And quit being so damn predictable

Lol, does it matter though, they're most likely one and done

The reason you use mesh is it sets open window reads and they're all really rapid. So you know - this guy uncovers first, then this guy, then finally that guy - and this guy over here is the hot. But if none of them uncover in rhythm (because the opponent knows you're running mesh) - they know once you move off read 1, you don't have time to go back to read 1, so i no longer have to cover him, then you end up with these busted plays where no one is open. There's plenty of ways to beat man coverage beyond mesh or rub routes. The challenge with the construction of these plays is always going to be proper diagnosis of coverage, identifying when players will uncover, and knowing when you have to get the ball out. Plus route running will help, but it's more of an issue of timing. When you run a timing based offense the ball goes to the same place at the same time. If you're running double moves to shake tight man coverage, that takes more time regardless of how fast you are. Part of the challenge buffalo is running into on a lot of scramble drills also reflects on the route's they're running. They run too close together so buying time doesn't create space since there will be multiple defenders in the area of bunched receivers. End of the day - if they're getting home with 4 THAT consistently, you have to change your approach.

Steelers have the 27th ranked defense in yards allowed and the 20th ranked scoring defense. This isn’t the Texans we are facing, we should be able to move the ball on them.

Here is mine (mind you my thoughts are we need a reset... we need to get rid of bad contracts that pay A- money to C plus or minus players this means we hurt next year.... take cap hits... etc... because the mediocrity after you get by Allen and Cook is palpable... Offense QB: Josh RB: Cook & Davis WR1: ? EVERY WR Position needs an upgrade... Samuel is a joke, Palmer can go for the money we are paying him as well as Coleman... Slot: Shakir WR2: WR3: WR4: G Davis TE1: Kincaid TE2: Hawes (Knox cut for cap) Offensive Line: Returns in full unless they make moves for cap (may need to look at SVP as a replacement for McGovern.) Defense LDE: Groot (unless we can move him in a trade) too much money here for too little production DT: Oliver DT: Walker RDE: ? (crickets) WB: Bernard can go for the kind of money he is being paid MLB: ? SLB: ? (Maybe Dorian Williams but I think they know they need a lot of a talent added even with him in the fold) CB1: Benford CB2: Hairston NCB: You all may kill me for this... but we need another CB... lets see how Benford does here in place of Johnson who must go. FS: Bishop SS

Seriously. How many players are out there and that is the call being made? It’s like the Bills only have the contact info for ex bills.

Lindsey Halligan. 🤣

Considering we got Sanders playing DE, some kind of DE reinforcement is needed

Agreed. I think McD will be hiring a vet DC who has new ideas to help overhaul the team to a 4-3 Hybrid. The hard thing with this defense is it has been so banged up, had new pieces left and right that it is hard to know if it is the player not performing in T Johnson/Bernard's case which they certainly have... BUT is it also the sum of the parts just being such a mess they are being left out to dry.

From the article we are discussing: "On the sack front, the Bills have empowered Allen to handle free rushers instead of leaning on intricate protection schemes to do the job, according to coaches familiar with Buffalo. ... Allen can make defenders miss and break away from their grasp as well as just about any quarterback. He can also play freer without directing more of his energy and preparation toward setting protections." He puts it on himself.

I get why people feel sorry about all this and feel sad and lose hope. Just disappointed in the lack of resilience.

You know what Brady’s scheme will be. Bubble screens and runs up the middle where the ball is handed off 5 yards behind the LoS. There’s zero pressure on this coaching staff so I don’t see them changing anything that their pure genius came up with

BB & McD…”Josh…we are so sorry.“

Get a 17 pounder, drink early in the day to take the edge off. Tell them fatties at the table there’s a new sheriff in town, and he’s all about discipline and self-moderation. Supplement the turkey and trimmins with scrambled eggs for those who feel the need to engorge themselves on your dime. Tell em eggs are cheap, like $&@$ing Planet $&#*ing Fitness. I’m just spitballing here for now, let me work through it a bit. My gift to you.

It's from 2023. It was retweeted today probably because of the Raiders firing.

preaching to the choir, brother. It’s like AAU ball out there. So stupid. This entire roster will turnover next year probably.

lawson has been in the recent news and rumors of being back on the roster for this weekend, per sources since we need help at DE... so he was on my mind. oops!

Valid point, however which offense would you say is operating more efficiently at this point in the season.

that is a fair point. This particular show was “Hell’s Kitchen,” which is the Alicia Keyes jukebox musical. It had a really cool, diverse audience, which I really thought was neat.

My broadstroking pompous insensitivity on full display. I need to work on that. 😬

I hope you mean Shaq Thompson, not Lawson lol.

Betcha the Bills D could leave those ghosts standing there with their mouths open shaking their heads....

Not whining, just disappointed. Not the same thing at all.

No and I've been pretty consistent on this I watch a lot of football and I've never seen a team that puts more on their QB. The Lamar era ravens come close but they've at least attempted to install a functional offense around him

When you go shopping at midnight out of necessity, you should expect to have fewer options. We can’t go 5 deep at every position, and you never know which unit will have the brunt of the injuries. We used to start the season like this to find starters at the last camp cutdown. I remember those days clearly, and I’m not panicking just because Lawson’s name has been mentioned here. I’m not thrilled, but I’m not panicking. It is what it is.
