JESSEFEFFER

For more context for the younger members here: Rocketship_7 I was more of a Commander Tom kid. Mattie the Mod would be a good name for some.

My first name is Jeff. Growing up my mom often called me Jesse. I had a favorite uncle who was a WWII vet that fought in Italy. He handled mules that carried ammunition packs to the frontlines. He died in 2009 with some shrapnel still in his body that surgeons decided not to remove. He was farmed out as a boy, spent time in the CCC during the Depression and spent most of his working career as carpenter. For some reason he took Jesse and started calling me Jessefeffer. I figured he earned the right to call me anything he wanted and every time that I see it, I think of him. Thanks OP for giving me a reason post about him!

They should really be aggressive with that during the Bills bye week. Good weather, discounted prices and big MAC contest, they could boost attendance to rarely seen levels.

I went to see them play Miami of Ohio a few weeks ago. I was surprised at the $32 ticket price given my past experience and taking my entire family would have been a no go. The stadium was only half filled in the lower level on the visitor's side and the upper decks and end zone were much less filled. On the other hand, the weather is supposed to be in the mid 60's and sunny which is near perfect.

In recognition of the the good fortune we have that Josh Allen is the QB we get to watch for his entire career............... Ok. I think it's officially over. What's over? Deez Nuts over your head!!!

He actually attempted a hurdle vs the Titans last year and was met in air by a defender who made a great play It was the play just before the 4th and 1 play where Jeffrey Simmons beat Dawkins and stuffed Josh on the sneak. Although that may have been more of an airborne dive.

Direction of the shadows and high pitch says that Isaiah was looking into the direct sun.

OK. I saw a Twitter video of Josh's folks leading a Karaoke version of "Sweet Caroline" at a pregame gathering. More confirmation that Joel can sing! Yes, moms and dads can be cool. Anyways the camera panned the crowd and I saw John Fina blending in to the scene. Thus, Taps on Main is/was the place yesterday and maybe today too depending on KC laws. Looks like a good time had by all.

Looked him up. Lost his dad to COVID a year ago. Has Offers from Marshall, Virginia and Maryland as of February. Wants to study engineering and looks to aim higher with visits to ND, Penn State planned.

It's a story within the context of how the game is played. Over it's history, Highmark/New Era/The Ralph/Rich Stadium must be one of the toughest places to kick/throw/catch the ball in the entire NFL. In the last game we saw 2 botched kick returns, a misplayed punt return, a blocked kick into the wind and two Chris Boswell missed FGs.

Josh mentioned being hit in the chin. We (I?) never saw a camera angle from the other side of the play. So, that may be a difference. They will have to treat these calls like the NCAA treats targeting. They need the option to review them because they are often game changers.

So much subjectivity to these things but throws that are made when one or more free pass rushers are bearing down on him deserve an extra bit of appreciation. Some QBs will turtle before the hit is made, some back pedal (it hurts less) but fail to put enough on the throw (ex. Lamar 8 days ago) or maybe the bravest will stand there and take the hit to make a play. Josh steps into the hit as he slides forward to deliver a good throw. Not many do that.

Tom Brady Gets Call--Say It Isn't So Noteworthy to me is how important it was in the outcome, Jerome Bogar made the call and the technique used is perfect. In order to avoid the landing on the QB with full body weight, defenders are taught to "gator roll." Wrap the QB and roll so as to land to the side of the QB and not on top of him. This rolling maneuver does result in a spiraling to the ground effect as a natural result of the rotation. I guess Bogar wants the defender to rotate just enough so that the QB, or maybe just Brady, will land on top of the defender and thereby have a softer landing.

Looked to me like AJ was hauled down by his facemask on an inside pass rush move. The OL proceeded to fall on top him. AJ was jawing with Hussey thereafter about the no call. The back and forth was such that AJ probably did not like the man putting his hands on him as he was leaving the scrum. You may be right about the ref getting after AJ with some intent to provoke a reaction.

If a punch at the ball lands from top down, there is a good chance it is coming out. I did not notice this until the video posted above. One of the Ravens' defenders puts his hands to his helmet and I assumed it was because the tackle was even made. Maybe he saw how close it was to the ball coming out.

I went to this one for the first time in many years. Cole was drilling the out the breaking routes for completions on a windy day but not so much to the other areas of the field. Radio announcer in postgame said the fumble was a bad ruling since it was an obvious forward pitch attempt and to me it seemed he was crushed during a deep ball atempt that made it come up short and get picked. Receivers Marshall and Williams look like they will tear MAC secondaries apart. Dolac was all over the place and stood out to me more than Patterson. You do not get very many quality replays on the scoreboard so it's likely that viewers of the game on ESPN+ or U got much better views to form opinions.

Cover with the free hand when under tackle especially with a wet ball.. Bad, bad, bad.

Random flight path of tipped ball impossible to read.

Ball was tucked, move completed.

The NFL makes many policies that are intended to keep a competitive balance between teams. On OBL it was stated that the Bills could have only used those Cool Zone misting systems if Miami had chosen to use them first. Sort of the situation where if one team loses communication to the field the other has to shut it down too. But if the ambient temperature is 90 on one side and 115 on the other, how is that maintaining a competitive balance? I would think the NFLPA would weigh in.

I do not think they would overrule the call because they are inclined not to but Gabe had two feet down, brought the ball to his chest with both hands, took his right hand off the ball in a stiff arm sort of move, and kept the ball tucked to his chest with his left hand until the defender chopped it out. The secured, tucked position is enough to complete the process of the catch as I highlighted in the section of the rule that you posted. I heard some talk of the third step but it is just one example of the an "act common to the game." The officials "wanting to see a third step" was mentioned in the Monday night game.

There is no quantitative time component to completing the process. Two steps with the ball and the ball is tucked to the chest when the defender makes the play on it. I would like to see the complete play from more angles but the steps and the tuck should be all is needed. I would like to hear an official breakdown but I agree the challenge is likely not to go their way.

Not a drop if defender chopped it out. Gabe did enough, two steps, tucked to his chest and TD. Defender's action came after TD criteria was met and was therefore irrelevant.

Watching Coach Dorsey go into a tantrum meant I didn't feel the need to do so. He did it better and with more violence than I could.

How often does he who whiffed on the block recover the fumble.
