It's not even the lack of sleep, extra duties, etc. I am 100% convinced that having your first child rewires a guys brain and turns every man into a bumbling buffoon from about the 5th month of pregnancy until the baby is approaching a year old.

Haley is pregnant with their first and Josh is going to spend the next year or so stumbling through life like a stoned Alzheimer's patient.

Something, something, refs...

So you've been walking into a a meeting for 22 hrs? That's one hell of a hallway!

With any luck, the Bills will also begin sinking all their draft capital and cap space into the WR position instead of the offensive and defensive lines so that they too can be under .500!

Unless he's a waaaaay better blocker than I think he is, he's probably not likely to put Keon on the bench.

If they keep spreading people out and murdering them with that outside zone toss like they were last week, they can probably run all the shotgun they want the rest of the year. Allen's a good ball handler and you can freeze LB's enough with it that it should be almost as effective as traditional PA without Allen having to turn his back to the LOS. Feed Gilliam inside once in a while to keep people thinking instead of running, hit Kincaid up the seam once a half and you can create enough confusion to have the defense spinning like dreidels (a line I stole from you 20 years ago;-).

Tre White has made multiple plays coming off his first priority over the years. He's shown a very solid knack for it at times.

Wtf would you step up and throw that guy a fastball right down the pipe on the first pitch

It was better than suspending 10 people 🤷‍♂️

No point moderating a game thread about the Chiefs; the crying about the Bills and refs is inevitable. Enjoy your wallowing. 🤷‍♂️

I cannot believe you just called him a woman after the game he had.

There's an element of natural ability too, both physical and mental. Having the physical capability to be that in control of your route and also the mental ability to make those decisions and adjustments in real time is unreal and something I think most folks don't appreciate.

I'm guessing Aaron has something to do with that.

It's very rare, but we are starting to see some veteran guys who can make their own adjustments to these evolving DB adjustments by doing exactly that.

A DB can't assume by default that every ball is going to be underthrown; he has to attack where he thinks the catch point is going to be, which would be at the end of the route. If it is underthrown, he probably has a better chance to avoid contact if he's watching the WR gear down than if he's spinning around off-balance trying to find the ball. The fact that the world's best coaches now coach it this way should be enough to settle the debate, imo.

I have plans to head to Negril in March. Regardless of my schedule, I hope those folks come through this OK.

They also compound the problem by letting the local city schools play their championship games on that field a few weeks from now. It's bad now, but sometime around mid-November it's essentially going to be painted mud until they get an opening for another resod.

Exactly. I've played some corner as well and some of these guys think that turning your head and tracking a ball midflight while not losing any speed or balance is just something that any ballplayer should be able to do on any route. There's a reason these guys are now coached not to bother trying it outside of unique circumstances. Every single week I see multiple completions given up because a CB tried to turn his head instead of staying with his man and getting an arm/hands into the basket.

I think they lost multiple OL to injury through the course of the game; they may have had a serious effect.

On the remote chance that you get a little bit of extra leeway from a ref who wants to throw as many flags as he can, there is a far greater chance that you are just going to give up a catch because, again, all it does is slow you down, create separation and put you off balance.

People are ragging on him, but he had no shot today. He had guys in his face all day long.

He's one of the few players in the NFL that has learned how to successfully kick there over the years; it's part of the reason the Stillers keep him around. Justin Tucker is the only other one I can think of. If you're interested, do a little research on that field in the fall; it's kind of interesting and has been going on for decades.
