Hey commie Kay went with the word salad social "science" "science" Shocking! 😂

I think they were running a dime package, 3 CB's 3 S's 1 LB [Bernard]. Lewis can play both CB and S.

I've got a friend who has been working on the stadium since very early on and is still in it every week, he's been anywhere there is concrete, so pretty much everywhere, and he has not said a single word about obstructed views, so color me skeptical. The early renderings make it look bad for stairs being in the way, but I think they were thrown together so the buyers have something to look at. I doubt they built it with handrails and stairs going up several feet in front of the first row.

PFR defines an on target throw as a throw that "would have hit the intended receiver" so they're pretty generous with it I think. For example Tua's throw back to Tyreek after he escaped the CB blitz on 3rd and long I wouldn't exactly classify as a very accurate throw but since it was in the area of Tyreek and he made the catch I'm pretty sure they mark that as an on target throw. But yeah there's going to be a bit of subjectivity there. With on target percentage they exclude throwaways and spikes.

The Bills didn't change their offensive strategy after the RTK call. The penalty gave the Bills a first down on the Fins' 36. They handed off twice to Cook for runs of 6 and 3 yards. Then they handed off to Johnson for 7 yards and a first down at the 20. Allen threw a short 5 yard pass to Palmer at the 15. The TD pass to Shakir wasn't 15 yards downfield into the end zone. It was just a few yards downfield that Shakir turned into a score by YAC. The Bills are who they are: a team that's methodical, relentless, and opportunistic. They had no doubt that they could stop Miami. As a fan, you see them having to punt again, and you worry about the Fins scoring a TD. The Bills see a punt downed on the 2 yard line as an opportunity to force the Fins to punt from inside their 12 yard line -- or better yet, an opportunity for a safety. They see the RTK penalty as just the kind of stupid mistake desperate teams make that give them more opportunities to score. We will just have to agree to disagree because it is philosophical. I'm a believer in what are some common cliches in the NFL because I think that there are real kernels of truth in them: "defense wins championships" "build a team from the lines out" "running games travel well". Needless to say, I don't have issue with the Bills on offense. I worry about the defense.

Slightly contrarian 3 steps: 1. Ditch Codrington. Put Shavers or somebody back there. 2. Cut Solomon then sign to PS. I don't see any more production from him than Epenesa. Epenesa has made plays in past years. The Internet says Solomon had 2 sacks last year but I don't remember them. I'm not a fan of undersized DL. (Which is one reason I was optimistic about Bosa this year). 3. Get L. Jackson a hangnail and put him on IR I'd keep Samuel on hand for injury contingency. He played fine in the playoffs iirc and his cap hit is rough.

it's just bizarre how much better McBeane drafts in the later rounds than he does in the early ones.

We don't have any wide receivers [perhaps Moore] that would flourish in a deep ball environment. 40 times: Coleman 4.61 Shakir 4.43 Palmer 4.52 Cook 4.42 Moore 4.35 Shavers 4.59 I feel the need for speed

I would be interested to know who is actually doing the 'accurate throw' count as well Not every throw that a receiver isn't in perfect place for is an inaccuracy...outside Shakir we don't exactly have a bunch of polished route runners

This. All teams generally dance with the ones who brung ya. I would love to see these young guys develop. Would love to see Solomon getting worked in more at end. Maybe rotate Ray Davis in for full series, like last year. Get Hancock and strong more playing time.

It was actually a manila folder... same difference.

Nah it's dead avg 16th at 33att/gm He just has an extra game on everyone else

PFR has Allen with 49 on target throws. If I'm correct that they are only counting the first 2 games, that would put his on target throw rate at 92.5% which would be 2nd in the NFL behind Jalen Hurts. Allen has been exceptionally accurate this year. The training camp reports that he was throwing the ball better than ever have proven correct. I don't know what made you think that a pass catcher having to make "full extension" on a catch or having to come back to the ball is unusual or counts as an inaccurate throw.

Gilliam leads the team every year in ST snaps. Basically the captain of our coverage teams. Not sure you are going to see a rookie dinged up CB take that workload.

Josh Allen is throwing the ball A LOT. He currently leads the NFL in passing attempts with 99.

I know... I've hit a knew low quoting myself! What's next, becoming a Jets fan? I'm concerned rock bottom might be right around the corner 😭 But yeah, I don't genuinely care how skinny Kincaid is. If he plays well, he can look like the 28 Years Later zombie & I'll be cool with it.

The "depth chart" on the Bills site says Shaq Thompson backs up Milano in the base defense. Does that mean he would play outside LB in the base nickel? I'd like to see how things would look with him and Milano out there in nickel, but if he don't have the dot maybe that's not possible.

No

That makes sense. I've been on the road the last two weeks and haven't had the chance to do much by way of detailed rewatch, but it felt to me from the bit I saw like there were more precision issues than usual. For example, two of Kincaid's catches on Thurs required full extension despite being easy throws, including the TD. Both Palmer and Shakir had to perform 360 moves going back for football vs Jets while moving in the opposite direction. We've seen some tough catches. 51% definitely felt low (as did the team drops number) but there was a reason I was looking in the first place.

Well .. if we're being factual about interceptions being fun. Nobody was more fun than Nate the Great Peterman. Talk about someone who should have retired at halftime.

Yes!!!

Alf sorta freaked me out when I was a kid.

And of course our 3 tech Oliver, who is graded #1 in pro football, sprained his ankle in practice. Hopefully he will be close to 100% when he returns, said return complicated by 2 games within 8 days of his injury.

Devon achane to backup cook. Cook on pace for too many carries. Would be electric

The Patriots won by 6 at Miami. We won by 10 at home against Miami. We killed the Jets. The Steelers squeaked by the Jets. Explain? The Pats beat the Dolphins by 6 in Miami. We beat the Dolphins at home by 10. Is there any difference there? We smoked the Jets. The Steelers squeaked by the Jets. Logic suggest, the Patriots are better than the Steelers. I agree with logic.
