I think this is a valid concern. I was watching the game with my brother last night and multiple times I was telling him that we seem to struggle (relatively speaking) on short yardage situations. When the game was opened up the offense dominated but once the yards to go for first down went below 2 yards the offense seemed to tighten up. I do think it is an area that the offense should look to address with these practices, there is no reason why this team shouldn't be as dominant with short yardage as other situations.

Injury report gonna look ugly this week. Hopefully we get Settle, Oliver and Gabe back this weekend.

If memory serves me correctly, GB was annihilated week 1 last year.

I suspect they will typically play Miller between 50-60% of the snaps. The important seasonal games 55-65% and once we get to the playoffs 60-75% of the snaps.

He’s conscience of his previous “Josh is trash” comment he made years back. Now he knows what’s up with Josh.

That first tweet (the run fake on 3rd and 1) was probably my favorite play call of the game, and it was perfectly executed by the offense.
After that play call I had the same reaction as Baldinger. I was like, ok I’m not worried about Dorsey. He’s for real.
The Bills ran this play twice last year, once with Gabe and the other time with Knox and they both went for TD’s.8 hours ago, Big Turk said:They ran that play and scored on it multiple times while Daboll was here. Pretty sure that's one Dorsey borrowed.

A lot of money for a guy who has never caught more than 49 passes in a season.
This will pay him close to $300,000 per reception (based on last season).
So basically right in line with Tyreek Hills $ amount per reception.

I like Hamlin too but the staff have a lot of faith in Jaquan. He is their kind of football player. Hamlin is more physically talented, of that there is little doubt, but Jaquan is smart, knows where to be, does his one 11th and is a good communicator. And he has an NFL start under his belt from last year. That is why I think he has still been the first guy in through camp.
Jaquan is a baller. Anytime he has been given an opportunity he has made the most of it. The depth at safety is high quality. -

We haven’t heard much about AJ? I heard that he had a sack in 4 straight practices and has looked pretty good
He was crushing it early on last year as well and then sort of petered out after week one. Hopefully this year he can make that leap.

Honest question. Why is Shakir destined to be a slot WR? He is 6'0" and I just watched his Boise St highlights. He lined up outside in most of them. Seems to me with Crowder, McKenzie, and Austin ( my top 3) he has little chance to play slot. Yet he might get some reps backing up Davis (just like Davis did last year with Sanders).
He’ll line up both boundary and slot. His versatility will be a plus for the team. -
Joe Haden is exactly the sort of vet that the Bills covet. Plenty of experience, won't be expensive and could provide just the sort of depth and stop-gap solution the team very likely could use.
I also think the Bills will look for a veteran boundary WR as well.

The Carolina QB room should be pretty interesting.

Interesting. Kaep's tryout sucks, so everyone gets to say "I told you so", and the NFL gets to say "We gave him a chance". Just ignore the fact that we blackballed him the last 5 years, nothing to see there, while Nathan Peterman was a rostered QB for 4 of those years. Weird.
The issue wasn't that he didn't have the quality to be on an NFL roster, it was that his quality of play did not warrant all the baggage that was going to come along with him being on the team.
For a owners he could be a PR nightmare, for management and coaches he could become a distraction and for the potential level of headache that he could cause and the fact that he was a backup level QB, it just didn't make sense. Simply put, there was not enough juice for the squeeze.

They are all definitely on the hot seat.
I would suspect that Epenesa and Moss are in safer ground than Ford but any of the three could get axed if a combination of either them not showing growth and/or the competition for their positional battles ascend.
Either way the depth on this team has increased in all three of those areas Oline, Dline and Rb and that is a good thing.

A pressure is defined as getting 1.5 yards of the QB within 2.5 seconds of the snap. Nice try tho.
What sort of stats are these?
And Cincinnati was rushing with 3 much of the second half and dropping back an additional defender.
QuoteThe Bengals used a three-man rush to somehow flummox Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.
The Bengals rushed three down linemen on 12 passing plays in the second half and overtime. Four of those plays resulted in sacks (all four in the 4th quarter), and another resulted in the overtime interception.
Bills pass rush was not championship caliber
QuoteYet the Bills didn’t move him off his spot in the pocket enough and didn’t finish good rushes the few times they had him in their sights.
Mahomes was sacked just once and hit just twice in the Chiefs’ 38-24 victory over the Bills.
You are asking everyone to not trust their lying eyes and go with some cherry picked stat. Bottom line is that it was pretty much universally accepted that the pass rush was inadequate against Mahomes, he was sacked once and hit just twice. He had tons of time against a 4 man pass rush and when there was a rusher it was easy for him to evade.
This is a weird hill for you or anyone to die on, pretty much everyone knows that the pass rush that day stunk.
The point is that the offense was miles ahead of the defense on that day and when the Bills lost last year, most of the time it was because the defense couldn't close out the game.
Selecting a 1st round DB and adding Von Miller addresses what were our biggest weaknesses that prevented us from getting to the SuperBowl.

The Bills had Mahomes running for his life all game. He just kept making crazy plays and/or dumping it off and watching Hill and McKinnon and Hardman get a ton of YAC.
You guys are mistaking that for good pressure. Mahomes had plenty of time to throw, obviously after 3-4 seconds then the pressure was coming in.
It wasn't as if the Bills were getting immediate pressure, the reason why he was "running for his life" was because of the time he was afforded and he just stood back there looking for options and eventually the pressure was coming in.

Seems as if there seems to be some amnesia as to why the Bills didn't advance into the AFC Championship game.
Aside from the coaching gaffe
- The Bills couldn't get after the QB
- The Bills couldn't cover their receivers
That was addressed this offseason in a major way.
With that said, the offensive line on paper is slightly better and so is the backfield, tight ends with the WR's essentially being a push.
Get one more veteran depth CB and boundary WR and the team is set.

The Bills are fine at the WR spot, but they are one boundary WR away from risking that away.
Diggs and Gabe Davis are going to be a high caliber starting outside boundary duo, but depth at that spot is shaky. They just need to bring in a veteran who can play the role if one of the two go down. In regards to the receiving options from the backfield, TE's and slots with the addition of OJ, Shakir, Crowder and Cook, there is a huge upgrade at those spots. Overall, the Bills lose one quality depth boundary WR and gain many other options at the other receiving positions. Net net, it's clear that the team has improved on the receiving front, at least on paper.
For me to feel a little more comfortable, the Bills would need to add one more veteran boundary WR. With that the Bills are set for the season.

Somehow missed this article during the regular season. Anonymous front office execs were polled by ESPN about the most analytically-minded franchises and Buffalo ranked as the 3rd highest level of analytical work product. Dennis Lock, the Bills’ Director of Football Research and Strategy, got a call-out as someone who might get a big front office job some day.
Thought this was really interesting considering Beane and Schoen basically built the analytics program from scratch when they got here. And it’s a reason Schoen was such an attractive GM candidate for a team like the Giants after their Stone Age approach to team-building under Gettleman.
Anyhow, apologies if this was posted back in the fall, if so I just missed it and thought it was worth a thread given Schoen’s departure.
Yep, I remember reading this when the Bills were going to be embarking upon their new analytics program and how it was being built from the ground up. Glad to see that it has been paying off for us, yet another feather in the cap for Beane/McDermott and what they have built for this Bills franchise.

Poyer and Hyde couldn't keep up with the speed of Kelce and Hill
No safety keeps up with Tyreek Hill and Kelce just knows how to exploit coverages.

Either the franchises and agents know something about the size of the cap substantially increasing in the coming two years or these ridiculous new contracts for the receivers we have been seeing is about to correct.
-
My guess is that the Bills will offer a very similar deal to Poyer as what Mathieu received and he'll sign.
safeties can play at higher levels than DB's for longer periods of their careers, I think Poyer has another 3 years of high level football in him, which would most likely coincide with what the guaranteed money that they will offer him frontloading the first 2 years.

It's funny you posted this because I remember this happening on the sideline during the game and I remember thinking to myself "DAMN! Josh has got some hops on him!"
I think game time Josh outruns and jumps his timed metrics that we saw at the combines. He truly is an athletic specimen.
