AJ Klein had reservations with family for Key West this weekend
Beck Water replied to Saxum's topic in The Stadium Wall
Well, his ***** salad making chef abilities will be tested to the full this coming game, with all the injuries. -
Kansas City at Buffalo in the Divisional Round!
Beck Water replied to chongli's topic in The Stadium Wall
You commonly have a lot of good things to say, but I struggle with talk about "legacy" I'm reminded of when we had a family meeting with an elder care finance expert because Grandma could no longer live alone and her house had to be sold. He finally lost it and looked at a couple of the cousins: "You need to stop talking about inheritance, no one has died" -
You're asking a good question and one I personally, can't answer without all-22. I don't know who was covering whom. I'm very up-front that I'm not someone who can look at the meagre glimpses the network allows us pre-and post-snap before they focus in on the QB, and read out the coverage. You gotta ask someone who knows ball at a higher level. I can tell you that Rudolph's bread-and-butter in his stint as a starter this year has been short passes with YAC. Going into yesterday's game, a whopping 60% of his passing yards were YAC. And with the Bills missing their starting MLB, using their 3rd string OLB, and missing their nickle corner, if I were Eddie Faulkner I would be driving into the demonstrated strength of the game which got them there, vs. the apparent glaring weakness of playing a guy who just got off his couch at MLB and backups at OLB and nickle. And that's the short passing game.

Elam has a target on his back because he's not subtle about his grabbiness. He's not running step for step and sliding a little arm around the guy's waist out of the ref's vision or committing a jersey grab that's hidden between his body and the receivers. He's getting beaten by two steps because good NFL WR are successfully juking him, then he tries to make up for it by reaching out and using their jersey as a leash. It IS difficult to take officiating seriously, but the stuff Elam is doing is slam-dunk. The thing that bothers me most about Elam is that he seems to shirk physical contact. He got run over pretty good yesterday afternoon. 5'9" 180 Cam Lewis and 5'11" Dane Jackson out-thump him regularly and so can Damar Hamlin who's like the same size. Pacheco runs like a junkyard dog that hasn't been fed in a week and the DB is a steak dinner. We can't have a CB who plays like Wiley Coyote when too many Chiefs players can say "Beep! Beep!"

Open field running and running over people is just not Mahomes bag, whereas Josh gets off on it. Mahomes thing is the fake step on the sideline then dancing down it. We got hosed a few times in the Steelers game. Pretty clear false start on the Steelers 1st TD. Pretty clear DH on Diggs multiple times through the game. It would make me happy if we could get the offensive Offside and the false starts on Jawaan Taylor vs KC. He does it like every freakin' play and they call it maybe once a game.

Josh has fake-slid at times. He's talked about it on podcasts. Josh said post-game that "they" were yelling "Slide!" at him (I assume teammates). But that looked more like a juke to me, and Josh is also on film having a full complement of running back-like moves in the open field. I think he learnt from Shady his rookie year because he seemed to have more and more of them as his rookie season went on. @Zerovoltz , a KC fan, has been accused of being a troll and I've sometimes defended him. But he's either trolling here, or not thinking through the consequences, because his own precious QB is a regular and repeat offender at faking he'll go OOB and then tiptoeing down the sidelines 15 yards after he gets the defender to pull up for fear of a late hit PF. I'd be totally OK with taking an occasional 15 yd penalty ....as long as they penalize Mahomes for it. Every. Time. There was a pretty egregious penalty in the KC-GB game on KC's final drive against Mr. Simone Biles himself, GB S Jonathan Owens. GB leading by 8 points. 2nd and 10, Mahomes runs. I know he's going for the marker, everyone else on the field knows he's going for the marker, Jonathan Owens knows he's going for the marker and takes the perfect angle to hit him and try to knock him back and stop him short to create a 3rd down. The announcers were aghast when a 15 yd UR was called. I was aghast. Never more happy than to see that drive stall out and GB get the Dub.

Yeah, it looked to me as though Deonte was telling him off.

The Bills really need to put oven mitts on him at the start of OTCs next season. He has got the "grabby habit" and he needs to be forced out of it. To be fair, Rudolph was really slinging it yesterday. He had his opportunity and he was really taking advantage. He made some outstanding throws. I do know that Next Sunday's ref crew apparently calls the largest number of DH penalties in the league and we can not afford that. It is pretty clear that the Bills receivers are coached to take a penalty if they have to instead of being beaten for a score. The play where he let himself get run over concerns me more.

I know, I went into the 1st half game day thread because I wanted to find out why Elam was playing - I missed it that Benford and Spector both hurt on that non-fumble-recovery. I got an answer to my questions but My Lord! What a Monkey-House-Throwing-***** show. I backed out of there quickly, and I still needed a shower.
-
Yes, that was very enjoyable watching the Cowboys get their asses handed to them. You might say....I "LOVE"d to see it.

According to Spotrac, guy has career earnings of $31M and I'm guessing he invested a lot of it. So not sure how much $100k means. Doubt money was a major factor. -
How does Bangedup know that Diggs is an abdomen? The most serious injury is Bernard, because even if it 's a sprain - it was a serious enough sprain that they splinted and x-rayed it. It may be a serious sprain requiring long recovery or even surgery. Johnson is serious. Concussions are unpredictable. Benford is serious. He's been playing out of his mind, and Kaiir "Grabby" Elam vs. the ref crew that calls the most holding penalties is free yards waiting to happen. On the offensive side, I think Diggs is injured but it's more of whatever he has been dealing with. Connor McGovern is potentially big

We really don't know that Dodson is back next week. Or Douglas for that matter.

McDermott to assistants: "Flower shop to Mrs Klein please. Find out what his kids didn't get that they wanted for Christmas, and Make It So." -
Allen also hit Diggs on a 36 yd pass down the sideline. But I think something is wrong with Diggs. Yeah, it was a bit extracurricular, but that extra flip the Steelers defender gave him (and wasn't flagged for) had him on the turf in pain for some time, though eventually he got up and trotted off, and he did come back. Maybe....consider this, just hear me out, I know it's crazy....maybe he's not pretending...

Wow, did he really? I'm gonna have to hunt that down and listen. McDermott and the D staff better send her a freakin' flower shop. -
Oh, Yeah, Baby! @RobbRiddick take a bow. Please go forth and predict all the great catches, TDs, and interceptions you like. I'm told this is "giving you flowers" so....here you go

I agree. At this point, the Fat Lady has finished her concert and stuck a fork in the platter of Eagle on her way off the stage. -

I don’t think the result would have been the same. I think he got too full of himself in Cleveland with all the commercials and basically getting one HC fired and choosing the next one. He needed a bit of perspective. -

Great Google Moogly how did that become a TD -
LOL this reminds me of a preseason film clip the Bills put out. Josh is talking with a couple teammates about Latavious Murray. Something to the effect of “he’s HUGE, what is he, 6’5”, 240? I wouldn’t want to tackle him” Whoever is talking to Josh says “well, you’re 6’5” 240” Josh says “I wouldn’t want to tackle me, either”
-
Josh definitely does a deliberate “fake slide” at times. He’s talked about it, I think it was a podcast with Jordan Palmer and Kyle Allen. But that wasn’t his “fake slide” motion, as someone else said “that was a White Boy cut”

Wildcard round - Steelers Bills post game thread
Beck Water replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
Bernard played very well against KC earlier and I agree, in general better skill set. But even if it’s the best case and he has a grade I or II sprain with no need for surgical repair, I think it’s very unlikely we see his skill set on the field next Sunday.
