Ugh 

So this says that Taylor either is not lining up illegally or the Refs and all the coaches are blatantly ignoring it

Kansas City - getting them off the field on 3rd down - well Sean that will require not playing 17 yards off every WR.

Belichick does a tremendous analysis of the way the Chiefs defend us, starting at 6 minutes.

 

A big part of their game plan is the spy on Josh, Willie Gay. Maybe his biggest point is, we have to have plays ready to beat man coverage, which is Spags' speciality.

 

Brings up the question of who the Chiefs will double now that Diggs is gone. Says Kincaid, maybe. 

 

Gotta say, Belichick is growing on me. This is a weird season.

 

Still, no one talks about the James Cook weapon. I get it whenever they talk about Allen and the offense, they talk about the passing game and Allen's leg. Last year even when Cook surprised everyone with the Dallas game, it is still kind of one-off, not the norm kind of deal. I really feel this year is different. Yes KC is good against run, but so are quite a few teams we have faced this season and we still ran on them. The one thing I don't think we are doing particularly well is blending the pass and run. It used to be RPO that Josh did fairly well. Recently it is more play action based - and it should be based on how Cook and Davis are doing - but the mix is not quite there yet. Too often a play action resulted Josh holding onto the ball with nowhere to go with the ball. I don't know it is the receivers not selling the block (Gabe Davis was really good at that), or Josh is too greedy looking for big plays.

Everyone better get ready for non-stop "false starts" that go uncalled on the KC RT. Guy lines up in the backfield every play and jumps early constantly. It's so frustrating.

Hopefully the noise of our crowd can get him to jump even earlier.

I don't get quite as upset about things like a missed holding call or a bang bang pass interference call. Those are hard to call in real time and I'm generally in favor of just letting them play. But the missed false starts/illegal formations against the Chiefs is something that only adds fuel to the idea that they have the early 2000's Patriots protections. Those calls are just not debatable.

McDermott just confirmed no Kincaid and no Coleman. 

[BuffaloBaumer]

Brown is the only one I care about playing this week. I am not banking on Cooper playing, rest him another 2 weeks and get him right.

Taylor commits a penalty on almost every snap.  The refs can't call him for 40 penalties a game, so he gets away with it.  It is actually a pretty brilliant strategy when you know you are dealing with idiot refs.

I'm glad they're not pushing it w/ Kincaid - not that I know the specifics of his injury.  But knee injuries in general can be dicey, and persistent.  With the bye week coming up, hopefully he can fully heal and be 100% for the home stretch.

 

[richNjoisy]

Don't be so sure - about Taylor. He now absolutely has a reputation for this. If the CBS crew starts talking about this, as I expect they might, the NFL may want this to stop. All we need is one ref to start dropping the hanky. Just one.  Maybe this Sunday?

It sucks that all those tickets were available on the secondary market and it kind of flies in the face of Buffalo being the little guy and speaks poorly on the fans selling for profit.

 

Have to get used to it though because after next year it will be the norm in the new place when 50% of the fans will be visiting teams fans.

You should have buttered the floor at the terminal they were in.

I'll be going to the game but it is tempting.  You can more than double your money.  Pay for Thanksgiving!

He's at the airport, not the falls.

We beat KC three straight regular season games. Did it do us any good in the postseason? No. 

 

Everyone in the organization will be judged on how the postseason goes. I don't even think half the fan base will care on Monday if we win.

Pretty damn frustrating that they give up the short easy pass on third and eight with regularity, jmo.

It’s only obscure and doesn’t get called much because you would have to be absolutely brain dead to do it.

 

Happens all the time. There were numerous screenshots last year of players being lined up offside without drawing a flag. 

 

The reason it almost never happened before last year is the league made a point to enforce it, thanks to the Eagles' "tush push." The idea was to make sure O-linemen were lining up properly. Very few WRs were/are called for it.
