Coach Tuesday

Getting whupped up front. Not good.

135 pages and we still haven’t had a game where the Bills NEEDED their passing offense to win. That’s great complimentary football but it means we don’t know yet.

But that is not the right question in the salary cap era. The question is does Milano's superior talent justify the price difference between the two? And that's where Dorian is closing the gap. Dorian on a rookie contract vs. Milano's veteran cap hit is becoming a harder decision.

In a heartbeat.

Josh Norman 2.0?

I mean isn’t that basically what (is rumored to have) happened?

I'll take "States of Matter" for $500, Alex!

I keep seeing this but - on the Kincaid touchdown it sure looked like he surrendered a pressure (against Walker), then Walker tried to bait the ref into throwing a flag for holding.

Where are you?

Odd that Coleman wasn’t even on the field in the red zone.

Link?

26-20

Underworld was underedited. But a great book. Also happens to contain the incredible short story The Angel Esmeralda IIRC.

Amazing - the Jauron defense and the Gailey offense have finally taken over the league!!

They are contingency planning which they need to be doing - but it almost certainly means that Bass is still looking shaky in practice.

The Bills also have (according to a stat I saw somewhere here the other day) the second-best average drive start over the first two games, due in part to Tua gifting them some easy ones. Let's let the sample size grow a bit more.

Baltimore has made its living as a franchise getting hot down the stretch. Important game? Yes - but not existential.

He had lightening-fast processing and extreme accuracy and ball placement. Like elite levels of those things. I am not writing him off. That franchise is a disgrace.

Pacheco has a fractured fibula and may not be back.

I think/hope it is more the effect of putting in work in the offseason. He seems to know this offense better and his understanding of what defenses are trying to do seems to also have improved. His run checks still need work IMO.

The league should be on notice because JOSH ALLEN HAS GOTTEN BETTER. His body looks right but more important he is thinking the game and winning pre-snap. This is a HUGE development.

I think you are underrating that play (at least). Watch the JT O’Sullivan breakdown (it’s in another thread and is beyond my capabilities to post a link to it). They ran a perfect pick/mesh after putting the key defender in conflict. Wasn’t just using motion to id the defense. Also the choreography shows attention to detail and quality practice habits. That was elite play design and execution and Brady is using Samuel to confuse the defense throughout the games.

I thought both Spector and Williams played their best games as Bills on Thursday. Which is not to say they were perfect - they weren’t - but for the most part not toooooo many false steps (there def were some) and their overall play recognition, speed to the ball carrier, and ability to shed blocks was really solid. By contrast - I actually thought Bernard was slow to react and took bad angles against the Cardinals. But I don’t claim to be an expert in any of this I’m just a novice TV watcher.

McD knows this Dolphins team well. The strategy was the correct one. Tua needs everything to go perfectly on every single passing play because he lacks the physical ability to overcome a bad play call, a receiver running a slightly wrong route, a lineman missing a block etc. So the right strategy is to make them use as many plays as possible because eventually something bad will happen.
