Lol I guess that’s not disrespectful

Joe Mixon thinks it’s bullitwn board material

Apparently Joe Mixon finds this disrespectful and it motivates him https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2023/01/19/joe-mixon-selling-tickets-to-neutral-site-conference-title-game-disrespectful/

I can tell you at the time, media coverage was highly critical and in their fan mailbags would be calls for Reich to start, after every loss with careless play

He will surely go in with that intent, but it will have everything to do with not wanting to let his coaches and teammates down and nothing to do with the media. IMO

I think you need to distinguish between what the Bills and their coaches say, and how they plan to play The Evil Hoodie and his Tom minion were great at praising the other team in a flat monotone every presser before they walked on the field and proceeded to rip off heads and piss on the bodies Nothing a team says prevents them from being physical and executing at a high level

Agree, top tier Not only that...he's kind of legendary in that he may well have gained the Rams their SB trophy last year. He retired in 2019 and spent 2020 doing dad things. Got a phone call January 12 2022 after one of the Rams safeties went on IR and the other was in concussion protocol; "are you in shape?". "Yeah, I'm good". None of this "ease into it". Came off the couch, led the team in tackles during the AFCCG, was wearing the dot and calling the defense in the Superbowl, tore his pec in the 1Q but refused to leave the game. Put on his ring, had surgery on his pec, and went back to doing Dad things like coaching HS football. It's Epic. I'd kind of like refs who would call offensive holding once in a while.

Not happy at DaQuan Jones being limited in 2 successive practices. We need that guy. Not sure what I feel about Jordan Phillips being limited. If he's good to go, we can use him, but we don't need him out there one-arming it.

Do you disbelieve or disagree with McDermott's expressed view that it's proven in the NFL, you can't win long term against the best teams while you're turning the ball over that much? I also don't understand what is hypocritical about people's negative reactions to Allen's INTs. I'm not saying you're wrong, but not understanding the use of the word "hypocritical" to describe it.

https://www.nfl.com/news/dolphins-fire-josh-boyer-after-three-seasons-as-defensive-coordinator I got to say, he had something for the Bills. 5 of Allen's 9 strip sack fumbles and 3 of his 4 strip sack lost fumbles were vs. Miami A valid point. I hope they shred his gameplans for the Bills then 😃

Do you think it's not an appropriate topic for discussion? Oddly enough I started this thread because a couple of posters referred to Josh as a "Fumble machine when he runs" or something of the sort, and I wanted to provide data showing that was, at this point, incorrect.

I could be mistaken, but if you go look at the NFL Nexgen Stats charts, I think you'll see that Lamar has quietly but significantly improved his ability to pass outside the numbers. So we'll see, if they keep Lamar but bring in someone who can design a more complete passing game and some better receivers.

Wow. I'm struggling to process this viewpoint. All I'll say is that in general, I don't believe "turnovers happen". Yes, there are fluky plays, but in general, they either result from a mistake on the part of the players/team committing it, or high-level play on the part of the team recovering it. I'm sorry, but if you can't score a TD until the 4th Q which was the Ravens situation in 2019, I don't know how you logic "they were clearly the better team". Tennessee did stop them; they stopped them with a punt and 4 turnovers on downs in addition to the interceptions and the fumbles. Meanwhile Tennessee ran all over them and Tannehill had a low-production, but high efficiency day with 3 TD and enough pass game to keep the run cranking. I think that's "if my Aunt had balls, she'd be my Uncle" logic. I guess, but she doesn't and she isn't.

Got skinny. Only Josh Allen can beat the Bills.

I don't think it's cosmetic surgery. She lost a ton of weight and adopted a new style of makeup. I doubt it was an intrinsic desire on her part (though perhaps); there's a lot of pressure on women in show biz to conform to a fashion-model-thin ideal.

How do you figure that? I mean, Championship caliber is, as Championship caliber does. The Ravens got pretty solidly Whumped in the playoffs in 2019. I think the general perception of the 49ers in 2011-2013 was that they had an outstanding defense, and just not enough offense to match it.

Seriously? Who on earth do you think would say that? 423 total yards. 56% 3rd down conversion. 9 yards per pass attempt, 4.1 yds per rush attempt. The problems the offense had last weekend were all self-inflicted wounds. How do you think Roman would somehow solve incompletions on catchable balls, or a strip sack on the 12 yd line run in for a TD?

FWIW, Brian Baldinger gave Carmen props in one of his breakdowns this week Ah....No on the Skylar all day thing.

This off season, the Bills almost completely reworked the interior of their DL. Those moves don't get as much press as the signing of Von Miller, but they're quietly important. We parted from long time (and overpaid for ROI) 1TDT Star Lotulelei (Lotulazy to some); we moved on from undersized 1TDT Harrison Phillips, and from 3TDT Vernon Butler (who had two teams to confirm he underperformed his 1st round status). We signed DaQuan Jones and Tim Settle from Washington and re-signed 3TDT Jordan Phillips to pair with 1st round 3TDT Ed Oliver. Von Miller has said he can't do his work without great pressure up the middle, and we gave it to him. Their sack totals are modest (2 each I think) but Jones and Oliver have double-digit QB Hits. Aside from the loss of Von Miller for the last 7 weeks (which is huge, of course) the big loss is a stupid injury to Jordan Phillips. Anyone else playing for him is a big downgrade in the pass game, but a mixed bag in run D (Phillips can be great, or he can leave his gap) McDermott and Frazier also love their A gap blitzes. They don't blitz a lot though. We have like a 19% blitz%, they believe in pressure from the DL. Allen will fight like a swordfish against being sacked, with similar results The Bills used it for Xavier Rhodes and also Eli Ankou.

I apologize because I know you've explained this before, but I believe this is literally your lane - what does "smart money" mean literally? I know you're not using this as an idiom

According to the Ravens and Roman, he "resigned to pursue other opportunities" https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/35481734/ravens-oc-greg-roman-resigns-amid-offense-declining-results

No Poyer 😬

You quickly get into a "chicken and egg" conundrum here. Other guys who came into the league tenuous as passers like Allen and Hurst, have evolved and improved. Lamar appeared to take a step forward as a passer last season, improving his Y/G to 240 Y/G from 180 or 200. This season he took a step back. Is he gonna become Joe Burrow, absolutely not, but I think there's a serious question as to whether the system and OC were maximizing his passing abilities.
