    I could see it working honestly. Hill is a pretty explosive player and an incredible athlete. If he is an average passer, they could be pretty dangerous 

    I’ll never say never before someone gets a chance, but I just don’t see it. Hill is basically Mormon Tebow in my eyes. I see a one dimensional running QB that teams will be able to load the box against. His throwing motion is awkward, he has that Tebow like muscular build that makes throwing awkward, and he’s never had to win an NFL game with his arm, but he’s 30 years old. A 30 year old “athlete” style of QB with questionable arm talent isn’t where I’d place my bets.

    he’s not an average passer and you can no longer be an explosive impact runner once you have to start protecting your shoulder 

    Exactly. A thirty year old first time starter who can’t throw the ball isn’t the direction I want my franchise to go. This is what I don’t understand about Payton’s love towards Hill.

    Would you take Payton as OC of the Bills when he gets fired by the Saints in a year or so?

    Maybe, if you can promise we don’t take Allen off the field for Fromm to take important reps.

    They are paying Hill 21 Million. He should absolutely be starting this weekend if he is really the QB of the future down there

    It does make sense from that prospective. My issue is the fact that anyone would view Hill as possible franchise QB. I don’t understand how anyone sees that potential, and the Saints will actually benefit in the long run if Hill plays terribly. The worse case scenario is Hill fooling Payton into thinking he has his guy. Sean Payton is just a strange coach to me.

    Is it all kamara?  He's certainly a dynamic player and a great receiver out of the backfield... But Armstead-Peat-McCoy-Ruiz-Ramczyk is one of the best offensive lines in football.

     

    Buffalo's is not.

     

    Look at elliot - that offensive line was hurt with tons of injuries and sure enough - the game breaking RB looks borderline bad. 

    That’s the thing people are missing. Show me the running back who performs well on a team with a weak run game scheme and poor blocking. Elite running backs look very average when something is out of place. I don’t understand the harsh criticisms of Singletary around here either. I don’t see either of our backs as having elite potential, but where were all the critics to point out Singletary’s flaws last season ? In fact I recall posts claiming he could become one of the better backs in the league. Suddenly his game is remarkably flawed, and will never translate to the NFL. If you pointed those flaws last season, you probably would have been called an idiot. 
     

    There are many successful late round running backs, and even undrafted free agents. Those guys are often able to be more productive than Moss and Singletary, especially with the advantage of a top notch passing game. That’s not a swipe at Singletary and Moss, but an acknowledgment that even if they aren’t great backs, the run game shouldn’t be this bad. That leads me to believe the problems run much deeper than just being the fault of our running backs. Singletary was a good football player in 2019. I had several fans of opponents tell me that we had a good one in Singletary last season. Singletary and Moss deserve some blame, but you also need to look at the line, play calling, and schemes. It’s not the fault of Moss or Singletary they aren’t speed guys. Maybe this spread offense doesn’t fit Motor the way last seasons occasional run heavy scheme did. I’m just not ready to believe that Singletary is suddenly a bad football player.

    As if the Seattle D is something special. <_<

    Fair enough, you got me there. Seattle’s defense has been worse than ours this season. I just wish  we’d do more to create pressure. A bad defense can have good days when they play aggressively, and I’d like to see more of that. Seattle is a bad defense having a decent night up to that TD. I don’t know if Frazier’s D can have a lucky good day when they are coached so passively.

    Seattle's D has done a very nice job tonight...far cry from the way they looked against us and in the first game against the Cards...

     

    Also...I cannot believe Metcalf had that ball go off his facemask wide open in the back of the endzone and made Seattle settle for the FG at the end of the half...

     

    Just like when it happened with Davis against NE and it cost us 4 points, I have a feeling that is going to come back to bite them in some way by the end of the game...

    Yep, Seattle’s D isn’t good, but good things happen when you can manufacture pressure and show different looks.

    They’ve been too busy getting fitted for their yellow jackets this week to prepare for this game 

    I think the Cards are overrated tbh. The media loves Murray and Kingsberry, which very much influences the narrative. The NFC is relatively weak, and we had them beat last week, apart from the freak play. Our defense has a way to go, so Murray looked pretty good, but I’m not convinced he’s the elite QB everyone wants him to be. I’ll take our offense any day over the Cards.

    Yeah it's a weird play so you may be right. I'm still racking my brain now to even remember if it was actually Moulds, but I swear I remember us putting wide receivers in the secondary on hail mary plays in the past. Hopkins is the best. If your guys are all short it's not a terrible idea.

    I like that idea with a tall experienced/elite WR. I think it might have been Moulds, and I’d definitely trust him out there. I’m just not sure if a youngster like Davis might not be more of a liability for PI calls and the like.

    Actually a great point that I didn’t even consider. I remember seeing Moulds deep in similar situations. Why not?

    Fair point but do we really trust Gabe Davis or Dawson Knox of all people more than our actual defenders ? Belichick loved putting Gronk on D, and it actually bit him a few times.

    I personally am pissed at the defense leading up to that last play.  Any time you let a team drive 40 yards in seconds to get in a position to throw a Hail Mary, then anything can happen. Stop playing so far off on important drives.

    Agree, that’s Leslie Frazier’s style of D, and I’ve seen enough of it. His style only works with big time playmakers on the line who can pressure the QB. We don’t have that, and it allows the opponent to pick us apart.

    I'm not sure why I'm not mad. Allen balled at the end. White has to knock the ball down. But use this game as fuel moving forward. 

    Agree, Nothing happened that I find concerning. We already knew our defense is below average, and we’re going as far as Josh takes us. Josh did his thing late in the game. You’re not going to lose on that type of play very frequently. I’d feel much worse if we got blown out, or Josh played terribly without such a redemptive final drive.
