Madden 2005-2007 was amazing...it all started going to crap when they royally screwed up the transition to ps3 and Xbox 360. That said, even those versions weren't that great actual simulations...they were fun though

The Bills were 5-2 (finished 6-10) in 2011.
The Bills were 5-1 (finished 7-9) in 2008.
Just goes to show there is are examples on both extremes. Past success/failure does not predict future outcomes.
It predicts it, just doesn't guarantee it

My only defense is maybe they wanted to huddle up for 90 seconds plus to discuss it and they were going to take a time out anyway, and this gave them more time than a time out would, and a chance to keep a free time out.

I think on that 4th and 1, it was likely an RPO and Allen misread the defenders call a banjo coverage at the last second... think he was expecting a man coverage, which I would think throwing was the right read...I haven't seen what the line was doing on that play, if they were run blocking for a QB draw, but my guess a qb run was the second or third read on that play.

Thanks! Luckily that site did the hard work, I just downloaded the csvs and played with Pandas DataFrames for about 20 minutes.
There's some packages in R that lets you do the scraping yourself (think it's still called nflscrapr, but there might be a newer version... not sure if they have something for python though.

This. It also has the added benefit of giving K. Allen. Reps against a decent defense so if he ever needs to fill in to finish a game for Josh if the Bills get to a comfortable lead and want to let Josh sit rest of a game. If K. Allen has more reps in practice might slow game down enough to be as capable bu qb for Josh.
Kyle Allen would be running the scout team offense in practice and I would imagine going to against the ones all the time anyway...

Cincinnati just builds a new stadium across the river. Problem solved.
Dolphins to Alabama: Saban can coach them again. Alabama F-150s
Jets go to Utah to keep Zach happy. Utah Cougars.
Chargers move to Connecticut. Still called the Chargers, but now they’re named after that plate that rich people put under their plate.
Jags to SD. Called the Dakota Frackers.
Utah Cougars, lol

Wow, didn't realize they were still playing together.
I thought Thile was still off running around with the Punch Brothers.
They did a tour this summer, but I'm pretty sure I saw Punch Brother videos on YouTube with Watchhouse (formerly mandolin orange) and I'm pretty sure them with Sierra Hull also... but maybe that wasn't from this year.
I'd never really listened to Nickle Creek before, but had listened to other stuff of theirs separately for sure...it was really good!
I saw Sierra Ferrell open for Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats in Raleigh a few weeks ago...I was literally third row center in the pit, she's so amazing! Nathaniel Rateliff was great too, but I've been wanting to see Sierra Ferrell for a few years now and that was amazing.

Haven't seen him play yet... I have been on hiatus from live music for a few years. Mostly because I'm trying hard to retire early so I can go see more live music and not have to worry about Monday's
But I've been tuning into him for a few yearsAdmirable reason! Yeah, I saw them three nights in a row in Raleigh basically, had two nights off and then saw Phish in Wilmington for two nights...was 5 shows in 7 or 8 days and then I saw Nickle Creek in Raleigh the night after I got back from Wilmington...I think it ended up being six shows in nine nights (nice), where I didn't have to drive more than 20-30 minutes for four of them and the other was a quick vacation to Wilmington, which is one of my favorite cities on a Tuesday and Wednesday so airbnbs were cheaper a bit...I’ve never had it line up so nicely before for such big acts, but I was absolutely sore af for a bit after that! Lol, took a week off work, when I got back, people asked what I did for my time off, I was like saw 5 concerts and I'm going to another one tonight (I worked just that Friday and then was off for the weekend)
Retiring and going around seeing live music though, that would be epic!

Billy Strings is fantastic.
So good! I saw him three nights in a row back in July when he played three nights in a row just outside of Raleigh at a venue 20 minutes from my house...freaking have been to hundreds of concerts in my life, that was up there in terms of some of the most amazing live music I've seen, but also just the convenience was insane.
They played that song I linked at one or the shows, and it's even better with Alex on the fiddle (that Red Rocks version was from a month or so before he joined the band)

Have they coached him to regress in his reading of defenses pre-snap? Because that is the bit that is most concerning to me dating back to last year. It looks like Josh's processing only begins once he has the ball in his hands. Go back a couple of years and I really thought he was becoming an elite processer. That is where a lot of these issues stem from. He isn't understanding what the defense is doing pre-snap well enough. The reason he isn't always getting to the open man post snap is because at the point the ball is snapped he doesn't already have an idea where the open man might be. The reason we keep running our backs into overloads is because he isn't processing well enough at the line. I'm not so worried about the physical. Okay he threw a bad pick, he missed a couple of throws... that can happen. I'm worried about the mental. And I don't know that Dorsey (or any OC frankly) can simplify the offense any more than it was on Sunday. The plays were there and they weren't plays where you needed superman Josh to make them.
So while I take the "they are coaching him not to run" point. The rest in terms of Allen's performance I'm not sure is on coaching. It's on Josh.
Have they started getting plays in later in the play clock from what you have seen, after the 15 second helmet cutoff?

Was there any footage of them talking before the game?

I have none. I know he's a talking head for one of the sports networks. Don't know which one. I don't listen to any of that stuff. I used to listen to some stuff on GR years ago but stopped that too.
There's way too much content today for more than a small fraction of it to be original or worth listening to or viewing. I prefer to do my own research, work, etc.
I'm so out of touch with sports media. Half the time I'll even turn the volume down on games and listen on GR even though the sound is significantly out of sync with the video.
Why are you asking?
It's more that he just says stuff that sounds kinda informed, but it's really just hot takes with no actual factual basis most of the time. Have you listened to truly informed football people giving their nuanced takes based on watching the all22 and their in depth knowledge of the team and nfl football at a scheme and strategic level or is this based on the broadcast or things other people are saying or calling in on their phones.
Don't listen to skip Bayless either, I'm not at all suggesting you do! And you fan however you want, I'm just suggesting this is likely a very complex and nuanced subject and there are a lot of answers claiming it is very simple... that's a red flag

Any new word on this yet? Just reading the Anthony Richardson news and how his x-rays were negative also.
All I'm saying is they better not trust allen if he says he's fine, he better be getting an MRI to be safe.

Did we stop them or did we get shredded?
To be fair, I think he's more talking about how this would have looked against the chiefs in the playoffs if they played like this.
I think he's missing the point that you're not likely beating the chiefs if you score 14 points

You're preaching to the choir. But criticizing the one that conducts our drafts is frowned upon here. LOL
What are your thoughts on Skip Bayless?

I wish we would have saved money on Miller to have been able to keep Floyd and AJE
Next season is Miller's last on that contract, it was basically a three year deal...I would think they can still keep AJE, more so I don't think Miller was ever going to be the contract that prevents AJE, but I'm more hoping someone who might know more detail on the cap could weigh in, cause that's not me.

The bigger missed call was not winding the clock on I think it was the third to last play...that was total bs

Why is there an exclamation point?

Wasn't there an episode of Coach where the team got food poisoning from eating bad chicken wings the night before the game?

Combination of a lot. Think they believed it was a wrap and switched off into reacting on those final 13 seconds. Either way, as it’s been said countless times by a multitude of people/experienced opinions, coaching should have put man coverage on their best two players with coverage bracketed inside. Force the harder throw outside. Can’t let them get off the line and up the field without some form of divert.
Right, and I guess my point is, what if the coaches called that and the players screwed it up

Interesting, because I'm taking something different away from that video...Josh Allen needs to play with better situational awareness and when they get within 10 yards of field goal range he needs to start taking check downs and higher percentage plays to get into field goal range...I don't know it's the coordinators fault there if he's calling pass plays with open short options that Allen is passing up to go for chunk plays when situational football says you should focus on getting into field goal range first and then hopefully get to take a shot if your first down play gets you 8 yards instead of the expected 4 yards...get under center at that point and do a play action if you want to take a shot or run because you're averaging almost 5 yards a carry when running under center...that last part is on Dorsey I guess, but Allen not hitting short options, which is the Bills version of a run game that's on Allen imo
