Land Clark is the zebra crew. They had our game in Vegas last year. They throw about 7 flags a game on each team.
Most significant call in last year's game was a 46 yard dpi against Poyer that led to a Raider td.

In 1964, Elbert Dubenion had over 1,000 receiving yards on 42 catches! Average 27.1 yards per reception. Crazy stat. I'm guessing that will be a Bills record that is never broken.
He had 10 TD catches that year, and averaged 36.9 Yards on those 10 catches, none over 57 yards.

So you’re saying having an 18 month old at home and boozing it up until 4AM on a weeknight is a check mark in the “great guy” column?
Apparently Rugg's girlfriend/Baby Mama was also seriously injured in the crash.

Bills scoring leader in Points per game [non Kickers] is Cookie Gilchrist, 35 TD's in 42 games - 5 ppg. [Cookie was also the kicker in 1962 - had 8 fg's and 14 XP's ]

Our O line as a whole is average. The interior of the O line is below average.
Actually our O line is comparable to the Ravens, Bengals, and Steelers, our offensive line is exactly at the average of the 7 AFC teams with records above .500.
Tenn is currently the best O line in the AFC, although we will see how much is due to King Henry. Chargers also have a solid group, Raiders line is garbage, but Carr and Jacobs compensate to some extent.
Wonder if anyone has calculated the number & % of plays where JA17 has succeeded when his line has not.

We have one of the pricier O-lines in the league this season, and our O-line is one of the worst in the league. We have to be dead last in terms of money spent vs quality of play.
So Josh Allen basically is covering for the ineptitude of our O-Line, and still getting it done. Too bad that doesn't factor into the MVP conversation.
On further review, GB, Arizona, the Bills and the Ravens all have similarly graded O-Lines. So perhaps a good O-line is not a requirement in today's NFL?

Schweitzer is under contract through 2022 with a $6MM cap hit next year.

Schweitzer is 11th ranked RG.

Looking at PFF Grades through week 8, Wyatt Teller is ranked 4th and Quinton Spain ranked 13th. Meanwhile we have Feliciano [hurt] at #50, Boettger at 59, and Cody at 72/74. Wonder how some of these decisions are made?

At his current pace of 9 points per game, it would take him 7 seasons to become the all time leading scorer [barring injury]. We have him under contract til 2024. Tucker, arguably the top kicker in the league makes $5MM. Top rank kickers on their 2nd contract make $4MM. Question will be with Josh's mega salary, can we afford to spend that much on our kicker.
PFF currently has him ranked 7th on FG/XP. He's 3rd from the bottom on Kickoffs, but that may be due to some of our gaming on ST's.

I have to question if you ever watched Bruce Smith play... At no point in Hughes playing career has he ever had the same level of quickness Bruce had. Bruce used to completely take over games when he was on... That's never happened with Hughes
Bruce was longer and more physical than Jerry. People forget, Bruce was 300 pounds as a rookie before Darryl Talley and his eventual wife Carmen got on him about his training habits. He also played all three downs, and often tied up two blockers if they ran to his side.

Last successful "free kick field goal" [the official term] was
Ray Wersching, San Diego vs. Buffalo, November 21, 1976.
Good from 45 at the end of the first half. This kick put the Chargers up 27-10, and so is missing from most brief recaps of the game. This is the last known successful NFL free kick. -
I'm old enough to remember Pete Gogolak making a 57 yarder [one yard longer than the NFL record] in a preseason game, and that began the move to soccer style Kickers, think that was in 1964.

For the 977th time, you don't trade a top notch backup QB when you're a Super Bowl contender. Not 30 years ago, not this year, NEVER!
Hostetler wasn't even a top notch backup, and he outplayed JK in the Super Bowl.

Good to rest him against a team that we should beat without him. Trade deadline is Tuesday. I wonder if we move somebody for even a 6th round pick and put a CB on the active 40 or stash a good OG off of somebody's practice squad?
I think to poach a PS player, you have to put them on the active roster. Are Russell Okung or Mitchell Schwartz worth a 10 game rental?

Dawkins better remember which Josh Allen he is supposed to block, he blocked the wrong Josh against the Titans.

Zimmer, Basham and Obada did not get a sniff of the field and are the more mobile QB chasers.
Zimmer was nicked up I believe. On the Injury report most of the week.

BTW Manny was held to Zero yes 000000 catches on 4 targets
Expect him to break out vs the Jags.
Jags are very weak at the slot corner and the LB's, Best player is THEIR Josh Allen. Suspect another good day for Beasley, and Sweeney. Center and left side of their D-line are meh, so perhaps we are able to get some semblance of a running game going on the right side. Dawkins and Boettger will have to man up against JAX-Josh.

Brady gets sacked twice at the end. Wonder how much longer he wants to get beat up.
-
I think Josh has [along with an exceptional and deep receiver group] been for the most part the reason we are winning, and have been in every game to the end. I had hoped that the hero ball/intentional grounding gene had been exorcised, but it reared its ugly head again today.

Bass 57 yarder in that weather.

Tyler Bass named AFC ST Player of the Month
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
But Blankenship has amazing glasses! Interesting, both in the same draft class and both played CFB in Georgia.
