The view from the outside is that the Steelers are weak at corner and OL. If this is true, that is a bad combination to match up with the Bills.

If the defense plays better there will be less need to score late in games. Miami(1), LA Rams, LVR, Arizona, Seattle, etc. were games where the offense created big leads early and the defense gave up some 2nd half scores to close the gap. If the defense gets after the other offense more when leading by more than one possession the Bills offense can play more often in kill the clock mode.

The results of NFL preseason games have little meaning but.............the AFC is currently 32-8-1 vs, the NFC with Jax leading the Cowboys. Last year's regular season record was 35-28-1 in favor of the AFC. I did these numbers without benefit of writing anything on paper so I might be a little off but I think this might be a meaningful trend, That interconference record is going to tilt even more to the AFC this year.

I agree. Rookies, Vets or not they should get in a quick warm up.
Well, he did have two lost fumbles against the Jets in week 1.
I was thinking of that too. With QBs off limits to defensive player hits during training camp, ball security during the car wreck forces of NFL hits is impossible to simulate. On the other hand, Josh had two fumbles vs. the Jets in the 2019 opener as well. Not likely that a series or two in the last preseason game will remind him of what he needs to do to protect the ball while being hit.

This is boring! When I call you a moron, then you call me an a-hole and we eventually agree to fight at the home opener ... THEN it's an interesting discussion!
LOL. Ok. Maybe when the gout clears out of my feet. I posted this back thread but here is Bashem launching into Josh's helmet after the ball was out. Camera work is fuzzy, but this was a launch. Feet off the ground, legs parallel like Eddie the Eagle ski jumping. Near as I could tell there was not a fine.

Thanks for the quote. .................leaves both feet prior to contact.............The side of Smith's helmet did hit Smith's facemask after the initial impact. Yes, penalty. Launch no. Dirty no. But, different opinions make for a more interesting discussion.
1 minute ago, Jauronimo said:Agreed. That hit will draw a flag 11/10 times in this league but it was not targeting. You cannot go high on the QB. Smith needs to lower the target to somewhere around the waist. But not too low. You cannot go low on the QB either.
It happens often enough where the hit will be waist high and the impact and/or QBs' own movement will drive him backwards and the defender slides down toward the QB's knee area by the time they land. Penalty. Get used to them. We will see a bunch of them.

If you play/pause one more time, you'll see both feet off of the turf. This is a textbook picture of launching and leading with one's helmet - as well as hitting the opponent head-to-head.
The call was correct.
The league has been very actively trying to remove this exact type of hit from the game for years.
It was a good call on a dirty hit.
A launch would have both feet off the ground before impact and the legs parallel. This is running through the tackle. You do realize that it is normal for any runner to have both feet off the ground during their stride?

He launched.
He led with his helmet.
He hit him in the face with his helmet.
It was an absolutely filthy play and totally unnecessary - ESPECIALLY in a meaningless game.
Funny how people can see the same play but see it differently. Smith's right foot was in the turf and his face mask struck Fields"shoulder. Thus, not lanched and not hitting him in the face with his helmet. Notice Fields still looking at the defense at the moment of impact. But, get used to these calls. There will be way more of them with an improved pass rush. Just a violent, legal hit often looks like a penalty.

Wait until Allen gets hit like that and we will see this board go nuts
He was hit like that (worse imo) in game 1 by NYJ DE Bashem. The camera did not catch it too well and Josh completed the pass to Knox so it was not such a big deal, game effect wise. Josh had the ball out well before the hit.

My bad. I should have realized that the vast majority of us are conditioned to pay no attention at all to PSAs.

I saw this Tweet and came here expecting to see a Josh Allen Placed on COVID List! thread. People have no sympathy for Bills fans with weak hearts. This is a preemptive thread with a safe title.

If Phillips is just out for a few weeks I think he'll make the 53. Maybe inactive for a time and then used. He's been good in the two games, has fought through rehabbing both knees and spent time in the offseason working with the Bills training staff to reshape his body. He is a "trust the process" player and cutting him loose sends the wrong message to the rest of the team. I really hope it's minor and not a threat to roster or season status. From TBN.
"Phillips spent the majority of the 2021 offseason in Buffalo, something that Sean McDermott took note of. The head coach recently told reporters that Phillips was at the facility, “helping lead our football team,” throughout the offseason before suggesting that he expects the defensive tackle to take a leap in his second year back from his injury.
In the face of adversity – an ACL tear, a temporary fall down the depth chart, and a brutal postseason loss – Phillips has not only battled back to full health, but he’s also evolved into a leader, a role model who sets the standard for his teammates on and off the field."
I do not think Brandon/Sean gives up on this man unless he is unavailable for a longer stretch of time.

Yuck! Hopefully it’s nothing serious. He’s been good this preseason.
I wonder if he got hurt celebrating.

I hope we destroy Justin Fields. Although, I think our 3rd and 4th stringers won’t do it.
I think Sean wants to see his DL play a mobile QB.

88 degree day and Bills are physically dominant. Only player I saw sucking wind was Mackenzie because he was being used so much. Maybe related to the muffed punt.

Flacco is really, really bad. Throws a pick on 4th and 4 from the 50. Bad!
Better than an incompletion or sack.

He had Covid. He tested positive. Beane also told us one of the two (Dion or Ike) was unvacced. I wonder if it was Dion and he has had it worse than Ike and this is McDermott trying to send a message again. Might be reading too much into it but just a thought.
I was reading from the same script. That's the tone I'd expect Sean to use. Let's say Dion had more severe symptoms, lost some weight and is short of breath and fatigues easily. That would make him far from being ready. These guys do everything to make themselves available to play under all circumstances. If he had a tougher time with the virus and was vaccinated, I could see why Sean would be somewhat irked and refers to it as another teachable example.

Those flutter ducks in November are going to be hilariousSpeaking of Ducks, reading these posts I am reminded of the first time I saw Duck Hodges throwing live vs the Bills on the SNF broadcast. I immediately got extremely confident.

The worst part of the DOG penalty was that the ref stood over the ball until there was only :02 on the play clock. No one on the Bills said a word. I blame the center, who should have been in the refs face screaming: "I couldn't snap the *****in' ball because you were *****in' standing over it, you *****!!!!!" This caused yet another rule change for a "supervisory" official, because you always have to screw the Bills once and then change the rule. This supervisory official was also the jerk who screwed us over in the Houston playoff game, taking away our TD and calling it a touchback. NFL officiating is a joke, but the ***** up that cost us the Seahawks game was the worst.
Lots of people to blame. Referee will often automatically reset the play clock after the ball is marked ready for play, Or a player asks for the reset. I blame Rex for not knowing it was going on. Did not know the stuff about how the NFL responded.

Playoff football. I think Andy Reid who has had a lot more experience post season understood that better then the Bills. Remember the Bills-Washington Super Bowl, that was the reason why we lost, imo. They brutalized our receivers and we had no answer (except a penalty on Reed for losing his cool),
Yeah, he two hand slammed his helmet after a PI no call at the end of the 2nd quarter. Levy told one of them they had been bought as the headed to the half time locker room. The official said something about equal opportunity for the ball but Brad Edwards played right through Andre. It's at 1:31:02 of this video. I feel the need to enlighten the younger TBD members about the past.

I love the effort but may I suggest "aquatic" as this is an adjective that does apply to fish. "To make his name aquatic."

I think this contract sets him up to earn more over his career than Mahomes. So, the answer is yes.
TE Hollister Released
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted
Searching Hollister's name on Twitter, there seem to be some TE needy teams out there, some due to some recent injuries or trades. Fans connecting him to the Giants, Jets, Vikings, Seahawks, Jags. I think he may get a better offer than the wait in the parking lot offer he may have gotten from the Bills.
