Beck Water

OK, I’ll bite. How did McKenzie single-handedly stop 3 drives?

How could McKenzie have had 3 drops, when he had 5 targets and 3 completions? I think criticism for failure to execution is warranted, but some of you just get silly with it.

What is this week, Revenge of the 2018 1st Round Discards?

To be fair there was a legit school of thought that maybe Allen should sit and let his elbow heal, though if the exact sentiment was “get his head right” and not his elbow, I Got Nothin’

??

LOL no to that either

LOL No

That Broncos linebacker’s a real gem…I mean Jewell

At a guess, they were checking for pneumothorax before he can be cleared to fly home.

If Shakir would get his ass open, that could occur

Seems as though Von Miller is maintaining Groot on his diet of “Gunpowder and Gasoline”

Oh, is that what you call that stuff?

You are epic. I salute the King

Hooked 3! We're assuming it's a joke because this poster, while a most excellent worthy chap, has a history of not taking this board as seriously as some and trying to "stir the pot" occasionally. It's very good stuff when not taken too far.

Like Sex Panther. 60% of the time, it works every time! Hooked one! "Tells" are real. Every team has them. But this is excellent tongue-in-cheek parody.

NFL Insider Ian Rapoport summarizes what he knows to date: https://www.nfl.com/news/no-deal-imminent-for-odell-beckham-jr-following-free-agency-visits If Rapoport is correct (and he has good connections to teams and players) Beckham was not offered anything close to a firm contract from any team. Beckham is not ready to play football at this time Reading between the lines, it doesn't sound as though any of the three teams were prepared at this time to offer a "big money multi-year deal" to a 32 yr old coming off his 2nd ACL surgery, who is not yet running a full route tree in football gear, and who claims he is ready to contribute to the playoffs but "doesn't see the point" of playing in the regular season. From what Rapoport wrote, teams were prepared to offer a low-money 2022 deal with a big-money (maybe incentivized) contract the following season or a low-money 1 yr deal. But that might not make sense for Beckham. He could play well and contribute, then be well aligned for a multi-year FA deal. Or he could get injured again and have nothing. I say take down the tent on this circus. Frankly, the only way to get into the playoffs is to grind for 17 games. And as McDermott would say "nothing is given, everything is earned." We see year after year teams who were expected to contend, like the Rams and Denver, fizzle while teams from whom little was expected, like the Seahawks, Eagles, and Vikings, rise. The whole idea of a guy who explicitly states that "he doesn't see the point" of him grinding away to earn a playoff berth, he wants to walk in with fresh legs and grab at the ring, just strikes me as troublesome to team cohesion. We're not the contender discussed in that article. He's talking about the Eagles Given that the Eagles have AJ Brown and Devonte Smith, and are #26 in the league for passing attempts, why would they want him?

Do we know the refs for today? I may have missed it

Wait. Dawkins is a huge pro wrestling fan, and his brother is a pro wrestler in Hawaii with the ring name "Giant Leather"? Who knew about this? @Chandler#81? Agree with you of course about Dawkins should win.

He got fined $50k for this. Saints got $550k: https://twitter.com/TomPelissero/status/1601627325334183936?s=20&t=az3cNHzJ5foSJ-da37Jy2A https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/12/10/nfl-levies-550000-in-fines-for-allegedly-fake-cam-jordan-injury-on-monday-night/

Saleh is a good coach, who, prior to last game, Josh Allen owned (including while in SF) It will help the Bills D to have Poyer and Tre White, and hopefully Rousseau will be in all game. If Milano can't go, I expect to see AJ Klein and a reprise of the slightly altered coverage scheme that allowed him to become DPOW against the Chargers. I think an under-appreciated aspect of having our vets in at DB is that Frazier can open the playbook as far as disguised coverage. Mike White threw 8 INTs in 4 games last season and the Bills collected 4 of them. Last meeting was the middle of a 3 game stretch where the Bills sucked against the run. To my eyes, this was the result of guys not being gap-sound in assignment, with Phillips one of the chief offenders (but Rousseau is really good against the run so losing him hurt). Benford didn't help, and when he did make a tackle he seemed to get trucked 5 yds upfield. Still, if Allen hadn't gift-wrapped two INTs, one on 2nd down (SECOND DOWN) in the Jets red zone and one on the Bills 22, OR if we don't miss a 55 yd FG at the end of the half OR if the Bills D doesn't allow a 6:13 drive by the Jets in the 4th including runs of 19, 16, 15, and 9 yards (plus a 6 yd scamper by Wilson), we had plenty of chances to win. Big question: has Mike White learned from his 4 INT game against us last season, or can we do to him what we did then? He threw 2 picks in the game against Minn last week - "promising, very promising!"

https://www.buffalobills.com/team/injury-report/ Didn't see this upthread,but all the sick-o little Jetsies have no game status so are good to go for the game. I hope they still feel like a Buffalo ran over them, before the game Only one who is "questionable" is Michael Clemens, a rookie DLman who appears to be their 3rd string DE Jets IR looks like this: (plus OT Max Mitchell on non-football injury which is probably a scum move by the Jets for a rookie who played 6 games for them) T Mekhi Becton - Reserve/Injured FB Nick Bawden - Reserve/Injured T Cedric Ogbuehi - Reserve/Injured RB Breece Hall - Reserve/Injured OL Greg Senat - Reserve/Non-Football Injury OL Alijah Vera-Tucker - Reserve/Injured

I agree, especially since apparently Zimmer is very smart. So I'm sure by now Miami has all the defensive schemes and offensive play designs and calls we used while he was here.

https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/G/GillRe00.htm#snap_counts

Excepting the Pittsburgh game (where he played 70% of the snaps), Shakir has been on the field an average of 26% of the offensive snaps. That's typically 16 snaps per game. I don't think he's in the doghouse. I don't think he's getting open as much as people think, and yes, it's possible he's making route-running and blocking mistakes. If he gets open and makes plays, I'm pretty sure his snap count will increase.
