11/7/21 Gameday Bills @ Jaguars Pregame Thread

[Process]

Having 11 dlineman makes little to no sense. 3 inactive every week. Really surprised they didn't trade one at the deadline, even if we didn't get much in return.

What's wrong with that shirt?  Digg it!

 

Now that Josh Allen has pointed out the details of the pattern more closely, that's an AWESOME shirt!

Just like Yeldon last year, why is Breida taking up space on the active roster? Not even active for the easiest of games.

Because if  have an injury to Moss, Singletary or McKenzie he will need to be called to the game day active roster.

So three healthy scratches Obada, Breida, and Basham

Wow didn't know they kept a separate stat for bone headed sacks.  So how many does Josh have career wise, where's does that rank on the bone headed list?

 

Don't think anyone has said he gets sacked too much overall, but when he does many are ones that end up with 15 yard loses and ones that he easily could have thrown it away, but didn't.  So overall sack stats don't tell the story here, unless as I asked they do keep a separate total for bone headed ones.

Wow .. if he has taken 15 yard boneheaded sacks, given his total sack yardage is 47 I think at most he has 3. There are also no stats for “Holy crap .. how did he avoid that sack” but we have all seen them

So here's the problem with that "boneheaded sacks that end up with 15 yd losses where he could easily have thrown it away" thing

 

For every one of those, there's at least one play he amazingly extended and hit for a 20+ yd completion downfield and a first down, when he could have easily thrown it away"

 

You can't have the latter without some of the former.

Darn good question. I am concerned about run game. We have made virtually no changes to make it happen and Dec is coming. Either give Breida chance or dump him for someone. 

We know who Devin and Moss are. Only hope wasvSoender B and he is out again. This is our biggest worry.

I had to get in the Gabriel reference with my favorite Gabriel song.  I'm crushed, but I'll get over it (the Edmunds Report, must continue, after all).  At least Obam..., er....., Obada was inactive....

Zim?  He was on the injury report, but practiced Full each day and had no game status.

I love me some Zim and hate to see him benched

Keeping him around in case one of the "top two" gets hurt.  I placed in in quotes as many could argue hard to say they are the top ones.  Admittedly not often a team makes through all season without a RB getting hurt so they want someone who knows the offense.

 

I agree with you in that was hoping they'd keep all three active each week, but the question then becomes who do you want to sit instead.  The likely choice would be a D lineman, but already have 3 on the inactive list.  Adding in the Bills are more a passing offense, hard to really argue with only keeping two active.

OK I assumed he was still hurt.

That is true too, so does make it tough.

Who's the guy in the middle, the QB coach??

 

I think that's Shea Tierney, who was promoted to "Assistant QB Coach" last year but has worked 1:1 with Josh since he was a rookie

Wasn't necessarily talking about this season only, more career wise.  Houston playoff game comes to mind, took them out of field goal range at the end.  Admittedly that was two seasons ago and he's doing better of late.

I guess he might be <100%

 

I imagine just because a guy practices in full doesn't mean he isn't still getting treatment for an injury and not quite himself
