    Curious what the board thinks. He has not gotten the sacks or even many negative plays. But when I watch him, he is still very disruptive, wins many of his one on one situations, maintains containment reasonably well, and is holding his own against the run. Overall I think he is still playing at a high level and with Lawson playing opposite him more as of late, the D-line has been more dominant. 

    Thoughts?

    Considering he is held almost every play he rushes the QB I think he is doing great.  If he would get a holding call once a season or so then he would be much more effective.

    NFL NextGen Stats provided the numbers

    that show the Ravens rank 31st out of 32 NFL teams when it comes to stopping runners outside of the tackles. When opponents avoid Baltimore’s big run-stuffers like Brandon Williams and Michel Pierce, they often find success testing the Ravens’ thin group of outside linebackers.

    Robert Saleh, 2 Pats assistants among young coaches to watch

    By Tom Pelissero

    NFL.com reporter

     

    Who is this year's Sean McVay -- the young, up-and-coming coach who may get an NFL head job sooner than later?

     

    This is the third year I've asked the question, and six names from the previous lists have been hired, including Matt LaFleur, Brian Flores and Zac Taylor in the most recent cycle. As I note every year, McVay -- a 30-year-old with three years of experience as a coordinator when the Rams hired him in January 2017 -- is a rare guy, and pretty much nobody has comparable experience at such a young age. Winless starts amidst intentional (Dolphins) and not-so-intentional (Bengals) rebuilds have some plugged-in people predicting a shift away from the wunderkind hiring trend. But McVay is coming off a Super Bowl appearance, and LaFleur's age certainly isn't stopping him from early success in Green Bay, so you can bet some NFL teams will once again look past the length of resume (or lack thereof) if they feel they have a shot to land the next superstar head coach.

     

    The criteria here remains the same as past years: the age cutoff is in the early 40s, and the person can't have been a full-time NFL head coach before. Here's a short list of names to remember, based on dozens of recent conversations with NFL executives, coaches, players and others close to the search process:

    New faces for this year's list

    49ers DC Robert Saleh

     

    Colts OC Nick Sirianni

     

    Vikings OC Kevin Stefanski

     

    Baylor coach Matt Rhule and Iowa State coach Matt Campbell

     

    Bills OC Brian Daboll: If the Bills stay hot, it wouldn't be a surprise to see interest in Daboll, 44, who has a big fan in young QB Josh Allen. He's a likeable guy with offensive chops and an impressive pedigree that includes five Super Bowl wins over two stints as a Patriots assistant and a national title on Nick Saban's staff at Alabama.

     

    Patriots ST/WR coach Joe Judge and ILB coach Jerod Mayo

    ...

     

    Interesting to see Daboll mentioned, once again, as a head coaching candidate. It would be strange considering the Bills have not had that good of an offense this year and is winning mainly on defensive dominance and occasional Josh Allen heroics. I think if Daboll really will be considered for head coaching jobs, he'd have to kick this offense into a much higher gear going forward.

    Why is Greg Roman not on this list with what his high powered offense accomplished this year?

    Rudolph pulled his helmet off after a very soft tackle in which Garrett clearly didn’t know he had gotten rid of the ball.  Nothing wrong with the tackle at all.  If it hadn’t been for the helmet swing Rudolph would have been the one way more in the wrong.  A travesty that he gets off without punishment.

    Brady gets the flag on that tackle by Garrett.  Rudolph deserved the flag for that tackle as well.  Had the flag been thrown this may have been de-escalated

    I just looked at SPOTRAC for Hughes contract: $14 MIL this year?  I am reading this correctly?

     

    https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/jerry-hughes-6540/

     

    WHY are the Bills paying Jerry Hughes $14 mil this year?!?  He's basically invisible that I can tell.

     

     

    • 1. Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald: $22.5 million
    • 2. Cowboys defensive lineman Demarcus Lawrence: $21 million
    • 3. Chiefs defensive lineman Frank Clark: $20.8 million
    • 4. Lions defensive lineman Trey Flowers: $18 million
    • 5. Saints defensive lineman Cameron Jordan: $17.5 million  
    • 6. 49ers defensive lineman Dee Ford: $17 million 
    • 7. Browns defensive lineman Olivier Vernon: $17 million    
    • 8. Eagles defensive lineman Fletcher Cox: $17 million
    • 9. Falcons defensive lineman Grady Jarrett: $17 million
    • 10. Texans defensive lineman J.J. Watt: $16.7 million

     

    He may be the most overpaid D lineman in the league?

     

     

     

    Simple he receives $1 per every pass rush that he is held by the OL this year.   How many holding calls have gone his way?   0

    Amendola used to kill us with those catches on 3rd down late in the game

    2013 Season Opener comes to mind.   EJ had Pats down 21-20   3-8 with 1.20 on the clock he makes a 10yd catch..    2015 week 2 Bills Down 37-32 and momentum he makes a 29 yd catch over A Williams.. I was at both games and he killed us both games

    So I remember during one of the superbowls a video snippet of practice was used during a TV interview and then Dallas used that to read the play.

     

    now this week there’s a video showing Josh practicing a speed option play but we have not use this year. Does anybody in the organization look at things like this try and prevent it from coming out?

    The Kelly to Thurman shovel pass was terrible I don't think it ever gained yards anywhere.  In the Superbowl they only ran it 3 times I think.    Re-watched Super Bowl XXVIII the other night and never really remembered how much the Bills really controlled the first half of that game.  I recall watching it waiting for them to screw something up.   Hence came the 3rd Qtr

    The Colts were even better at it last night against the Chiefs than the Bills.   The Colts were downright masterful running the ball.  

    This right here.. We should take a page out of Franks book moving forward.   Running the ball in the 2nd half took the powerful Cheifs offense off the field.   Felt like a throw back to the mid 90's with the game plan.  I for one loved it.

  9. It's all about the internet speed.  I have a Roku TV (TCL) and I have 200mbs download internet, however I stream at about 26 mbps  due to my router is far from my set... Great picture and never freezes.  If you have a 60 mbs pipe with internet service, if you are using wireless then move your router or buy an extender and put it closer to your TV.. You will see the difference.

    He was a cancer BEFORE that.

     

    Look it up.

     

    All I know is watch the Miami playoff Game.. he was not the problem and should have won that game.   Fumbles by Molds and Reed and the Reed ref (no touchdown call) really hurt the team.  But Doug had a great game but all anyone will remember on this board is that he held on to the ball 1 sec too long when Thurman missed a block on Trace Armstrong.

    The holding call stunk. 

    HOWEVER...

    Football is and always has been an imperfect game. It is subject to human error by the officials, whose jobs are much harder than they appear to us who get to watch the game from our couch in super slo-mo HD. The refs pretty much "let 'em play" all night long on Sunday, for better or worse. The play you mentioned was one exception.

    The bad holding call didn't cause Goff to throw too late to a wide open Cooks, negating a touchdown. The bad holding call didn't force the Rams to come out in base defensive personnel on four straight plays against the Pats empty sets, leading to an easy Pats touchdown drive. The bad holding call didn't cause Wade Phillips to choose not to double cover Julian PEDelman on numerous critical 3rd downs. Even DIRECTLY after that holding call, on 2nd and 22, the instant replay showed that Robert Woods got WIDE open for first down yardage on a deep square in. Goff missed him and chucked it deep to the well-covered flanker instead. I could go on and on.

    The bottom line is that blaming the entire outcome of the game on one bad offensive holding call -- when the Rams had NUMEROUS opportunities to win that game, needing only to score TWO touchdowns in four quarters -- is bogus. The Pats earned the win, the Rams earned the loss. 

    I watched the replay of Browns / Bills 1989 Div Playoff game on youtube.  That was the best era of football.  Good solid tackling, no ref interference and very very few holding calls.  As a matter of fact watching the line play on both team you would see solid blocking across the line, no zone schemes just head up beat me if you can.  The rules of the game in 1989 were simple to follow.  A catch was a catch a hard hit was a hard hit ( no such thing as targeting) defense would try to separate you from the ball.  There was one missed call an interception that was called a down ball, but other than that it was the way football was meant to be played.  Game sucks today.. too many variables on all plays...
