I love the analogy and the detailed breakdown of the Dolphins scoring drives. What do you suggest against the Demons? Some people seem to feel sprinkling salt, burning sage and prayers are enough, but others believe sacrificing a rooster is necessary. The deep throw deep throw deep throw thing has been a pattern all season. Josh moved away from it for the KC game. It isn’t helped that we’re often running a 11 personnel, so a back and a TE kept in to block and then releasing on short outlet routes. Josh hates to take those outlet routes. How much was Beasley actually out there? I think after the season we’re going to learn that Josh’s elbow injury was worse than anyone let on, but to be fair today Josh was under a huge amount of pressure. Pressure causes poor throws We better exorcise those demons quickly because Cincy has had a lucky horseshoe up its butt with regards to Ravens miscues all night

I may be responsible for confusion. Wilkins started it - he gave Josh a shove after Josh threw a pick. Josh then started the “defense of his honor” by giving Wilkins a good ol’ shove, leading his OL to weigh in

I gotta give the Ravens props. They aren’t folding their tents a bit.

I’m concerned about this, superficially from this angle it doesn’t look as though it hit his arm during the forward throwing motion and Josh didn’t seem to react the same way afterwards (no grabbing of his elbow or shaking his arm)

Is it petty? I dunno what goes on, on the line or in the bottom of a pile when Josh is sacked or tackled. I do know that a couple years back when Bosa corkscrewed Josh and it looked like it might have been serious, he was going from OLman to OLman babbling about how he wasn’t trying to hurt him, he was just trying to tackle him, etc etc. I’m pretty sure he wasn’t concerned for Josh; he was concerned for having his nuts or his head ripped off by one of the OL in retaliation if they thought he was out of line. And extracurricular stuff on Josh shut down pretty well when it was clear the OL wouldn’t stand for it. It may be something that had to be done. Pretty sure Wilkins will hear about it from his coaches and maybe he’ll turn it down

“If you’re willing to throw on 3rd and 1, you’ll be getting a 1 on 1 with your best player for a big gain” -Cris Collinsworth, just after Huntley threw to Andrews for a big completion on 3rd and 1 Of course, if you don’t get a completion, then you’re just a Big Dummy

O-line managed to block Barkley to #4 in the league this year - not too shabby Jones threw for 301 yds and 2 TD that game - wish that Allen had had his TTT

Would like to have seen Josh have the time to throw they gave Jones

Worried about re-injury to Josh’s elbow after that strip sack Also to Dawkins Guess we won’t know until Wednesday

TBH I think the Giants may be the more dangerous team. Which means it will be interesting to watch the NFC playoffs work through

Yes. He’d played better at guard than Vlad Ducasse but the whole OL stunk in 2018

I think the ref was too busy trying to break it up to worry about the details. Gave one penalty to Wilkins for starting it, and a joint penalty to the Bills OL for finishing it The “defending honor” thing. I see your point, there’s better wording.

I’ve been trying to figure out whose helmet it was, anyone?

I Hear You, and hope for a big step between year 1 and 2. But it’s the reason why his snaps have been limited, which all the people clamoring as though he’s a finished product the coaches inexplicably refuse to start, can’t seem to acknowledge. And I don’t want to take away from or discount Simon’s OP post because it IS important that his reaction to a ball he could and should have had was to come back focused and contribute a beautiful focused catch so 👍

Allen started it but Mitch Morse sure finished it Bank on it, Mrs. Morse.

Thought Jackson was gonna play

There was another one - to the wrong uniform though

*wiggles eyebrows* won’t ask what other thing you were up to

What, you were expecting Beasley to take all of McKenzie’s snaps? I was expecting it. Shakir took more snaps the week McKenzie was out after the Ravens game. I think we’ll find Beasleys’ snaps increased but Shakir took the majority of them. Only if he can figure out how to get open on the shorter routes. He’s still a work in progress.

I don’t think they have a chance. But then, I didn’t think the Dolphins had a chance, and they made entirely too interesting a game of it

Do we wanna play the Bengals or the Jags?

Oh, so it’s only going to cost him $75, not $20k. Cool cool

Probably some of both. There were times where Thompson got a catchable ball to them and they failed to haul it in. Now perhaps Tua would have thrown a more perfectly catchable ball that would have stuck to their hands, IDK, but they didn’t help him. And part of that is knowing a DB is right there and is going to plaster them vs. having 5 yds separation or being wide open

You’re a super lucky bloke to have $20k to piss around

People forget that Jones looked promising his rookie year under Pat Shurmur and Mike Shula Then he looked crappy under Jason Garrett and Freddie Kitchens Coaching does matter
