  1. Yep. This is why those losses to the Jets and Patriots are so disappointing. We could be #1 in the AFC right now, if we simply beat two teams that are much worse than us.
  2. Thank you. You were one of the very few who understood what I failed to perfectly describe.
  3. Wyatt Teller, what a beast.
  4. Honestly they remind me of the 2022 Bills. The last 3/4 of the season we were playing poorly but kept winning, so fans were convinced we were great… but we just weren’t.
  5. My goodness the Texans are embarrassing the Bengals.
  6. You’re right that it’s not debatable, but it’s not debatable that we aren’t the worst defense in the league without those guys. Not a single metric shows us to be.
  7. I don’t agree. Patriots scored 17 points against a Commanders defense that we put 37 points on. Patriots scored 17 points against a Dolphins defense that we hung nearly 50 points on. Patriots scored (you guessed it) 17 points against a Raiders defense we put 38 points on. Patriots scored 0 points against a Saints defense that gave up 26 points to the Bucs, 27 points to the Colts, 31 points to the Jags, etc. Unless you’re telling me that we are in the worst defense in the NFL without Ed, Milano and Tre, then we simply played and coached like crap that final drive against NE.
  8. it is so disheartening to see every defense the Patriots play,make them look inept… except for the Bills.
  9. If I was Amazon i’d be really upset with the NFL and the garbage games they put on TNF. A billion dollars per year for the right to broadcast games like the Bears and Panthers.
  10. Great catch. I missed this. Would love a breakdown.
  11. Yes, but he has had to play out of position for much of the year. He is a much better 3 tech than a 1 tech.
  12. Agreed. Heck, we have a good portion of our fanbase who couldn’t imagine letting McDermott go because he got us to the playoffs for the first time in 17 years. Imagine if we had Belichick here and he brought us to 9 Super Bowls? I think those fans may have cemented his feet to Highmark stadium by now 😂
  13. Sorry for the confusion, but I didn’t mean the Rams method, where they traded all their draft picks and mortgaged their future. I mean strategic moves for proven players. For example, rather than waiting until the off-season to sign Von Miller, make the deal to trade for Von Miller during the season, like it was rumored. I truly believe if we had Von Miller in 13 Seconds, we win. He would have been the difference in getting that 1 extra stop somewhere during the game, in my opinion. Or trading for Roquan Smith last offseason, when we knew Edmunds would be hard to keep, and rumors were that we were interested. He is balling in playing like a top 10 LB in Baltimore now. Imagine a defense with Milano, Roquan and and Bernard? *Chills*. His contract at the time was very doable, though he has since gotten a big deal that we couldn’t afford. Or even as simple as signing Hopkins. It would be great to have a sure handed receiver that can high-point the ball, and at least thus far he hasn’t been a basket case in Tennessee. There was also the CMC trade that has boosted SF’s offense. It just seems like we are always talking to teams about proven players but it never comes to fruition. And I can fully respect why Beane doesn’t want to. He wants to be a good steward of his draft picks and the cap. But I would love to have made 1 or 2 of these moves. .
  14. Agreed. Of all the national media, Simms and Florio are the best, in my opinion. They’re not the ESPN-type-blowhards. Love Florio’s comments pointing out that the Bills never push their chips in and go for it. They simply re-tool moderately every year and never go after elite guys to push us over the top. I get why they don’t. But I would be lying if I said I wouldn’t love them doing that.
  15. Not really. He had 2 reads there - Diggs and Davis. Honestly he just underthrew it. A proper throw and that's a 30 yard gain.
  16. 'm sure you've seen it, but watch the endzone view of the ALL-22 and he is not even seeing/looking the dump down option. He is keeping his eyes downfield.
  17. Play 1: Allen briefly looks at Davis to the left but sees his defender has safety help and moves to Kincaid, who is running the same route to the right. Hits him for a nice gain that almost went for a TD. Play 2: Sherfield has 1 on 1 and abuses his defender from the snap. Allen rightfully sticks with him. Play 3: This was discussed yesterday. Allen looks to Gabe first but he has coverage shallow and behind him. He makes the right read and goes to the man with a 1 on 1. Play 4: This is the hole shot play where Gabe got open and Allen threw to him. Play 5: Kincaid was the first read and he quickly got leverage and was open. Allen rightfully threw to him. Gabe may be getting open but Allen is making the right read.
  18. Yes and I thought he played quite well. The d-line was getting really good push and shut down the Cinci run game. Ed finished the game with 7 hurries and 2 tackles and 1 stop. I was also impressed that Linval Joseph came off the couch and played 42% of the snaps.
  19. That’s why I was so excited to see the double reverse flea flicker thing. Not because I thought it would work, but rather because it was a sign that there was some creativity left *somewhere* in the dusty pages of the playbook.
  20. This doesn’t look like an RPO to me. If so, Allen did not give any indication of RPO and Diggs did not seem ready... at all… for a pass. I also don't think i've seen a tackle pull on any RPO pass this year. Have you? I'll have to check my notes. Came back to edit; Found an RPO with Spencer Brown pulling a couple weeks ago. .
  21. I honestly wasn't attempting to make a connection, but I can see how it appears that way. I am just as confused as everyone else as to why these same players (and in many cases upgrades - speaking of the line) have regressed since Daboll left.
  22. In years past, Allen hit this pass in roughly the red circle below. The safety just has no chance to get there. One move and Gabe might be gone. But if you want to see a tight window throw... My goodness...
  23. I would ask - did these same players screw up less under Daboll? You're right, there is, but he has little chance at the ball (he is too far away). I have a hard drive with plenty of this exact throw by Allen throughout the years that made it. I'm not sure why he is underthrowing these.
