We are just so predictable

Another top defender hurt? I'm so sick of this light and hurt d

Run d blows

Very true, but also except maybe Detroit no one really plays that clean.

Awful result, Ramsey made a great play on the ball but keon had that clean and messed it up, 7 point robbery

these chiefs would either have to have a real fall apart moment, or have some key players hurt for them to not own the 1 seed at the end of the season, but stranger things have happened. us having only 3 losses at the end of the season would be pretty monster given where we are right now and who are are slated to play, so if we beat the chiefs and drop one vs the rams/sf/det and kc has afc losses so we win on a tie breaker seems like the most likely but still very unprobeable path to the 1 seed. winning the division and being healthy is the most important thing. TB, MM, and everyone on D and O being in tip top shape is worth a lot more than homefield and even a bye.

if he were an LB or a DE he'd have a few super splash plays, but not be considered with his draft stock, the old looks like tarzan plays like game saying. I compare richardson to devon white. insane (like limit nfl ability) athletes who just are not good football players. the thing is white was a monster for a year or two and contributed bigly to his team winning a chip, so i don't even know if you can really say he was a top 5 pick bust (i suppose he was, but the team got a chip, so it is worth it. richardson is just bad at qb. perfect RAS but he isn't productive. with all the stick lamar gets (altho he hasn't gotten the playoff monkey off of his back yet) for being more of an athlete and less of a qb, richardson is what that actually looks like.

Rest in Peace.

we are def not getting the separation we need, altho that seemed to change a bit at times vs seattle. coleman is just not a natural separator, he can use his athletic talent to make small spaces matter, and just sort of steal the ball in the air, but that's not a skill he's shown, could change. mvs and hollins have run a lot of routes for us, and they suck out loud when covered. i don't think tight ends really get much separation as a position (the good ones find a little seam and use the big body to screen the defender) and i don't think backs running around behind or less than 5 yards of the LOS even count as separation since they aren't being actively covered, but if someone knows i'd like to hear about it. cooper is our sole get open quickly guy, and he's actually really good at it. josh has been about the longest holder of the ball in his nfl career, and has done magic work on broken plays. when the qb holds the ball, you basically get a situation where the d can't cover everyone for ever. if we can keep running like a tank, hitting backs in stride, some sort of semblance of a screen game, then i think play action and the addition of cooper can get us to like maybe mid of the pack going forward. allen with a run game and any open wrs, behind what is shaping up to be a solid line, is not something nfl d's can handle, and i'm here for it.

i kinda lol'd when brady said that. I didn't think he was bad all game, sort of sounded young or naive, which is hilarious given how much he knows about football. it's silly that it is a word people will be sensitive about because muscle spasms are such a common thing and happen to football players all the time.

he's awesome. reminds me of the old adage "power fits all schemes". i don't think he's available or would fit in our cap situation, but he might be one of the few guys (simmons in tenn, but i heard he might be playing hurt) who could match a myles garrett impact to our d

im usually the hopeful guy who thinks we can win out or whatever, i was even an early believer in the 2 seed last season! but, this year is really really strange because we can win the next two and basically be one more divisional win away from mathematically clinching the division, I honestly can't think of when that has happened this early in the season in the afc east -- but i think finishing ahead of balt/pittz, houston, and kc is really really hard. obv houston having guys hurt could torpedo them, and pittz and balt might end up beating up on each other, but even if we beat kc, it's gonna be hard to catch them. i'd be shocked if we go only losing 0,1,2 more games the rest of the way, obv i'd be elated if we do. i think we win the next 2 and it is clear that we will win the division, if not mathematically certain at that point. my biggest hope is that we get to the playoffs as healthy as we can be.

a mobile qb with dump off threats is a problem. i think w cooper and now w coleman emerging we might have found our answer to closed man coverage, but backs being a real threat to gain and allen running being mixed in effectively might give the O a good tool to use in all kinds of weather. no matter what we do, the motion and the play action has to stay active. no one seems to have an answer for that.

i thought he'd be way more productive for us, he's really fast, but doesn't look it. I think his toe/foot is a mess and a quickness guy w a bad wheel is basically useless. hopefully he heals up and gets better, so ya IR might be where he needs to go. if he can become a solid contributing guy, we can get a lot of value from him. i kinda wish we spent the money we spent on him on a quality nfl safety and drafted another wr at this point. i was really big on bishop coming out of utah, but he's shown zilch so far, so that's a 2nd pick and a bigger fa contract contributing zero.

when we were going wide open and threatening every blade of grass and josh was running wild, singletary had a great YPC stat line because he ran into light boxes where guys were back pedaling and being terrified of a josh run or pass. in the playoffs or big games singletary was quite simply a zero factor. not fast, not physical, was not good in passing, he scared no one. the 2021 afc chip game at KC was likely a game we could never win, but i remember TE and RB being nothing burgers all day. our banged up wrs got mugged, and i remember devon dropping an easy catch that would have been a big gainer when we needed it most. i think as it sits now, our WR corps is still below a healthy beaz, brown, diggs and who ever else we plugged in (had that fast vet at one point, young gabe davis at another) and that might change as they gel, but holy cow the talent difference in our OL and our RB and TE group is a shocking improvement. also -- w steelers, baltimore, kc, and houston all with solid shots at really good records, and us so close to clinching the division super early, it feels like we are destined to not have a shot at the 1 seed, so no bye week, and one home game and then on the road in the playoffs. being able to block people up and run and run play action is gonna be super necessary in that situation, so the TE/OL/RB game will be what gives us a chance at road wins IMO.

since dec of 2018 allen is 11-1 vs the dolphins. the only loss he had in that span was the 120 degree sideline game where we lost by 1 point and outgained them by 200 yards. allen was lying when he said he doesn't get sushi in buffalo.

man, they barely even drop back, the run heavy play action stuff is kryptonite for us. mcd will have to show serious improve and have a good showing for us to have a chance.

i was one letter too excited!

garnett to bills? clap your hands kids!

IMO aside from the adjustments the game script changes really help our D in the 2nd. teams not being able to just grind out with runs because they fear the bills scoring quickly puts them in a worse position vs the mcDefense. clearly the adjustments showed improvement vs houston, zona, and to a lesser extend bmore even tho they had solid leads on us early. The O laying eggs early is our biggest issue. giving the ball back to the opponents early in the game lets them build confidence and do some creative stuff on O against us, it took some mana for us to have a nice first half lead vs the seahags, but they clearly lost compsoure. i will give the o a lot of credit for overcoming some really crummy penalties in several drives on sunday. i think that helps the d, who just don't do well off of 3 and outs where the opponents get some mo.

he's not always impressive based on the eye test because he never rushes his feet, so he looks like he's not going fast while blowing past everyone. i remember watching him after the dallas blowout yesterday thinking "well, maybe he is gonna be nearly as good as i thought he was coming out of georgia" and then looking up his stats and being kinda socked he was like top 6 from scrimmage. imo, he's our best "feature" back considering we don't actual use a feature back. he produces coming in and out of games, and with limited touches. he's developed a nose for the endzone and really trucks hard when he's near the goal line, and that's basically exactly what we need. he's gonna have double digit running touchdowns and his season high for touches will prolly be under 25. the big difference of this team vs say the 13 second team is the blocking from the line and the production we can get from the RB and TE positions. hopefully we have figured out how to beat pressure man Ds because we have absolutely been eating up zone d's.

I didn't like the 2nd down QB draw, but my gosh we just kill ourselves w penalties

Seen a lot of zone and cover odd (1,3). Motion has been nice too

I'm not gonna say mana again, but Seattle showing way less composure than our bills is worth like 14 or so points so far.

Consecutive droves where we got from heaven!
