Bleeding Bills Blue

Will be a very different looking TB team - hopefully they will not have gelled at that point.

The one short field was on a re-kick shanked punt. Not the refs fault he had a terrible punt on round 2. It works when you break tackles... or when you have effective downfield blocking... Or a design around it. I'm more concerned with our defense TBH. They had no answer other than the game just ending.

4 TDs on 5 drives and 1 was a 70 yarder with a turnover on downs where he threw a TD pass that was dropped. For a stretch there they were able to basically do whatever they wanted and the chiefs had no answer. After that they had the 3rd and 10 drive with a bad snap. After that it was basically a clock game so he didn't really need to do much but kill clock. Even the last 2 incomplete deep balls were imo thrown to try and draw PI. He got some calls that we didn't/wouldnt. I do wonder if like rodgers TDs on Offside plays, if he just has a knack for when to throw balls to draw PI calls.

1st and 4th round picks for Johnson too. Flutie was probably the most notable free agent. But you had the holcombs, fitz, tyrod, orton.

Yeah - its 2yr 47 mil - not terrible. That would leave philly with 34m but they can then split it over 2 years. Plus if you fix him - years 3 and 4 aren't bad anyway. You're probably right though - we dumped tyrod for pick 65 and they picked up his bonus. Teams want QBs.

I think a key in this one was how much better gronk is than knox. More sure handed and a load to tackle. Theyd run that TE out/screen thing we do with knox and gronk got a 1st every time they ran it.

Run it. They went with 6 DBs against our 11 personnel - Should be able to get some gains there. They doubled digs and bease depending on the situation. I think brown and davis both being banged up prevented them from ever really considering going with a 2 high look against us unless it was 3rd and forever.

I cant see a team trading for wentz and eating that 10m roster bonus either.

yeah - he was bouncing outside when he needed to. Didnt force anything, took what they gave him, and actually broke tackles. He hasn't been reliably doing like any of that.

The 2nd PI was basically the same as the gabe davis one. He was holding when the ball was in the air.

New TJ yeldon? Hey - at the very least they're worth some money.

Mahomes was not good throwing the ball when he wasn't pressured either.

Kelce had to swim off the line every single snap. And if he didn't, it was a simulated pressure so there was likely a corner or LB blitzing from somewhere else (they looped some of these LB and corner blitzes inside which i thought created more confusion). David + White are also a really poor matchup for Kelce too - There's nowhere to motion him to get an easier matchup. They tried stacking him behind hill to create more of a free release, but then they were struggling with protection since you didn't have Kelce to chip. Essentially it was light boxes, and better pass rush. But while CEH made some plays - them being in a hole/getting away from the run, and being unable to execute on 3rd down doomed them. Mahomes hurt them in man coverage a few times in the 1st half, but in the 2nd half he was absolutely shellshocked.

Or make them use the timeout they had... which they wouldn't have had later after the fournette completion. Probably a 4 point mistake.

I think going into the covid year - you wanted cohesion. They made some changes along the dline, and added a couple pieces on oline - but you didn't want to make these sweeping wholesale changes across the team.

In this economy? 8 would be high to me. Gordon got 2yr 16 last year (with a higher cap), after almost 1000 yards and 10 TDs the previous year. I'd guess maybe 6. Either way, possibly still too rich.

The defense got a pass rusher? But its the same DBs and no milano.

Whos the MLB if edmunds moves? Also - from a run fits perspective, it doesn't really matter who the MLB is. If Edmunds isn't manning the center zone in cover 2/cover 4 - who is? Klein? Also, rookie TEs tend to do nothing and the veteran TE market is garbage. Buffalo would have 3 running backs - with we'll say best case scenario of 350 carries. The offensive line is exactly the same, or probably worse. Special teams loses a ton of snaps as well.

Almost always comes down to money when you are trading a QB like wilson.

Fournette is available.

You do against KC so you don't get the hell blitzed out of you on 3rd and long. It helps having a TE like gronk that you can run in 11. If they wanna play their 6 DBs that means you have a DB matched up with him 1x1. They also did that same play we did where you leak the TE out and have the iso Wr block - and it works so much better when gronk just trucks the DB there.

All well and good - but brady was in complete control. The end of half TD followed by the drive after KC scored to bring it 21-9 were just complete game changers. Forced KC to be one dimensional, and I felt like if they needed to score more they would have.

There's a ton of teams with needs - but id assume the watson pin drops first (if at all). After that its a lot of filling gaps and waiting for the draft. If the guy Denver wants at 9 falls to them, they will draft him. If not, they might consider Darnold.

I mean... they can't run the ball and they have no receivers. They have no identity. Hes a tricky case cuz he flamed out largely due to alcohol. Carson Palmer might fit the bill - traded in his prime to oakland. Put up his statisitcal bests in Arizona on his 3rd team.

Gannon and kerry collins come to mind. Players who were essentially late bloomers, or just needed to find a new place. Drew brees is the big one.
