Buffalo Junction

I’m pretty sure no one wants to win this game

The simple point to make is…. Look at John Brown’s stats after Lamar replaced Flacco. He racked up 715 yards and 5 TDs that season. 558 yards and 4 TDs were in the first 8 games when Flacco (injured in game 9) was the QB. The year after with Allen as his QB Brown posted 1060 yards and 6 TDs.

Could also double down and build a field level tunnel that creates an open channel from Lake Erie right down the visitors side and out of the stadium. It could potentially double the wind speed on the visitors side which would be brutal from late November through January. 🤷‍♂️

Use yogurt like lotion, wait a minute or two, then wash off…. Make sure you get under the fingernails

I’m sure they will pay the guy to make it go away. The question is whether the guy is willing to take 1) a reasonable amount of money, 2) sign a NDA and 3) drop charges. If the photographer decides to go all in and try for $10+ million and continue pressing charges this could get dragged out for a very long time with appeals to move the case, etc. We’ll find out soon enough though. The NFL and Adams probably want this to just go away.

Charges are probably a means to gain leverage for the lawsuit. I’m sure Adams’ lawyers are already digging through the freelance photographers social media, etc to find out if he is a long term chiefs fan, litigious, etc. They can also attempt to move any trial outside of the area due to jury bias due from fandom as well. This could be interesting if it isn’t settled and swept under the rug. Regardless of that, there will definitely be some changes to protocol going forward. There will be language written into contracts with networks and freelance employees. Likely extra security clearing out the tunnels….

They ran man coverage about 1/3 of the time last year…. and that was with Levi Wallace on the opposite side. With bump and run being Elam’s strong point that could increase with White back. It also allows the defense to be more creative with blitz packages. White can also blanket top TEs (last years Chiefs game) when called on which is a skill set that no one else on the roster has in spades. He also tends to come up with timely interceptions to ice games.

Elon and Bezos are working on it, but first they have to decide who has the biggest….. “rocket”.

Force KC to go for a 2 point conversion….. which only matters if they can’t bleed out the clock

Is McDaniel’s trying to be Allen’s next QB coach?

Hot damn

Jacobs is gonna have to win this game for the Raiders.

I’d actually rather deal with the cold in Fargo or Sioux Falls than Buffalo or Rochester winters. The 20°-35° and humid absolutely murders all the metal in my bones.

I looks like Taylor didn’t change up the offense enough in the off season so it’s become predictable.

Likely in part because he looked like the best pass blocking RB in his draft class. He was stonewalling DEs and dumping blitzers in college.

I think a lot of people reset their bar for Dorsey to Daboll heights after the first two games. Fact of the matter is the Rams and Titans had little to no game tape on Dorsey’s offense and tendencies, and coupled with being new to playcalling in the nfl Dorsey is going to take a little more time to adjust fully. This has certainly been compounded by all the injuries; Gabe, Kumerow, Knox, Morse, Morse’s backups, Bates, Brown, etc. I was fully expecting it to take Dorsey and Allen till the bye week to start really getting a hang of how to utilize all the weapons on a consistent play by play basis.

Time to see if Russ can cook something better than burnt ramen.

I’m having trouble deciding if the highlight of my day is this game, or going to the dentist earlier for a crown.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they grabbed Jimmy G as a placeholder if they win themselves out of solid draft capital. His tenure in NE overlaps with Daboll, so they likely have a familiarity along with Jimmy G having a basic understanding of Daboll’s system/methodology.

Another issue with more traditional screens like the the slip screen is how defenses prepare for Allen. They often place a lot of emphasis on maintaining contain, utilize more zone coverage, keep a spy at the second level, etc. This puts them in an advantageous position for defending against deception off the edges. Allen has burned too many teams with his legs for rushers to just pin their ears back and assume the blood in the water isn’t chum.

The “physically capable” caveat is important. If he loses some agility and/ speed after the ACL then it probably becomes a consideration moving forward, especially if Benford and Elam continue to improve. However, it’s definitely not as big of a concern as it was 30 years ago due to medical advancements. White would probably need an off-season to add some mass though

They may have gotten in his head a bit. He and Dobbins weren’t really able to juke effectively in the second half which lead to additional hits. He may have just decided to cut the loss, not risk a fumble, and move on to the next play. Only person who really knows is Jackson. 🤷‍♂️

The inconsistency with Boger and crew is the biggest issue. Most crews have tendencies (calls RTP, doesn’t call holding, etc) that teams can rely upon to even out the calls. Boger’s crew just seems to me more random with what they see and call which puts the results into question.

And tripping on the defense is ten yards & an automatic first down; IIRC. 🤷‍♂️

There’s an emoji for that.
