Yea, I’ve not seen whether they were going to copy that exactly, and I’m not sure that’ll work for Buffalo haha. But it was just nice to be able to stand in concourse and see the field still. And then the concessions were on like an outer ring.

I loved that about Tottenham Stadium, they have glass going around the entire concourse, so you can see the field, and then a glass door into your section.

I do wonder if some of it is this pre season and how players now don't really have one. I agree with what you said about the 2nd level. The LBs and Safety's just looked slow to react or weren't reading the plays correctly. Rusty, I would call it. I thought for the most part the DL as a whole, outside of the rookies, did a decent job. And then Oliver obviously adjusted and took over.

Got caught without Oliver on the field. Same thing they were doing in 1st half, that Ed adjusted to 2nd half, except TJ Sanders was in and not Oliver. Run away from the 3T. Scoop blocked TJ and Bosa out of play so they couldn't collapse the running lane, hence why it's a massive hole to run through. Bernard tries to fill the gap and key on Hnry but the hole is massive and he get's blown up. Rapp either makes businss decision or wrong angle or is tired. This is the same I formation the other long runs from Henry came from.

Yea the gap control in the 1st half was awful, and the Ravens would target away from the 3T(Oliver) and that's where Henry's big runs came from. The Tackle would scoop block Oliver with the backside tackle, so he couldn't disrupt the running lane. Which is really want you want to do for Henry. Need him going East/West not North/South. Great 2nd half adjustment by Oliver and recognising formation and tendecies, he started speed rushing the scoop block, which resulted in those 2 big stops by Ed. But yea, if you watch the Gap control, it's pretty bad, saw Milano and Williams, completely miss filling the gap on a couple plays.

Where you at now Flowers?!

I think Dallas loses this trade in terms of what they got. Those two 1sts, will probably end up being worth 1 top 10 pick. Clark is a legit DT, but is 29 years old. I think the Packers lose in terms of the contract. Why do this trade a week before the season starts? So odd.

Was in elementary school in late 80s and early 90s, in WNY and this was definitely a thing. I remember the kid in my class who was a Dolphins fan and in my neighborhood friends there were a couple Cowboys and Niners fans. Just easier to root for the teams that were winning it all, I guess. Weirdly I didn't notice it in high school as much, when the Bills had just lost 4 Super Bowls.

Agreed. It’s just coincidental that those games happen to fall when they do. It’s not like every big Chiefs game falls in the first 5 weeks(they are all big games), they play the Giants and Jags as well. And they still have the Lions, Chargers(again), our Bills and the Commanders the rest of the season. Plus the Texans. Rice could be suspended for all those games. And I think and agree the fact there has been no settlement means the NFL wants to drop the hammer.

Good first episode, enjoyed the Josh part, the Tre and Dion parts were good. Will be interesting to see where they go with the other players they choose to feature. It'll be hard for them to really feature any fringe players as this team is pretty solid. I would assume next episode features more of the rookies.

My only issue is, the play action, watching the game back was money even if it didn't hit the deep shots. It opened the underneath stuff, at least. I think this could have been used more effectively in the 3rd quarter on 1st down. We saw stacked boxes and ran into them anyways. Ravens knew we wanted to bleed the clock and their 2nd half adjustment to that, was very good. I just thought Brady didn't adjust to what the Ravens did. Saying that, I thought the Ravens had a very good 2nd half defensively.

He's a liability, on a few plays where he was in man coverage, on a slick snowy surface, which is an advantage to the reciever and oh yea, when the defensive line could get not pressure? Did I get that right? Yea are aware he didn't play in the first Ravens match up and the Bills were trounced, correct?

I politely disagree, you tush push on 3rd down. Josh is good for at least a yard, sometimes more. You certainly don't start him 3 yards behind the LOS, in a congested area of the field. They have multiple variations of the tush push as well, where Allen can slide down the line and then push. You don't have to run it the same way. When you get the yard on 3rd down, you get another on 4th. Saying that, the right call was the FG after the failed 3rd down play.

Didn’t love the gameplan from Brady, especially the 2nd half.

And Barkley wasn't going to be challenging the rushing record on this past years Giants team, so it's not like we'd be watching him rush for 2000 yards on the Giants instead of the Eagles.

While that's true, they still went 0-3 to start the season and some of that does fall on Anarumo.

Lost to the Patriots at home to open this season and allowed a really poor Pittsburgh offense, in beginning of December, to produce more than 500 yards of offense. That same Pittsburgh team on a 4 game losing streak.

And this is why Robert Kraft is a moron. You knew you were going to do this and let Mayo walk out there and coach a team to a victory. When you had the 1st seed locked up, and you knew you were going to fire him, why not fire him then? Why give him another game? Who are you trying to not look dysfunctional for? If you want Vrabel, fire Mayo... tank the last game and go get Vrabel.

Desperate teams do desperate things. They don't know what to do and are searching everywhere...

Was an OG in the Shoutbox, when I used to spend most of my time there. Always positive and optimistic about the Bills. Condolences to his family.

Agreed. Within this offense and this system, I've been impressed with Allen. His decision making has been very good and when he's asked to put on the cape, he can still do it. Obviously would like better outside threats to open up the offense but you can't really fault Allen's play this year, last week withstanding. I'm hoping this is just transition/reload year offense and not what the Bills do going forward.

Agreed, and I may be biased but I love Leeds United when they play Kaiser Chiefs “I Predict a Riot” after home wins. Helps that Kaiser Chiefs are from Leeds but it’s also an easy chorus to sing and the stadium goes absolutely nuts.

I’d consider putting Mason Rudolph in

I think some fans have a hard time understanding that the QB position isn't just throwing the ball. A QB can be above average or even elite but not be particularly elite at passing. The QB position has always had the ability to become a runner. Lamar Jackson is an elite runner at the QB position. He's not an elite passer but he's also not completely crap either. I'd say he's probably in the 7-15 range of passers in the NFL. He's either 1 or 2 in running, depending how you rate Allen. As a whole at the postion those 2 measurables put him easily in the top 10 and for me maybe just outside the top 5 at his position. If you have to designate a player on the defensive side of the ball to spy a player, I just don't think that makes you below-average. His running ability has to be game planned for.

Absolutely a mess. No direction at moment. Not that I'm feeling sorry for Chelsea scum.
