The Saint's calling in life seems to be serving as a warning for others: dead cap will kill a team. They mismanaged their cap. They are second in the league in dead cap.
With one or two exceptions, the Top-10 dead cap teams have middling records.
All Hail Brandon Beane... the Bills rank 18th in dead cap, and improving.
their problem is that they continue to dedicate cap to bad players not that they manipulate the cap-

International series instead of Germany or London, sure
Voluntarily replacing home games in the stadium everyone just financed psls for... how tone deaf can you be?
yea I’ll take this over London if losing a home game -

I don't like that Coleman got 0 catches from 50/50 balls where he had to fight with the DB.
All of his catches where when he had separation. He has the body control, just not the hands.
However, I'm hopeful, he can turn into Davante Adams, if he keeps improving. Right now, Gabe Davis has better possession skills.
I couldn’t be more thrilled to hear the word separation with him. Are you serious?-

Nobody's asking for him to change his style. Or to eliminate all straight-arms.
But yeah, when they get to you in the backfield, and it's a DL that's on you, that's not the time for him to be straight-arming. It just isn't.
I'm very very sure they will coach him up on that. But it should never have happened. IMO this is partly a result of the fawning he hears when he gets a highlight play from a straight-arm.
Heh heh. This.
It's not nothing. It's a bad play, a mental mistake. A bad play that probably cost his team the game. Elite players make them too. And then do their best to iron out the problem.
Can you point out where I used the word arrogance? I did chuckle at RochesterLifer's joke there. But I wasn't trying to imply arrogance so much as a bit of wanting to see himself on "Angry Runs" again this week, maybe allowing his excitement about the great feedback he usually gets about that tactic to twist his sense of when it's good to use it.
And I would argue that "it" doesn't almost always work, if "it" refers to using the straight-arm in the backfield when already in the grip of a DL who's larger than him. I'm sure his coaches won't be telling him never to use the straight-arm again. But almost surely they've already told him there are times when it's just a bad idea, and he's got to better figure out when those times are.
Still a terrific runner, though.
obviously he will watch the rep and try to do better.
constructing some out of thin air narrative is silly though.

I was watching the game again and noticed something on Henry's fumble.
He's been getting so much positive feedback on all those straightarms that he used it when he shouldn't have. Those appear on the highlights all season long, and you can bet he knows that, and gets all kinds of hero worship for them. As he should, really, but sometimes there are consequences.
Oliver is headed right towards him in the backfield. Henry puts the ball in his left hand and immediately goes for the straight-arm with his right hand. That was a mistake.
Oliver's right arm is free. He's got an OL leaning on his left side, but his right hand, the one closest to Henry's ball hand, it's free. Henry's play there is to wrap his right hand around the ball and cover with two hands. He didn't, and Ed made him pay.
He should be coached when NOT to use the straight-arm. That was not the time, it was a time to be careful. They should also coach him that the guys he successfully straight-arms are mostly safeties, CBs and an occasional LB. Guys smaller than Henry himself. Oliver may be small for a DT, but he's bigger and stronger than Henry.
just because he messed up one play in the moment at full speed doesn’t mean he’s poorly coached on it or big headed. Life happens and he’s an absolutely elite talent. Until it’s a trend, it’s nothing.-

He didn't try to turn inside is the only argument I can come up with. The defender extended his arms pushing him out, sure but Coleman should have tried to come in bounds.
yea without a replay my best guess was that it was chalked as incidental contact knocking him out that Keon didn’t fight through. Essentially he willingly rode the contact out to get around the defender instead of pushing for an inbounds option? -

Totally agree, spot on! And Allen and this offense have never executed that fade well to begin with, I would understand it more if we converted it at a high rate, but we don't, its the opposite. I hate that play every time the call it, and they even used to call it a lot with Diggs who wasn't even a big target.
We also went from a great down and short team to a total trainwreck in down and short. I feel like because the Bills were so vocal and against the tush push they have decided they can't run it anymore and bastardized it in the AFCCG (worst version of it I have ever seen and nothing like we had been running it a high success rate previously) and we have even further gone away from it this year already. So much so, on the goal line Allen had to over the top and put the ball at risk to get the TD.
The biggest offensive issue we had on Sunday was our many bad calls on 3rd and short and our 2 PT tries. Its mind blowing how often they take away all of Allens strengths in these situations with bad play calls or poorly designed plays like our bastardized QB sneak now that went from a never fail attempt to now never works.
as silly as it sounds - one of Brady’s special traits was keeping drives alive in these situations with a remarkable conversion percentage in short yardage.-

Palmer is really good BTW, we have a lethal trio at WR plus Knox Kincaid and Cook/Ty
Palmer is like acceptably decent. You don’t want to know what Josh would do with really good. It’d be moss-Brady 23 TD season level production-

I was reading today approximately 30% of the stadium left early.
Probably one of the most memorable games in Highmark stadium history.
You would think people would have learned from the comeback game?
Nope
30% of the stadium wasn’t alive for that game-

Maybe. But that isn't a complete pass.
no, not at all but it may be a partial reality that’s more in line than the initial reaction many had that he had no idea what he was doing -

We'll have to take a look at his snap count, but I'm worried the Bills are using him too much.
Maybe because the game was so close ?
close, important game that is heavily skewed towards his style of play while others are suspended….
makes sense he’d get a few extra reps.
hopefully balances out over the long haul.

His contain and discipline first half was wretched. But he made some plays too including at the end if half to hold the Ravens to 3 and allow us chance to answer.
He also did blow the would be sack 2nd half. If he and Rousseau both stay on their feet Lamar has no escape and they get him.
Otherwise he showed some pop as a rusher. There was reason to be optimistic.
I feel like to play the ravens you have to guess right a few times and get them off schedule and out of rhythm.
Eating 8 yard runs in a disciplined manner only takes you so far. Putting them in 2nd and 14 lets you dictate a whole lot more.
I suspect a little bit was getting up to speed in a new season but a little bit was also the above

I actually thought Allen got confused quite a bit presnap in the first half. Some of those checked runs were him getting fooled.
He figured it out by the end
yea- it seemed like a not great first half but much better second half for pre snapi think some of the Brady hate first half was actually Allen audibles

We will not see a bigger matchup nightmare than the Ravens. We need Bishop’s athleticism on the field as he continues on the learning curve. Facing Lamar last night was a good prep for seeing Fields next week.
yea- fields and breece are an athletic pair but much more manageableLamar’s speed and Henry’s power/speed are near impossible for a safety in the open field
-
Yea if true that he pulled himself on 4th down against a rival to close the game…. Should receive a lot of attention

What are your thoughts on Safety going into Week 2?
Should we keep Bishop on the field and let him grow thru it?
Damar?
Hancock?
Poyer?
Sign Peppers / Simmons?
lamar-Henry-flowers is a very tough match for our unit. I expect Rapp-bishop will look better most days going forward.-

We all would be jumping for joy if Allen did that to a Ravens fan who was being disrespectful. The fan was totally in the wrong.
no I wouldn’t.
both can be wrong.

In the end, pro players (whatever the sport) should never react at all to ahole fans, verbally or physically. Bad idea every time. You are paid to ignore them.
yup- a whole lot of money topretend they don’t exist and trust stadium ops to ban them for life.
fan should be banned - and if a psi at the new digs, forfeit the deposit.
lamar should be fined heavily too

Great 4th quarter, but overall, it didn't really alleviate my concerns in terms of ability to consistently separate. I thought he was ineffective to that point, especially downfield. Once they thought they had the game in the bag, they stopped playing tight coverage at the snap and it gave him room to operate. To his credit, he took advantage of it. And to be fair, I do think he's better on shorter routes where he's running parallel to the LOS.
yea, I am curious to see if the tape shows jaire absolutely crumbling.
The post game crew was shredding the ravens for keeping jaire on the field.
I suspect, and am comfortable with “a slightly more qb friendly Gabe Davis” today but not the he’s a stud stuff already

Yet another rule that might need to be looked at by the NFL. Keon gets pushed out under the goal post. He immediately comes back on the field and runs all the way across the end zone, in bounds, before catching the ball. That should be a catch! Otherwise, I’m guessing the receiver’s only option is to literally walk out the back of the end zone and effectively give himself up on the play.
that is largely what the plan is there. That or more particularly just go take up space to free someone up. You can’t present as a target.-

They are likely a below average unit that benefitted hugely from Josh.

He’s a goober but he was right that it was like a video game

A few thoughts
- This game is exactly like what that Vikings game was a few seasons ago. Except this time we were on the winning side!- What is the record for yards per play and your team still lost? Ravens must be up there.
- Safety is a big problem without a solution on the roster.
At least this is about as stressful as it gets for a safety. Hopefully repetitions make a difference-
