets on the verge of firing their HC so....

?? Enunwa was hurt almost the entire season this year. He has been literally limping through games. He demonstrated last year that he’s quite good when healthy. He’s a good player and the contract is very reasonable given that the Jets have ~$100 million in cap room next season.
I am fine with the Jets paying him, I just don't think he is all that productive - solid #2-3 but that could just be the turmoil that has been the Jets, although Josh McCown had a pretty good year last year...
He had a highlight reel catch against the Bills and White struggled with the size mismatch.
I feel there are a lot of draft WR and TE prospects that are in the Enunwa mold - big, tall, but with slightly better speed and can high point the ball just as well - I would rather the Bills grab one of those.

This is good for us.
I didn’t want Enunwa, and it lessens the Jets impact on the WR market.
I am there with you...the guy is in the league for 4 years and starts putting his game together during his contact year. Not saying 2018 was a flash in the pan, but would not be the first time I have seen a pro player turn back into Joe-average after getting his $$

Excellent post. Overdorf has been and still is, AFAIK, the supposed "cap genius" for the Bills for the past decade -- and a key piece in Russ Brandon's "money ball" approach to running the Bills. The Bills are still playing "money ball" with the McDermott-Beane regime but now with incompetent talent evaluation. The current regime is simply a reprise of the Jauron/Levy regime from 2006-2008.
I don't think Overdorf is running around with a pen and checkbook,
PSE has an executive staff including an EVP of Finance that oversees Sabre and Bills operations... I get the sense that there is more oversight and less rodeo than there was during the Russ Brandon era.

I wonder how far out of reality it would be to have non- compete clauses specifically regarding division rivals?
Should be something in those agreements...sucks to have someone that privy to draft and FA planning jump ship to a rival in your division.

I've seen him do that same, fair catch, then throw a cheap a$$ block on the gunner at least 3 times this season alone. After getting flagged and fined for it multiple times it's not like he can plead ignorance. Just a dirty scumbag.
The other 2 were for crack-back blocks - no call, just like how the rushing TD that never crossed the goal line was reviewed and held. Is what it is.
I would be OK with the penalty if a Bill returned the favor.

Let’s say we have pick 8 and both of these beasts are available (and for all us BPA guys they are tied in BPA value).
Who do you pick???
This would kill me.
Oliver has generational talent on the D line but Williams could be a decade long anchor with the ability to play all positions.
Struggling with this if I am given then choice.
Safer choice is Williams but bigger upside is Oliver.
What say you?
I know I am usually preaching offense and surround Josh with some better talent, but I think if Oliver is still there when the Bills pick you take him as the guy is an instant upgrade for a d-line - I do have the head-case concerns and I would expect OBD to do their homework to ensure the sideline tirade was an isolated thing rather than a sign of Aldon Smith-like craziness.
There are a couple good tackles in the draft and some mocks have us taking WV's Cajuste.
Most would agree that the draft is deep with defensive players, but less so for offensive players. Some use that rational to say that the draft will play out with just defensive guys taken first and foremost. I am not too sure - if the drop in offensive talent is steep from early round to later round talent than there may be a run on the few elite offensive players available and folks will take their chances with the depth of available defensive prospects.
I saw one mock where he had the Bills completely focused on offense the first 3 rounds - taking Metcalf as their 1st pick, LT Cajuste with their 2nd pick, and had the Wisconsin Center Biadasz in the 3rd. If Biadasz made it all the way to the 3rd it would be a miracle and a no-brainer steal for the Bills, but that just is not going to happen.

IMO they should stop trying to make him a pocket passer as its something he is not. The best games he has played is the ones he ran the ball a lot with some passes thrown in.
Not sure they are trying to make him a pocket passer as there have been plenty of designed roll-outs and QB option plays called.
There are times (the NE game is a perfect example) where a QB is kept in the pocket by the defensive design of your opponent. Belichick loves doing that to rookie QBs because pretty much all rookies have a comfort level of falling back to running the ball when they do not like what they see or get pressured in the pocket. Getting QBs in general and rookie QB's in particular to be "uncomfortable" and out of rhythm is the goal. Also, if I were a betting man and had to bet on Buffalo's receivers catching a deep throw or Allen running wild down the field, the safer bet would be to guard against the latter and trust your DB's and the Bills receivers to not make the catches.
It is games like NE that force the need for honing patience and pocket-passing skills. Josh will need to be able to adjust to taking what defenses give him - if it is underneath options from the pocket, so be it. Having some kind of quasi-consistent running game will also help build that patience and the sense that the entire offense is not predicated entirely on his ability to push the ball downfield with throws.

I measure my devotion by how well I have handled being in an abusive relationship for most of my life.
So pretty much hopelessly devoted.
Signs of Abusive Relationships
Important warning signs that you may be involved in an abusive relationship include when someone:
- harms you physically in any way, including slapping, pushing, grabbing, shaking, smacking, kicking, and punching (causing over drinking, over eating, nausea, bouts of insomnia, frequent throwing up)
- tries to control different aspects of your life, such as how you dress, who you hang out with, and what you say (pretty self explanatory - just try to go to a Bills game with a deluded Jets or cocky Patriot fan... you do that maybe once in the cheap seats)
- frequently humiliates you or makes you feel unworthy (for example, if you were a larger market team we would love you, not black you out, and maybe throw some calls your way at critical times in a game)
- threatens to harm you, or to self-harm, if you leave the relationship (we could move if you don't build that stadium)
- twists the truth to make you feel you are to blame for your partner's actions (if the 12th man shows up we will beat NE)
- demands to know where you are at all times (we now have a mobile app)
- constantly becomes jealous or angry when you want to spend time with your friends (we finally had folks openly admit that they did not stay to see the great Houston comeback playoff game)

I liked the one return by Boldin, would like to see more of that kid. Tryouts for the Bills special teams should be still open based on everything we have seen all year.
