Forward Progress

You got your wish 😃

What do you mean we're not polite? It is a long held tradition to drop the gloves and beat the crap out of each other on the ice, then have a beer together and laugh about it after the game. Why is this so hard to understand? 😄

I’d take the ball in the first half today… it’s better to have the extra possession when the ball is dry.

As much as I hated the loss in Jacksonville, the team may be better because of it. Learning to be the hunted includes knowing that every team is built on NFL talent and cannot be taken lightly. If you don't prepare fully through the entire week and bring all of your physicality on game day, you may not win on Sunday. I think back to last year's Hail Murray loss in Arizona. Up until that game we protected leads by attempting to run the clock with conservative play calling. After that loss, we never stopped trying to score until we were kneeling for the win. This team (coaches included) is still learning how to be successful when opponents are gunning for you every week and has shown a continuous growth mindset. I'd like to see nothing but wins for the rest of the year, but as long as the growth continues, we will be happy in the end.

Not gonna lie… this post pumps me up every week!!!

Damn!!! I am horrible person, because my first thought was, "there goes my fantasy team." I hate to see players lose time to injury, especially superstars like Henry. If Henry is gone for the year, this will affect the Titans in the same way that losing a QB does to most teams.

What about Paul and Mary? Can they be visible? Asking for a friend.

One major disadvantage with the RPO is that the O-Line needs to stay within 1 yard of the line of scrimmage or they will called as an ineligible player downfield if Allen chooses to pass. This really hurts the running plays where every O-lineman must be well positioned for pass protection (i.e. no pulling guards) and defenses are countering with just 6 in the box. I agree with the Cover 1 guy that we need to vary our looks a little better with some pure running plays called to exploit the 6-in-the-box defences.

Thanks for posting. I agree with you that "The Leap" was the first defining moment where Allen won over his teammates and the fan base. In that moment, and many more that have followed, he showed that he is a true competitor who cares about nothing more than winning. After watching multiple versions of Bills QB's throw checkdowns on 3rd downs setting up hundreds of punts, it has been energizing to see Allen play to win the game. Even when the outcome isn't what we want, it's clear that he plays for first downs and touchdowns. What a great time it is to be a Bills fan!!

Just post these quotes if we're trailing in the first half and we can trust that this board will calm down right away. 😜

Are we mathematically eliminated now... or still in the hunt?

This team has talked a lot about taking what the defense gives... until they give us room to run or throw underneath, then we go back to our 5-wide aerial attack.

He would be the #1 receiver on the 2018 Buffalo Bills. 😄

I always liked PFF. Their evaluation methodologies are second to none.

I'm not gonna lie... I often come here just for the @HOUSE one-liners

Well, I'm as non-essential as can be... I'm on my way!!! 😃

I hope McKenzie is okay... his head hit the turf pretty hard. 🤞

You might want to check your math… Bezos’ net worth is $195 Billion, so I don’t think he has enough to give $1 Billion to each of the 320 Million Americans.

I think you're right, Shaw. Knox is an interesting case, because he's made so many difficult catches along with a high number of easy drops. My belief has been that he's eyeing up his next move before securing the catch on the easy one's and fully focused on the contested catches. Whatever the cause of the drops, I hope he turns it around this year because his game is pretty solid outside of the easy dropped balls.

This can only mean one thing... Star is retiring. Discuss among yourselfs... 😁

In PFF-Land, turnover worthy throws are more important than interceptions.

I trust them even more than random message board posters. 😃 This wasn't my view 10 years ago. 🙃
