Spotlight on Roger Saffold---WTF is he doing on the 98 yard TD pass?

Speculation:

 

With our passing game, and our lack of running game, and our offensive line compared to the Chiefs' offensive line, would it actually be better for the Bills to play the 2023 AFC Championship in warmer weather at Arrowhead in late January instead of on the frozen tundra in Buffalo? 🤒

No.  No. No.  Stop day drinking.

He was a big time FA signing. Just a whiff 

Bring back Ike!

1 year, 6mil is a "big time signing"?  I don't think so.  The refusal of Beane and McD to use Day 1 and Day 2 draft pick on the IOL is maddening.

They drafted Cody Ford in round 2, it just didn't work.

Saffold was dumped by the Titans for a reason.

 

Hopefully his play improves to serviceable as the season progresses but he's by far the worst olineman on the team and looks like a bad FA move along with Settle and Crowder.

Titans also traded away their best WR and made the Eagles a powerhouse.

NEWS FLASH: It's cold in Kansas City in January and February too

Is there a problem with Pass Pro?  I think its been good to great.  Light years ahead of where it was last year at this time.  Could things be a bit better? Yes.  Should we make a high investment? Yes.  But I feel better that Josh is not just running for his life like he did in the early part of last year.

I’d definitely prefer the game to be in Orchard Park …IF it’s not windy. Like it or not, Josh has a few throws where he misjudges the wind when there’s enough to be a factor. Still amazing and I’d take him over any QB out there. It’s just that nagging sense that in a close game vs a top opponent those couple misses could be costly.

A January game in KC will not be warm.  Believe it or not, Buffalo's average temperatures in January are only slightly lower than KC's.  

 

Aren't you sick of losing playoff games at Arrowhead?  We need the game to be played at home.

They need to put Bates back to LG where he belongs and have Quessenberry start at RG. Instant upgrade at 2 positions without having to make a trade.

 

Thats a pretty dam good idea.  Saffold looks pretty much done at this point.  Once Boettger is healthy, maybe they can just cut Saffold.

Can't judge interior linemen on single plays like that.   Blocking assignments can be complex and we aren't privy to what was called there.

 

The real test is coming this sunday in KC.   If Chiefs Dline can get push up the middle it ends up being a tough go for Josh because he starts to bail out earlier as the game goes on, and when that happens he starts taking more shots.   I like Dorsey over Daboll because I feel like he's more sensitive to Josh's well being with the calls after we have a decent lead.

 

Gonna need to have a big day from the boys in the trenches, we'll see what we're made of....

Agree on Dorsey.  Feel as if he has schemed to neutralize the likes of Donald, Simmons, and Heyward.  All three of them are forces up the middle getting after the QB.  Quick game is the perfect scheme to neutralize those type of players.

I believe it because Buffalo is near water, which will usually be warmer than the surrounding land and help keep temps warmer than they otherwise would be.  KC is surrounded by land, so they don't have that benefit even though they are further south.  When I was in Ohio, some of the coldest temps I have ever been in were in this little town called Mount Gilead which was in the middle of nowhere about 45 minutes north of Columbus and it would regularly be like -5 or -8 there in the mornings when I left for work. Fingers felt like fish sticks they were so cold and my bones hurt.  Could not imagine living in places like Minnesota, North Dakota or even places in NYS like Watertown or Lake Placid where it routinely gets in the --20s and -30s without wind chills in the winter---AND they get Buffalo amounts of snow on top of it, unlike most of the other colder places in the upper Midwest.

Nope, but I majored in it for 2 years at a top 10 Meteorology School before switching majors. 

 

Does that make me an expert?

No.

Does that mean I know a hell of a lot more than the average person walking around?

Yes.
