  1. Re James Cook run here is the photo. The blocking looks like he should take the red path to the outside, but he cut it up the blue path where he fumbled.
  2. Yikes...hyping up a 9 yard out from a perfect pocket that he threw one time.
  3. Came to post this. It came out of nowhere because we werent good the year before. The start of the magical run for that team. It went Chiefs drubbing, then 18 point comeback against Oakland in the home opener and then the 21pt comeback win against NE to start 3-0. Before one of the biggest collapses in NFL history
  4. We are thin for a team with SB aspirations and the 1 seed in sight. We are a Diggs injury away from having a very mediocre WR corp. Can Davis be a #1 for a few weeks if Diggs goes down? Replacing Cole and Sanders with Crowder and McK feels like a drop off. My only hope is that the addition of Howard makes up some of the difference. But I would hate for WR depth to hurt our chances at a 1-seed.
  5. Maybe its in the study but what were the odds most of these guys were out of the league in 3 years anyway? To me youd have to compare All-Pro level CBs to get a good study. You cant loop all NFLers into it.
  6. if we put him on the wall would he even show up?
  7. Soldier and Lambeau also have ***** fields in the winter. Go back and look at this years NFC Div game against SF. The field was in rough shape by the end of the year and that is WITH under-field heaters which I doubt we would get. The modern turf isnt the same as the old days astroturf. I think turf is the way to go in Buffalo
  8. Maybe we can try to replicate the Rams metrics instead, seemed to work out for them.
  9. I havent read all 10 pages but I think OP is discounting how impressive it is that Knox was able to increase his snap count significantly (increased confidence in his ability by the coaches) while also improving receiving stats. Its like the difference between being an off-the-bench spot up shooter and a ball handler volume shooter but having a better 3 point %. The fact that hes on the field more means they trust him blocking, instead of having to bring in Lee Smith. Leaving him on the field more means uncertainty by the defense if hes out there for runs and passes. This is all stuff that wont show up in his personal stats. Knox absolutely earns his contract if he repeats in 2022
  10. Allens specialty is curls/comeback routes to the outside and deep crossers that almost always go out of bounds after being caught. Our screen game has been mediocre lately and Josh has never been much of a true go-ball thrower. So quick slant routes would be the best way to get YAC for us. Maybe Dorsey will unlock it, but with Josh being so good at other things Im not gonna get too upset about it. The 9 yards comeback route to Diggs is unguarable sometimes.
  11. Kurt is allowed to grade on whatever scale he wants. But one thing I didnt understand with this specific criticism is that he admits he makes up for "missing layups" with his tremendous physical talent. Which implies that he is getting the job done, just not in the way Kurt wants. It almost comes of that he would give him more praise Josh made the layups but wasnt able to impose his will physically. If youre getting the job done then youre getting the job done. I guess isnt the point (or at least a point) of getting a physically gifted QB that they dont have to be perfectly cerebral. The margin for error increases. Otherwise youre Baker Mayfield. I guess if youre grading Josh as a pure passer its fair. But if youre grading him as a QB capable of moving the ball down the field then it seems incorrect.
  12. Im 33 now, and watched Thurman but not in the way that I could appreciate his true ability. Last season in the week leading up to the AFC Champ game I watched all 4 of our AFC champ games in the SB run on youtube, full games (sans commercials which is awesome). I couldnt believe how good Thurman was. After I while I was thinking why dont they just hand it to him every single play. He was an absolute beast every time he got the ball. My perception of him and the offense changed after that. No wonder Kelly was efficient, they were terrified of Thurman and for good reason.
  13. The track record of the Shanahan-McVay coaching style is undeniable at this point with McVay, Shanahan, Taylor, LeFleur (jury is out on Brandon Staley who is on the defensive side of things). They have made multiple conference championships and 4 SB appearances between them. McVay and Shanahan have done it with mediocre talent at QB as well in Jimmy G and Goff. I would be excited to get him if I were a Dolphins fan because of that. Even if you dont become world beaters, the teams are competitive.
  14. If we get to 2 SB, win 1 and Allen has several MVPs under his belt I am perfectly fine being the "Manning Colts" to Mahomes and the Chiefs
  15. Yea mentions changes in the run game after wards, but I agree the biggest change was the run game. I actually dont remember too many go-routes. I think getting the O-line sorted and getting them continuity helps a ton. But theyve also brought in an extra blocker along with the blocking prowess of Davis. All of that led to them committing fully to Singletary and also letting Allen run loose more. Its been a big combining of factors wrt the run game, but its no deep balls over the middle winning these games.
  16. Go to his page and click "media" to see all of his gif's. Here is the one to Davis. Josh thinks its a go, Davis stops.
  17. Here is the one to Knox. I think Allen was correct, Dawson should have broken down the seam.
  18. meanwhile: https://larrybrownsports.com/football/mason-crosby-laces-in-holder-corey-borjorquez/586773
  19. Of these choices I would prefer a domed stadium downtown, ideally without PSLs. But my number one criteria in general is that they stay in Buffalo, so if an open air stadium in OP with PSLs is what keeps the Bills in Buffalo Im happy with it.
