Brand J

This has been the most bizarre week for kicks that I can remember.

Watch Mahomie on the bootleg right. They love that on 4th and short.

Terrible PI call. Absolutely terrible.

Tua was sacked 8 times in 2 games against the Colts and Pats and had MORE OL starters out this game. Only Bosa recorded a QB hit. Walker pressured a couple times as well, but overall the pass rush was anemic - even when Tua wasn’t getting the ball out fast.

Pretty soon it’s gonna be Walker starting next to Oliver.

Actually if you look at the play again, his assignment was the running back and he was running into the flat. Bernard sprinted that way to cover him and Tua inexplicably threw the ball to the curl route Dorian Williams was defending, right to Bernard. The offensive design of that play was bad. Tua either has to hold it for Bernard to clear, or throw it to the flat before he gets there. Bernard effectively covered two players.

When it bogs down that much, I do have to think Josh is leaving some plays out there. The All-22 will tell the truth.

Someone in the GDT said they had never seen a kick that bad. They must have missed the Bass chip shot against the Steelers in the playoffs that sliced wiiiiiiide left. THAT was the ugliest kick I’ve ever seen.

Dolphins have held the ball for an eternity on their successful drives.

I used to be a Babich believer, but no more. Bills are getting punched in the mouth on both sides of the ball now.

Rousseau does deserve plenty of criticism. Haven’t seen him flash as a pass rusher OR a run defender. I thought with the addition of Bosa he’d be more noticeable on the other end, but he’s playing like a $5M/yr guy.

Rousseau’s pass rush has been so disappointing, man EDIT: that was AJE

Dolphins missing half their OL. No problem. Reminds me of the playoffs when the backup Bengals dominated.

Love Matt Milano, but it was the right move to cut a year off his contract. His body breaks down too often, time to get younger there. Bring in a top 100 draft pick at LB to compete with Dorian next year.

He doesn’t call an exciting offense and the passing game bogs down until the Bills are trailing, but we’re getting production when it matters most. As I said in another thread, there’s no need to run Josh Allen on 2nd and 9 from midfield. Let the RBs bang into the OL, let Josh pass, or scramble if it’s there. That’s what you’re paying him $55M to do. I don’t need to see him get seriously injured before the designed runs stop. Save that for the playoffs in the redzone.

Three things are guaranteed - death, taxes, and Burrow missing games every year.

I was hoping the Chiefs would lose by 3 so that gamble by Reid from his own 35 yard line would be questioned - and maybe make him gun-shy against another contender.

Mahomes out there switching his hips like Daisy Doodle.

I have no problem with Allen scrambling for yards, but I would like Brady to stop using Allen as a fullback - especially on nonsense downs. That sort of stuff should be reserved for the playoffs and near the goal line. You just re-signed a guy for $12M/yr to take that punishment. Use him.

Teams need to study the Browns defense against the Ravens. They always seem to do well against them. It can’t ALL be personnel, can it? They don’t have a team filled with defensive all pros.

No, I got it pretty well. And wouldn’t have been bashing Beane for acquiring Parsons because we got gashed in the run game (like we do against the Ravens every time we play them). Parsons is elite at getting to the QB, that’s what he does. Is that worth $47M/yr? That part of the argument is debatable.

If a team is giving up 250 rushing yards, the blame far exceeds ONE player.

Line has moved from Bills -6.5 to -5.5. Lots of money must be coming in for the Jets to cover.

It’s just that athletes aren’t supposed to put other high performing athletes on blast. Last year Steve Smith said Keon Coleman “wasn’t the guy,” okay that was fair… at the time. But to have Allen tearing up the league, a day after he did something no other QB in the league has done in the 4th and to have Draymond criticizing his overall body of work, I think that’s somewhat noteworthy. What’s his agenda? Is it to rage bait or become a villain amongst Bills fans? If so, why? Did the Bills beat his favorite team or something?

It’s possible he’s rage baiting. He said Bills fans can come at him all they want but until Allen wins a SB, he’s right. So by that logic I guess Lamar Jackson is not the guy, Joe Burrow, or any other outstanding QB in the game who hasn’t won it all. There are 53 players on a roster, not 12 like the NBA.
