Contain this Built different, he is

Ohio and WVa are opiods Arkansas is meth like MO but half the people Everyplace is every substance now If you actually read the article you linked, it points out that MO couldn't compete with Cali, which had a well-organized distribution network of biker gangs and organized crime. MO was #1 for home lab seizures though.

Yes

Tim Settle looking good for the Texans Jerry Hughes still playing for them too, I did not realize. Overall: 1) the Cowboys are all around inept - bad coaching, bad execution, sloppy play 2) Texans playing sloppy in many ways, but more than well enough given 1) above Nico Collins makes a difference for the Texans CeeDee Lamb is Truth Apparently referees can overturn a non-catch where the ball hits the ground, Who Knew?

I wouldn't visit Chiefs Planet without BSL-4 precautions and observed decontam for unsuiting. Like MSF treating Ebola.

Josh said he could have checked out of the play and chose not to. I think he and the coaches saw something in how the D reacted (they ran a similar play earlier, right, and were successful with it?) and felt they could exploit Which, they did.

I know it's just a typo or an autocorrect....but Man, what a Freudian Autocorrect. I'm still laughing.

We've had our full share of injuries, seems to me. Milano (IR), Smoot (4 games, IR), Solomon (2 games), Taron Johnson (4 games plus most of a 5th), Terrel Bernard (3 games plus most of a 4th), Spector (IR), Carter (IR) And that's not touching the offensive side of the ball, where Coleman, Cooper and Kincaid have all missed multiple games and Samuel is reportedly playing with a turf toe.

You're right, but also people have been seeing Samuel open at times ( @Alphadawg7's comment about Samuel downfield, although I always take that with a grain of salt since on the TV it can be hard to tell if he's open at the right time in the progression) and Allen not pulling the trigger to go to him.

It's a good question as to why.TBN article Couple of key quotes: So, good question as to what's been going on. Has Brady not been designing plays to go to him? Does Allen prefer to trust Kincaid or Coleman? Or has Samuel been "working his way healthy", which Shakir kind of implies: Training room...out on the field after....don't think that's the routine unless a player has some kind of injury bothering him. I actually had that thought when I was listening to Paddy M. talk about how you need your best football to beat a great team. Buffalo was far from playing their best football on offense. Had some gaps and glitches on defense too.

Fair. Saying something like "we'll do this again" as they greet post-game is surely a big step up over bitching about the refs. I was thinking respect would go for the traditional "good game, bro, that run was killer" in the bro-hug or "that's a very good football team and they made plays, credit to them". "We didn't play our best" and "that's a good football team" just struck me as faint praise.

He was still looking pretty sharp this year while he had Nico Collins, Diggs, and Dell.

I think any resemblance between the Mahomes led, Reid coached Chiefs and last year's Hurts led, Sirianni coached Eagles is kind of coincidental. Part of it is the "DNA" (or the culture) of the team. Mahomes is "the Man", with a track record of coming up big in the biggest moments (sometimes with a little help from his zebra friends but). The Chiefs are rolling towards a 12 year stretch of winning records and a 10 year stretch of playoffs under Reid and 5 out of 6 years top-10 defenses under Spagnuolo. It's a little harder to derail that than it is to derail the Eagles, who change DCs like an influencer changes skirts.

That man is a cutaneous larva migrans infection waiting to happen. Not to mention strongyloides. Needs to keep that horse dewormer on hand for use as God intended. Worm the man once a year, whether he needs it or not. I mean...so was Diggs

Hate to see those injuries. Hope he comes back OK. Did the Bills want to keep him?

Gotta give "waste of a pick" TBD assessment mention to Dorian Williams, who is quietly leading the Bills in both solo (59) and combined (97) tackles, with 5 TFL and 2 QB hits packaged in there. That's 10th in the league, in case anyone was wondering. Is he perfect, no, but for a young guy thrown into the starter role in his 2nd year, he's getting better all the time. While I'm here one more point out. Currently the Bills LB (Williams, Bernard + Spector) are leading the league in tackles. That's what's expected, you say. To which I say, true, but it means something - it means the much-maligned Bills DL, especially the DTs, are actually doing a decent job of keeping the LB clean. Which, was not always the case in 2020 and 2021, when Poyer and Johnson were way up there for tackles.

Then he needs to improve his awareness of the ball's location, which is a couple feet lower than where he's punching

For people who like it, Josh is at his highest ANY/A (7.42) since 2020 (7.82) NY/A same trend Passer rating again, highest of his career (98.2) since 2020 (107.2). TD % up, INT % down, Y/A about the same, sack % a bit lower. Yards per game are down about 30 ypg from the previous 3 years, so there's that. I perceive the run game by "backs not named Josh Allen" as compensating for the lower passing ypg but this is a place where when I looked at the numbers, they didn't say what I thought they'd say: Bills Rush Game Year A/G Rank Team YPG Rank Allen YPG 20 26 18 107.7 20 26.3 21 27 13 129.9 6 44.9 22 27 20 139.5 7 47.7 23 30 5 130.1 7 30.8 24 28 7 119.2 15 25.4 You can all make of those numbers what you want. League average rush Y/G is typically in the 11x - 115, 113, 119 (unless Henry is going nuts, then he single handedly shifts the average up to 120s) My take is that the Bills improved from a below-average run game to an above-average run game by riding Josh Allen's legs. This year, Brady is persisting in trying to build a solid rush game without Josh. We're below average in Y/A at 4.3, but Brady will keep plugging away at the run and not shift it too much to Josh Allen (and to be fair, 4.3 Y/A moves the chains)

"That's a good football team" - yeah, that's the clip I saw. The very end was better "that's a very good football team, you have to play your best football to beat a great team and we didn't play our best football today". If I'd heard that first I wouldn't have felt quite the same. I wouldn't say he was "very complimentary" though.

Just to be clear, the Colts player was fined $10,919.00 for the punch (but strangely, not penalized during the game) I would hope the league will look at this, but if it's two weeks in a row, the Bills need to raise this as a question of refereeing since in general the league is supposedly trying to limit head blows.

I want to give Van Demark his propers, but it needs also to be remembered that he raised eyebrows a bit when he was kept as our swing tackle backup last season, because he was still very much a work in progress as a RT. I would say he's improved quite a lot, but RT is still not his strong side. Van Demark played decently, but yeah, we missed Spencer Brown.

Is this the play you're talking about?

They were showing replays during the time-out and it looked pretty definitive.

You're right, but I'm not convinced that's what happened on that play. As some observant chap pointed out above, Miller was in a good position to corral Mahomes if he cut back inside, and there were two of his teammates in position outside. I could be mistaken, I haven't seen an all-22 of the play, but that's how I saw it on TV
