    Some next day observations from my DVR

    This, I mean come on Allen's best runs are all off of scrambles/taking off when he doesn't see anything/sees an opening. Sure Allen's a big strong guy with some speed and he'll get you yards on those but I'd rather they use him as a QB.

    Respectfully disagree. Josh is an instinctively good runner, with good eyes for the hole(s) and the chains. Add in crazy good moves/wheels for a stallion, and tough to bring down (want a stiff arm, Kiko?) and we have a weapon that Daboll simply has to show, at least on occasion. Opposing DCs, DLs and LBs therefore must respect the possibility. Helps open things up for the rest of our ground game... imho, of course. 

     

    Josh is a brute and is  making SO much progress right now, on SO many different fronts; he’ll get better and better at avoiding those calamitous hits.

     

    These designed runs will likely play a role in whatever success comes our way over the next few years, and be part of his game until very late in his (HOF?) career. 

     

    Homer I am, through and through:-).

    I might add McKenzie. He makes one huge play a game. His acceleration on that catch to get to the 1 yard line was ridiculous 

    Damn, I’m fuzzy on that one and would love to see it again...

     

    YOLO you’ve got clips of the others, howzabout this one too, please?!  ...or someone else??

     

    McKenzie is a huge/small part of our team. Anyone else notice the shot with him walking off the field next to Lee Smith????  Looked like me with my 12 yo son...

    Revisiting Beane's most subtly brilliant move as GM

     Good post, 0P. After yesterday‘s game, I am most eager to see an analysis of how the OL actually accomplished what they did on our final drive; OMG I thought I was watching the Pats’* drive against us last year in the mirror. 

     

    I heard Feliciano slid to C for Morse earlier, but who was where at the end and how’d they do individually (obviously including Bates)?   More importantly, do we have a chance of replicating that performance going forward?  Yowza...

     

    oh btw, Eli Harold didn’t make the Eagles’ cut to 53, and remains a FA. ?

    PanchoBilla enters Hospice (Has now passed away)

    I’m amazed that this board hasn’t exploded this go fund me campaign. 

     

    $45K in 16 months?

     

    am I missing something here?  

     

    A few days ago when I saw that he was going into hospice, I dug up the  link from the first page, and donated my pittance.  Kind of did it in a hurry, and didn’t really look at the numbers, just assumed that this would be at least the equivalent of the Andy Dalton charity thing, or perhaps an even bigger blockbuster. Checked back today to see how he’s doing, and then thought of checking out the fund more carefully...and was a little disappointed, I guess.

    Do it. Be bold. Remember the move to get Biscuit? How did that work?

    I am totally sure there are folks here that can make the comparison from this discussion to that draft off the top of their heads; I cannot. I’d guess that Polian had Bennett pegged as a perfect fit for a need, with no other player close. 

     

    I can say, however, that 

     

    1. I think Beane would rather all of us ravish his wife than give up next year’s one. He wouldn’t/didn’t  do it for Josh, why ever now?

     

    2. Q. Williams seems great, OK, but Beano’s not housed at a party thinking he’s gonna’ go all in for the most luscious cheerleader, he’s a sane professional that is fully (if not anally) aware of price tags, and BULLY FOR US!!!

     

    3. Coach Clap is on record as wanting QB pressure from inside, which, to a degree, mitigates the Neanderthal Defensive Coach label for him. We also were absolutely gouged on the ground  by our immediate hurdle (Patriots). So we need both run-stuff AND inside pressure, but on our budget. 

     

    To me that spells DEXTER LAWRENCE 

     

    He swallows up RBs like they’re PooPoos on a platter, he tracks sideline runs like a snake, he’s got eyes for blocked kicks/passes. 

     

    I don’t care whether BB sits at 9, or trades up or down, so long as he gets the defensive line help, along with a TE, AND keeps next year’s first. 

     

     

    Have you ever called into WGR or a Bills/Sabres Post Game Show?

     Somewhere around 15 or 16 years ago, I did a sales trip through Buffalo up to Toronto and surrounds. After I reentered,  I made a stop to retrieve a bag of smoke that I had stashed under the bleachers at Amherst High on my way through. Rolled a fatty, got on the Thruway headed home. Happily listening to WGR chat where the subject was what to change the stadium name to, instead of Rich, I believe. 

     

     On a semi-stoned whim, I called in, and went on air almost immediately??!   Briefly explained that any city that welcomed their team home from the wide right Super Bowl loss with thousands of people on the tarmac, and then thousands more the next day at City Hall, carrying Scotty around on their shoulders and chanting his name, should logically name the stadium for Nicole Brown Simpson. 

     

    They hung up instantly, followed by a total silence and then immediately changed the subject. 

     

    It was amusing to me, anyway...

    Didn’t mean to apply “exhilarating” to your posting prowess, just a touch of brain scramble. Apologies for sounding over the top. 

     

    Never seen a film breakdown with that level of detail from any player, much less the actual QB; and the latest stop-action / highlight tech, too. That was the fun part. So much more interesting than an All22 with a commentator trying to guess what the play call was.

    Yolo, your previous posting prowess notwithstanding, this sequence is the proof of your pudding. The patience and civility in combination with your obvious rabidness is nothing short of exhilarating. 

     

    This video was the most informative and riveting thing I’ve seen here lately . I simply can’t wait to see the same sort of thing with Mark Kelso sidling up to Josh17 after we win the AFCEast next year...

     

    yes, I had to dig out my password to log in, don’t often post, but felt compelled to comment...

    I don't think we need a slot guy. I'd rather activate Dez Lewis and go with Sammy, Woods, Hogan, Easely, Lewis. Also line up Clay at WR some and use McCoy a lot in passing game. Go with some 2 TE sets with Clay and Gragg.

     

    ^ this. I'm curious whether we see more 2 TE stuff in the next two weeks... KW's gushing about the OL's performance was "kind words" at this point. Win the trenches the next 2 and I'm a believer.

     

    I must have missed the memo; do we now have a roster spot open 'cuz of Percy?

     

    I hope the Rams did sign WW.

    Sal Capaccio's Quarter Pole Breakdown of the 2015 Bills

    "When the schedule was released in April, I thought going 2-1 through the first three games would be a challenge, but doable for a talented Bills team. They did that. But the loss to the Giants in week four raises questions about exactly how good this team is. It’s tough for any team to lose their top running back and top wide receiver, but especially when those two players are big playmakers able to change games at any given moment. I still think the depth is solid with this roster and they can make a serious run at a playoff spot, even if Watkins and/or McCoy are out a few weeks. " quote from Sal's 'big picture'.

     

    Having just seen the AP post about Shady missing "the next three games", it prompted me to have a look at the remaining 12 games in groups of three.

     

    10/11 @ Tennessee Titans

    10/18 CINCINNATI BENGALS

    10/25 @ Jacksonville Jaguars

     

    If we're a playoff bound team, we go at least 2-1, probably W's at Tenn and JAX. Then we get Shady back, ready to romp, for division foes:

     

    11/08 MIAMI DOLPHINS

    11/12 @ New York Jets

    11/23 @ New England Patriots

     

    Again, 2-1 seems plausible. Next three might be tougher with two away games:

     

    11/29 @ Kansas City Chiefs

    12/6 HOUSTON TEXANS

    12/13 @ Philadelphia Eagles

     

    but if we're a playoff bound team, we somehow manage 2-1. This gets us to 8-5. You see where I'm going with this, so for the last three games if they can pull off 2-1, we're at 10-6 with a strong division record, and hopefully strong enough tiebreakers with rivals so we get a WC berth:

     

    12/20 @ Washington Redskins

    12/27 DALLAS COWBOYS

    01/03 NEW YORK JETS

     

    10-6. This is my hopeful, plausible scenario. Needless to say, I'd be thrilled to see them go 2 of 3 for the rest of the season.

    It helps that Gladiator is my third favorite movie of all time, but seriously...how much more appropos could this clip be for this game, this crowd, this tomorrow?

     

    Go Bills, let's win our freedom from the Mr. Bundchen curse....now, please!

    Karlos Williams officially #2 RB, earned in training camp

    I could be wrong, but I think the responsibility for picking up blitzers may fall more on the TE and FB in Roman's 2 TE/2 back sets. Roman is known for using 2 TE and a FB

     

    Kind of a nice article about it here

    Thanks for that link to the Robert Quinn piece; for this non-player it was one of the most helpful / insightful X's and O's discussions I've ever seen. But it really didn't contain anything on blitz pickups, did it? Any of you experts care to weigh in on whether Hopeful (classic moniker, btw) is correct on this? Seems relevant to the discussion of Karlos...and for that matter, Shady, too.
