Bleeding Bills Blue

It's a single game though - its never ideal when someone is out for a game. Kumerow is not some entirely incapable player just because he plays special teams.

Well - hes a free agent next year. Arizona.. Los Angeles.. they could both probably use a veteran back next year 🙂 I have him in fantasy and my friend just traded for him in another league. He sent me that video and i immediately said "We are f**ked"

He is a bigger corner, good tackler - and speed is probably the biggest thing that will hinder him at corner.

8 penalties, 4 fumbles, missed tackles. A lot of the same crap Denver had in this game. There's talent there. The offensive line is not inherently bad. But when every snap comes up at 1, they jump that snap count. The pre-snap motion reminded me of Roman. It's there, but it really never amounts to anything - and you never have enough time to even do it.

2 minutes left - you get the 1st and 10 on your side of the field. Either hurry up, or call timeout to call a couple of plays. Instead they ran like 30 seconds off the clock, seattle jumped the snap count for the like 40th time in the game, and they lost 4 yards. The next play was a quick pass incompletion, and the 3rd and 14 play was a swing pass behind the LOS. 4th and 5 with a minute left from the +46? Terrible clock management. Terrible use of timeouts. Terrible play calling. Big Ben had a couple of nice throws in that game. I think over the course of a season his arm would get worse.

At the time of the trade it was not determined who buffalo would get at WR. So people saying "you could have had jefferson" - at the time they did not know who would be available at that pick. Ruggs Jeudy and Lamb were all possible top 10 picks and all fell out of the top 10. Reagor went above Jefferson which was surprising, and then you also had Aiyuk go in the 1st. Pre trade most draft pundits had us getting Higgins, Aiyuk, or maybe Jefferson.

Rob Johnson had comically bad sack percentage numbers. 80 sacks across 2 seasons with a Bills career sack % of 14.2%. And for era adjustment... its still worst in the league. It's on par with the 2 seasons where David Carr was sacked 68 and 76 times.

Brady was getting beat up quite a bit in that one which I'm sure is frustrating. I stayed away from with the colts in survivor pool because i hate division matchups not involving the Jets. I also avoided the bears with poor weather.

I went with Ravens - The Jets just seem terrible in every facet.

Seriously. Dak was terrible in this game, that is a no doubt fact. The Oline no longer seems like a strength, and they were overmatched at WR all game. Noah Brown looked like their best WR... which is a problem. Not sure why Lamb had such a poor game. Their defense and run game are going to have to carry the load for a bit and I just don't see it. For them to sniff the playoffs they'd need to win their winnable games without Dak. Cin - L NYG - Winnable Wash - Winnable LAR - L Philly - L Detroit - Winnable Chicago - Winnable

He seemed to come off the field almost every time he made a big play - obviously the TD but the first down, some over hte middle stuff the next play he'd be on the sidelines for whatever reason.

Agreed, the knock on benford coming out was speed and level of competition. Speed isn't everything and projecting someone's ability against better competition is always a challenge. But he has the size teams covet, he's smart, good tackler, has ball skills - always funny to me when you list all that and then at the end the scouting report says something like "round 7 - priority UDFA". Helps the secondary when the d line obliterates the opposition. The biggest miscue that i saw in the game was the long play to Kupp, and from what i could tell that appeared to be on Benford. I think it was a cover 2 beater flag route type of thing, so the safety can't get over there but Benford was basically in no mans land. Still - good game all around.

LA gained 193 yards across 49 called passing plays (i included the 2 yard scramble but it barely moves the needle either way). That's like 4 yards per passing play with 3 turnovers. The panthers had the worst net yards per attempt in the league at 5.0 last season (the rams were 2nd in the nfl in this category at 7.3 net yards per attempt). The defense held the 5th best passing offense in 2021 to atrocious stats, I think we're being a bit nitpicky here.

He can catch, block, and run people over. He will never be an RB1, but he's the younger version of - Tolbert, Ivory, Gore, etc. He is a bull there to impose physicality on the opposition. He's never really had ball security issues so i look at it a bit as an isolated thing that he'll need to make sure he cleans up. When you watch his bills highlights, pretty much every one ends up with him running someone over. Be it meeting them in the hole and driving his way into the end zone, or just down field running directly at the tackler to try and hit them.

Yep to pretty much all of this. Moss is out on a bunch of snaps for blitz pickup - they didn't blitz so he is the escape valve. Allen took the check down several times to prevent a sack, or other mistake like a turnover. Singletary out snapped Moss in this game, moss just happened to get a bunch of assorted check downs for whatever reason. Fumble is annoying. Garbage time or not, don't put the ball on the turf. Especially when you're supposed to be the ball security guy of the group.

Liking boogie. Stepped up and had some 3T snaps after oliver went down. I assume if he's out at all then lawson becomes active and they do the best they can with what they have.

Just shut down their run game and the rest will fall into place. He ended at 52% but i don't think he played after we went up 31-10.

Whats wrong with Beane's drafting? Elam was brought in because sometimes you need to play man coverage, and he's a bigger faster man coverage style corner. He needs some work to fit into the total defensive scheme, but he'll get there. And if he doesn't - its pretty cool when a 2020 7th rounder and 2022 6th rounder don't look even slightly out of place.

Pretty sure after one of the timeouts they pulled poyer, hyde, edmunds, milano, and Johnson... so that to me is a good reason to use a timeout.

They were running the clock out and buffalo was content to let them hand it off. Then they switched to no huddle passing. I'd call timeout too, get the right personnel in to match.

It's one game. He played less than singletary, and if cook doesn't fumble he probably plays less than he even did. Knox leaked out in the flat and had space with only a LB in coverage. Probably not a major gain but keeps the drive rolling there.

Crowder sat on his route for some reason (probably play design?) but if he kept running and allen floated it in there it's a big gainer. In any case - DB was there and he forced.

Fair - he got the majority of snaps by a decent margin. We just pass a ton. For this reason or another, when moss was on the field for pass snaps they tended to end up as check downs to him. Motor had a called screen, and i don't believe moss did. Fumble is annoying, but people fumble. If I'm the coach I'm on his ass this week about it, and drive home focus and composure in big moments. I'm also not gonna crucify a guy for a fumble. Allen averages about 10 fumbles a year. Hell Motor has 10 recorded fumbles in his NFL career as well. I don't mind benching a back when he fumbles either, just don't bury a guy for a season when you will need them down the line.

Moss fumbled with 5 minutes left in the game. The next time we had the ball we kneeled.

Motor played 35/59 snaps to Moss 22/59 snaps. Cook played 3/59. Diggs played 38/59 snaps fwiw. Moss, Gilliam, Crowder, Mckenzie all played in that 15-25 range. Kumerow played 14 actually as well.
