Ethan in Cleveland

Ysrds is the dumbest measure for a defense but I know that is how they are ranked. The D is playing really well by other measures. #2 in sacks with 8. They are middle of the road in takeaways with 3. Had the White INT not been called back they would be top 10 in takeaways too. Perhaps the best stat is the YPA given up at only 4.9. That is #1 in NFL and 0.5 ahead of the second ranked team and 1.3 YPA better than last years best team atv6.2 YPA. I've been beating the drum for better pass rush for years. Beane tried to address with veterans last year. This year he has a better mix of youth and experience.

I bet he is out week 14 next year. He has a history of quitting too. He might just call it quits and go back to being an analyst. Posted that one a little too early... Jackson was brilliant in the second half. He hit throws all over the field to what was it 9 different guys and then carried the team down the stretch.

Good take. They should have drafted a center in the 3rd round not a swing tackle. Ford may yet still develop but with every game it looks less likely. I see C/G and safety depth as priorities after drafting Edmunds replacement in round 1

Right decision to pick up the option. They had to find out if he could play and he may still yet play better this year. I think it's unlikely and they can move on from him at the end of the season. Someone will pick him up in free agency and they won't be on the hook for his full guaranteed salary. I'm pretty sure there is offset language even for 5th year options.

He just asked Jackson if he wants to go for it. Unreal!!!!! What a gutsy call!!!!!

OMG

Anyone just let KC score a TD at this point? They are 15 yards from FG range and only one TO

Roman is a genius in the run game. Its sick

So they called a phantom illegal player downfield to keep the game at 5 points but later call a phantom defensive holding. Maybe they are just poor calls.

Ha! I beat Collinsworth to the punch on that analysis

Ugh, cut that back up

Agreed KC and Andy Reid are better. Our guys can do it too. Like I posted earlier I will take dink and dunk the whole game.

Definitely looked odd. Not sure if it was intentional or he just started to trip

So you are advocating hurting other players? Classless. Disgusting.

I guess my point is that is not true. The stats say Bills WRs are good at YAC. Obviously Kelce is a class all by himself and Knox is not in his league.

NFL football is the greatest sport of all time and its not even close. The things these athletes can do is unworldly.

Not true. In 2020, Diggs was 13th in YAC ahead of all KC WRs. Kelce was 2nd and led all TEs. Beasley 38th. Bills WRs are good with run after catch.

Dink and dunk and YAC. Hope Allen and Daboll are watching this.

Not me. I've been on the Knox and Levi bad wagon for a while. That said I've not been a big fan of Oliver and he is playing really well. Hell even Zimmer is. Good bye Harry.

I get where the OP is coming from. Josh Allen's level of play through 2 weeks is not winning the SB. But Josh will play better. The offense will be better. This OL is still learning to play with each other. The pass rush looked great against a below average o-line. They are young and should continue to play better. Frazier coached a hell of a game. Dropping the kid in a zone-blutz scheme multiple times was great. Watching a 6'6" DE rookie capably run a zone blitz was beautiful. Multiple blitzes from the secondary level. All masterful. Well done Frazier. PS Edmunds is still awful. Watching him get blocked 10 yards downfield while our safeties and corners are making beautiful form tackles is really sad. I don't think Edmunds will ever be a game changing star at MLB.

Thanks

I was working all day and trying to keep up in the chat. People are posting D looked fine with Klein. Did Edmunds get hurt or did he get benched?

Interesting topic. I dont think he is seen as an outside CB so the market will not be crazy for his services. Anyone know of recent contracts for nickel dbs?

Running game was improved but completing barely over 50% of your passes is still a concern. I love Josh but you must know he has to play better to beat the top teams. I think he will be fine. But you can't just say they scored 35 points so all must be ok. That is silly.

17 of 33 completions is not going to get it done against good teams. Allen isxstill struggling but he played better as the game went on. Rush the passer and pass block. Next week will be a good test for the o-line.
