Bleeding Bills Blue

Yeah he didn't do anything wrong on the big play to waddle, the safety took a mis-step and that was all she wrote.

He had back to back catches on one drive too. I think he was there to really keep diggs fresh to make it harder on howard and it just never worked out that way.

Kumerow going out early was big i think. Good run blocking WR, and the depth behind diggs and davis. Davis played the entire game because he didn't cramp - but Diggs and Mckenzie both did. Diggs out means mckenzie or crowder lining up in his spots. Cook, Morris, Gilliam, all likely stepped in at times. Not to mention the patchwork unit on the offensive line.

Some dumb timeout usage on the road cost them in this one. But coaching isn't why bass misses a FG, or why singletary misses a block, or why allen misses a 4th down throw. Lot of stuff went wrong at the same time. It's tough to evaluate the unit in that one. Tons of shuffling, heat exhaustion, snap issues from under center. I don't know if they were even comfortable with mancz at center doing non shotgun snaps. Someone else mentioned it on a thread but - while the RPOs are mostly working, we're passing on almost all of them. There needs to be an under center element to the offense. I also think using mckenzie in jet motion more often will help. You can use davis and knox in motion as well to block backside ends as well.

Yesterday I'm not going to say its not on Josh, but its not all on him by any stretch. Here's every 1 score game we lost in that stretch. KC - Did enough to win, took lead with 13 seconds left TB - We didn't score on the first possession in OT. but he did drive us down to tie the game. We also got hosed on a blatant no-call holding that would have given us multiple chances to punch it in from the goalline. NE - Wind game Jags - Allen played bad, so did everyone else on offense - i'll give that one to josh Titans - Slipped QB sneak and a missed block. Defense did let them score on the 2 drives in the 4th quarter though. Steelers - 10 point game that was made a 1 score game when we kicked a FG down 23-13. We were down 13-10 in the 4th in this one and a blocked punt TD pretty much sealed it. There's some bad luck in there (steelers and titans), bad weather (NE and now Miami), and some poor performances all around (KC and TB defensively, and Jags game offensively). In 2020 they were 6-1 in 1 score games.

You're not wrong. Attack the mesh point - its how you defend RPOs in the backfield.

I think both of those moss runs were out of shotgun too.

He had the longest play of the day...

On that 1st and goal inside the 2 - i wondered why we didn't go goalline package. Then realized we had no one. There was no additional lineman on the bench to even go in as a tackle eligible. They got blown out by a team that had 15 total wins in the previous 4 seasons. They didn't miss a kick - they got destroyed. That has to be a concern for the Chargers.

We had 92 offensive snaps - moss played 16. On those he had the longest play of the day.

I wasn't gonna say it but... he hasn't been very effective. No he didn't. Singletary missed the block.

Has to be. Missed snap. Missed blitz pickups. I think Spencer Brown being clearly hampered was a killer at points before he went out, and quessenberry struggled at times as well. Morse, Bates, Brown, Hart suspended. We had to use knox as a blocker for the majority of the game.

Missed facemask on allen in the end zone. Missed knee target on allen on same drive. Missed call on the helmet lead to knox. Missed kick call on Ingram. I believe wilkins also went for a "peanut" punch and hit allen in the... groin. No call and Allen gets one for retaliating.

Most of tyreeks YAC comes on deeper stuff actually. While he occasionally will break a tackle on the short stuff it really isn't his game.

Yep - my brothers and i dragged our feet and this is the result. Next year we're going to plan this on schedule release day.

The price will almost certainly crash approaching game time. If the ticket cost someone 100 bucks and they're trying to get 400 - its better to get 50 at 1230 than be out 100. But you're playing with fire - once everyone starts tailgating the 5G connection barely works (i've had to switch my spotify to downloaded music many times). Then you have to actually get the barcode (which i do the night before and save to my google wallet).

Brokers definitely are - they bought up everything they could for the next couple of months and set a new market rate. You can't really get rid of brokers though, reselling tickets is a necessary evil. You could try to force people to sell them at face value or something I suppose, but then you might be looking at a fairly empty stadium come December. And I'm not sure how positive it'd read that ticketmaster lets you lose money on tickets, or get your money back... but never make money. Despite them making money on both the sale and purchase. Brokers sell tickets for what people are willing to pay for them - is what it is. The problem is the bills were so terrible for so long that they were very broker friendly. They sold season tickets to brokers, but also sold blocks to brokers at discounts to sell out games. You only get 8 games so its definitely something you had to do back then. I think Buffalo probably could (and should) raise ticket prices for season ticket holders as well as individual games. I think the first PSE pin to drop was when they fired the tickets guy at the sabres. They lost a ton of "season ticket holders" but there were a lot of brokers who were given seats at huge discounts and would then sell them on secondary market. I think it was one of the reasons the Sabres lost so much money over the last several years. Now the arena was definitely hurting for attendance in 2021-2022, but the market was brought back to normal - no more 10 dollar seats in the 100s. Instead - Buffalo just kept the tickets on their books and tried to sell them at face as individual game tickets. You probably lose some money in the short term, but the strategy is to create some demand again.

My thoughts for 2023 (which who cares a lot will change by then) White Elam Johnson at CB with dane/neal as depth - and Benford moves to safety.

None of its guaranteed though - they're all basically option years. If you wanted you could lower the cap hit in year 1 and add void years or restructure bonuses.

Seems like a good idea... in theory. Multiple friends have had issues with interlock systems. It registered albuterol as alcohol, it doesn't turn on when its cold, it breaks and registers it as you trying to modify it, multiple issues calling manufacturer, replacements are expensive and probably not under warranty, not a lot of mechanics service them. It's easy for a judge to not care about any of this... its in your car because you have a DUI. But for them to try and institute this into new cars? They need to go a LONG way to fixing the technology. In that one they were trying to get the defense to jump on a hard count so i think they were going to do this no matter what. Any normal situation? Try and snap it.

I don't think the DT ever actually entered the neutral zone.

They need a new coach and a QB - If I'm the GM I'm not trading weapons. Especially at drastically reduced value.

They signed a guy off our practice squad so immediately their best player becomes available for trade? CMC is actually quite - not expensive. His base salary for the year is $1,035,000. Only 1 million of his 2023 salary is guaranteed for injury. So its basically 1yr 1M + 1M in injury guarantees and 3 option years at about 12M a piece. It would boost his cap hit for carolina from 8M to 27M though so I'm not sure they would trade him. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/christian-mccaffery-21749/

Titans are usually a good run defense team. They missed some tackles against the giants but they still carry a pretty stout group of linemen and linebackers. Their secondary has a lot of young players especially at corner and it looks like dorsey decided - they have no one who can hang with Diggs. He was right.

7 of those points against NE were a defensive score as well.
