Well, you know what they say. With the game on the line let's go to the area of the field where we have been the least successful at attacking this year.

It will be more than 11m. Josh Jacobs makes 12. Alvin Kamara turns 30 in a month and he makes 12.5. The only reasons Derrick Henry is only making 15m are that he'll be 32 years old in the Playoffs this season and has had recurring foot problems. Otherwise he'd be making closer to the 21m Saquon Barkley makes. And that's not taking into account the yearly rise in salary cap that resuts in the yearly rise in salary's. I assure you, James Cook whether it's here or elsewhere, will not be signing for 11m per.

I know why you are remembering him but it wasn't for his play. He was great at carrying his lunch pail.

I'm pretty sure you're joking cus Buffalo Springfield is from California

Yes. That is correct. And that is what you should do IF there is not a WR wide open in the endzone. Had Shakir not been open, I would agree with you - hit Diggs. Or scramble. But Shakir WAS open. And you take the TD when you have a WR open. Just because a certain scheme is meant to take something away, doesnt mean it works every play. One would only feel that way if they don't understand what I am writing.

It’s not really trying to twist your words. Isn’t the point of Cover 2 making those throws low probability? By having an extra deep defender, who maybe makes the offense hold the ball a second or two late on a throw, in time for the pass rush to get home? Isn’t the best way to strategically beat Cover 2 to be methodical and take open checkdowns aka what the defense gives you? I feel like you really argued against yourself here, strategically and statistically. Offense was a second a late, pass rush got home, incomplete.

Me too. You don’t even have to care what channel it’s on.

No doubt. But in my original post I was talking about the Bills on the road scouts which was the subject of the thread and while clearly they have a role on day 1 and 2 picks where you really differentiate how good a team's road scouts are compared to the rest of the NFL is day 3 and UDFAs. I have been pretty vocal on the personnel staff needing to do a better job finding stars.

I don’t pay to watch games, they are offered for free with great regularity through various legitimate providers, and at your favorite watering holes, 😁👍🍸🚬 why TF would anyone pay?

Nice try. But twisting words wont work here. As a general rule, yes, throwing deep middle seams against Cover 2 is tough. But that is because the defense is designed to stop it. However, if the defense messes up, YOU TAKE IT. Just like, as a general rule, running against a stacked box is difficult. But what if 2 defenders fall down? Should the running back NOT take that hole and go for it? Of of course they should. The Chiefs lost Shakir. It was a touchdown had Allen not been hit.

“IF” the chances of two straight 16TD seasons is not real good, James knows this, the Bills know this, imo, I think a deal around 11 million for x years, blah blah blah, is what this will end up being,

Is he going to bring Hackett and Lizard with him?

So basically what you are saying is because of the way defenses play us, throwing a 40 yard ball to a slot WR is a low percentage play?

I refuse to entertain your trolling. You know what I and others are saying and you are purposefully attempting to twist it. You read what Simon said. You also read what I have said (unless your responding without actually reading which is worse). Yet instead of responding to what we write, you simply regurgitate the same point without any additional nuance or clarification. I don't know why you are acting like this, because in general you haven't done this. But today, you are trolling for some reason. Its bad enough when our own fans do it, but downright miserable when a Chiefs fan does it. Its not interesting and I can only assume that if you keep it up, sooner or later, you will be tossed.

Just a feeling, but a strong one. I think this past week was the beginning of the end for Putin. Highly publicized destruction of a significant amount of his strategic air assets, which the Russian people saw. Underwater droning an important bridge. Oil revenue greatly decreased. 27% inflation. 600,000 or so dead or significantly injured while in the years of this war they hold an area about the size of LA County in Ukraine. The same as 89. The economy will bring him down, and once started, it may happen quickly. Just my view, but the economic and military momentum and vector is horrible for them.

Oh I’m aware the top guys make those picks in rounds 1 and 2. It’s concerning that we keep hitting singles and doubles from those guys. Need more from them

My wife was recently informed that her position was eliminated as part of a reorganization. That sounds like a bad thing, but it’s a GREAT thing! She was “eligible” to retire in about 13 months. She would have worked much longer if she was enjoying it, but that was not the case. It was hell on earth. So, they offered her a package paying her NOT to work most of that time. It’s not just about the money. They say if you throw a frog into a pot of boiling water it will jump right out, but it you put it in water and slowly turn up the heat they will cook to death. That is what was happening to her. It’s happening all over corporate America. SO…… the great part is having my wife back. We are going to a show tonight and doing things we haven’t done in years. It’s so great to have her back relaxed and tension free. It’s a whole new life for both of us.

I don't have a good answer for you as I'll let the smarter people who knows proper mechanics explain it but I know that year he was dealing with that elbow injury.

No. Which is why you see the same exact thing in other great offenses. Read below... Nothing to do with personnel - its how defenses are playing us and other good offenses. After the 2020 season, defenses across the league began playing more and more Cover 2 against great offenses like the Bills and Chiefs. The goal was to take away the deep passes and intermediate crossers (Daboll loved these). The goal was to force offenses to go on methodical drives. Because Cover 2 takes away the deep pass (especially the middle intermediate where the 2 safeties have converging zones), great offenses barely ever throw there anymore. This means that most of the intermediate/deep middle throws are throwaways and improbable heaves. But if you dont know the context behind the stats, its easy to be confused. For example, Doc Brown (because he doesn't know any better) thought this was an Allen issue. It's not. Its just how teams are playing great offenses. Example: Here is Mahomes throwing to the middle of the field. 11.3 rating. And here is Hurts with a 8.3 rating. And here is Goff And here is Allen So... yeah. The deep middle argument is nonsense. But if you don't know the context of the stats you're seeing, you may think its something wrong with Josh. it's not.

So your position is that Allen couldn’t have thrown the quick crosser to a wide open Diggs because he needed to throw it deep to Shakir, but he couldn’t throw it deep to Shakir because he didn’t have the protection. Basically all the team needs to do is get a guy open short and a guy open deep and give Allen 5 seconds to throw, and the play will be successful. Buffalo should figure out how to do that and then just spam that play over and over.

First off no one’s saying the throw to Shakir was wrong. Second, you chimed in on a post I made correcting someone else (and eventually you too) that Shakir had something fault, which he did not. Ball was on the air before Shakir was ever even near a defender. Allen getting his foot stepped on is the reason it didn’t work. And that’s because Dion lost a rep to one of the best DE’s in football. BUT - Allen had space and room to do something about it too and didn’t. It’s right there on tape. So he has some responsibility in the result too even though the bulk of the impact came from Dion losing a rep to another elite player.

Can't wait to see the math you provide back that up.

I’m made of money. Bring it.
