  1. I’d like to understand where “deception” or aspect of a fake limits apply in your logic. If the goal is to stop people from taking advantage of a rule where the result is a stoppage, do you want to remove fake spikes and fake kneel downs as well? Or does it only matter for a move that Allen pulled off today and benefited from?
  2. Elam was the most important play, Allen’s was the most impressive. There are two QBs who take that run to the house, him and Lamar.
  3. Eagles defense looks slow and wayyy too reactive
  4. So why aren’t their penalties for fake spikes? or fake kneel downs
  5. Dak just doesn’t do well once he is nervous
  6. Dak just took a sack that Allen would be killed for. Took them out of field goal range
  7. This guy Tua is a pro bowler over Allen? Give me a break
  8. McDaniel doesn’t run an offense built for the playoffs
  9. Bills don’t have nearly as poor a DB as Kohou, I don’t think Rice is nearly as effective against the Bills
  10. Kohou is AWFUL. He is the targeted DB every time they bring the cover 0 blitz
  11. They can scheme Rice and Kelce open when they have the entire field to work with. When it gets tight, harder to find windows for those guys
  12. Dolphins only chance at winning was to play so physical the chiefs got off their game. they have been the opposite
  13. Dolphins don’t want to hit, have no interest in the physicality
  14. Tyreek is about to make Tua get PAID. with how the wind is impacting deep balls, I’m throwing every single man coverage up and telling my receivers to draw contact
  15. I believe Poyer mentioned they moved from two high to single high after the first half in an effort to stop the run. McDaniel has great ability to scheme a gameplan on offense, but I dont think he adjusts well. In the second half, we saw the exact same concepts and formations from the first half, and then once it was stopped a few times he just abandoned it entirely. There have also been metrics that show the Dolphins get worse and worse in efficiency as games go on. It's exactly what you said, if you stop them early, your chances of winning go up and up as the game goes on. McD gets flak, but he did a great job handling Miami's offense. It reminded me of his ability to stop the Ravens as well. He really forces teams to win in secondary manners. He wont let you run your offense over and over again.
  16. Dion, Rapp are for sure will plays id guess Douglas will play too Gabe and Dodson I think won’t. Dodson we just don’t know anything yet
  17. I’m hoping he can play. My guess is he tweaked his knee in that collision, and now it comes down to fluidity with movement. my guess is he plays, but may get pulled if he has any effects
  18. Davis ran a full route when Dolphins showed cover 0 blitz. You need to either make the cut immediately or run a dig. He did neither. Was a lack of understanding
  19. Dolphins had 1 first down gained without a penalty in the second half…. Insane defense. Mcd made all of the right calls. Allen shot himself in the foot a few times, but the guy got that 3rd and 13 with 5 minutes left that was a play only he makes. lets go beat up Pitt at home baby!
  20. Reminds me of when the Dolphins needed to win to get in and came to Buffalo a few years ago. bills went up 28-0 in the second and rested starters the remainder of the game. hopefully it’s a similar result!
  21. Tua is a Kirk Cousins type of QB - in Tier not in play style. He will be a starter in the league (barring injury) for another 5-6 years. I could see him going to a team like Washington, or maybe Denver in a swap of QBs. However, he doesn't have that gamebreaker ability that the top QBs have. I expect Miami will sign him to a 5-7 year deal with outs at year 3. The problem for them is the same problem every team faces - they have other talent that will need contracts. Waddle, Jalen Phillips, etc. Will be interesting to see what happens to the team over the next few years.
  22. You have always been thorough in your assessments, which I respect. I tend to throw a lot of points in one post so pardon any layered thoughts. I agree - what we are seeing KC right now is what the Bills COULD be if they dont address their lack of weapons. Kincaid has shown to be a good receiving TE, can we develop him into a top 5 TE in the league? Does Shakir develop into a slot guy that is truly a differentiator? Do we draft TWO outside options and move Diggs to slot/motion moving forward? What I dont want is next year we go in with Diggs/Shorter on the outside and Shakir in the slot. That's eerily close to KC level of crappy talent. At the end of the day, even without a top end WR room I think the Bills are a playoff team. I just don't think they are a Super Bowl team. Same with KC right now. They are a playoff team, but not a Super Bowl Team. It's important that Beane continues to address holes on the team and drafts well. Things he has shown to do in the past. Unfortunately, this season will ride on Allen's ability to create, and the team's ability to win the turnover battle. We likely aren't going to win in a straight shootout with teams. We need to control our possessions, convert redzone opportunities to TDs, and play sound defense, limiting teams to FGs. In the offseason, we will see where we do in FA and the draft. I remember the reports that the Bills really wanted Jalen Addison.... what could have been!
  23. I mean, if we used negative words of course we can discredit the wins we have. We played a Chargers team with a new HC in their first week, with jobs to play for. And we won. We played a Chiefs team who have a top 3 QB who is the focus of the offense, and beat them. In KC. And their defense is spectacular this year. We played an Eagles team who is fighting for a division title, and lost a close game where Allen and Davis were a simple miscommunication from winning. We played a Patriots team who were 2-1 in their last 3 and have a very good defense (allowed over 30 points only once in their last 11 games). We beat up a Dallas team by doing exactly what we should, exploiting their weaknesses. We are 5-1 in our last 6. My opinion is this offense doesn't have an identity, because our previous identity (pass heavy offense with an elite QB/WR) isn't good enough anymore. Davis has had a poor catch rate, Allen doesn't trust his receivers on tight throws, probably because he constantly hears how turnover prone he is. Diggs is likely battling some sort of injury or issue that is limiting him on effectiveness, and he has dropped balls that in previous years he would catch. We just dont have the offense to play like we did with Daboll. It's why Allen has 14 RUSHING td's on the year. The team is in a transition on offense. They will likely go WR early in the draft, and try to bring in talent that will ultimately replace Davis. Shakir is a decent player but not a plus slot guy like Beasley was. Harty is a poor mans Mckenzie. I dont blame Beane for this, I think it's the reality of roster construction. We shored up the OL and sacrificed in the talent areas. We are the opposite of the Dolphins, who have great weapons but a poor OL. This week is THE week to see what we are. Can we beat a Dolphins team that plays well at home? Or do we fold, have turnovers, and struggle to move the ball? Im hoping we come out with the W and the division title!
  24. I'd be shocked if they let him go. He is such a great player, and one you need in a top D
