He dropped his only target. But he's been pretty good blocking, I bet the 2nd Diggs TD would've counted if Knox had been there instead of Sweeney.

I'll be at the game. This will be my 3rd Xmas Eve game in Chicago. I've lived near Chicago my whole life, I have no Bears affiliation, but have been to many games there. The Bears had home games on Xmas Eve 2 years in a row, back when I was in HS/college. At both games I saw a guy dressed as Santa get beat up. Not sure if it was the same guy both years... The more good players the Bears are missing, the higher likelihood of pissed off fans beating up Santa.

A lot of it is technique. I see a ton of upper body tackling, especially when tackling a guy from behind. If you tackle a guy by the thighs, or even ankle, from behind, he drops instantly. If you grab him around the shoulders or waist, he drags you for another 2-3 yards, or just runs through it.

We've been getting absolutely killed by WR1s on teams who don't have much as far as secondary receivers. Jefferson & Amari Cooper were open on just about every play. And we still didn't adjust anything toward them. Amon-Ra St Brown will do the same if we don't double, or at least bracket him, they have literally nothing at receiver besides him.

My dog wasn't wearing his Bill's t-shirt. We put the shirt on him for every game we've won this year. We weren't at home for the Miami & Jets games, so we didn't put it on him. Vikings game, he didn't wear it & my wife got home just before the end & put it on him, but it was too late. Lesson learned. From now on, he's wearing the shirt all day on game days even if he's home alone.

Von Miller was a turd on most run plays aside from the TFL. He rushes the passer on every play, even on obvious run downs. Teams are starting to run at him & he takes himself out of the play far too often. It seems every week he gets a big TFL by running down the RB from behind, that's because he's rushing the passer & in the backfield to do that. When they run to his side, he's rarely in the play. His splash plays have been huge, but we need him to affect more of the other 90% of plays as well.

Jets play primarily Zone D. Mckenzie is good vs Man, but struggles vs Zone. Hopefully we see more of Shakir this week.

Sills has been terrible, but does have a catch in every Giants game this season. He's been playing largely out of necessity, he's the most likely one for Hodgins to get a shot over.

The biggest issue the Giants have been having with WRs is understanding the playbook, with the option routes & nuances. They had reduced Kadarius Toney to WR6 coming into the season because he just couldn't get it. Hodgins already knows Daboll's playbook, don't be surprised to see him get an immediate opportunity to play.

I predicted this in another thread. NYG is a great spot for him to get on the field. Wish him the best.

Wouldn't be surprised if Daboll picks up Hodgins, Giants are in dire need of any WR that can play.

Um, he's a probable All Pro at LB. I think we have better options at Safety.

It really feels like a loss to me, I'm glad Josh took it the same way. But if they can play the worst they've played all season & still win, I'll take it.

Agreed. Giants lost 2 starters from their OL last week. They'll turn back into a pumpkin this week.

No NFL team is trading for Cam Akers, let alone the Bills. Yes, he was once a very promising young RB, but then he tore his achilles. He is toast, and definitely not an upgrade from Moss. Even if/when he gets cut, Beane won't even blink. These twitter idiots are just looking for clicks.

Tampa is not paying a 1st rounder & maybe more for a DE. They're 3 months away from being in QB purgatory and will need all the picks they can get. If Chubb gets traded for a 1st, it'll be a contending team that already has a QB for next season.

I have framed autographed jerseys of Kelly, Bruce, Thurman, & Diggs on my basement walls, I saved room to get Josh eventually. Several other Bills signs decorate my basement. I have a full size Riddell Bills helmet in my office. I got a new white riddell helmet for free when I was coaching football. I have a bunch of the vinyl Bills logo helmet stickers & the stripes from when I coached my son's 2nd & 3rd grade teams, when I of course chose the Bills for our team. Made it into a nice piece of memorabilia.

He looks slow as crap now though, those games were back when he had wheels. I doubt he does much of anything in the game.

You can see the effectiveness of the DTs in the LB play. Milano has taken yet another step up, and Edmunds is making a lot more tackles near the line of scrimmage. We've probably already seen more run plays where we have an unblocked LB this year than we did all of last year.

I have an autographed framed Kelly jersey that is the Mitchell & Ness version with the "block" 2 number. The strange thing is that it has small game photos of Kelly in each of the 4 corners of the frame, and he's wearing jerseys with the regular 2 in all of them. I remember looking it up when I noticed & came to the conclusion that Mitchell & Ness just must've been lazy.

Yep, Collins got hurt in an early-season game & Painter came in, then started the following week. Painter is still probably the worst starting QB I've ever seen in the NFL. Collins was ready to return after 1-2 awful Painter starts, but the Colts announced they were sticking with Painter for the rest of the year. The absolutely did that to "suck for Luck", there is no question.

Robinson is washed. Tore his achilles last year & does have 2-3 nice runs this year, but he's been a turd on 90% of his touches. He's a 3.0 yards/carry guy on the Jets.

Hunt has played 48% of the snaps, to Chubb's 53%- only a difference of 28 snaps in 7 games. But Chubb has 126 rushing attempts (5.9/avg) to Hunt's 66 (4.0/avg). I think it's just a case of Chubb being the better player, you'd think he'd get a larger snap share.

Jeudy is a very talented player, but his frustration with the team is showing in spades. Not only is he playing lazily at times, his in-game body language has been beyond terrible. Seeing as Denver gave up their 1st & 2nd round picks the next 2 years for Russ, they're probably not taking less than a late 1st for either Chubb or Jeudy, Jeudy has likely pouted himself out of trade-ability.

Miami just ran that 2nd & long with Hill, Waddle, & Mostert all on the sideline. Why does that personnel package even exist for them? Truly asinine play calling. Then they were about to run that grouping again on 3rd, and Tua had to call a timeout.
