I’ve got to slightly disagree with this. Frazier refused to bring a safety down into the box and refused to sub off Taron Johnson for a LB. The Pack did exactly what you are meant to do against the cover 2 shell, you run into it and dink/dunk your way down the field. And that’s going to happen against that alignment. The issue is, can you sustain that many plays in a drive without committing an error. And when the field compresses as you get towards the goal line can you punch it in for 7? The Pack couldn’t do it. That’s an effective defensive game plan. Sure, the rush numbers look high but does that matter if they aren’t converting any of those drives? You also have to say that had the offense not laid an egg in the 2nd half, this outcome would have been very different.

I don’t think it’s doom and gloom to point out the Bills looked pretty flat/bad in the 2nd half. That’s just being observational. It was a combination of things, thought the offensive play calling was pretty bad. Josh made mistakes and was trying to force it. Mental errors that led to penalties. Not as worried about the run defense, I think there was no way Frazier was going to bring an extra safety into the box or bring an extra LB on the field. All those yards on the ground and time used up, the Pack sort of played themselves out of the game.

I'd say that angle is no where near indicitive of how much the roof covers. You can see the lower seating in that image and how much of the seating is actually covered.

We really taking stadium renderings as final size and perspectives? This is Tottenham Stadium early renderings... Roof looks pretty small early on.

The huge buffalo statues out front though!

The bison statues out front 🤌🏻

It wouldn't suprise me, from 87-00 the jerseys didn't really change, looks wise, home or away. The stripes on the sleeves changed in 85-86, then didn't change again until the Bills jersey revamp in 00. It's entirely possible they had mixed jerseys out on the field. This was before the NFL had official sponsors and I mean, Ralph is cheap.

I believe the Jersey supplier switched in 1987 to Champion? But the previous supplier used stitched on numbers, not the heat transfer that @UConn James talks about above. I could be wrong but I don't think they would be using stiched on with heat transfer numbers. This is Kelly in 86, also last year of the blue facemask, and that number plate is stitched on.

Agreed. You look around the league and realize just how much of a different category both Allen and Mahomes are in. The QB play in the NFL is very average.

Massive kudos to Leslie Frazier. Designed up that spy roll for Milano. It was very very effective.

Kelce is going to get his, it’s crazy to think he won’t. But to @GunnerBill point don’t let him beat you big.

Yea, the tip balls to me are on the OL. Got to engage the pash rusher who's given up on the rush, can't just allow him to jump. And yea they have to do have to still throw deep. No doubt about that. They just need to pick when to do it.

Oh Jeremy, oh Jeremy. Both Miami and Ravens went to a Cover 2 shell to absolutely limit the deep shots. It's the same defense we play against Mahomes. Those are 2 teams that like to play a lot of Man coverage.

Think it has to do with the OL. They just aren't a run blocking OL and Morse, who Josh would be running behind, just doesn't get that push up front. I think they know they can't do it.

Former Patriot OL

Could it be they have a proper 1T to keep them clean?

Thought Edmunds had a nice game too

Time to burn the short yardage playbook. It’s awful this season. I’m convinced they are over thinking it.

This is where the loophole makes it confusing. According to the protocol, if a “no go” event occurs the player is suppose to leave the field immediately and be escorted to the locker room. You aren’t suppose to be able to come back from a “no go” event except if they can determine if the player had a “gross motor instability” and that was caused by something orthopaedic not neurological. I think the problem there is, if you take them straight to the sideline for the test there’s a better chance diagnosing the concussion. Otherwise you are giving the player time to clear those cobwebs. They also don’t go into details about how they determine it was orthopaedic and not neurological.

LET’S GOOOOOOOO

It’s literally on the NFL site, I’m not smoking anything. Feel free to read it and smoke, if you like. Not to mention @Warcodered posted a video of a doctor explaining the same exact thing. But sure, disagree all you like.

Surprised they wouldn't just cut or release him and come up with some sort of settlement.

No I'm not being a dick but you are posting from the NFL website and it's all right there. And to your second question, if you see the * by the Gross Motor Instability, that explains how they can go back in after appearing to have a "No Go" situation. They have to prove it was caused neurologically instead of looking at the video and just assuming it is. If they can't prove it, aka he passes the concussion tests AND they prove he has an orthopedic issue, he can return to play. It also says on the checklist you posted about going to the locker room for a No Go: That's the loophole and where the whole thing has fallen down. Tua may have been able to clear the cob webs and pass the concusion test. They may have then determined he did in fact have a back injury. So therefore he can return to play. I have no idea if they review the video in the locker room, or seek a second opinion. Nothing in the protocol seems to suggest they do.
