This idiocy predates Trump and will still be here when he's gone. Don't kid yourself that it's going to magically disappear with him out of office. The right wing faux conservative media has plenty of marks and is not going away any time soon. I'm in rural America and I can tell you for a fact that this offensive, insulting garbage is a legitimate reason why these people hate people like you looking down on them. You are absolutely hurting the cause you claim to support.

Slow roll the investigations and charges so these traitors can't be pardoned?

You're probably not going to find an overwhelming amount of data points on man defenses because there just isn't that many, imo. The first few weeks of the season, teams opened games with a lot of man concepts and then quickly abandoned it after a few series when the Bills were tearing it to pieces. Since then they've been seeing predominantly zone coverages because trying to run man schemes against this offense is straight suicide. The only recent examples that I can think of are the 2nd Pats game and the recent Miami game, where both teams tried to sprinkle in man coverages throughout the game just to change looks. I don't think it went quite the way they were hoping it might.

Some guy talking on the radio is not most people's definition of "a lot"

If she walked into my house and started singing her songs, my initial reaction would be to call my wife in the room and ask if she knew who this lady was.

Yeah that Packers game is a great example. Despite being down early y'all still ended up finishing with as many rushing attempt as passing. Nobody has had the stones to stick with it against the Bills for about 2 months now and it's been a detriment to them every single time. Partly because it doesn't limit Allen's possessions and partly because the Bills defense is called entirely differently, and is far more effective when playing with a lead. The one difference you'll probably be able to count on is that we will not be going conservative with a lead. The Bills actually remind me a LOT of the Colts offense with Manning in that even with a commanding lead they would still just keep relentlessly attacking you all over the field. Down and distance were virtually irrelevant, they just kept doing what they did until the scoreboard was out of reach. I love that mindset and I'm guessing the Bills staff will stick with it considering how well it's served them this year.

If they make that mistake, they're done. Even down a couple scores they still have to stick to their gameplan to sustain drives and keep Allen off the field. The biggest weakness on this team is the interior defensive front and they are susceptible to being pushed around. Some early leads have pushed opponents into the trap of trying to level things up quickly instead of staying patient and it's accomplished nothing but playing into the Bills' hands. It's tough to keep your finger off the panic button in an elimination game but it's probably their only realistic chance.

Probably somewhere around "assaulting children". I don't even want to know where yours is.

They're getting tested on gameday. Nobody is stepping on a field and shedding virus.

I couldn't disagree more. It's not a co-incidence that this seems to keep happening to the same team(s). At some point, being responsible for your own procedures becomes more important than being accommodated by other people. I say that your time and date are set in stone and you bring who you can bring. If you've got to put a 340lb DT at the X receiver, too bad you should have done a better job following protocol. If you've got a long snapper lining up at Corner, too bad, you should have done a better job following protocol. If you've got a LB taking snaps from a punter, too bad, you should have done a better job following protocol.

What's with the negative waves, Moriarty?

Yeah, that's definitely part of what I mean. Nobody thought he'd suddenly be right there challenging Mahomes for the title of best QB on the planet.

Braised colt with marks from the jockey

The only other info injury I saw about him was an ankle tweak that cost him a couple games back in his 2nd year. As for how the Panthers may have used him, I just don't get it. It simply doesn't reconcile with what we saw this year. He was absolutely dominant out there for nearly the entire season. Him and Dawkins both had a rough day on the same week (vs the Chargers I think?) but outside of that he was just stoning guys week after week after week. I'd be curious to see the Bills internal OLine grades cuz I don't think it would be difficult to make a case that he was the Bills best OLineman this season. When you've got a talent like Josh Allen who's going to be your franchise for the next decade, letting your best OLineman walk right now would be criminal, imo.

I think a lot of us saw a long run of professional competency coming. But nobody saw this coming.

1 hour ago, r00tabaga said: Mods always be modding 🤦 You over-officious Jerks Y'all realize that the topic has already been edited twice from the original incomprehensible title?

He missed one season with the knee injury. That was the only time in the last 4 years he hasn't played a full 16 games. You want to protect that franchise QB, I think locking in Daryl Williams is priority #1 this offseason.

[This is an automated response] The topic title needs some TLC... It is too generic. The topic starter can edit the topic title line to make it more appropriate. Thank you.

Yeah, that's pretty much the only reason I don't feel any compulsion to bring him back here. He's not ever going to have the natural chops to manage a game as a head coach, but I'd never be unhappy with him calling my offense. The folks ragging on him either don't understand those are two separate jobs or have even worse issues with short-term memory than I do.

I don't feel any strong impulse to bring him back but to his credit, he was outstanding here when he was thrust into the role of offensive coordinator. He was innovative, aggressive and somehow managed to put together what I think was a Top 10 scoring offense with Tyrod freaking Taylor as his QB. He won't end up back here, but wherever he does end up, somebody is going to be getting a very good offensive coach.

He probably says it every other time he walks on the field.

So your response is to start trying to trash the Colts thread with your complaints? Knock it off.

That's probably exactly what it was. The Bills are just trying to get out healthy at that point and probably didn't appreciate the Phish stopping the clock and creating extra meaningless snaps. I've got no problem with a shot across Flores' bow there.

So you don't want to retract your claim or clarify in the original post that you're just guessing?

I hope you're right. Because in this forum when people present false information as fact, it usually does not end well for them.
