  1. RAS is a great tool to measure physical attributes, but nowhere does it measure mental processing speed, the ability to analyze, then execute the required behavior. 

     

    That's what makes the great tackles great.

     

    Tackle Play may not always be indicative of how well a team is doing. 

     

    There are five teams with bookend top 25 tackles: Eagles, Vikings, Lions, Falcons, and amazingly Texans - arguably the worst team in the league

     

    Also noticed that former Bill Ty Nsekhe is starting for the Rams at LT.

  2. The Bears Offense is a decent test for the Bills defense, which is down 2 key starters in Von & Micah.  Their Defense has been devastated by injuries, and the trade of Roquan, and that should be a mismatch against Buffalo's offense.  If Josh doesn't play due to injury, then this may be a good game to establish the running game for the playoffs.  The weather of course could be the great equalizer.  I trust McDermott & Co. will be focused on the game at hand and not looking ahead to the Bengals.

  3. In the Dolphins game, our TD's were to Knox, Morris, Hines, and Cook, so that would suggest Josh and Dorsey know they need to diversify the offense.

     

    Regarding your point on defending the run, I saw Milano whiff on a couple of tackles, and our CB's are slow to come up in run support [that could be scheme as they are told to stick to Cheetah and Waddle as job #1].  I also notice that instead of trying to stop a runner in his tracks, we tend to try to ride them towards the sideline.

     

    As always enjoy your analysis and the poetry is uplifting.

  4. I just took a look, and not only does Mahomes play behind a better O-Line, [Dawkins is the only player on our O-Line better than any of their 5], but because of the injury bug, we haven't been very consistent with our O-line.  The Chiefs starters as a unit have played 94% of their snaps.  The Bills starters as a unit have played 84% of the snaps.  KC has only one reserve [Allegretti] with any significant number of snaps, we have three, Quessenberry, VanRoten, and [shudder] Hart.

    Let’s just hope the Bills film room isn’t having technical difficulties this week because our coaches have ELEVEN examples of how to beat Justin Fields and the Bears…and that’s just from this season alone. 

    Actually Fields has only been the losing qb in TEN games, Siemian who is on IR started in the loss at the Jests Thanksgiving.

  6. Saffold is making $6.2 Million cash for this year, and is the 77th of 84 guards according to a certain player rating site.  He actually grades out lower than the aforementioned Mr. Hart.

     

    Josh Allen is playing behind a bunch of JAG's [or worse]. What he is producing is nothing short of a miracle.

    Certainly a nightmare having 2 of the fastest guys in the league on the same team (and maybe I’m nitpicking) but I wouldn’t say those 2 are first and second in terms of being a deep threat

    Dolphins actually have 3 of the fastest guys in the league, Mostert is fast, really fast.

     

    However Baltimore with Duvernay and Bateman are currently 1 and 3 in top game speed according the Next Gen Stats

    4) fortunately for the Bills, no one else has the unique threats that stress the corners like the Dolphins present. They’ve somehow captured the two best deep threats in the league

     

    I think Burrow, Chase, Higgins, and Boyd probably stress a defense even more than Tua, Waddle, & Hill.  Burrow is a more polished QB than Tua
