    Week 8: SNF Packers at Bills (-10.5) 10/30 8:20pm

    in The Stadium Wall

    Our D-line is playing at a high level, If Bakhtiari is out, their O-Line is mostly JAG's or less - Rodgers will not have a lot of time to get his plays off.  Edmunds & Jones  have been playing well, which impacts the GB run game.  Hoping Eddie O is mending from his bum ankle. Be interesting to see if Tre White is active for this game even in a spot role.

     

    Bills thru hardest stretch of schedule what needs to happen to secure homefield

    Not sure we can say this.

     

    We still have to play at CInci, H/A vs. the Jets & the Patsies. We do get the Packers and Vikings in the OP. We also get Miami at home the third weekend in December. There's a lot of chances to stumble.  Detroit on Turkey day is a trap game on a short week.  Hoping the worst of our injury woes are over.

     

    McD stresses one game at a time.

    Toughest matchups against GB appear to be OLB/Edge Rashaan Gary, who is their best player so far with 6 sacks, and will give Dawkins and probably a tight end or FB all they can handle. Gary has 11 sacks in his last 10 games, and is still on his first round rookie contract, so will be looking for Von type money in the near term; and their NT Kenny Clark against our guards, although Morse may help with this, may put a lot of pressure on the center of our O line.

    Zone run vs Pin and Pull

    I don't know what the reason was, but once again they trotted this out the first 4 weeks and once again they sucked at it, possibly even worse than last year.

    They might get a mulligan on the Miami game, given the heat-related attrition of the OL that day.  Baltimore wasn't pretty, esp in the first half.

     

    Would like to see some semblance of a competent [non-QB] running game, even when we get out to a lead, if for no other reason to burn clock and force the opposing defense to pick their poison.

    Why is Daryl Williams Still a Free Agent?

    I think you're onto something.

     

    I've noticed Josh makes his pass protection look better than it is. Not only is he getting the ball out more quickly than ever before, he also moves in ways that strengthen the pocket instead of weakening it like many unaware quarterbacks do.

     

    Josh rarely moves into a sack and he has that "up and down the ladder" move which seems to help his blockers.

     

    In the KC game, if he hadn't been tripped, he was evading Chris Jones, and probably would have been able to get the pass off.

    How did Allen not dominate in college?

    Mel Kiper said the same thing on the ESPN broadcast of the 2018 draft, comparing him with Randy Johnson.  It starts around the 1:10 mark: 

     

    Another famous late blooming draft choice that took a few years to develop was Sandy Koufax, he could always throw the heat, but control was not his strong suit.

     

    He finally figured it out at age 26 and had five dominating seasons before his arm fell off.

     

    His personal catcher, Norm Sherry, did a lot for his development, and I think Diggs is Allen's Norm Sherry.

    If you could only have 1 (Beckham or McCaffrey)

    I've wondered for a bit if CMC transitions from a RB, which is no longer a valued position, to receiver. 

    Deebo has done well in this regard, receivers are getting paid, very few RB's are.

     

    Franchise tag is 18MM+ for WR, 9MM+ for RB's.

     

    He does have to show that he's not made of glass tho.

     

    I'm old enough to remember Bobby Mitchell doing just that when he was traded from the Cleveland to Washington. 

    PFF grades from KC...(for what they're worth)

    Saffold, Brown and Bates are going to be an issue all year. Saffold is just awful and is clearly our weakest olineman.  Spencer has regressed and at times even Q outplays him. 

    Fortunately Josh most of the time has the Houdini gene.  I wonder if O line weakness is a blessing in disguise because teams see what's going on and lose track of our receivers.  The Josh TD passes vs. KC to Diggs, Gabe and Knox were all throws only a few QB's even think about making, they all had completion probabilities in the mid-high 20% probability.

    I'm forced to conclude that the PFF graders pretty much don't understand team defense.

    I suspect later this season you will have the same comment about all-pro voters. 

    Bills have the top DVOA ranking despite just having played probably the only comparable offense in the league, but they will get slighted in the all-pro voting.
