Sucks to lose a home game. Wish this happened in one of the years where we have 9.

I just slowed it down and I think you’re right - I think the ball slightly deflects off the DB’s forearm. Still catchable though. .

100% agreed. And Davis has had several drops this year. Here is a photo of the Knox drop. I can’t believe I didn’t notice this during the game. My adrenaline was pumping.

That’s such a great gif!

Yeah that Gabe Davis catch was a gift. Just found the Knox play and posted it. I didn’t realize how catchable the ball was. Knox should have ended the game right here. Bummer.

You realize they test player speed at the combine right? Hines was faster than all 3.

I also remember thinking that Knox was interfered with in the endzone on the back shoulder throw. Can’t remember if it was in OT or near the end of the game.

- He mentions that Gabe Davis only runs 3 primary routes and knowing that from film study makes it easier on the defense. The DB says Davis showed all game what he showed on tape. - On the game ending INT he said he knows our redzone concepts and as soon as he saw Davis motion into the bunch and run the laser concept, all he had to do was stay tight in his coverage.

He is faster than both Diggs and Gabe Davis. Edit: and Cole Beasley .

Yeah I was assuming the Bills see Hines as more of a pass catcher than a runner.

I’m assuming they tell him what the main audible option would be on that play. But not sure.

Anyone that is arguing over 0.1 yard is not interested in an actual discussion, but rather wanted to just argue. I bow out.

On way less touches, yes. If you visit the Colts forum, they were begging Reich to use him more, and they were very sad when he was traded. Numerous posts of “Hope the Bills use him more than we did”.

He kinda was. He was a fan favorite and was touted as having a breakout year this year due to how he played last year. He averaged 5 yards per carry rushing and 8 yards per receptions. That would be tops on our team.

Nope, right Hines. he was stuck behind the best running back in the league last year

This. We don’t even need precision routes from Hines. We just need to get the ball into his hands any way possible and let him make people miss. Josh in the huddle: “Run to the flat, if they’re playing man i’m hitting you. Make someone miss.” This wouldn’t work for 60 plays per game. We all know that. The point is it would work for 10-15 plays per game. That means he is on the field for only 15% or so of the snaps.

There isn’t an offense in the NFL that doesn’t require route memorization, whether via fixed routes or choice routes. The idea that we run a much more sophisticated offense than Minnesota is ridiculous. On top of that, our RB’s route tree is not overly complex. They’re not running post patterns or deep seems. They’re not WR’s. They’re running swings, angles, wheels and flats. The easiest routes in football. Regardless, the point is that they don’t need to know the entire offense to contribute in a minor role (15 plays per game or so).

The idea is to use the player and his talents and abilities quickly, but not in every situation until he learns the offense. Hines would not need to be relied on for 60 plays a game. You wouldn’t need to limit your play calling for every play. How about 15 though? Minnesota is making it work.

They said during the broadcast that when Hockensen was traded to Minnesota, they put him right in whether he knew the plays or not. They would tell him in the huddle “run to the 30 and turn right”. It’s worked.

For example, this interception is not on Dorsey’s play calling. This is on Allen.

After watching that video, a lot of the problem is simply Allen. Dorsey isn’t helping, but my goodness is Allen missing a lot of throws.

I believe it and this isn’t the first time we’ve heard of financial issues with the Raiders. 1) They we’re 4 years past due in paying parking revenue to the county. 2) They wanted to re-sign Khalil Mack but didn’t have enough money to fulfill the NFL’s escrow rule on guaranteed contracts. 3) A dozen Raiders employees resigned or were let go over concerns of “financial disorder” in the organization. 4) They reportedly took a $500M loss in 2020. 5) They still owe $65M to Oakland and they had to take out a nearly $1 Billion dollar loan to built their stadium. Imagine the debt payment on that each year. Oh and they had to pay a $350M relocation fee but they didn’t have the money to do so, so the NFL made it a debt service that they now pay, I assume, yearly.

I for on appreciate you telling us about Josh putting his foot down. I had not known that before.

Interesting. Ive never heard that played during kickoff.

Arcane is right. It’s The White Stripes. I don’t know of any rap song played during kickoff.
